Book Description
Entre los siglos XVIII y XIX se suele localizar lo que se denomina crisis de la Modernidad. Esta crisis se identifica, de un modo u otro, con una crisis de la subjetividad: si el sujeto es la gran apuesta filosófica y cultural de la Modernidad, la crisis del uno y de la otra naturalmente se identifican. Pero, ¿realmente fueron en algún momento el sujeto, y la Modernidad en general, ajenos a la crisis? La Modernidad tiene su hábitat natural en las crisis recurrentes y en la incertidumbre. Incertidumbre por el derrumbamiento de un mundo, el ordenado cosmos medieval, estable y con visos de eternidad. También, la incertidumbre de la apuesta por el individuo humano como fulcro de toda nueva visión moderna: un individuo que es inevitablemente precario, efímero e inestable. Por último, la incertidumbre que provocan los otros en un nuevo orden social en el que las expectativas no tienen por qué estar preestablecidas. El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en iluminar la crisis de la Modernidad desde su núcleo, la crisis de la subjetividad moderna, haciendo uso como vector de interpretación de la figura del doble tal y como aparece en algunos textos románticos. Su propósito es, pues, plenamente filosófico, aunque vaya a articularse, en parte, a través del análisis de textos y motivos que también son genuinamente literarios...

'Los Invisibles'
Author: Richard CleminsonPublisher: University of Wales
ISBN: 0708320120
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
Examining the social, medical and cultural history of male homosexuality in Spain, this book looks at it from the time homosexuality came to be an issue of medical, legal and cultural concern. Research into homosexuality in Spain is in its infancy. The last ten or fifteen years have seen a proliferation of studies on gender in Spain but much of this work has concentrated on women's history, literature and femininity. In contrast to existing research which concentrates on literature and literary figures, "Los Invisibles" focuses on the change in cultural representation of same-sex activity of through medicalisation, social and political anxieties about race and the late emergence of homosexual sub-cultures in the last quarter of the twentieth century. As such, this book constitutes an analysis of discourses and ideas from a social history and medical history position. Much of the research for the book was supported by a grant from the Wellcome Trust to research the medicalisation of homosexuality in Spain.

Cigar Smoke and Violet Water

Category : Gender identity in literature
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
In Cigar Smoke and Violet Water, a work informed by feminist and narrative theory as well as by linguistic discourse analysis, Joyce Tolliver considers narrative tactics and their cultural context in the nineteenth-century Spanish writer Emilia Pardo Bazan (1851-1921). The critical focus is on the narrative voices in short stories by this writer and on the role gender plays both in narrative dynamics and in the writer's engagement with her public.
World Anthropologies
Author: Gustavo Lins RibeiroPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000184498
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Marginal Subjects
Author: Akiko TsuchiyaPublisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1442642947
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
Late nineteenth-century Spanish fiction is populated by adulteresses, prostitutes, seduced women, and emasculated men - indicating an almost obsessive interest in gender deviance. In Marginal Subjects, Akiko Tsuchiya shows how the figure of the deviant woman--and her counterpart, the feminized man - revealed the ambivalence of literary writers towards new methods of social control in Restoration Spain. Focusing on works by major realist authors such as Benito Pérez Galdós, Emilia Pardo Bazán, and Leopoldo Alas (Clarín), as well as popular novelists like Eduardo López Bago, Marginal Subjects argues that these archetypes were used to channel collective anxieties about sexuality, class, race, and nation. Tsuchiya also draws on medical and anthropological texts and illustrated periodicals to locate literary works within larger cultural debates. Marginal Subjects is a riveting exploration of why realist and naturalist narratives were so invested in representing gender deviance in fin-de-siècle Spain.
Unaccompanied

Pages : 118
Book Description
New York Times Bestselling Author of Solito "Every line resonates with a wind that crosses oceans."—Jamaal May "Zamora's work is real life turned into myth and myth made real life." —Glappitnova Javier Zamora was nine years old when he traveled unaccompanied 4,000 miles, across multiple borders, from El Salvador to the United States to be reunited with his parents. This dramatic and hope-filled poetry debut humanizes the highly charged and polarizing rhetoric of border-crossing; assesses borderland politics, race, and immigration on a profoundly personal level; and simultaneously remembers and imagines a birth country that's been left behind. Through an unflinching gaze, plainspoken diction, and a combination of Spanish and English, Unaccompanied crosses rugged terrain where families are lost and reunited, coyotes lead migrants astray, and "the thin white man let us drink from a hose / while pointing his shotgun." From "Let Me Try Again": He knew we weren't Mexican. He must've remembered his family coming over the border, or the border coming over them, because he drove us to the border and told us next time, rest at least five days, don't trust anyone calling themselves coyotes, bring more tortillas, sardines, Alhambra. He knew we would try again. And again—like everyone does. Javier Zamora was born in El Salvador and immigrated to the United States at the age of nine. He earned a BA at UC-Berkeley, an MFA at New York University, and is a 2016–2018 Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford University.
