Book Description
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.

Tortilleras

Tortilleras PDF Author: Lourdes Torres
Publisher: Temple University Press
ISBN: 9781592130078
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 292

Book Description
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.

From Silver Screen to Spanish Stage

From Silver Screen to Spanish Stage PDF Author: Stuart Nishan Green
Publisher: University of Wales Press
ISBN: 1783164654
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 237

Book Description
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.

A Pre-Columbian Bestiary

A Pre-Columbian Bestiary PDF Author: Ilan Stavans
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271088192
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 117

Book Description
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.

Faking, Forging, Counterfeiting

Faking, Forging, Counterfeiting PDF Author: Daniel Becker
Publisher: transcript Verlag
ISBN: 3839437628
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 249

Book Description
Forgeries are an omnipresent part of our culture and closely related to traditional ideas of authenticity, legality, authorship, creativity, and innovation. Based on the concept of mimesis, this volume illustrates how forgeries must be understood as autonomous aesthetic practices - creative acts in themselves - rather than as mere rip-offs of an original work of art. The proceedings bring together research from different scholarly fields. They focus on various mimetic practices such as pseudo-translations, imposters, identity theft, and hoaxes in different artistic and historic contexts. By opening up the scope of the aesthetic implications of fakes, this anthology aims to consolidate forging as an autonomous method of creation.

The Novel in the Spanish Silver Age

The Novel in the Spanish Silver Age PDF Author: José Calvo Tello
Publisher: transcript Verlag
ISBN: 3839459257
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 471

Book Description
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.
