El experto en cine y literatura de terror, Jesús Diamantino, nos invita a leer los espeluznantes cuentos de los más connotados autores del género de terror de habla hispana, que se reúnen en este libro para homenajear e inspirarse en el clásico de Mary Shelley, “Frankenstein o el moderno Prometeo”, a propósito del aniversario número 200 de su publicación.
Los ensayos que componen el presente volumen tienen como fin alumbrar zonas todavía poco exploradas en la teoría y la crítica de la autoficción desde nuevos enfoques y nuevas metodologías.
With its brooding noblewoman, classically beautiful nun, and neurotic child - who is the grandson of the former and the nephew of the latter - "The Nun" becomes a stage as it represents the past and the future of the family, the past and future of Spain. "Moors and Christians" explores, humorously and wisely, the effects of greed, the nefarious nature of covetousness. Alarcon subtitled "The Tall Woman" a "tale of fear," and his protagonist's hair-raising brushes with danger and evil remind one of the writings of E.T.A. Hoffmann and Edgar Allan Poe. Don Jorge de Cordoba, the Captain "Poison" of Captain Poison, has always seen himself as an unabashed misogynist, but when his life is saved by a courageous young woman, fate conspires to reverse his outlook.
This volume examines the blending of fact and fiction in a series of cultural artefacts by post-dictatorship writers and artists in Argentina, many of them children of disappeared or persecuted parents. Jordana Blejmar argues that these works, which emerged after the turn of the millennium, pay testament to a new cultural formation of memory characterised by the use of autofiction and playful aesthetics. She focuses on a range of practitioners, including Laura Alcoba, Lola Arias, Félix Bruzzone, Albertina Carri, María Giuffra, Victoria Grigera Dupuy, Mariana Eva Perez, Lucila Quieto, and Ernesto Semán, who look towards each other's works across boundaries of genre and register as part of the way they address the legacies of the 1976-1983 dictatorship. Approaching these works not as second-hand or adoptive memories but as memories in their own right, Blejmar invites us to recognise the subversive power of self-figuration, play and humour when dealing with trauma.
Includes entries for maps and atlases.
Based on twenty case studies of universities worldwide, and on a survey administered to leaders in 101 universities, this open access book shows that, amidst the significant challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, universities found ways to engage with schools to support them in sustaining educational opportunity. In doing so, they generated considerable innovation, which reinforced the integration of the research and outreach functions of the university. The evidence suggests that universities are indeed open systems, in interaction with their environment, able to discover changes that can influence them and to change in response to those changes. They are also able, in the success of t...
Frente a los enfoques temáticos y de corte formal, este ensayo trae a primera plana un aspecto crucial para una teoría de la autoficción latinoamericana. Se trata del significado estético y cultural del nuevo género narrativo en América Latina, es decir, de su dimensión histórica que permite entenderlo como una manera distinta de interpretar y evaluar la realidad contemporánea y la tradición literaria. Aquí se parte de la premisa según la cual la autoficción, en sus expresiones genuinas, es uno de los caminos centrales de renovación en el mapa aún por trazar de la narrativa latinoamericana contemporánea. Después de un estudio dedicado a la obra de Fernando Vallejo, en éste ...
La cadena de estudios del Centro de Investigación de Semiótica Literaria, Teatral y Nuevas Tecnologías (SELITEN@T), dirigido por el Dr. José Romera Castillo, sobre estos ámbitos artísticos es ya muy numerosa. De los veinticinco Seminarios Internacionales, celebrados hasta el momento, dieciséis de ellos se han dedicado al estudio del teatro, a través de diversas producciones, tanto textuales como espectaculares, desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX hasta nuestros días. Toca ahora examinar y valorar el teatro, a través de tres vertientes (la artística, la histórica y la cultura), en estos últimos tiempos. Tras un condensado panorama de la vigorosa trayectoria científica del SELITE...
