Publicación del Núcleo Milenio de Arte, Performatividad y Activismo (nmapa.cl), con el apoyo de Editorial OsoLiebre, que reúne una selección de expresiones artísticas y culturales a través de fotografías, acompañadas de manifiestos textuales y visuales, que han plasmado más de cien personas a un año de la revuelta social de octubre de 2019 en Chile.
El presente volumen recoge una panorámica completa de la problemática que se plantea entre los derechos de los creadores y los titulares de los soportes a que dichas obras se incorporan. Dicotomía que resulta de la diferenciación entre el corpus mysticum y el corpus mechanicum en la que toda creación se exterioriza. La obra se inicia con la contribución de la profesora Caridad del Carmen Valdés Díaz, de la Universidad de La Habana, en torno a cómo las obras del espíritu se manifiestan a través de su continente y cómo se pueden diversificar las propiedades existentes en los mismos. Seguidamente, el Profesor de Derecho Civil de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid Luis Antonio Angu...
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.
"This is the fullest and fairest of the half-dozen books on Rimbaud in English. No single volume so complete exists even in French."--Roger Shattuck (The New York Times)
From ancient Egypt through the nineteenth century, Sexual Personae explores the provocative connections between art and pagan ritual; between Emily Dickinson and the Marquis de Sade; between Lord Byron and Elvis Presley. It ultimately challenges the cultural assumptions of both conservatives and traditional liberals. 47 photographs.
From Freud to Babbitt, from Animal Farm to Sartre to the Great Society, from the Theory of Relativity to counterculture to Kosovo, The Modern Mind is encyclopedic, covering the major writers, artists, scientists, and philosophers who produced the ideas by which we live. Peter Watson has produced a fluent and engaging narrative of the intellectual tradition of the twentieth century, and the men and women who created it.
The show crept into town late one dark October night to the eerie whine of a calliope. In the terrifying days that followed, everything changed... Two boys stumbled onto the first of the secrets - the nightmare merry-go-round that produced the grisly turnabout of human beings. But not until they actually became part of the dance of death did they discover the final mystery of all...
Poetry. Translated by K.T. Billey. CHINTUNGO: LA HISTORIA DE ALGUIEN M�S is a paradox from the outset. Over layers of history and story, "Alguien m�s" translates both to "someone more" and "someone else"--CHINTUNGO is the story of a boy turned man turned father, refracted through the poems of his daughter. Soledad Marambio's second book of poetry examines the facts, photos, and unknowable gaps in memory and history, tracing one family's movement from the coast of Chile to Pinochet's Santiago. Social and political change fold into mule- drawn trains and honeymoons in Europe, barefoot boys and VHS novelties. Marambio uses her father's photographs as occasions to investigate the act of record-making and the evidence itself, knowing all the while that what is not seen is at least as vital as the images we're left with. Hints and scenes are circled with careful resolve, resulting in a timeline both intimate and collective, sensitive to the switches that make the lights turn on, the screen get fuzzy, and the heart beat.
At first glance, all is still and quiet in the woods. But look closely through three coloured glasses to discover hidden secrets. As if by magic, each glass shows animals and plants coming to life. This product complies with the essential requirements of the relevant European health, safety and environmental protection legislation.
Translated by Paul Olchvary Before disappearing into a Nazi concentration camp in 1944, Pap was acclaimed as one of Hungary's finest writers. In this first English translation of his intense 1937 novel about a young Jewish boy's crisis of faith, this realistic and powerful work may at last claim the modern masterpiece status it so richly deserves. 'Its main merit is that of the superb quality of its language and of its psychic and even spiritual insights... The finest translation into English of any Hungarian book I know' - John Lukacs
