Narratives of Resistance

Resumen del Libro

Libro Narratives of Resistance

The articles included in this collection cover a wide range of literatures and topics, but most of them address the ways in which ethnic writers create themselves in opposition and resistance to the mainstream. These narratives of opposition and resistance do not equate protest narratives but represent a consciously subversive effort. There is agency and creativity in the confrontation, for the majority of the these narratives are not only demystifying an old world and order but creating a new one; there narratives are not reproducing as much as producing and forging culture and literature. The articles we presente resist not only the politics of traditional canon formation but the politics of cultural nationalism as well; they challenge the margins as well as the center. With this revisionist agenda, the aim or this collection is to invite readers to further their rethinking of American and Caribbean literatures.

Gauguin

Libro Gauguin

Paul Gauguin fue primero un marino y luego un exitoso corredor de bolsa en París. En 1874 comenzó a pintar los fines de semana, como pasatiempo. Nueve años después, tras la caída de la bolsa de valores, se sintió lo bastante confiado en su habilidad para ganarse la vida pintando, que renunció a su puesto y se dedicó a la pintura de tiempo completo. Siguiendo el ejemplo de Cézanne, Gauguin pintó naturalezas muertas desde el principio de su vida artística. Incluso poseía una naturaleza muerta de Cézanne, que aparece en el cuadro de Gauguin Retrato de Marie Lagadu. El año de 1891...

El anillo fulgurante

Libro El anillo fulgurante

A rich man had a garden in which he had planted pear trees sprung from seeds taken from Eden. If eaten, these pears were said to have rejuvenating properties. Since he never had the opportunity to sample his pears -- because the fruit was always stolen from the bough -- he charged his children with finding the thief. But only his youngest will undertake the task and find the enchanted dove.
