Hotel Balmori by Francisco Pérez Arce Pdf

Esta novela de trasfondo político, urdida con audacia, personajes bien construidos y lenguaje vivo, recorre tiempos conmovedores para conducir a un final sorprendente. En estas páginas resuenan las voces de quienes luchan por sus ideales; entre ellas la historia de una joven mujer, “de su empeño por recuperar la memoria que no es de ella sola sino de todos”.En este volumen entregamos la segunda edición de la primera parte de la trilogía Fin de siglo, un fresco que reconstruye la atmósfera del último tercio del siglo XX mexicano a partir de la sensibilidad de una generación, sus deseos, sus frustraciones y sus sueños.Son relatos de ficción pero inspirados en hechos reales: Hotel Balmori en el asesinato de Rubén Jaramillo, el movimiento del 68 y la guerra sucia de los años setenta; Septiembre en los terremotos del 85 y el drama de los desaparecidos políticos; Xalostoc en la insurgencia obrera y la corrupción gubernamental. Las tres novelas pueden leerse independientemente una de otra, no tienen una línea argumental común aunque comparten escenografías y contextos históricos.

Transpacific Literary and Cultural Connections by Jie Lu,Martín Camps Pdf

This critical interdisciplinary volume investigates modern and contemporary Asian cultural products in the non-westernized transpacific context of Asian and Latin American intellectual and cultural connections. It focuses on the Latin American intellectual, literary, and cultural influences on Asia, which have long been overshadowed by the dominance of Europe/North America-oriented discourse and by the predominance of academic research by both Asian and western intellectuals that focuses only on the West. Moving beyond the western intellectual paradigm, the volume examines how Asian literature, films, and art interact with Latin American literature and ideas to reexamine, reconsider, and re-explore issues related to the two regions' historical traumas, cultural identities, indigenous/vernacular traditions, and peripheral global-ness. The volume argues that Asian and Latin American literary and cultural endeavors are part of these regions' broader efforts to search for the forms of modernity that best fit their unique sociohistorical and sociocultural conditions.

Other Globes by Simon Ferdinand,Irene Villaescusa-Illán,Esther Peeren Pdf

This volume challenges dominant imaginations of globalization by highlighting alternative visions of the globe, world, earth, or planet that abound in cultural, social, and political practice. In the contemporary context of intensive globalization, ruthless geopolitics, and unabated environmental exploitation, these “other globes” offer paths for thinking anew the relations between people, polities, and the planet. Derived from disparate historical and cultural contexts, which include the Holy Roman Empire; late medieval Brabant; the (post)colonial Philippines; early twentieth-century Britain; contemporary Puerto Rico; occupied Palestine; postcolonial Africa and Chile; and present-day California, the past and peripheral globes analyzed in this volume reveal the variety of ways in which the global has been—and might be—imagined. As such, the fourteen contributions underline that there is no neutral, natural, or universal way of inhabiting the global.

Transcultural Nationalism in Hispano-Filipino Literature by Irene Villaescusa Illán Pdf

This book studies a selection of works of Philippine literature written in Spanish during the American occupation of the Philippines (1902-1946). It explores the place of Filipino nationalism in a selection of fiction and non-fiction texts by Spanish-speaking Filipino writers Jesús Balmori, Adelina Gurrea Monasterio, Paz Mendoza Guazón, and Antonio Abad. Taking an interdisciplinary approach that draws from Anthropology, History, Literary Studies, Cultural Analysis and World Literature, this book offers a comparative analysis of the position of these authors toward the cultural transformations that have taken place as a result of the Philippines' triple history of colonization (by Spain, the US, and Japan) while imagining an independent nation. Engaging with an untapped archive, this book is a relevant and timely contribution to the fields of both Filipino and Hispanic literary studies.
