The Hermeneutics of Poetic Sense
ISBN: 9780802042439 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In his earlier books, Shadows in the Cave (1982) and Phenomenological Hermeneutics and the Study of Literature (1987), Mario Valdes laid the foundation for his phenomenological-hermeneutic approach to literary criticism. With this book he continues the development of his ideas, using his views of literature, cinema, and art to unravel what he calls 'the imaginative configuration of the world, the cultural phenomenon of making sense, poetic sense, of life.' The book takes the form of a collection of studies dealing with a variety of key issues in literary theory. A...

ISBN: 9780826313928 / Angielski / Twarda / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the first travel journals of its kind to be published, this epic poem about Juan de Onate's entrada that led to the founding of Nueva Mexico in 1598 (to become the state of New Mexico 314 years later) is full of the hopes and dreams of those who travelled with Onate.

An Erotic Philology of Golden Age Spain
ISBN: 9780826515780 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Early modern Spanish literature is remarkably rich in erotic texts that conventionally chaste critical traditions have willfully disregarded or repudiated as inferior or unworthy of study. Nonetheless, eroticism is a lightning rod for defining mentalities and social, intellectual, and literary history within the nascent field that the author calls erotic philology. An Erotic Philology of Golden Age Spain takes sexuality and eroticism out of the historical closet, placing them at the forefront of early modern humanistic studies.

Latin American cinema has seen major developments in the past half-century, and some of the most exciting work in contemporary film now originates there. This Companion traces its development from the mid 1890s, with particular attention to the early period when it was dominated by foreign film makers (or foreign models such as Hollywood), through the 1960s when as a genre it found its feet - the New Latin American Cinema movement - and beyond.

A Companion to Pablo Neruda: Evaluating Neruda's Poetry
ISBN: 9781855661677 / Angielski / Twarda / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Pablo Neruda was without doubt one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century but his work is extremely uneven. There is a view that there are two Nerudas, an early Romantic visionary and a later Marxist populist, who denied his earlier poetic self. By focussing on the poet's apprenticeship, and by looking closely at how Neruda created his poetic persona within his poems, this Companion tries to establish what should survive of his massive output. By seeing his early work as self exploration through metaphor and sound, as well as through varieties of love and direct experience, the...

Representing Others in Medieval Iberian Literature
ISBN: 9781403979841 / Angielski / Twarda / 213 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book focuses on the ways exiled medieval Iberian intellectuals-Jewish, Arabic, and Christian-used canonical discourses to shape/create cultural models that "go against the grain," i.e. that differ significantly from official European and Eastern discourses. Representing Others examines how Iberian authors used the fictional go-between to reflect on their role as cultural intermediaries and to open up spaces in the dominant discourse for the variety of voices that characterizes medieval Iberian culture. Representing Others explores the processes of identity formation in a...

On Black Men
ISBN: 9780748610167 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mutilated, dying or dead, black men have a role to play in the psychic life of culture. From consumer dreams to media fantasies, from sensual intimacy to outpourings of murderous violence, there is a persistant imagining of what black men must be; a demand that black men perform a script - become interchangeable with the uncanny, deeply unsettling projections of culture.

Transvestism, Masculinity, and Latin American Literature: Genders Share Flesh
ISBN: 9780312294403 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is about transvestism and the performance of gender in Latin American literature and culture. Ben. Sifuentes-Jauregui explores the figure of the transvestite and his/her relation to the body through a series of canonical Latin American texts. By analyzing works by Alejo Carpentier, Jose Donoso, Severo Sarduy and Manuel Puig (author of Kiss of the Spiderwoma n), alongside critical works in gender studies and queer theory, Sifuentes-Jauregui shows how transvestism operates not only to destabilize, but often to affirm sexual, gender, national and political identities."

ISBN: 9780822342946 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the 1980s Chicana writers including Gloria AnzaldUa, CherrIe Moraga, Sandra Cisneros, Ana Castillo, and Alma Luz Villanueva have reworked iconic Mexican cultural symbols such as mother earth goddesses and La Llorona (the Wailing Woman of Mexican folklore), re-imagining them as powerful female figures.

Blake wondered how everyday Mexican American women would characterize their own lives in relation to the writers' radical reconfigurations of female sexuality and gender...

One Island, Many Voices: Conversations with Cuban-American Writers
ISBN: 9780816528066 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cuban-American writers have been studied primarily within the context of Latino literature as a whole. Seeing a need to distinguish and define this unique literary perspective, Eduardo del Rio selected twelve important well-known authors and conducted interviews. He chose writers who were born in Cuba but have lived in the United States for a significant amount of time and whose works include themes he considers elemental to Cuban-American literature: identity, duality, memory, and exile. But rather than a cohesive, homogeneous group, these conversations unveiled a kaleidoscope of...

Indice Onomástico, Toponímico Y Bibliográfico de Las Cartas de Jesuitas, 1634-1648

La exactitud y la precision de las noticias recogidas por los Jesuitas en estas cartas han sido elogiadas por historiadores de la talla de Gregorio Maranon y Pascual de Gayangos. Hace 16 anos Crosby compilo este Indice para su propia utilidad al anotar una serie de 28 cartas desconocidas de Quevedo, redactadas en la carcel. Como se trata de un periodo importantisimo en la historia de Europa, y puede ser de gran utilidad a otros investigadores, Crosby decidio publicarlo para ofrecerles acceso a las 3.451 paginas de los siete tomos impresos de la correspondencia de los Jesuitas espanoles a...
