Antígona Plástica

Autor: William Brinkman-clark

Número de Páginas: 185

Antígona plástica es una lectura de la Antígona de Sófocles a partir de una perspectiva enclavada totalmente en el siglo XXI. William Brinkman-Clark se vale de la larga tradición de estudios sobre la obra sofoclea, así como de miradas novedosas de la cosmética, las ideas feministas y el concepto de plasticidad, para proponer una visión distinta del personaje protagónico de la tragedia y la resolución de la obra dramática. A ello añade las ideas propias, que ha elaborado en otros trabajos sobre la antigüedad griega, así como el tratamiento desde las disciplinas arquitectónica y filosófica. Antígona plástica se convierte en una hebra más dentro del enorme telar de la tradición, las discusiones y la importante cantidad de interpretaciones que nos ha legado la tragedia griega, en particular la obra de Sófocles, probablemente uno de sus más relevantes exponentes. Aristóteles sentenció en su Poética que la mímesis debía evocar a los personajes mejores, y debía presentar aquello a lo que los seres humanos comunes necesitábamos imitar: héroes y heroínas trágicas. En ese sentido, Antígona es nuestra aspiración, una mujer que cambia, que se adapta, que es y ...

The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Migration

Autor: Brigid Maher , Loredana Polezzi , Rita Wilson

Número de Páginas: 573

The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Migration explores the practices and attitudes surrounding migration and translation, aiming to redefine these two terms in light of their intersections and connections. The volume adopts an interdisciplinary and transnational perspective, highlighting the broad scope of migration and translation as not only linguistic and geographical phenomena, but also cultural, social, artistic, and psychological processes. The nexus between migration and translation, the central concern of this Handbook, challenges limited conceptualisations of identity and belonging, thereby also exposing the limitations of monolingual, monocultural models of nationhood. Through a diverse range of approaches and methodologies, individual chapters investigate specific historical circumstances and illustrate the need for an intersectional approach to questions of language access and language mediation. With its range of approaches and case studies, the volume highlights the inherently political nature of translation and its potential to shape social and cultural inclusion, emphasising the crucial role of language and translation in informing professional practices,...

The Returns of Antigone

Autor: Tina Chanter , Sean D. Kirkland

Número de Páginas: 336

Examines Antigone’s influence on contemporary European, Latin American, and African political activism, arts, and literature. Despite a venerable tradition of thinkers having declared the death of tragedy, Antigone lives on. Disguised in myriad national costumes, invited to a multiplicity of international venues, inspiring any number of political protests, Antigone transmits her energy through the ages and across the continents in an astoundingly diverse set of contexts. She continues to haunt dramatists, artists, performers, and political activists all over the world. This cutting-edge, interdisciplinary collection explores how and why, with essays ranging from philosophical, literary, and political investigations to queer theory, race theory, and artistic appropriations of the play. It also establishes an international scope for its considerations by including assessments of Latin American and African appropriations of the play alongside European receptions of the play.

Arte y psicoanálisis

Autor: Miguel Gutiérrez-peláez , Beatriz García Moreno

Número de Páginas: 147

Esta obra se inscribe en el proyecto de investigación “Trauma y psicoanálisis contemporáneo” del Programa de Psicología de la Universidad del Rosario, en conjunto con psicoanalistas e investigadores de la Nueva Escuela Lacaniana, sede Bogotá y sede Caracas, y de la Asociación Mundial de Psicoanálisis. A través de la revisión de casos concretos, de artistas y de sus obras de arte, se exploró el modo singular en que un determinado sujeto puede encontrar en el arte un modo para expresar y resolver sus dificultades psicológicas y a nivel de sus vínculos con los otros. Si bien existe interés generalizado por la relación entre arte y psicoanálisis en diferentes espacios psicoanalíticos y académicos, son escasas las publicaciones y los mecanismos disponibles para profundizar en este campo de estudio. Los autores de este libro intentan hacer asequible el conocimiento derivado no solo al público especializado, sino a un público general que pueda interesarse en las temáticas trabajadas.

La paradoja punitiva

Autor: Hernández Moreno, Juan Sebastián

Número de Páginas: 242

Luego de décadas de una política de mano dura contra el delito, muchos Estados de América se enfrentan hoy a una paradoja: mientras han aumentado el uso del encarcelamiento a tal punto que el hacinamiento de sus cárceles se ha desbordado, Latinoamérica se ha convertido en el continente con las cifras más altas de homicidios en el mundo. El fracaso de maximizar el uso de la cárcel como estrategia de seguridad es evidente, tanto por los altos costos que ha generado en términos de derechos humanos y presupuestales, como por su falta de efectividad para reducir el delito. Colombia no es la excepción. Después de inversiones enormes para construir cárceles y de la declaración de dos estados de cosas inconstitucionales por la Corte Constitucional, la población reclusa sigue inmersa en condiciones de vida inhumanas, viendo sus derechos vulnerados de manera constante, generalizada y masiva. Ante esto, es urgente que el Estado reformule su política criminal y repiense el rol que la cárcel y las medidas alternativas al encarcelamiento cumplen en el sistema penal. En este libro se analiza cómo la inflación punitiva en la política criminal colombiana ha desfigurado el uso de...

