Este libro es una invitación a un viaje de ida y vuelta: un viaje de la literatura a la escuela y de la escuela a la literatura. Un viaje desde los textos literarios a los contextos escolares. Un viaje en cuyas páginas se habla de la escuela en la literatura, sí, pero también de qué hacer con la literatura en la escuela. En este libro conviven escritores y escritoras -que nos hablan de su memoria escolar y nos ofrecen sus recuerdos literarios de niñez y mocedad- con especialistas en didáctica de la literatura y enseñantes que nos sugieren algunos rumbos por los que puede transitar el afán pedagógico de educar en el aprecio y en el disfrute de la experiencia literaria en estos inicios del siglo xxi y en el contexto de una educación obligatoria sometida a menudo a la fascinación de otras ficciones y de otros relatos.
Slave Portraiture in the Atlantic World is the first book to focus on the individualized portrayal of enslaved people from the time of Europe's full engagement with plantation slavery in the late sixteenth century to its final official abolition in Brazil in 1888. While this period saw the emergence of portraiture as a major field of representation in Western art, 'slave' and 'portraiture' as categories appear to be mutually exclusive. On the one hand, the logic of chattel slavery sought to render the slave's body as an instrument for production, as the site of a non-subject. Portraiture, on the contrary, privileged the face as the primary visual matrix for the representation of a distinct individuality. Essays address this apparent paradox of 'slave portraits' from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives, probing the historical conditions that made the creation of such rare and enigmatic objects possible and exploring their implications for a more complex understanding of power relations under slavery.
