Book Description
In the years following the Mexican Revolution, a nationalist and masculinist image of Mexico emerged through the novels of the Revolution, the murals of Diego Rivera, and the movies of Golden Age cinema. Challenging this image were the Contemporáneos, a group of writers whose status as outsiders (sophisticated urbanites, gay men, women) gave them not just a different perspective, but a different gaze, a new way of viewing the diverse Mexicos that exist within Mexican society. In this book, Salvador Oropesa offers original readings of the works of five Contemporáneos—Salvador Novo, Xavier Villaurrutia, Agustín Lazo, Guadalupe Marín, and Jorge Cuesta—and their efforts to create a Mexican literature that was international, attuned to the realities of modern Mexico, and flexible enough to speak to the masses as well as the elites. Oropesa discusses Novo and Villaurrutia in relation to neo-baroque literature and satiric poetry, showing how these inherently subversive genres provided the means of expressing difference and otherness that they needed as gay men. He explores the theatrical works of Lazo, Villaurrutia's partner, who offered new representations of the closet and of Mexican history from an emerging middle-class viewpoint. Oropesa also looks at women's participation in the Contemporáneos through Guadalupe Marín, the sometime wife of Diego Rivera and Jorge Cuesta, whose novels present women's struggles to have a view and a voice of their own. He concludes the book with Novo's self-transformation from intellectual into celebrity, which fulfilled the Contemporáneos' desire to merge high and popular culture and create a space where those on the margins could move to the center.

Book Description
«MIS INVESTIGACIONES Y ALGO MAS» es una compilación póstuma, en tres tomos, de cuanto escribió e investigó su autor: ADALBERTO AFONSO FERNANDEZ, en los tres países donde vivió: Cuba, Venezuela y España. Los amantes de la lectura y de la Historia, encontrarán gratificantes estos libros que son, además, una excelente y fidedigna fuente de consulta para inquirir sobre tiempos atrás, llevados por el placer de leer o con propósitos creativos o didácticos. El Tomo I posee los dos primeros capítulos -de los trece en total de la Obra- con una variedad de textos antiguos que salvan para la posteridad mucho de la pretérita vida cultural cubana desde la óptica de la ciudad natal del escritor. "Apuntes para una Cronología de Ciego de Avila" -1538 a 1958- (capítulo 1), y "Ciego de Avila. Hijos Ilustres"(capítulo 2) con ensayos biográficos enriquecidos con antologías, cronologías y publicaciones de la prensa de entonces acerca de figuras cubanas pertenecientes a aquella localidad que se proyectaron más allá de la misma: Vicente Iriondo de la Vara (quien hizo construir el primer teatro de allí; Manuel Diego Venega (poeta repentista) y los escritores y periodistas: Antonio Benedico Rodríguez ; Gabriel Jiménez Lamar y José Muñiz Vergara «El Capitán Nemo» cuyo nombre llevó la primera biblioteca pública del pueblo en 1947. Las fuentes de donde se obtuvieron los datos para la Cronología puede que ya no existan y esto le da un notorio valor a esta publicación: periódicos y revistas de la época y antiguos libros del Ayuntamiento de la ciudad rescatados de los tanques de basura o de ser consumidos por las llamas a principios de la Revolución de 1959.

Book Description
This volume is the continuation of the book Suicide in Modern Literature, edited by Josefa Ros Velasco. Considering the positive reception of this book, Ros Velasco launches the second part, entitled The Contemporary Writer and their Suicide. This time, leading representatives of various disciplines analyze the literary, philosophical, and biographical works of contemporary writers worldwide who attempted to commit suicide or achieved their goal, looking for covert and overt clues about their intentions in their writings. This book aims to continue shedding light on the social and structural causes that lead to suicide and on the suicidal mind, but also to show that people assiduous to writing usually reflect their intentions to commit suicide in their writings, to explain how these frequently veiled intentions can be revealed and interpreted, and to highlight the potential of artistic, philosophical, and autobiographical writing as a tool to detect suicidal ideation and prevent its consummation in vulnerable people. This book analyzes several case studies and their allusions to their contexts and the socio-structural and environmental violence and pressures they suffered, expressions of their will and agency, feelings of dislocation between the individual, reality, and existential alienation, and literary styles, writing techniques, and metaphorical language.

Book Description
El Gran Silencio es individual, lo siento en mí con tal intensidad que poco importa si me creen o no. Hace tiempo que ya pasé la fase de la aprobación. Aunque sería bueno saber que soy comprendido, no tengo ninguna expectativa en ese sentido. Simplemente he tratado aquí de expresar una vez más lo inexpresable, de dar testimonio de lo que Yo Soy. Al entrar en el Gran Silencio he capitulado. He dejado de creer que la humanidad podía en su conjunto despertarse a la consciencia. No obstante, creo firmemente que algunos individuos lo pueden lograr ya que es su deseo más preciado. Es para ellos que escribo esta obra, es hacia ellos que dedico mi obra. Me gustaría recordarles que es el deber de cada uno el liberarse a sí mismos incluso antes de tratar de hacerlo para los demás.
