Arthur Miller: visiones desde el nuevo milenio

This book explores the most recent critical and theoretical approaches in the field of Chicano studies from an interdisciplinary perspective. The contributions go back to the 4th International Conference on Chicano Literature which took place in Sevilla in May 2004. They deal with a wide variety of topics and approach the subject from diverse viewpoints. Some examine specific literary texts by major Chicano authors from feminist, comparative and close-reading approaches, others discuss ideological and cultural issues like folklore, ethnicity, identity, sexuality or stereotypes, while yet...

Cuestión de actitud Compilado por Fernando Perfetti Nuestra actitud frente a los acontecimientos, es lo que nos define como personas, como sociedad y como pueblo. Si mi actitud es positiva, todo lo que me rodea será positivo. Por el contrario, si mi actitud es negativa, negativo pues serán los resultados que obtenga.

Se editan aquí completas las composiciones de uno de los mayores poetas europeos de todos los tiempos. Admirado por Dante (quien llegó a romper la unidad idiomática de la Divina comedia para hacer hablar a Daniel en provenzal en su encuentro en el Purgatorio) y venerado por Petrarca–lo que hizo vivir su poderoso influjo durante los siglos xv, xvi y xvii–, la presencia del trovador ha llegado hasta nuestros días con fuerza inusitada (baste recordar a Ezra Pound, Jaime Gil de Biedma o Joan Brossa). El profesor Riquer nos presenta una muy cuidadosa edición original, con traducción...

First published in 1900 Uruguay, Ariel is Latin America's most famous essay on esthetic and philosophical sensibility, as well as its most discussed treatise on hemispheric relations. Though Rodó protested the interpretation, his allegorical conflict between Ariel, the lover of beauty and truth, and Caliban, the evil spirit of materialism and positivism, has come to be regarded as a metaphor for the conflicts and cultural differences between Latin America and the United States. Generations of statesmen, intellectuals, and literary figures have been formed by this book, either in championing...