Reading Continental Philosophy and the History of Thought

Autor: Christian Lotz , Antonio Calcagno

Número de Páginas: 241

This book frames the mission of the Continental Philosophy and History of Thought series at Lexington Books. International leading scholars contribute essays that explore and redefine the relationship between received arguments in contemporary Continental philosophy and various influential figures and arguments in the history of thought. By bringing Continental philosophy and the histories of thought into dialogue, editors Christian Lotz and Antonio Calcagno broaden the standard canon of what is considered Continental philosophy by including important yet understudied figures and arguments in the tradition; the chapters also deepen and contextualize significant movements and debate in the field by showing their rich historical underpinnings, thereby establishing new viewpoints in specific constituent subfields of philosophy. Reading Continental Philosophy and the History of Thought shows the growing richness of Continental philosophy via unexplored rethinking of the history of thought. The contributors expand Continental philosophy with and through the recovery of important historical developments, figures, and lines of thought.

Poética. Retórica

Autor: Aristóteles

Número de Páginas: 324

La ética aristotélica pertenece al mundo en que vivimos, es decir, no es una forma, no es ideal, se presenta en situaciones concretas y se desarrolla en busca de la felicidad a través de las virtudes. En la Poética, Aristóteles realza la belleza de la tragedia, de los versos y la música, de la mímesis y la catarsis. En cuanto a la retórica, la considera como el arte del buen decir, que permite el diálogo en un gobierno democrático para poder comunicar de la mejor manera y convencer de aquello que es considerado por el orador el bien común. La Retórica de Aristóteles en el siglo XIX y XX fue retomada por los estudios de semiología y tiene una importancia capital para el análisis del discurso. La Prof. Claudia González presenta ambas obras en una cuidada edición, con sendos estudios preliminares que facilitan al lector contemporáneo la comprensión de dos textos fundamentales de la filosofía.

Diatribas

Autor: Pedro Pablo Fuentes González

Número de Páginas: 644

Teles, philosophe grec de tendance cynique qui vecut au IIIe siecle av. J.-C., nous est connu par huit longs fragments de ses diatribes morales conserves dans l'Anthologie de Stobee. Avec Teles, le lecteur rencontre le Grec moyen du IIIe siecle qui, loin des cercles philosophiques et des discussions d'ecole, essaie de reflechir sur les problemes moraux que lui pose la vie quotidienne. Cette predication morale s'alimente de la sagesse des philosophes plus anciens, notamment les Cyniques Diogene, Crates, Metrocles, Bion, ainsi que le Megarique Stilpon, tout comme elle sait mettre a profit, en les refaconnant sans cesse, les lieux communs ou les citations de la tradition classique, mais elle n'en garde pas moins son originalite litteraire.Cette nouvelle traduction et le commentaire qui l'accompagne sont fondes sur le texte de l'edition de Hense, mais s'en distinguent par le souci de rehabiliter certains traits du langage familier et relache de Teles.

Reader in Tragedy

Autor: Marcus Nevitt , Tanya Pollard

Número de Páginas: 355

This unique anthology presents the important historical essays on tragedy, ranging from antiquity to the present, divided into historical periods and arranged chronologically. Across its span, it traces the development of theories and philosophies of tragedy, enabling readers to consider the ways in which different varieties of environmentalist, feminist, leftist and postcolonial thought have transformed the status of tragedy, and the idea of the tragic, for recent generations of artists, critics and thinkers. Students of literature and theatre will find this collection an invaluable and accessible guide to writing from Plato and Aristotle through to Freud, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and 21st century theorists. Ideas of tragedy and the tragic have been central to the understanding of culture for the past two millennia. Writers and thinkers from Plato through to Martha Nussbaum have analyzed the genre of tragedy to probe the most fundamental of questions about ethics, pleasure and responsibility in the world. Does tragedy demand that we enjoy witnessing the pain of others? Does it suggest that suffering is inevitable? Is human sexuality tragic? Is tragedy even possible in a world of...

