Después de haber gozado una exitosa carrera en el campo de la pedagogía critica, Edel Romay finalmente puede dedicar toda su atención a algo que el siempre deseó hacer - Publicar sus manuscritos, que son muchos. Y este manuscrito aquí transformado en libro, nos habla de una ficción verdadera de ciertos recuerdos editados. No muy lejos de lo que Mario Vargas Llosa nos dice: La memoria es el punto de partida de la fantasía." Así pues, la narrativa breve aquí reunida nos expone a contemplar el ayer como un sueño. Algo así; como ese encuentro con la ausencia, que algunos escritores experimentan, cuando se adentran al cosmos de una hoja de papel en blanco, en el actual progresivo mundo digital. Sin embargo, el autor aun sigue usando el clásico lápiz y papel en blanco para sus borradores. Indudablemente, ese "ayer" que alguna vez fue "hoy" está suspendido en los laberintos de la memoria. Después de todo, ésta narrativa se inscribe en la premisa de que "La realidad solo existe en el lenguaje." Porque la realidad de esta obra se manifiesta; sí tú, la continúas leyendo... ¡Ves! Hay más de una lectura que te ofrece.

Genre: Political Science
ISBN: 9780300083149

This fascinating book examines the particular importance of cities in Spanish and Hispanic-American culture as well as the different meanings that artists and cartographers invested in their depiction of New and Old Wold cities and towns. Kagan maintains that cities are both built human structures and human communities, and that representations of the urban form reflect both points of view. He discusses the peculiar character of Spain's empire of towns; the history and development of the cityscape as an independent artistic genre, both in Europe and the Americas; the interaction between European and native mapping traditions; differences between European maps of urban America and those produced by local residents, whether native or creole; and the urban iconography of four different New World towns. Lavishly illustrated with a variety of maps, pictures, and plans, many reproduced here for the first time, this interdisciplinary study will be of interest to general readers and to specialists in art history, cartography, history, urbanism, and related fields.

ISBN: 9780838753354

This book takes a probing look at how Spanish poets of the twentieth century read objects of visual art, write poems that utilize the discursive strategy known as ekphrasis, and how, in turn, they are read by those texts. As a result of their reading practices, the artistic works "read" by the poets are inscribed in the poets' own texts, and in a variety of ways. This analysis sheds light on the poets' own distinctive stance toward many primary issues, such as textuality, representation, language, power, ideology, literature, and art.

Liliana Wilson’s art of resistance and protest, dissidence and dreams, consistently calls attention to injustice. Wilson belongs to a group of Chilean artists who were intimately shaped by the political turmoil and repression in Chile in the 1970s and 1980s and who have become self-exiled artists working outside of Chile but who are still tied to the political period and to its issues and concerns. From a working class family that struggled financially, Wilson nonetheless was able to study law, which facilitated her successful immigration to the United States in 1977. She moved to Texas and in Austin found a cultural oasis that permitted her art to blossom. Now, after some thirty years of artistic work in Texas, she is recognized as a major Latina artist, whose influence extends beyond US borders. A crusader for justice and against oppression, she paints and draws in various media and has become an inspiration for younger artists concerned with not only political repression and inequality but also individual fear and despair. Ofrenda: Liliana Wilson’s Art of Dissidence and Dreams highlights some of Wilson’s most representative works, accompanied by biographical background and scholarly interpretation.
