El viaje sin héroe del cine colombiano

El viaje sin héroe del cine colombiano

Autor: Jerónimo León Rivera Betancour

Número de Páginas: 136

En este libro, el autor sugiere que una de las principales marcas de identidad del cine colombiano (y buena parte del latinoamericano) es la conexión entre acción y realidad, y cómo, ante una realidad caótica de valores invertidos, los personajes de las historias se ven limitados a actuar en un contexto que castiga la heroicidad. Este texto busca ser referente para otros estudios que en el futuro se realicen sobre el cine colombiano o sobre cinematografías con condiciones industriales similares, en el entendido de que conocer las representaciones audiovisuales de una nación puede ayudarnos mucho en el conocimiento de su realidad, pero la narrativa no puede desligarse del contexto de la producción. Cuando la relación entre la acción y la realidad es tan estrecha como en el cine colombiano, estudiar el cine es acercarse a la esencia de los acontecimientos y su impacto en el imaginario colectivo nacional.

Colombie

Colombie

Autor: Jean-michel Marlaud , Yveline Vildeuil

Número de Páginas: 162

Des forêts tropicales de la côte Pacifique aux immensités herbeuses des Llanos, du littoral caraïbe à la forêt amazonienne, la Colombie présente une incroyable variété naturelle - tant par sa biodiversité que par sa richesse humaine. Paysage et histoire sont liés de manière indissoluble : le randonneur marchant vers la Ciudad Perdidad au coeur de la Sierra Nevada croise les silhouettes blanches des Kogis ; Mompox somnolant sur les berges du fleuve Magdalena n'a pas changé depuis l'époque où l'or et les émeraudes attendaient l'arrivée des galions ; à San Basilio de Palenque, les nègres marrons réfugiés ont profondément influencé la langue et la musique ; les paysages de la zone du café, eux, ont été modelés à l'époque moderne. En mêlant sites emblématiques et grands épisodes de l'histoire, en allant au-delà des lieux communs et des images toutes faites, cet ouvrage rend hommage à la beauté de la fascinante Colombie.

Narrativas e imágenes cinematográficas

Narrativas e imágenes cinematográficas

Autor: Manuel Silva Rodríguez

Número de Páginas: 172

Ya que el cine de ficción nos posibilita rastrear discursos y construcciones simbólicas, nos permite reconocer narrativas e imágenes asociadas a la figuración de unos rasgos comunes, constantes o diversos de un posible "nosotros". Esta vez, en unos contextos representados por las migraciones, por las relaciones de personajes colombianos con extranjeros. Este trabajo se propone, por lo tanto, identificar, analizar e interpretar qué tipo de elementos simbólicos y narrativos aparecen asociados a los colombianos, y por extensión a Colombia, en un conjunto de ocho largometrajes de ficción realizados durante el cambio de siglo. De ahí inquietudes como las siguientes: ¿Cómo son representados personajes colombianos en algunas películas de comienzos del siglo XXI? ¿Cómo se presentan en relación con "otros" no colombianos? En una etapa de cambio de siglo, ¿cuáles narrativas de nación se pueden reconocer en este grupo de ficciones cinematográficas? No se trata de una lectura de semiótica narrativa. Metodológicamente, el abordaje se concreta en varios conceptos que en las películas se transfiguran en imágenes y actos: espacio, cuerpos, acciones y lenguaje son las claves ...

