Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enrique Jardiel Poncela fue un escritor y dramaturgo español. Su obra, relacionada con el teatro del absurdo, se alejó del humor tradicional acercándose a otro más intelectual, inverosímil e ilógico, rompiendo así con el naturalismo tradicional imperante en el teatro español de la época. Esto le supuso ser atacado por una gran parte de la crítica de su tiempo, ya que su humor hería los sentimientos más sensibles y abría un abanico de posibilidades cómicas que no siempre eran bien entendidas. A esto hay que sumar sus posteriores problemas con la censura franquista. Sin embargo, el paso de los años no ha hecho sino acrecentar su figura y sus obras siguen representándose en la actualidad, habiéndose rodado además numerosas películas basadas en ellas.

Download or read book Tortilleras written by Lourdes Torres and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2003-02-21 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first anthology to focus exclusively on queer readings of Spanish, Latin American, and US Latina lesbian literature and culture, Tortilleras interrogates issues of gender, national identity, race, ethnicity, and class to show the impossibility of projecting a singular Hispanic or Latina Lesbian. Examining carefully the works of a range of lesbian writers and performance artists, including Carmelita Tropicana and Christina Peri Rossi, among others, the contributors create a picture of the complicated and multi-textured contributions of Latina and Hispanic lesbians to literature and culture. More than simply describing this sphere of creativity, the contributors also recover from history the long, veiled existence of this world, exposing its roots, its impact on lesbian culture, and, making the power of lesbian performance and literature visible.

Download or read book A Pre-Columbian Bestiary written by Ilan Stavans and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2020-10-30 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An encyclopedic collaboration between award-winning Mexican American scholar Ilan Stavans and illustrator Eko, A Pre-Columbian Bestiary features lively and informative descriptions of forty-six religious, mythical, and imaginary creatures from the Nahua, Aztec, Maya, Tabasco, Inca, Aymara, and other cultures of Latin America. From the siren-like Acuecuéyotl and the water animal Chaac to the class-conscious Oc and the god of light and darkness Xólotl, the magnificent entities in this volume belong to the same family of real and invented creatures imagined by Dante, Franz Kafka, C. S. Lewis, Jorge Luis Borges, Umberto Eco, and J. K. Rowling. They are mined from indigenous religious texts, like the Popol Vuh, and from chronicles, both real and fictional, of the Spanish conquest by Diego Durán, Bernal Díaz del Castillo, and Fernando de Zarzamora, among others. In this playful compilation, Stavans distills imagery from the work of magic realist masters such as Juan Rulfo and Gabriel García Márquez; from songs of protest in Mexico, Guatemala, and Peru; and from aboriginal beasts in Jewish, Muslim, European, British, and other traditions. In the spirit of imaginative invention, even the bibliography is a mixture of authentic and concocted material. An inspiring record of resistance and memory from a civilization whose superb pantheon of myths never ceases to amaze, A Pre-Columbian Bestiary will delight anyone interested in the history and culture of Latin America.

Download or read book From Silver Screen to Spanish Stage written by Stuart Nishan Green and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2011-05-31 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book-length English-language study of a group of five artists closely linked with the Spanish avant-garde in the 1920s and 1930s, now known as the ‘Other’ Generation of 27. In the same way that their contemporaries of the celebrated Generation of 27 (which included Federico Garcia Lorca) attempted a revolution of the arts through poetry inspired by European modernism, the ‘Other’ Generation of 27 attempted to renovate Spanish humour, first in prose, and then in the theatre and cinema. This book demonstrates how these humorists drew on the humour of Chaplin, Keaton, Lubitsch and the Marx Brothers for their stage comedy, and how they stretched the limits of the stage at the time by incorporating cinematic techniques, such as flashback, voice-overs and montage, in their search for new dramatic forms.

Download or read book The Novel in the Spanish Silver Age written by José Calvo Tello and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2021-10-31 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What distinguishes an adventure novel from a historical novel? Can the same text belong to several genres? More to one than to another? Have some existing genres been overlooked? To answer these and similar questions, José Calvo Tello combines methods from Linguistics (lexicography), Literary Studies (genre theory), and Computer Science (machine learning, natural language processing). Located in the interdisciplinary field of Digital Humanities, this study analyzes a newly developed corpus of 358 Spanish novels of the silver age (1880-1939), which includes authors like Baroja, Pardo Bazán, or Valle-Inclán. Calvo Tello's key result is a graph-based model of literary genre that reconciles recent theoretical approaches.
