"Por demasiado tiempo, para muchos de nosotros, sobre todo en Occidente, el mundo ha sido demasiado humano. Tenemos la necesidad de aprender de otros entornos basados en relaciones distintas a la división entre naturaleza y cultura, para así forjar imaginarios que nos ayuden en la tarea de estar compenetrados con el mundo” (Harriet Hawkins)
“Evidencias. Las otras dramaturgias” tiene por objetivo ser un documento que posicione la voz dramática de mujeres del siglo XX, visibilizando su creación y aportando a la escena teatral chilena y latinoamericana desde su variedad temática y estilística, reflejado en la diversidad de mundos e imaginarios que habitan los personajes al interior de las obras, pero también, a la construcción de una genealogía del quehacer de las mujeres desde una perspectiva de género. La presente antología busca mermar el sesgo en materia dramática a partir de la selección de doce obras que componen este primer tomo, invitándonos a revisitar otros contextos al indagar en las historias, personaje...
Este libro contiene dos cuentos de la escritora uruguaya Sofía Rosa: Reversaglio y Nigredo. Ambos cuentos son narrados por niñas y tienen como temas centrales el hogar, la casa, la presencia/ausencia de la madre y la muerte. Escritos en prosa poética, estos relatos nos introducen en los mundos interiores de la infancia y nos permiten observar la vida y experiencias desde la mirada ingenua de sus protagonistas, donde la verdad, la mentira y la fantasía muchas veces no se distinguen. Es un texto lóbrego, oscuro y hermoso.
«Perteneció a la estirpe de estos contempladores de mirada libre y liberadora, con una conciencia exaltada de lo real, que no puede sino significar una exaltada conciencia del propio ser, una pasión… La pasión de ver fue para él una pasión de ser», nos advierte en el prólogo de este pionero libro de reflexión ecológica, el filósofo Jorge Millas. Luis Oyarzún (1920-1972), fue un apasionado de la Tierra, un poeta y pensador «al aire libre». Quienes lo conocieron y leyeron, dan fe de su sentimiento fraternal con el cosmos, de vivir como una criatura entre criaturas, siempre prójimo y nunca amo absoluto de la realidad y sus seres. Publicado póstumamente en 1973, Defensa de la T...

On the fraught bonds between daughters and their fathers, women and the patriarchywomen patriarchy In this beguiling, incisive book, critically acclaimed writer Katherine Angel examines the place of fathers in contemporary culture with her characteristic mix of boldness and nuance, asking how the mixture of love and hatred we feel toward our fathers—and patriarchal father figures—can be turned into a relationship that is generative rather than destructive. Moving deftly between psychoanalysis from Freud to Winnicott, cultural visions of fathering from King Lear to Ivanka Trump, and issues from incest to MeToo, Angel probes the fraught bond of daughters and fathers, women and the patriarchal regime. What, she asks, is this discomfiting space of love and hate—and how are we to reckon with both fealty and rebellion? As in her earlier book Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again, Angel proves herself to be one of the most perceptive feminist writers at work today.
Auguries of Innocence is the first book of poetry from Patti Smith in more than a decade. It marks a major accomplishment from a poet and performer who has inscribed her vision of our world in powerful anthems, ballads, and lyrics. In this intimate and searing collection of poems, Smith joins in that great tradition of troubadours, journeymen, wordsmiths, and artists who respond to the world around them in fresh and original language. Her influences are eclectic and striking: Blake, Rimbaud, Picasso, Arbus, and Johnny Appleseed. Smith is an American original; her poems are oracles for our times.
Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Spanish by Daniel Borzutzky. "I sang the song of the old concrete sheds. It was filled with hundreds of niches, one over the other. There is a country in each one; they're like boys, they're dead." In this landmark poem, written at the height of the Pinochet dictatorship, major Chilean poet Raul Zurita protests with ferocious invention the extinguishment of a generation and the brutalization of a nation. Of the role of poetry and of his own treatment by the military under this regime, Zurita has said, "You see, the only thing that told me that I wasn't crazy, that I wasn't living in a nightmare, was this file of poems, and then when they threw them into the sea, then I understood exactly what was happening." This elegy refuses to be an elegy, refuses to let the Disappeared disappear.
