Teaching American Literature in Spanish Universities by Carme Manuel Cuenca Pdf

Un dels aspectes més valuosos d'aquest llibre és que comença enllaçant, a través dels dos primers articles, l'educació universitària amb el seu nivell immediatament anterior: l'escola secundària; una connexió que sovint s'oblida amb seriosos resultats per a tots dos. En aquest sentit, Benito Camacho Martín, l'autor d'un dels articles, realitza una anàlisi lúcida i en certa manera dogmàtic sobre el declivi de l'ensenyament de literatura a les escoles de secundària, tant en hores dedicades com en coneixements adquirits. Els altres articles, alguns en anglès i uns altres en castellà, tracten diferents aspectes de l'ensenyament de literatura nord-americana, amb una èmfasi manifesta en materials del segle XX i, sobretot, en la literatura afro-americana; de fet, el llibre resultarà particularment útil per als professors d'això últim.

Uno de los aspectos más valiosos de este libro es que comienza enlazando, a través de los dos primeros artículos, la educación universitaria con su nivel inmediatamente anterior: la escuela de secundaria; una conexión que a menudo se olvida con serios resultados para ambos. En este sentido, Benito Camacho Martín, el autor de uno de los artículos, realiza un análisis lúcido y en cierto modo dogmático sobre el declive de la enseñanza de literatura en las escuelas de secundaria, tanto en horas dedicadas como en conocimientos adquiridos. Los otros artículos –algunos en inglés y otros en castellano– tratan distintos aspectos de la enseñanza de literatura norteamericana, con un énfasis manifiesto en materiales del siglo XX y, sobre todo, en la literatura afro-americana; de hecho, el libro resultará particularmente útil para los profesores de esto último

African American Women's Literature in Spain by Sandra Llopart Babot Pdf

This volume brings forward a descriptive approach to the translation and reception of African American women’s literature in Spain. Drawing from a multidisciplinary theoretical and methodological framework, it traces the translation history of literature produced by African American women, seeking to uncover changing strategies in translation policies as well as shifts in interests in the target context, and it examines the topicality of this cohort of authors as frames of reference for Spanish critics and reviewers. Likewise, the reception of the source literature in the Spanish context is described by reconstructing the values that underlie judgements in different reception sources. Finally, this book addresses the specific problem of the translation of Black English into Spanish. More precisely, it pays attention to the ideological and the ethical implications of translation choices and the effect of the latter on the reception of literary texts.

The Poetry and Poetics of Gerald Vizenor by Deborah L. Madsen Pdf

The first book devoted exclusively to the poetry and literary aesthetics of one of Native America's most accomplished writers, this collection of essays brings together detailed critical analyses of single texts and individual poetry collections from diverse theoretical perspectives, along with comparative discussions of Vizenor's related works. Contributors discuss Vizenor's philosophy of poetic expression, his innovations in diverse poetic genres, and the dynamic interrelationships between Vizenor's poetry and his prose writings. Throughout his poetic career Vizenor has returned to common tropes, themes, and structures. Indeed, it is difficult to distinguish clearly his work in poetry from his prose, fiction, and drama. The essays gathered in this collection offer powerful evidence of the continuing influence of Anishinaabe dream songs and the haiku form in Vizenor's novels, stories, and theoretical essays; this influence is most obvious at the level of grammatical structure and imagistic composition but can also be discerned in terms of themes and issues to which Vizenor continues to return.

Critical Approaches to American Working-Class Literature by Michelle Tokarczyk Pdf

This book is one of the first collections on a neglected field in American literature: that written by and about the working-class. Examining literature from the 1850s to the present, contributors use a wide variety of critical approaches, expanding readers’ understanding of the critical lenses that can be applied to working-class literature. Drawing upon theories of media studies, postcolonial studies, cultural geography, and masculinity studies, the essays consider slave narratives, contemporary poetry and fiction, Depression-era newspaper plays, and ethnic American literature. Depicting the ways that working-class writers render the lives, the volume explores the question of what difference class makes, and how it intersects with gender, race, ethnicity, and geographical location.

Contemporary American Fiction in the European Classroom by Laurence W. Mazzeno,Sue Norton Pdf

This book offers insight into the ways students enrolled in European classrooms in higher education come to understand American experience through its literary fiction, which for decades has been a key component of English department offerings and American Studies curricula across the continent and in Great Britain and Ireland. The essays provide an understanding of how post-World War II American writers, some already elevated to ‘canonical status’ and some not, are represented in European university classrooms and why they have been chosen for inclusion in coursework. The book will be of interest to scholars and teachers of American literature and American studies, and to students in American literature and American studies courses.

Sacred Femininity and the Politics of Affect in African American Women's Fiction by Vicent Cucarella Ramón Pdf

This book presents the way in which African American women writers (Hannah Crafts, Zora Neale Hurston and Toni Morrison) have followed the spiritual endeavor of black Christianity as created by early nineteenth-century spiritual narratives to construct a sacred reading of the black female self. The sacred femininity that puts the ethics and aesthetics of African American women at the center of a certain mode of (African) Americanness relies on a view of spirituality that joins women ontologically and validates affective modes of representation as an innovative means to obtain social and personal empowerment.

