The Cinema of Sara Gómez

Autor: Susan Lord , María Caridad Cumaná

Número de Páginas: 441

Throughout the 1960s until her untimely death in 1974, Afro-Cuban filmmaker Sara Gómez engaged directly and courageously with the social, political, economic, and cultural transformations promised by the Cuban Revolution. Gómez directed numerous documentary films in 10 prolific years. She also made De cierta manera (One way or another), her only feature-length film. Her films navigate complex experiences of social class, race, and gender by reframing revolutionary citizenship, cultural memory, and political value. Not only have her inventive strategies become foundational to new Cuban cinema and feminist film culture, but they also continue to inspire media artists today who deal with issues of identity and difference. The Cinema of Sara Gómez assembles history, criticism, biography, methodology, and theory of Gómez's work in scholarly writing; interviews with friends and collaborators; the film script of De cierta manera; and a detailed and complete filmography. Featuring striking images, this anthology reorients how we tell Cuban cinema history and how we think about the intersections of race, gender, and revolution. By addressing Gómez's entire body of work, The Cinema of...

Latin American Dramatists since 1945

Autor: Tony A. Harvell

Número de Páginas: 513

This resource compiles and locates biographical and bibliographical information of over 700 prominent Latin American dramatists of the late 20th century and their plays in 20 different countries, and it lists over 7,000 plays arranged by country and by author. Author biographies consist of year and place of birth, education, careers, other literary genres, and awards and prizes. The bibliographic listings include various editions of plays, followed by references to the plays in anthologies, collections, or periodicals. Latin American theater is rooted in the rich historical traditions of both the indigenous cultures of the region and those of Spain. In the second half of the 20th century, immigration to Latin America from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia also proved influential, and theater became a means of social protest. The military and political dictatorships of the late 20th century often censored plays and persecuted playwrights. This resource compiles and locates biographical and bibliographical information about over 700 prominent Latin American dramatists and their plays in 20 different countries, and it lists over 7,000 plays arranged by country and by author....

Autor: Albert James Arnold , Julio Rodríguez-luis , J. Michael Dash

Número de Páginas: 599

This history for the first time charts the literature of the entire Caribbean, the islands as well as continental littoral, as one cultural region. It breaks new ground in establishing a common grid for reading literatures that have been kept separate by their linguistic frontiers. Readers will have access to the best current scholarship on the evolution of popular and literate cultures in the various regions since their earliest emergence."The History of Literature in the Caribbean" brings together the most distinguished team of literary Caribbeanists ever assembled, cutting across ideological commitments and critical methods. Differences in point of view between individual contributors are left intact here as the sign of the colonial inheritance of the region. Introductions and conclusions to the various sections of the History written by the respective subeditors, set them in proper perspective. The unique synoptic aspect of the History lies in its comprehensiveness and its range, which are unequaled."Contributors" A. James Arnold, Julio Rodriguez-Luis, H.

Socialist Ensembles

Autor: Randy Martin

Número de Páginas: 368

Most discussions of socialist development within nation-states focus exclusively on the state, leaving civil society out of the picture. By looking into the realm of theater in two socialist countries, the author broadens this view.

By Heart/de Memoria

Autor: María De Los Angeles Torres

Número de Páginas: 216

In this moving account of the Cuban Revolution and its aftermath, eleven women who lived through it as children or young adults recall the events of the last forty years. In Torres's words, This book, which began in Miami, looking toward the island, ends on the island as it gazes toward the exile community. These poets, artists and scholars represent each post-revolution exile generation. Some left Cuba in the Peter Pan airlift, some left afterward, some never left at all. Others - like the editor - left as children only to return and leave again, disillusioned with both the exile community and with Castro's island. Together they testify to the powerful intersections of memory, politics, nation, and exile.

Stanislavsky in the World

Autor: Jonathan Pitches , Stefan Aquilina

Número de Páginas: 481

Stanislavsky in the World is an ambitious and ground-breaking work charting a fascinating story of the global dissemination and transformation of Stanislavsky's practices. Case studies written by local experts, historians and practitioners are brought together to introduce the reader to new routes of Stanislavskian transmission across the continents of Europe, Asia, Africa, Australasia and South (Latin) America. Such a diverse set of stories moves radically beyond linear understandings of transmission to embrace questions of transformation, translation, hybridisation, appropriation and resistance. This important work not only makes a significant contribution to Stanislavsky studies but also to recent research on theatre and interculturalism, theatre and globalisation, theatre and (post)colonialism and to the wider critical turn in performer training historiographies. This is a unique examination of Stanislavsky's work presenting a richly diverse range of examples and an international perspective on Stanislavsky's impact that has never been attempted before.

Dark Prisms

Autor: Robert Lima

Número de Páginas: 294

The mythological, folkloric, and religious beliefs of Western culture have resulted in a long and ongoing history of esoteric themes in theatre from the Middle Ages to the present in Spain and the America. Now Robert Lima, a noted comparatist, brings to bear on this material his wide knowledge of the world of the occult. Lima defines the terms "occult" and "occultism" broadly to embrace the many ways in which humans have sought to fathom a secret knowledge held to be accessible only through such supernatural agencies as alchemy, angelology, asceticism, astrology, demonolatry, divination, ecstasy, magic, necromancy, possession, Santeria, séances, voudoun, and witchcraft. The dramatic works covered range from medieval materializations of Hell to the Golden Age plays of Lope de vega, Tirso de Molina, and Calderón de la Barca, to modern stage works by Valle-Inclán, García Lorca, Casona, Miras, and a number of significant Afro-Brazilian and Caribbean dramatists. The concluding comprehensive bibliography of the drama of the occult is invaluable.

