Carmina Burana (II)
La visión sombría de la Edad Media, marcada por el temor al infierno, la mortificación del cuerpo, los estragos de la peste, el fin del mundo anunciado por el Apocalipsis…, ha ido cambiando poco a poco gracias en buena parte a la difusión de los Carmina Burana. Efectivamente, La alegría vital que mostraban sus poemas amatorios, su exaltación de la vida, del sexo y del amor supuso un cambio de visión del mundo medieval. Tras la publicación de los poemas de amor de los Carmina Burana en esta misma colección, se imponía publicar también los poemas satírico-morales y los lúdicos y de taberna, para de esta manera contribuir a ampliar la perspectiva vital de los tiempos medievales, al contemplar el ansia de gozo que muestran los poetas por disfrutar del vino, del juego, de la amistad, al igual que las críticas, a veces brutales, al orden establecido, sea este religioso o civil, que se mostraba corrupto, hostil y ajeno a sus problemas y necesidades.
Identity Mediations in Latin American Cinema and Beyond
The appearance of sound film boosted entertainment circuits around the world, drawing cultural cartographies that forged images of spaces, nations and regions. By the late 1920s and early ‘30s, film played a key role in the configuration of national and regional cultural identities in incipient mass markets. Over the course of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, this transmedia logic not only went unthreatened, but also intensified with the arrival of new media and the development of new technologies. In this respect, this book strikes a dialogue between analyses that reflect the flows and transits of music, films and artists, mainly in the Ibero-American space, although it also features essays on Soviet and Asian cinema, with a view to exploring the processes of configuration of cultural identities. As such, this work views national borders as flexible spaces that permit an exploration of the appearance of transversal relations that are part of broader networks of circulation, as well as economic, social and political models beyond the domestic sphere.
Copla, Ideología y Poder .
Nacida antes de la instauración de la II República, la popularidad de la copla a lo largo de los siglos XX y XXI permite realizar una radiografía cultural del país a partir de este singular producto artístico. En permanente contacto con otras industrias como la radio, el cine o la televisión, aquello que comúnmente comprendemos como copla no solo atiende a cuestiones musicales, sino también a la iconografía, la representación en la esfera pública de sus principales intérpretes (un genuino star system) y otros aspectos relacionados directamente con la ideología y la convulsa historia política de nuestro pasado más reciente.Copla, ideología y poder ofrece una mirada multidiscip...
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

The Mosquito Bite Author
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.