How The Light Gets In

Autor: Mary Mcevoy

Número de Páginas: 191

Mary McEvoy, one of Ireland's best-loved actresses, lived for many years with undiagnosed depression. From the outside looking in, she was a successful, confident woman, making strides in her career, happy in her personal life. Yet, behind the scenes, there were times when she was so crippled with despair that the least she could do was to make it out of bed. Here, for the first time, Mary describes the true nightmare behind the façade, and how, since diagnosis, she has learned to cope, and deepened in wisdom through the experience. She traces the roots of her depression - a condition which, for a long time, she felt like she had no right to own, given that she experienced a happy childhood in a loving family. Yet key negative incidents in her early life would have a profound shape on what followed. She also looks at the broader question as to why depression is so prevalent today, and questions the modern obsession with perfection and youth, offering her 'least you can do' philosophy as a welcome antidote. She shares her insights into how a person can not only learn to cope with depression, but ultimately live life to its full potential - whatever that is. Bravely recounted and...

Creon's Ghost Law Justice and the Humanities

Autor: Tomain

Número de Páginas: 345

Creon's Ghost examines the enduring problem of the relationship between man's law and a "higher" law from the perspective of core humanities texts and through discussion of hotly debated contemporary legal conundrums. Today, such issues as intelligent design in school curricula, same-sex marriage, and faith-based government grants are all examples of the interaction between man's law and some other set of moral principles. As these debates are considered in this book, the author uses texts such as Antigone and Plato's Republic and pairs them with the most important jurisprudence texts of the 20th century to explore different approaches to the contemporary conflict or court ruling under consideration. Creon's Ghost demonstrates that the humanities can both illuminate our understanding of contemporary problems and that "classic" texts can be read alongside jurisprudential texts, thus enriching our understanding of and appreciation for law.

Classics in Post-Colonial Worlds

Autor: Lorna Hardwick , Carol Gillespie

Número de Páginas: 918

Classical material was traditionally used to express colonial authority, but it was also appropriated by imperial subjects to become first a means of challenging colonialism and then a rich field for creating cultural identities that blend the old and the new. Nobel prize-winners such as Derek Walcott and Seamus Heaney have rewritten classical material in their own cultural idioms while public sculpture in southern Africa draws on Greek and Roman motifs to represent histories of African resistance and liberation. These developments are explored in this collection of essays by international scholars, who debate the relationship between the culture of Greece and Rome and the changes that have followed the end of colonial empires.

The Psycho-Cultural Underpinnings of Everyday Fascism

Autor: Marcia Tiburi

Número de Páginas: 217

When the Brazilian public intellectual Marcia Tiburi published The Psycho-Cultural Underpinnings of Everyday Fascism in 2015, fascism was yet to return to the public consciousness. But Tiburi was motivated by the kind of fascism she was noticing in daily life - people who fail to practise any kind of reflection about society, betraying a pattern of everyday thought characterized by the repetition of clichés and the angry language of hatred. Three years later, Brazil elected the far-right President Jair Bolsonaro. Now available in English for the first time, this prescient work speaks to our present moment. Fascism is among us once again, evident in the collective expression of exacerbated authoritarianism and the growing hatred against difference and people marked as socially undesirable. Drawing on her own first-hand, brutal encounters, Tiburi connects ways of thinking in Brazil to what is happening around us today and introduces us to the fascist as manipulator, the distorter of other people's speech; fascist as an activist of evil on a daily basis, the one who lives by fostering racism and male-domination and is proud of it. Tiburi takes us beyond formal policies,...

Loving Immigrants in America

Autor: Daniel Campos

Número de Páginas: 283

At once narrative and reflective, Loving Immigrants in America: An Experiential Philosophy of Personal Interaction is a philosophical account of Daniel Campos's experience as a Latin American immigrant to the United States of America. A series of interrelated personal essays together convey this experience of walking or sauntering, going on road trips, reading American literature in the southern United States, playing association football (soccer or fútbol), churchgoing, and Latin dancing in the U.S. This book’s central motif is the caring saunterer, who is understood to be a person who makes him or herself at home anywhere, even as a Latino immigrant in the U.S. The narrative essays convey one immigrant’s experience seeking an affective, social, and intellectual home in a new land. The intertwined philosophical reflections lead to the recommendation of an ethic of love—resilient love—for the day-to-day interactions and long-term relations between immigrants and hosts in this country. The author’s aim is to establish an open and earnest philosophical dialogue with critical readers interested in the problems surrounding immigration in the U.S. today. He writes as an...

World Literature in Spanish

Autor: Maureen Ihrie , Salvador Oropesa

Número de Páginas: 1509

Containing roughly 850 entries about Spanish-language literature throughout the world, this expansive work provides coverage of the varied countries, ethnicities, time periods, literary movements, and genres of these writings.

All countries that produce literature in Spanish in Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Asia are represented, covering both canonical authors and emerging contemporary writers and trends. Underrepresented writings—such as texts by women writers, queer and Afro-Hispanic texts, children's literature, and works on relevant but less studied topics such as sports and nationalism—also appear.
