Arco Libros - La Muralla, S.L. Retórica clásica y teoría literaria moderna
Book SynopsisEl propósito de esta obra no es otro más que el de presentar los objetivos y métodos de la retórica clásica para proceder seguidamente a considerar hasta qué punto la moderna teoría de la literatura sigue manteniendo el mismo rumbo en una ya muy larga singladura que comenzó -dejando ahora aparte la primitiva retórica política- en los primeros siglos antes de Cristo con la labor de los filólogos alejandrinos y los primeros gramáticos estoicos y no estoicos. Fue en esos siglos cuando quedó clarísimo que un individuo culto debía hablar su propia lengua con pulcritud y precisión y que para alcanzar tan deseable objetivo no le vendría mal estudiar con esmero los modelos espléndidos de un pasado literariamente glorioso y tratar no sólo de imitarles el estilo, sino también de entender cómo utilizando nada más que lengua se había logrado producir joyas lingüísticas y literarias merecedoras de sempiterno estudio y recordación.

1914 el año que cambió la historia
Book Synopsis1914 ha solido concitar la atención de los historiadores por marcar el inicio de la Gran Guerra. Sin embargo, aquel año tuvieron lugar otros muchos acontecimientos, reflejo de las profundas transformaciones que, a nivel mundial, pusieron fin al largo siglo XIX y die-ron comienzo al corto siglo XX -por decirlo con la feliz expresión de Eric Hobsbawm-. Sucesos como el ataque a la Venus del espejo por parte de Mary Richardson, el discurso de Ortega y Gasset "Vieja y nueva política", la toma de Veracruz por los marines estadounidenses, el estreno de El ruiseñor de Igor Stravinsky, los asesinatos de Francisco Fernando y de Jean Jaurès, la apertura del canal de Panamá o la llegada al pontificado de Benedicto XV ponían de relieve los cambios que estaban aconteciendo en todos los órdenes -político, económico, social, cultural, relaciones internacionales, etc.-.Aquel año fue así testigo del apogeo de la reivindicación sufragista, de la presencia de los intelectuales en la vida pública, de la emergencia de Estados Unidos como gran potencia, de la eclosión de la vanguardia artística, de la irrupción del nacionalismo etnicista de tono violento, de la pugna entre revolucionarios y posibilistas en el seno del movimiento obrero o del malestar de la fe religiosa con la modernidad. Acontecimientos todos ellos que hacen de 1914 mucho más que el año de la Gran Guerra: fue el año que cambió la historia.Este libro se fija en todo ello. Con ritmo vibrante y de la mano magistral de Antonio López Vega, el lector se introducirá en el ambiente de 1914 a través de acontecimientos singulares que cambiaron para siempre la historia de la humanidad.

Humanum Academic Press Enlightening the Mystery of Man: Gaudium et spes
Book SynopsisThe Second Vatican Council represents a decisive milestone in the relationship between the Church and the world. The pastoral constitution Gaudium et spes proclaims a new spirit of missionary dialogue, openness, and mutual enrichment. The Church endeavored to recognize the genuine “triumphs” of the modern age, and, bearing in mind also the serious “ambiguities” and “tragedies” that characterize our modern culture, sought to present anew the profound beauty of Christian existence.What then does it mean for the Church to be “open” to the modern world? How can the world be receptive to the novel life the Church offers? How does the Christian navigate this dialogue? The essays gathered in this volume explore the theological anthropology of Gaudium et spes for answers to these questions. They strive to elucidate that only by the light of God’s infinite love incarnate in Jesus Christ does the human person come to perceive the mystery of his own being and the world come to realize itself; only then do the social realities of economy, work, and family take on human form.

New York University Press Unbecoming Blackness The Diaspora Cultures of
Book SynopsisUncovers an important, otherwise unrecognized century-long archive of literature and performance that reveals Cuban America as a space of overlapping Cuban and African diasporic experiences.Trade ReviewUnbecoming Blacknessis a stunning tour de force: it serves as a call for those critically engaged in the African diaspora work with a focus on Latin America to return to the archive and to study the wealth of information that remains there, unnoticed....Lopez forces readers to rethink notions of blackness so that these ideas are specific to place, yet also to consider the fluidity of these discourses in relation to physical movement and their reestablishment in new locations. His study also demands fluent interdisciplinarity: Lopez analyzes texts, photographs, sound recordings, and film, all of which challenge readers to expand beyond their comfort zone as scholars. This text is an extraordinary addition to Cuban studies, Cuban American studies, US Latina/o and Latin American studies, American studies, African American studies, and African diasporic studies. -- Vanessa K. Valdes * MELUS: The Society for the Study of the Multi-Ethnic Literature of the United States *Unbecoming Blackness promises to make a transformative impact on Cuban American Literary Studies; it will certainly put López on the map as one of the fields most important and groundbreaking scholars. -- Ricardo Ortiz,author of Cultural Erotics in Cuban AmericaTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction 1 Alberto O'Farrill: A Negrito in Harlem 2 Re/Citing Eusebia Cosme3 Supplementary Careers, Boricua Identifications4 Around 1979: Mariel, McDuffie, and the Afterlives of Antonio 5 Cosa de Blancos: Cuban American Whiteness and the Afro-Cuban-Occupied House Conclusion: "Write the Word Black Twice"Notes Index About the Author