Literary Chance by Gerald Vizenor Pdf

Gerald Vizenor és l’autor indi nord-americà més important d’aquests moments i el que més obres ha publicat. Poeta, assagista, novel·lista, periodista, professor, activista compromés i crític aferrissat de la política racial discriminatòria nord-americana, ha dedicat i continua dedicant la seua vida a estudiar, explorar i redefinir la història passada i present dels nadius nord-americans en la que una vegada fou la seua terra. Autor prolífic –amb més de trenta títols publicats– i extraordinàriament innovador, ha rebut nombrosos premis i reconeixements. El tret que distingeix la seua producció literària és la unicitat de temes i motius que la recorren amb un estil profundament personal que fon prosa, poesia i assaig sota un denominador comú: el d’un llenguatge on les fronteres entre gèneres desapareixen i donen pas a una literatura única que ben bé es podria encunyar com a vizenoriana. Literary Chance: Essays on Native American Survivance recull quinze assajos en els quals l’autor aprofundeix en com el llenguatge ha creat la imatge del que és l’indi nord-americà; un simulacre que Vizenor tracta de desfer amb un nou vocabulari que pose de manifest aquesta invenció i representació des de la simulació.

American Quaker Romances by Carolina Fernández Rodríguez Pdf

Quaker characters have peopled many an American literary work—most notably, "Uncle Tom’s Cabin"—as Quakerism has been historically associated with progressive attitudes and the advancement of social justice. With the rise in recent years of the Christian romance market, dominated by American Evangelical companies, there has been a renewed interest in fictional Quakers. In the historical Quaker romances analyzed in this book, Quaker heroines often devote time to spiritual considerations, advocate the sanctity of marriage and promote traditional family values. However, their concern with social justice also leads them to engage in subversive behavior and to question the status quo, as illustrated by heroines who are active on the Underground Railroad or are seen organizing the Seneca Falls convention. Though relatively liberal in terms of gender, Quaker romances are considerably less progressive when it comes to race relations. Thus, they reflect America’s conflicted relationship with its history of race and gender abuse, and the country’s tendency to both resist and advocate social change. Ultimately, Quaker romances reinforce the myth of America as a White and Christian nation, here embodied by the Quaker heroine, the all-powerful savior who rescues Native Americans, African Americans and Jews while conquering the hero’s heart.

Walter Mosley's Detective Novels: by Agustín Reyes Torres Pdf

Basat en la perspectiva de la identitat, la consciència i la subjectivitat dels estudiosos negres com Stuart Hall, Bell Hooks, Cornel West, Henry Louis Gates, Jr i W. I. B. Du Bois, al costat de l’enfocament postcolonial de crítics com Bill Ashcroft, Gareth Griffiths, Helen Tiffin i Homi Bhabha entre d’altres, aquest llibre proporciona el marc teòric necessari per a analitzar les novel·les d’Easy Rawlins escrites per Walter Mosley. L’autor s’apropia de les convencions de la novel·la detectivesca per tal de representar la societat americana dels cinquanta i seixanta des d’una perspectiva marginal. La subjectivitat d’Easy Rawlins està determinada pel seu paper com a detectiu, la seva consciència postcolonial com a home negre que ha crescut en una societat dominada pels blancs i, per la seua inclinació i defensa d’una forta cultura afroamericana.

Four Books, One Latino Life by Ignacio F. Rodeño Iturriaga Pdf

Acclaimed by many as one of the most gifted essayists and stylists in American letters these last few decades, Richard Rodriguez has left an indelible imprint on the tradition of autobiographical writing of the nation. Rodeño’s study of the four installments of Rodriguez’s self-writing offers an insightful and perspicacious analysis of the evolution and the most controversial elements in this Chicano writer’s production so far. Delving deeply into issues of racial and ethnic identity, sexual orientation, religious background, various types of hybridity, and different forms of socio-cultural adaptation, this book presents all kinds of incisive observations about the contested space(s) that “minority” self-writers are often pushed to occupy in the American tradition of the genre.

Eugene O'Neill and American Society by Ivonne Shafer Pdf

En su duodécimo libro, Yvonne Shafer se centra una vez más en Eugene O'Neill. Su libro anterior, 'Performing O'Neill', presentaba información fascinante sobre los actores (James Earl jones, Jason Robards, etc.) que crearon sus papeles. 'Eugene O'Neill and American Society' se aparta del análisis biográfico familiar de las obras hacia aspectos como su actitud antibélica, su interacción con los afroamericanos, su sorprendente amor por los musicales y su caracterización de mujer. Shafer que ha participado en el mundo del teatro como actriz, directora, crítica y erudita, ha impartido clases y conferencias en lugares como China, Noruega y Bélgica. Su representación de Eugene O'Neil On Stage ha deleitado al público de Alemania, Estados Unidos y la Universitat de València entre otros lugares de España.
