This is an extensive listing of almost everything published about the fourteenth century Spanish "Libro de buen amor" by Juan Ruiz, Archpriest of Hita. It is essentially the same as the online bibliography at http: //my-lba.com but it also contains a history of this project starting in the 1970's and a listing of other bibliographies on this work of literature. In addition, it can be used in conjunction with the e-book version (which has a search engine) "A Bibliography for the Book of Good Love, Third Edition" found at Lulu.com.
Mucho antes de que los hombres inventasen la escritura, y por supuesto mucho antes aún de la modernización de la imprenta, los relatos y las canciones de tradición oral alimentaban esa necesidad tan humana que llamamos cultura y que tan bien logra satisfacer la literatura. Aquella literatura de tradición oral ha tenido desde siempre en la niñez a uno de sus principales aliados, ya fuese como emisores, como receptores, o simplemente porque estaban por allí, a los pies de sus mayores… Esa voz infantil de la memoria de los pueblos ha sido el tema de investigación y encuentro de unas jornadas iberoamericanas que nacieron en 2007 en el seno de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, de la ...
Das Narrativ der Textstadt «Buenos Paris Aires» stellt ein wirklichkeits-, identitäts- und kollektivstiftendes Erzählmuster in argentinischen und französischen Stadttexten unterschiedlicher Gattungen und Medien dar, welches die Studie erstmals erforscht. Vor dem Hintergrund der über 200-jährigen französisch-argentinischen Geschichte geht es zunächst um die Entstehung und Entwicklung des Narrativs (Präfiguration). Darüber hinaus werden am Beispiel der Textstadt Buenos Paris Aires die Eigenschaften transkultureller Stadttexte sowie die Formen und Funktionen ihrer Textstädte aufgezeigt (Konfiguration). Weiterhin stellt sich die Frage, inwiefern die fiktiven Textstädte auf die realen Städte und Kulturen zurückwirken (Refiguration). Das Narrativ der Textstadt Buenos Paris Aires reist als travelling narrative zwischen den Kulturräumen und trägt maßgeblich dazu bei, die französisch-argentinischen Beziehungen sowie die Identität und das Gedächtnis der beteiligten Kulturgemeinschaften zu verstehen, die sich mit dem Narrativ der Textstadt als imaginierte Erzähl- und Erinnerungsgemeinschaften konsolidieren.
Magicians, necromancers and astrologers are assiduous characters in the European golden age theatre. This book deals with dramatic characters who act as physiognomists or palm readers in the fictional world and analyses the fictionalisation of physiognomic lore as a practice of divination in early modern Romance theatre from Pietro Aretino and Giordano Bruno to Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca and Thomas Corneille.
Georgi Dimitrov (1882–1949) was a high-ranking Bulgarian and Soviet official, one of the most prominent leaders of the international Communist movement and a trusted member of Stalin’s inner circle. Accused by the Nazis of setting the Reichstag fire in 1933, he successfully defended himself at the Leipzig Trial and thereby became an international symbol of resistance to Nazism. Stalin appointed him head of the Communist International (Comintern) in 1935, and he held this position until the Comintern’s dissolution in 1943. After the end of the Second World War, Dimitrov returned to Bulgaria and became its first Communist premier. During the years between 1933 and his death in 1949, Dimi...
Spanish Marxism Versus Soviet Communism is the first historical study of the P.O.U.M. to appear in English. Drawing from his multi-volume work on the subject, which was published in Spanish and Catalan, Victor Alba has collaborated with Stephen Schwartz to produce a condensed and amplified study that is far more than a translation. Outside Spain, the political movement known as the Workers Party of Marxist Unification (Partido Obrero de Unificacion Marxist or P.O.U.M.) is chiefly known as the revolutionary group with which George Orwell fought during the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s. The events in which the P.O.U.M. found itself at the center of conflict between Iberian revolutionaries and...
Cryopreservation has proven to be an important tool for the storage and conservation of plant genetic resources. This book is a unique resource for plant scientists, providing more than 100 ready-to-use cryopreservation protocols for plant types from algae and bryophytes to a range of flowering plants. It includes techniques for diverse plant parts such as dormant buds, pollen, and apical meristems and for cell types such as suspension and callus cultures.
The information overload produced by the printing press and the new forms of the structuring of knowledge are echoed in fictional works. The essays assembled in this book study the textualization of problematic forms of knowledge in medieval and early modern Spanish literature. Literary Works like the Libro buen amor, La Lozana Andaluza, or the Guzmán de Alfarache are read against the backdrop of scientific developments of their times.
Most histories of the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) have examined major leaders or well-established political and social groups to explore class, gender, and ideological struggles. The war in Spain was marked by momentous conflicts between democracy and dictatorship, Communism and fascism, anarchism and authoritarianism, and Catholicism and anticlericalism that still provoke our fascination. In Republic of Egos, Michael Seidman focuses instead on the personal and individual experiences of the common men and women who were actors in a struggle that defined a generation and helped to shape our world. By examining the roles of anonymous individuals, families, and small groups who fought for t...
