Las mujeres y la ópera
Author: Hélène SeydouxPublisher: Editorial Almuzara
ISBN: 8483566532
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 343
Book Description
Hélène Seydoux establece brillantemente cómo en la ópera, más que en otras formas artísticas –literatura, teatro o cine–, las mujeres reciben el máximo privilegio al otorgar a las cantantes el mayor espacio lírico. Seydoux analiza las grandes óperas de los grandes compositores y trata de buscar un modelo emblemático femenino que sirva como referente común en el ámbito del bel canto, mientras trata de buscar paralelismos con la época, la sociedad, el momento en el que las óperas fueron creadas intentando establecer hasta que punto estas son reflejo de esas condiciones. Porque la ópera también es una interpretación del mundo. La autora, se aleja de la tesis de la musicología y ayuda al lector a descubrir (o a redescubrir) los placeres de la tragedia lírica, la comedia bufa o el drama jocular.
Revolucionarias

Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
This book collects essays which discuss women's representation of women and the war story in Latin American literature, looking in particular at their experiences, historical contexts, and their political and creative aims. This collection draws together for the first time a range of narratives of conflict and revolution as represented by Latin American women writers. By embracing a broad definition of conflict and by engaging with a wide range of narratives of conflict, it provides a space for multiple and complex versions of subjectivity, writing and experience-in-conflict to co-exist.
Leading Ladies
Author: Yvonne FuentesPublisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 0807130826
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Written by Hispanic and non-Hispanic scholars, these twelve essays -- six in English and six in Spanish -- disclose how over the past four centuries static and formulaic images of women in Hispanic art and literature have given way to lively and original portrayals. The leading ladies explored in this volume include women who are objects of the male gaze, women who gaze upon the male body, women who are characters, and women who are writers, painters, and filmmakers. The essayists offer a panorama that stimulates the senses and challenges assumptions as they reveal strategies used by both male and female writers and artists to unmask conventions, identify spaces, and remake paradigms.Marina Mayoral's introduction traces the representation of the beloved woman in Spanish lyric poetry from the Middle Ages to the present. The contributors and topics that follow include Amy Robinson on the silencing of female voices such as those of Cecilia Valdés and Carmen; Vilma Navarro-Daniels on the writer and historian Carmen Martín Gaite; Lynn Walford's analysis of Mario Vargas Llosa's leading ladies; Katherine Ford's exploration of Chicana writer Gloria Anzaldúa's Borderlands/La Frontera; Julia Carroll on Puerto Rican writer Giannina Braschi; George Thomas on the poetry of the seventeenth-century Mexican poet Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz; Alison Tatum-Davis on Carmen Laforet's Nada; Mónica Jato's examination of three female characters from Alfonso Sastre's trilogy Los crímenes extraños; Caryn Connelly on the collaborations of Mexican scriptwriter Paz Alicia Garcíadiego and film director Arturo Ripstein; Sharon Keefe Ugalde on cinema gender referents in the work of certain Spanish women poets; Carmen García de la Rasilla's study of female surrealist artists; and Mayte de Lama on three short-story characters of the fiction writer Marina Mayoral.Covering numerous genres, reaching across three continents, and using a variety of critical strategies, Leading Ladies presents a dazzling array of artistic endeavors in which women are of central importance.

Book Description
Los textos aquí reunidos proceden en su práctica totalidad del ciclo de conferencias "Imagen de la mujer en la literatura inglesa" que, organizado por el Grupo de Investigación "Poesía y Traducción" con ayuda de la Consejería de Educación y Ciencia de la Junta de Andalucía, se celebró en la Universidad de Almería del 24 al 28 de abril de 1995.

En aras de una mayor homogeneidad, los nueve estudios selccionados han sido agrupados en tres bloques cronológicos: I) Edad Media y Renacimiento II) Siglo XIX y III) Siglo XX.
Americas & Latinas
Author: Las Raras
Author: Sarah MoodyPublisher: Vanderbilt University Press
ISBN: 0826506909
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Las Raras proposes that the Modernistas’ advocacy for a writing style they considered feminine helps us to understand why so few (and perhaps no) women were accepted as active participants in Modernismo. Author Sarah Moody studies how particular writers contributed to the idea of a feminine aesthetic and tracks the intellectual networks of Modernismo through periodicals and personal papers, such as albums and correspondence. Buenos Aires, Paris, and Montevideo figure prominently in this transatlantic study, which reexamines some of the most important period writers in Spanish, including Rubén Darío, Amado Nervo, and Enrique Gómez Carrillo. This book also considers the critiques launched by women writers, such as Aurora Cáceres, Clorinda Matto de Turner, and María Eugenia Vaz Ferreira, who experienced Modernista exclusion firsthand, deconstructed the Modernista discourse of a modern, “feminine” style, and built literary success in alternative terms. These writers reoriented the discussion about women in modernity to address women’s education, professionalization, and advocacy for social and civic improvements. In this study, Modernismo emerges as both a literary style and an intellectual network, in which style and sociability are mutually determining and combine to form a system of prestige and validation that excluded women writers.