Oficios del destierro

Oficios del destierro

Autor: Marcos Fabián Herrera Muñoz

Número de Páginas: 227

En este poemario de Marcos Fabián Herrera, a través de la representación de lo insólito transcrito en oficios de artesanos minuciosos, confinados a los márgenes (equilibristas, campaneros, luthiers, pajareros, relojeros ...), los héroes se desploman irremediablemente para mutarse en ídolos caídos o en villanos atrapados entre los espejismos de los sueños. Su poesía en Oficios del destierro reafirma su fuerza en el reconocimiento de la sórdida realidad de un espacio vital en ruinas. Para ello, a decir de Blanca Varela, la voz poética le "da nombre a todas las sombras, a todos los fantasmas" a modo de viaje iniciático que atraviesa las distintas galerías del alma humana para comprender el misterio de la palabra inscrita en una encrucijada oscura y recóndita. Es sorprendente en la poesía de Herrera, esa mirada precisa de la fugacidad de la existencia como metáfora gótica del fluir del tiempo o la destrucción de lo humano, piezas condenadas a la hecatombe del individuo en ominoso tránsito. Con un lírico y pulido lenguaje, su obra poética nos acerca a un universo de palabras, hacia el laberinto del hombre en permanente "exilio", como parábola de un éxodo que...

Geopoéticas, memoria e imaginarios en la frontera México - Estados Unidos

Autor: Mauricio Vera Sanchez

Número de Páginas: 264

La frontera entre México y Estados Unidos es un espacio territorial de a mayor relevancia en geopolíticamente en América. Sin embargo, el objetivo de este libro es realizar una mirada de orden geopolítico a este territorio desde los imaginarios, la memoria y el arte, que complemente aquella centrada en lo militar, político, económico o migratorio, que son las maneras en que tradicionalmente se ha estudiado. Se indaga en las percepciones de los ciudadanos fronterizos que habitan en El Paso (Texas) y en Ciudad Juárez (Chihuahua), así como en diversas expresiones, y en especial sobre el muro, el rio Bravo y el desierto, como aquellos en los que se encarnan las historias cotidianas de quienes habitan en ambos lados

Border Cinema

Border Cinema

Autor: Monica Hanna , Rebecca A. Sheehan

Número de Páginas: 260

The rise of digital media and globalization’s intensification since the 1990s have significantly refigured global cinema’s form and content. The coincidence of digitalization and globalization has produced what this book helps to define and describe as a flourishing border cinema whose aesthetics reflect, construct, intervene in, denature, and reconfigure geopolitical borders. This collection demonstrates how border cinema resists contemporary border fortification processes, showing how cinematic media have functioned technologically and aesthetically to engender contemporary shifts in national and individual identities while proposing alternative conceptions of these identities to those promulgated by the often restrictive current political rhetoric and ideologies that represent a backlash to globalization.

Vida

Vida

Autor: Patricia Engel

Número de Páginas: 208

A New York Times Notable Book, an NPR Best Debut of the Year, and a PEN/Hemingway finalist. These linked stories follow Sabina as she navigates her shifting identity as a daughter of the Colombian diaspora, and struggles to find her place within and beyond the net of her strong, protective, but embattled family. In “Lucho,” Sabina’s family—already “foreigners in a town of blancos”—is shunned by the community when a relative commits an unspeakable act of violence, but she is in turn befriended by the town bad boy, who has a secret of his own. In “Desaliento,” Sabina surrounds herself with other young drifters who spend their time looking for love and then fleeing from it—until reality catches up with one of them. And in “Vida,” the urgency of Sabina’s self-imposed exile in Miami fades when she meets an enigmatic Colombian woman with a tragic past. “Vida calls to mind some of the best fiction from recent years. Like Elizabeth Strout’s Olive Kitteridge, Engel uses stories about connected characters to illuminate her main subject, in this case Sabina, who moves with her family from Bogotá, Colombia, to New Jersey. Engel brings Sabina’s family and...

Bolivia - The Pantanal & Amazon Basin

Bolivia - The Pantanal & Amazon Basin

Autor: Vivien Lougheed

Número de Páginas: 264

The Pantanal covers over 81,000 square miles of wilderness, an area larger than Greece. It is considered the world's largest wetland and is one of the richest wilderness areas on the planet. The Pantanal spreads across Bolivia, Brazil and Paraguay. During the rainy season (October through March) Rio Paraguay floods the entire savannah, transforming the area into a huge swamp. Pantanal means "swamp" in Portuguese. However, during dry season the swamps disappear and the land becomes a savannah dotted with lakes and ponds. The canals formed by the river are destinations in themselves. T.
