Book Description
Memory and History in Argentine Popular Music examines Argentine popular music of the 1990s and early 2000s that denounced, immortalized, and reflected on the processes that led to the socioeconomic crisis that shook Argentine society at the end of 2001. It draws upon the three most popular genres of the time—tango, rock chabón, and cumbia villera, a form of cumbia from the shantytowns. The book analyzes lyrics from these three genres detailing how they capture the feel of daily life and the changes that occurred under the neoliberal economic model that ravaged the country throughout the ‘90s. The contention is that these are canciones con historia, songs that depict historical events and tell personal stories. Therefore, the lyrics from all three genres serve as accounts of historical events and social and economic changes, denouncing the social inequalities caused by neoliberal economic policies. Furthermore, the book explores how the process of remembering and forgetting takes place on the Internet. It examines how users navigate video-sharing portals and use music to create “virtual sites of memory,” a term that extends Winter’s conception of physical sites of memory to digital environments as virtual sites of commemoration.

Music and Youth Culture in Latin America
Author: Pablo VilaPublisher:
ISBN: 0199986274
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Music is one of the most distinctive cultural characteristics of Latin American countries. But, while many people in the United States and Europe are familiar with musical genres such as salsa, merengue, and reggaet n, the musical manifestations that young people listen to in most Latin American countries are much more varied than these commercially successful ones that have entered the American and European markets. Not only that, the young people themselves often have little in common with the stereotypical image of them that exists in the American imagination. Bridging this divide between perception and reality, Music and Youth Culture in Latin America brings together contributors from throughout Latin America and the US to examine the ways in which music is used to advance identity claims in several Latin American countries and among Latinos in the US. From young Latin American musicians who want to participate in the vibrant jazz scene of New York without losing their cultural roots, to Peruvian rockers who sing in their native language (Quechua) for the same reasons, to the young Cubans who use music to construct a post-communist social identification, this volume sheds new light on the complex ways in which music provides people from different countries and social sectors with both enjoyment and tools for understanding who they are in terms of nationality, region, race, ethnicity, class, gender, and migration status. Drawing on a vast array of fields including popular music studies, ethnomusicology, sociology, and history, Music and Youth Culture in Latin America is an illuminating read for anyone interested in Latin American music, culture, and society.

El Libro de los Salmos y las Profecias de los Tiempos del Fin

Pages : 389
Book Description
Un día, como otras veces, abrí mi Biblia al azar, para recibir algún mensaje de Dios, es una costumbre bien conocida entre los cristianos. Leí el último capítulo de Lucas y puse mi atención en el versículo 44 y me pregunté ¿Qué es lo que está escrito en los Salmos acerca de Cristo? Los Salmos son cánticos, alabanzas, la historia cantada de un pueblo, un pueblo hostigado y perseguido por siglos. Me di a la tarea de leer con cuidado todas las expresiones de los 150 Salmos que se encuentran en la Biblia. Encontré un tesoro. Descubrí profecías relacionadas con Cristo en casi todos los Salmos. Fue una experiencia inolvidable, con pasión y frenesí me di a la tarea de poner en un libro todas esas profecías que hablan de nuestro Salvador y Dios, de su origen, su niñéz, su entrada al mundo, sus milagros, enseñanzas, su sacrificio y sufrimientos, además su triunfo y coronación como futuro Rey en Jerusalén y su dominio sobre todas las cosas.

Reading La Regenta
Author: Stephanie A. SieburthPublisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027217432
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 135
Book Description
Criticism of La Regenta has until recently focused on the text's plot as an extraordinarily coherent and convincing fictional world. Stephanie A. Sieburth demonstrates that the devices which produce order in the text are counterbalanced by an equally strong tendency toward entropy of meaning. The narrator is shown to be duplicitous and unreliable in his judgments on characters and events. Without an omniscient narrator, readers must interpret for themselves the complex intertextual structure of the novel. Saints' lives, honor plays, and serial novels each provide partial reflections of Ana Ozores' story. The text becomes a collage of mutually reflecting segments which, like Ana in her moments of self-doubt and madness, ultimately question the function of language and of any overriding interpretation or meaning.