Second, being itself (ipsum esse) is gift only because the fullness proper to pure act is first of all an absolutely free donation in itself and to itself before being donation to another (creation).

Literatura e historia en el mundo clásico
Book SynopsisRememorar episodios antiguos que han marcado el devenir histórico y figuras del pasado que han sido modelo de pensadores, literatos e historiadores a lo largo de la historia no es solo un acto de justicia y de agrado colectivo; es también, o más aún si cabe, un estímulo para indagar en la complejidad de la mente y el comportamiento humano.Este libro es fruto del estímulo que ha supuesto la celebración a la par, dos mil quinientos y mil novecientos años después, respectivamente, de la Batalla de Salamina y de la muerte del historiador Tácito: de un evento histórico que dio pie a algunas de las obras literarias más bellas e influyentes en la literatura occidental y de un historiador de aguda visión y sensibilidad literaria que, ante todo, profundizó en la relación entre la acción política y el carácter humano.A través de las páginas de este libro, el lector podrá indagar en ese compacto tejido que crean conjuntamente los hechos históricos y la visión literaria del mundo y de la realidad.Este libro enseña que la Historia puede entenderse gracias a la visión literaria de los hechos, y la Literatura constituirse en la expresión consecuente, e incluso a veces causante, de la Historia.

Marcial Pons Ediciones de Historia, S.A. La inteligencia excntrica
Book SynopsisJohn Stuart Mill y, más recientemente, Tony Judt han apelado a la necesidad de vigor intelectual y coraje moral de las sociedades. En su espíritu, el autor, en diálogo con sus eminentes maestros y amigos, resume las preguntas de este tiempo: en el desorientado y febril mundo actual, qué lugar corresponde al Estado?, qué papel puede desempeñar el Derecho?, qué Europa puede hacer suyo el proyecto ilustrado?, cabe imaginar el mismo sin un nuevo impulso moral? A través de los maestros con los que el autor convivió, de los compañeros de generación con los que consensuó una salida a la dictadura y de los juristas alemanes en los que encontró un fundamento sólido a su búsqueda de la verdad y a su procura de la igual libertad de todos, se nos anticipa, para España y para Europa, un relato público moral, con recurso al Derecho. El mismo nos lleva, según el prologuista Antonio García Santesmases, a interrogarnos dónde están los excéntricos que piensan hoy, para nosotros, la realidad?, dónde se e

Taylor & Francis Running Rome and its Empire
Book SynopsisThis volume explores the transformation of public space and administrative activities in republican and imperial Rome through an interdisciplinary examination of the topography of power.Throughout the Roman world building projects created spaces for different civic purposes, such as hosting assemblies, holding senate meetings, the administration of justice, housing the public treasury, and the management of the city through different magistracies, offices, and even archives. These administrative spaces both open and closed characterised Roman life throughout the Republic and High Empire until the administrative and judicial transformations of the fourth century CE. This volume explores urban development and the dynamics of administrative expansion, linking them with some of the most recent archaeological discoveries. In doing so, it examines several facets of the transformation of Roman administration over this period, considering new approaches to and theories on the uses Table of ContentsIntroduction; 1.

Book SynopsisEn décadas particularmente convulsas, sea por la creciente tensión entre los poderes feudales y la corona de Castilla, por la tortuosa lucha contra el enemigo sarraceno en uno y otro confín del Mediterráneo, o por los graves cismas que dividieron a la Iglesia y alcanzaron su máxima expresión en el Concilio de Basilea, Rodrigo Sánchez de Arévalo ejerció de embajador de la corona, primero de Juan II y, a su muerte, de Enrique IV.

