Social Computing: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications
Uncovers the growing and expanding phenomenon of human behavior, social constructs, and communication in online environments.
Latin America and Existentialism
Latin America and Existentialism is a preliminary intellectual history, prioritising literature and contextualising Latin American philosophical contributions from the 1860s to the late 1930s, decades that coincide with the canon’s foundational years. This study takes a Pan-American approach to move the critical focus away from the River Plate, a region that has received some critical attention. In doing so, it focuses on existentially-neglected writers such as Brazil’s Machado de Assis and Graciliano Ramos, José Asunción Silva from Colombia, Cuba’s Enrique Labrador Ruiz, and the Chilean María Luisa Bombal. Underappreciated Latin American philosophical voices and existentialism’s canonical perspectives allow the author to discuss the many problems concerning the experiencing ‘I’ of these authors, and to consider such existential themes as ethical vacuity, forlornness, the crisis of insufficiency, the conundrum of choice, and the enigma of authentic being. The concentration on Latin America’s existentially-hued interest in the human condition is an invitation to the reader to reconsider the peripheral status in the existentialism canon.

The Angle of Horror
From Cristina Fernández Cubas, Spain's award-winning master of the short story, comes a collection of unsettling, thought-provoking, and often hilarious stories, The Angle of Horror. A socially awkward twenty-something who transforms from Jekyll to Hyde by playing the tuba; a miserly curmudgeon whose ultimate act of generosity as well as his final breath are snuffed out by a seemingly innocent grandson; a young collegian who suffers a nightmare of shadows and slants, then discovers his waking world is also horribly askew; a lonely Spaniard living abroad who seeks familiarity in a Spanish specialty shop but only finds true belonging while obsessively stalking the proprietor. These are but a few of the "angles" that Fernández Cubas constructs in these four twisted tales: "Helicon," "Grandfather’s Legacy," "The Angle of Horror," and "The Flower of Spain." Presented in critical edition and translation for the first time, these acclaimed Spanish tales are featured alongside their English translation, with historical contextualization and critical commentary by scholars Jessica A. Folkart and Michelle Geoffrion-Vinci.

Unzuverlässiges Erzählen in den romanischen Literaturen
Innerhalb der Erzählforschung nimmt die Thematik des unzuverlässigen Erzählens eine zentrale Rolle ein. Doch wann genau wird eigentlich «unzuverlässig» erzählt? Ausgehend von der Frühen Neuzeit über die europäische Aufklärung zur modernen und postmodernen Literatur umfassen die Beiträge dieses Sammelbands in breit angelegter diachroner Perspektive eine große historische Zeitspanne unzuverlässigen Erzählens und decken dabei zugleich ein kulturell breites Spektrum von Spanien und Frankreich über Lateinamerika bis Afrika ab. Dabei setzen sie sich kritisch mit der aktuellen Forschung zu unzuverlässigem Erzählen auseinander, prüfen sie anhand ausgewählter Beispiele aus romanis...

Educación literaria en las aulas: propuestas para actuar
Este libro deriva de un proyecto de investigación, coordinado desde la Universidad de Granada, que durante tres años ha explorado el panorama actual de la presencia de la literatura en aulas de Educación Infantil, Primaria y Secundaria. Los datos muestran que las actividades tradicionales (resúmenes escritos, sobre todo) siguen teniendo más peso del que los tiempos demandan, y que la selección del corpus de lecturas está falta de criterios consensuados y de ser plasmada en itinerarios lectores que consideren aspectos como el equilibrio entre los distintos géneros discursivos, la graduación progresiva de la dificultad de los textos o el tratamiento de temas que ayuden a construir los valores de la convivencia democrática. Los resultados de investigación han dado lugar a reflexiones sobre las necesidades en la formación del profesorado a este respecto, así como a propuestas didácticas, de las cuales en esta obra se ofrecen algunas con la intención de que sirvan de referencia para ir incorporando un tratamiento de la literatura más acorde con lo que establece el más reciente concepto de educación literaria.