Literature and Quest

Autor: Christine Arkinstall

Número de Páginas: 164

What does the word "quest" conjure up? A journey in the hope of fulfillment, an exploration of identities, questions, the nature of research itself, or the darker side of quest in the form of conquest, colonisation and displacement? These are some of the threads taken up and developed in this collection of essays by established and emerging scholars. Germaine Greer, Italo Calvino, Umberto Eco, Serge Doubrovsky, A. S. Byatt, Novalis, Melville, Valéry, Beckett, Stanislao Nievo, Victor Segalen, Sibilla Aleramo, Dacia Maraini, Defoe, Tournier, Coetzee, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Cintio Vitier, Domingo del Monte, Ramón de Palma, Pablo Armando Fernández, Hubert Aquin, Anne Hébert , Homer, Proust, Balzac and Robbe-Grillet provide the literary voices that invite these scholars to embark on their own quests into subjects as diverse as the relationships between texts, authors and readers, the initiatic journey, spirituality and enlightenment, female autobiography and identity, oppression, imperialism and postcolonial discourses, not to mention the history of the quest itself. The result is a rich tapestry of thought-provoking insights into the inexhaustible connections between...

Autor: Leopoldo Fornés Bonavía

Familia y exilio en la dramaturgia de la Gran Cuba

Autor: Abel González Melo

Número de Páginas: 332

El presente libro analiza los vínculos entre familia y exilio en la dramaturgia de la Gran Cuba, entendida como la generada tanto dentro como fuera de la isla, desde el triunfo de la Revolución en 1959 hasta la actualidad. Con base en el método dramatológico, que permite entender esta creación como un sistema, la evolución se observa a través de seis relevantes obras: Los siete contra Tebas de Antón Arrufat, El súper de Iván Acosta, Sanguivin en Union City de Manuel Martín Jr., Nadie se va del todo de Pedro R. Monge Rafuls, Cartas de Cuba de María Irene Fornés y Retratos de Lilian Susel Zaldívar de los Reyes. El minucioso análisis de cada texto se acompaña de una revisión de las circunstancias de publicación y estreno, con énfasis en los enfoques de la crítica y el mapa histórico, político y cultural. El estudio se detiene en las tendencias y disidencias estructurales, toda vez que la forma en que la fábula se quiebra y diverge en diferentes líneas de acción ilustra el fenómeno de ruptura del eje individuo-familia-sociedad: esa fractura atraviesa y determina el tratamiento dramático de la escritura, el tiempo, el espacio y los personajes. La relación...

The Cinema of Cuba

Autor: Ann Marie Stock , Guy Baron , Antonio Álvarez Pitaluga

Número de Páginas: 362

Contemporary Cuba is opening up to the rest of the world. Its colonial past and the Communist revolution have left a lasting imprint on society, yet there is a tangible sense of rapid change which is reflected in the island's national cinema. New screen technologies and digital distribution media have supported the efficacy and global reach of Cuban filmmakers whose work, somewhat in lieu of adequate distribution and traditional screening facilities in Cuba itself, is often disseminated via 'flash' (USB memory sticks).Channelling an energetic DIY attitude through grassroots movements and ad-hoc resourcefulness, the new filmmakers of Cuba have inspired the editors of this book to embrace their contagious enthusiasm through essays on authentic Cuban cinema. Whilst the book provides a comprehensive overview of the history behind current practices, it also moves beyond this to examine key case studies as well as 'snapshots' of individuals working within the industry today. Chapters celebrate the shared creativity as well as diversity of Cuban cinema, including both productions of the Cuban Film Institute's (ICAIC) as well as those from the industry margins. The films discussed...

El trabajo presentado como Tesis Doctoral se propone un examen pormenorizado de la historia del Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de La Habana y su colección de retratos de la pintura española del siglo XIX. Esta institución atesora una importante colección de pintura europea de ese período y, particularmente la pintura española decimonónica destaca por el gran volumen y el valor de sus piezas.

Diccionario ejemplificado del español de Cuba. Tomo II

Autor: Antonia María Tristá Pérez , Gisela Cárdenas Molina

Número de Páginas: 751

La presente obra tiene como antecedente directo el Diccionario del español de Cuba (2000) confeccionado por las mismas autoras en la Universidad de Augsburgo, Alemania, que se basa en los fundamentos lingüísticos y la concepción metodológica del proyecto Nuevo diccionario de americanismos, elaborado por los profesores Dr. Günther Haensch y Dr. Reinhold Werner. Acorde con su motivación primera, el objetivo del DEEC es actualizar la descripción del español cubano y contextualizar los usos registrados. Después de terminado el Diccionario del español de Cuba se imponía, por consiguiente, la elaboración de una obra que no solamente incluyera vocablos y acepciones no registradas en el diccionario contrastivo, sino también que registrara los usos con su contextualización, cuestión de suma importancia para el usuario que necesite entender la realidad cubana.