Peter Lang Publishing Inc Greening Media Education
Book SynopsisMedia are a powerful educational force that teaches about the relationship between humans and living systems while also physiologically impacting the environment. However, although long considered a tool for promoting critical thinking and cultural citizenship, media literacy does not adequately address environmental sustainability. Drawing on original research, Antonio López demonstrates how common media literacy practices reinforce belief systems at the root of unsustainable behaviors. By combining emerging literacies from social media, networked activism, sustainability education, critical media literacy, and digital ecopedagogy, the author offers a solutions-oriented critique and paradigm-shifting reappraisal of media education by advocating ecomedia literacy. This groundbreaking book builds on López's previous two books, Mediacology and The Media Ecosystem, by offering a cutting-edge and radical reappraisal of conventional media literacy practices. Written in accessiTrade Review«Antonio López’s ‘Greening Media Education’ combines issues of media literacy education with concerns regarding environmental education in a new synthesis that promotes green cultural citizenship, wholistic system thinking, and ecomedia literacy. This provocative synthesis brings together for the first time ecological themes that focus on media and the natural environment and pedagogical themes concerning gaining literacy in important arenas of our life about which many people do not reflect and are not literate in negotiating complex interactions with nature, technology, and other people.» (Douglas Kellner, George F. Kneller Chair in the Philosophy of Education, UCLA; Author, ‘Media Spectacle and Insurrection, 2011: From the Arab Uprisings to Occupy Everywhere’) «In ‘Greening Media Education’, Antonio López presents a deeply engaging analysis of the role of media education in the cultural commons. This essential book analyzes historical trends in media education and connects these with contemporary ecological systems in a rapidly changing environment. In the process, López provides pathways to innovation and transformative change for media educators that encourages them to think globally and act locally.» (Kathleen Tyner, The University of Texas at Austin; Author, ‘Media Literacy’ and ‘Literacy in a Digital World’) «With his new book, Antonio López has established himself as a leading thinker in the emerging field of ecomedia literacy.

To my mind, ‘Greening Media Education’, represents his most critically exact, compendious, and powerful research to date on this emergent paradigm of democratic ecopedagogy and politics.

North Atlantic Books,U.S. The Media Ecosystem: What Ecology Can Teach Us
Book SynopsisIn The Media Ecosystem, Antonio Lopez draws together the seemingly disparate realms of ecology and media studies to present a fresh and provocative interpretation of the current state of the mass media—and its potential future. Lopez explores the connections between media and the environment, arguing that just as the world''s powers have seized and exploited the physical territories and natural resources of the earth, so, too, have they colonized the "cultural commons"—the space of ideas that everyone shares. He identifies the root of the problem in the privileging of "mechanistic" thinking over ecological intelligence, which recognizes that people live in a relationship with every other living thing on the planet. In order to create a more sustainable media ecosystem—just like the preservation of organic ecosystems—we must reconnect our daily media activities to their impact on others and the environment. To become "organic media practitioners," we must become aware of the impact of media use on the environment; recognize media''s influence on our perception of time, space, and place; understand media''s interdependence with the global economy; be conscious of media''s interaction with cultural beliefs; and develop an ethical framework in order to act upon these understandings. Above all, Lopez calls for media producers and consumers alike to bring a sense of ritual and collaboration back to the process of communication, utilizing collective intelligence and supporting a new culture of participation.

