Frases dormidas en posturas imposibles

«La poeta nos invita a caminar por la cuerda floja del acontecimiento y de la voz. Y para eso sitúa al error en el borde de lo decible. Cada línea trazada, cada imagen o singularidad semántica, cada palabra precisa, cada una de sus oscilaciones y derivas convergen en el mismo punto de fuga: las bondades del error. Y la voz manifiesta su lado más humano, no solo al combinar ternura e inteligencia, sino al definirse justamente por la vacilación, entre lo que hay y lo que siempre falta.» Carlos Castro Rincón Mostrar, confundir, equivocarse y renacer. Estar en esta habitación y a la vez no estar. Gravitar a nuestro alrededor en posturas imposibles. «Algo que nos permite darnos cuenta d...

Dietary Polyphenols

Presents recent research on metabolism and the health effects of polyphenols Consumer interest in the health benefits of many phenolic compounds found in plant foods and derivatives has grown considerably in recent years, giving rise to an increased demand for functional foods. Although preclinical and observational studies have promoted the protective properties of polyphenols for a range of chronic diseases, evidence has shown that most dietary polyphenols have little bioavailability. Once ingested, most of them are metabolized by either the intestinal enzymes or by the gut microbiota and then undergo extensive phase-II metabolism reaching significant concentrations of conjugated metabolit...

Narratives of the Unspoken in Contemporary Irish Fiction

This Open access book is a collection of essays and offers an in-depth analysis of silence as an aesthetic practice and a textual strategy which paradoxically speaks of the unspoken nature of many inconvenient hidden truths of Irish society in the work of contemporary fiction writers. The study acknowledges Ireland’s history of damaging silences and considers its legacies, but it also underscores how silence can serve as a valuable, even productive, means of expression. From a wide range of critical perspectives, the individual essays address, among other issues, the conspiracies of silence in Catholic Ireland, the silenced structural oppression of Celtic Tiger Ireland, the recovery of sil...

NEW HEROES ON SCREEN

  • Categories: Art

This book analyses the representation of new models of masculinity in US recent science fiction cinema. By examining the figure of the “new hero”, a male protagonist with visible unconventional features, it explores new ways of gender representation on screen. Lynch’s Dune (1984) and the Wachowsky brothers’ The Matrix (1999) share many traits concerning gender representation and offer the type of the androgynous hero who stands for innovative prototypes of masculinity. As a result of these films’ analysis, the book uncovers the tangible controversy in current US society about gender tolerance.
