Revisiones posmodernas del gótico en la literatura y las artes visuales

Autor: José María Mesa Villa , Ana González-rivas Fernández , Antonio José Miralles Pérez

Número de Páginas: 228

Durante siglos, la narrativa gótica ha fascinado e inquietado al público a partes iguales, resolviendo misterios, explorando los traumas de sus protagonistas, enfrentándolos a lo monstruoso, o transportándolos a escenarios tan hermosos como amenazadores. Estos elementos, no obstante, no acaban en sí mismos: lo que nos incomoda, estremece o aterroriza también nos hace partícipes de una valiosa reflexión donde se abordan temas clave para la existencia humana, desde las dinámicas del poder, lo engañoso de las apariencias o los peligros que entraña un desarrollo científico-tecnológico sin referentes éticos. Este volumen recoge doce estudios de caso que abordan las transformaciones del género gótico en obras contemporáneas de ámbitos como el cine (Tim Burton, Guillermo del Toro, David Lowery), la literatura (Carmen Martín Gaite, Iris Murdoch), la novela gráfica (Manifest Destiny) o la ficción televisiva (Westworld, American Horror Story, Black Mirror, C.S.I.). Desde una perspectiva interdisciplinar y multi-perspectivista, examinaremos el diálogo que se establece entre una selección de obras producidas en las últimas décadas y clásicos como Edgar Allan Poe,...

Barba Azul

Autor: Charles Perrault

Número de Páginas: 80

Charles Perrault, basado tal vez en una historia verdadera, escribe el cuento de Barba Azul, un hombre dotado de una maldad suprema, quien se casa con una joven aparentemente ingenua, a la cual le tiende una trampa, al darle una llave con la explícita advertencia de que no la usara. Perrault hace referencia en este cuento a una práctica que sigue realizándose en nuestro mundo actual: la violencia doméstica, la violencia contra las mujeres, la cual debe ser erradicada ya, so pena de seguir arrastrando ese atavismo, en detrimento de todos nosotros.

Autor: Francisco De Quevedo , Alfonso Rey

Alfonso Rey's critical edition encompasses the one hundred and ten sonnets, one silva, and one epistle in tercetoswhich make up this group; he rigorously elucidates problems of textual criticism and transmission, and reveals the thematic and stylist homogeneity of the collection. Second edition, completely revised and significantly expanded. ALFONSO REY is Professor of Spanish Literature at the University of Santiago de Compostela.

Autor: John Curran

Número de Páginas: 568

Una fascinante exploración del contenido de los 73 cuadernos de notas de Agatha Christie recientemente descubiertos, que incluyen ilustraciones, extractos eliminados y dos novelas inéditas de Poirot. Cuando Agatha Christie falleció en 1976 se había convertido en la escritora más popular del mundo. Con unas ventas billonarias en todo el mundo y publicada en más de 100 países, había conseguido lo imposible: publicar más de un libro al año desde la década de 1920, y todos ellos éxitos de ventas. Tras la muerte de la hija de Agatha, Rosalind, a finales de 2004, se reveló un extraordinario legado. Entre sus objetos personales de la residencia familiar de Greenway se desenterraron los cuadernos privados de Agatha Christie, 73 volúmenes escritos a mano que habían permanecido en gran parte ignorados, probablemente debido a que la inconfundible caligrafía de Agatha era muy dificultosa de leer. Pero cuando el archivero John Curran comenzó a descifrar los cuadernos, se hizo evidente la magnitud de este tesoro escondido... Este libro abre la tapa del mayor secreto de Agatha Christie: cómo sus anotaciones, listados y borradores se convirtieron en los exitosos libros, obras de ...

Maria Amparo Ruiz de Burton

Autor: Amelia Mar�a De La Luz Montes , Anne E. Goldman

Número de Páginas: 326

Since the recent republication of her novel The Squatter and the Don, Mar�a Amparo Ruiz de Burton (1832?95) has become a key figure in the recovery of nineteenth-century Mexican American literature. An aristocratic Californiana, she championed the rights of Mexican Americans in novels, plays, and letters. Her 1885 novel called attention to the illegal appropriation of Mexican land by the United States government, and she critiqued the political mores of America after the Civil War in light of the Mexican-American war. Her keen assessment of corporate capitalism at the end of the nineteenth century, frank acknowledgment of feminine desire, and deft insights about economic realities and class relations were unique among her American peers. Using Ruiz de Burton?s work to analyze the critical schism conventionally imposed on nineteenth-century literary culture in America, the essays in this collection also draw connections between her work and the contemporary Chicana and Chicano canons. At once richly historical and critically nuanced, these essays appraise a politically complex Mexican American writer alternately celebrated as marginalized and censured for her identification with...
