Book Description
This book examines the way in which a group of key Spanish and Latin American intellectuals of the nineteenth and twentieth-centuries discussed the concept of the Spanish language. The contributors analyse the ways in which these discussions related to the construction of national identities and the idea of an Hispanic culture. This book will be essential reading for sociolinguists, scholars of the Spanish language, historians of the Hispanic culture, and all those with an interest in the relationship between language and culture.

Book Description
El lenguaje no verbal es determinante para el éxito o el fracaso en tu vida, en tu trabajo y en tus relaciones. Comunicar no sólo es dar información, sino también transmitir, conmover, persuadir, emocionar y hacer sentir a través de los gestos, la postura y a la voz. Tu comunicación no verbal representa el 93% del impacto que causarás en los otros. Cuántas veces te ha pasado que alguna persona te dice "si", pero sospechas que realmente dijo "no"? el lenguaje sin palabras es el único canal de comunicación en el que es imposible mentir, en el que la gente expresa su yo verdadero, incluso sin darse cuenta; es una herramienta social que ayuda a entender al otro y a conectar mejor con los demás. Este libro te enseñará a leer las emociones y a interpretar el lenguaje no verbal de todos los que te rodean para que descifres qué es lo que están transmitiendo de manera inconsciente y cómo se sienten en determinadas situaciones: * Detectarás seguridad o inseguridad en las personas. * Diferenciarás si muestran arrogancia o frustración o si están a la defensiva. * Sabrás si alguien está nervioso, ansioso o preocupado * Reconocerás si la persona está interesada o muestra indiferencia. Estas herramientas te permitirán tener congruencia entre lo que dices, lo que haces y lo que eres, y te ayudarán a mejorar la comunicación con los que te rodean y a elegir la manera ideal para transmitir tu mensaje. Si sabes reconocer, identificar y mover las emociones de alguien más, será muy fácil venderle, persuadirlo y hasta hacerlo votar por ti. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Non-verbal language is decisive to succeed or fail in life, at work, and in relationships. Communication is not only about providing information—it is about conveying, affecting, persuading, thrilling, making others fee lcertain things through your gestures, your posture, your voice. The impact you have on others is 93 per cent non-verbal communication. How many times have you heard someone say “yes”, but actually suspect they said “no”? This wordless language is the only means of communication in which people cannot lie, where they express their true self, even unaware. It is a social tool that will help you understand others and better connect with them. This book will teach you to read emotion and interpret non-verbal language in everyone around you, so you may decipher what it is they are conveying unconsciously, as well as how they feel in certain situations. You will: •Notice if people are confident or not. •Determine if what they are expressing is arrogance or frustration, or if they are being defensive. •Know if someone is nervous, or anxious, or worried. •Realize if that person is interested or displaying indifference. These tools will enable you to be consistent between what you say, what you do, and who you are. They will help you improve your communication with those around you and choose the ideal way to deliver your message. If you know how to acknowledge, pinpoint, and stir someone else’s emotions, it will be very easy to sell them something, to persuade them, and even makethem vote for you.

Book Description
Sociocultural psychology is a discipline located at the crossroads between the natural and social sciences and the humanities. This international overview of the field provides an antireductionist and comprehensive account of how experience and behaviour arise from human action with cultural materials in social practices. The outcome is a vision of the dynamics of sociocultural and personal life in which time and developmental constructive transformations are crucial. This second edition provides expanded coverage of how particular cultural artefacts and social practices shape experience and behaviour in the realms of art and aesthetics, economics, history, religion and politics. Special attention is also paid to the development of identity, the self and personhood throughout the lifespan, while retaining the emphasis on experience and development as key features of sociocultural psychology.

Book Description
The history of exile literature is as old as the history of writing itself. Despite this vast and varied literary tradition, criticism of exile writing has tended to analyze these works according to a binary logic, where exile either produces creative freedom or it traps the writer in restrictive nostalgia. The Dialectics of Exile: Nation, Time, Language and Space in Hispanic Literatures offers a theory of exile writing that accounts for the persistence of these dual impulses and for the ways that they often co-exist within the same literary works. Focusing on writers working in the latter part of the twentieth century who were exiled during a historical moment of increasing globalization, transnational economics, and the theoretical shifts of postmodernism, Sophia A. McClennen proposes that exile literature is best understood as a series of dialectic tensions about cultural identity. Through comparative analysis of Juan Goytisolo (Spain), Ariel Dorfman (Chile) and Cristina Peri Rossi (Uruguay), this book explores how these writers represent exile identity. Each chapter addresses dilemmas central to debates over cultural identity such as nationalism versus globalization, time as historical or cyclical, language as representationally accurate or disconnected from reality, and social space as utopic or dystopic. McClennen demonstrates how the complex writing of these three authors functions as an alternative discourse of cultural identity that not only challenges official versions imposed by authoritarian regimes, but also tests the limits of much cultural criticism.

Book Description
Juan Goytisolo is arguably Spain’s foremost contemporary novelist. This book is one of the few major studies in English to examine all of his mature works, from Señas de identidad in 1966 to Las semanas del jardín, published in 1997. It focuses on the interface between the thematic content of the novels and its formal expression, viewing this as the crucial nexus of their meaning. Goytisolo’s writing is, in his own words, a "commitment of myself ... for a transformation of the world". The Poetics of Contagion dissects the nature of the relationship between writer and reader to show how Goytisolo’s political commitment is reflected in his work.

Book Description
George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Politics and the English Language, the second in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell takes aim at the language used in politics, which, he says, ‘is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind’. In an age where the language used in politics is constantly under the microscope, Orwell’s Politics and the English Language is just as relevant today, and gives the reader a vital understanding of the tactics at play. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times
