Alemania: 1945-2012

Editada por primera vez en España en 1923 y precedida de un prólogo de Ortega, esta obra, abundante en datos, teorías, reflexiones, etc., plantea la hipótesis de que Occidente no lo es todo, y que se acaba. Para Spengler la Historia está habitada de seres/culturas que nacen, crecen, se multiplican y mueren. Quizá la lectura ayude a responder alguna de las cuestiones que Ortega plantea en su texto: «¿De qué modo puede sucumbir una cultura que no sea por propia detención...?». Una obra magistral que ha trascendido al tiempo.

Frente a una era plagada de imagenes via satelite, esta obra busca atraer la mirada de un circulo de lectores mas amplio sobre las herencias culturales y recursos escenicos alternativos de Asia y africa. Las creencias, los ritos y las tradiciones de paises aparentemente tan lejanos como Cuba, Brasil, Mexico, Japon, Indonesia, China e India, representan no solo una rica pluralidad de las manifestaciones artisticas, sino ademas significa la posibilidad de generar reacciones en cadena en cuanto a encuentros interculturales se refiere.

This study offers a profound study of Arrufat's play, using most recent critical trends concerning the performance aspect of the drama. It examines the genre of the drama and its relationship to the phenomenon of the Cuban Revolution, Arrufat as a Cuban playwright of the 60s and his re-writing of the Greek theme of the fratricidal fight in Aeschylus' Seven Against Thebes. Also contains a recent interview with Arrufat in which he describes the social circumstances surrounding the play and some of his classical re-writing techniques.
