Narratives of Resistance

Resumen del Libro

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.

Koerner's minutely researched interpretations of the work of the field's founders and key transitional figures. At the cusp of the 21st century, some of the best known scholars in the field explore how these methodological shifts have been and continue to be played out in historical Romance, Germanic and Indo-European linguistics, as well as in work...

Cómo se escribe un guion

Hay muchos manuales, escritos por grandes teóricos, que nos enseñan cómo debemos escribir un guion. Yo he leído varios de esos libros y me han ayudado a formarme como guionista y como profesor de guion, pero nada me ha servido tanto como escribir. Todos esos conceptos teóricos, tan bien explicados en los manuales, no son nada si no sabemos llevarlos a la práctica. Es como la jugada ensayada, sobre la pizarra todo sale. Frente al ordenador o el papel, que son nuestros campos de juego, es otra cosa. Por tanto, no es suficiente que me cuenten cómo se hace, necesito ver la jugada grabada,...