Peter Lang Publishing Inc Greening Media Education
Book SynopsisMedia are a powerful educational force that teaches about the relationship between humans and living systems while also physiologically impacting the environment. However, although long considered a tool for promoting critical thinking and cultural citizenship, media literacy does not adequately address environmental sustainability. Drawing on original research, Antonio López demonstrates how common media literacy practices reinforce belief systems at the root of unsustainable behaviors. By combining emerging literacies from social media, networked activism, sustainability education, critical media literacy, and digital ecopedagogy, the author offers a solutions-oriented critique and paradigm-shifting reappraisal of media education by advocating ecomedia literacy. This groundbreaking book builds on López's previous two books, Mediacology and The Media Ecosystem, by offering a cutting-edge and radical reappraisal of conventional media literacy practices. Written in accessiTrade Review«Antonio López’s ‘Greening Media Education’ combines issues of media literacy education with concerns regarding environmental education in a new synthesis that promotes green cultural citizenship, wholistic system thinking, and ecomedia literacy. This provocative synthesis brings together for the first time ecological themes that focus on media and the natural environment and pedagogical themes concerning gaining literacy in important arenas of our life about which many people do not reflect and are not literate in negotiating complex interactions with nature, technology, and other people.» (Douglas Kellner, George F. Kneller Chair in the Philosophy of Education, UCLA; Author, ‘Media Spectacle and Insurrection, 2011: From the Arab Uprisings to Occupy Everywhere’) «In ‘Greening Media Education’, Antonio López presents a deeply engaging analysis of the role of media education in the cultural commons. This essential book analyzes historical trends in media education and connects these with contemporary ecological systems in a rapidly changing environment. In the process, López provides pathways to innovation and transformative change for media educators that encourages them to think globally and act locally.» (Kathleen Tyner, The University of Texas at Austin; Author, ‘Media Literacy’ and ‘Literacy in a Digital World’) «With his new book, Antonio López has established himself as a leading thinker in the emerging field of ecomedia literacy. His book is a must read for anyone concerned about the transformation that must be made in media education if it is contribute to an ecologically sustainable future. His insightful use of an ecological conceptual framework provides the field with the needed sense of direction that moves beyond the misconceptions of the past.» (Chet Bowers, Author, ‘The False Promises of the Digital Revolution’ and ‘In the Grip of the Past: Educational Reforms that Address What Should be Changed and What Should be Conserved ’) «As an activist-scholar working in the ‘strange’ (after Maxine Greene) intersectional curricular spaces of media and ecological literacy, Antonio López has become a crucial leader who is assisting both academics and citizens with the reimagining of sustainability education for a present moment that is now co-constituted by planetary ecocrisis and global media culture. To my mind, ‘Greening Media Education’, represents his most critically exact, compendious, and powerful research to date on this emergent paradigm of democratic ecopedagogy and politics. This is a necessary and very important work.» (Richard Kahn, Core Faculty in Education, Antioch University Los Angeles; Author, ‘Critical Pedagogy, Ecoliteracy and Planetary Crisis: The Ecopedagogy Movement ’) «‘Greening Media Education’ draws the best from the media studies cannon and takes on unelected educational powers using a well-calibrated eco-ethical compass. The author’s deep environmental commitments provide a much-needed green perspective on the practices of contemporary media literacy.» (Richard Maxwell, Chair and Professor of Department of Media Studies, Queens College-CUNY; Author, ‘Greening the Media’) «Antonio López has been at the forefront of activist media education research in recent years. In ‘Greening Media Education’ he weaves together the multiple strands of his praxis to provide a compelling vision of a more situated, sustainable and resistant pedagogy. In the era of the ‘creative economy’ and neoliberal instrumentalism, it may be crazily aspirational – but Lopez writes from the heart with profound optimism about media education for social justice.» (Julian McDougall, Associate Professor in Media«Antonio López’s ‘Greening Media Education’ combines issues of media literacy education with concerns regarding environmental education in a new synthesis that promotes green cultural citizenship, wholistic system thinking, and ecomedia literacy.

Arco Libros - La Muralla, S.L. La mitologa griega lenguaje de dioses y hombres
Book SynopsisLos Griegos, siempre ahí, grandiosos titanes y pobres mortales, imperecederos, eternos, insuflando vida generación tras generación desde hace más de dos milenios. Sus mitos ocupan por derecho propio un lugar privilegiado entre todas las facetas de la cultura occidental a las que la civilización helénica supo imprimir una huella indeleble. Descubrimos su rastro en la literatura, en el arte. Al recordar, contar y recrear las viejas y queridas historias, pese a todos los cambios, prosigue la tarea enhechizadora que ejercieron desde su lejano alumbramiento. Pero esa es tan solo una de las acepciones del vocablo ?mitología?, la otra atañe a informarse sobre su origen, desarrollo, variantes, paralelismos dentro y fuera de Grecia. Bella tarea cuyo atractivo se acrecienta con el rigor científico de quien desenmascara los errores cometidos en las múltiples interpretaciones del mito helénico, de quien se adentra en ese discurso analógico, pragmático, tradicional y político-social propio de una clase peculiar de lenguaje-pensamiento. Y lo hace a la par que se deleita con las hazañas de sus dioses, los logros de sus héroes, el semblante altivo de sus princesas, el terrible rostro de sus monstruos. Y con ellos se adentra en el Olimpo, en el insondable dominio del Mar, en el Hades o reino de los muertos. Quien tal camino sigue, de la mano de tamaños guías comienza a atisbar la razón de su grandeza, la sinrazón de sus miserias, el misterio que aún hoy rodea algunos de sus ritos y ceremonias. Y con ellos vive, revive y permite que le hablen, quedo al oído, en su propia lengua, la de los antiguos griegos

Ediciones Irreverentes Soledad de otoño infancia de silencio
Book SynopsisI Premio Internacional Vivendia de Relato. Obra intimista, de un gran contenido poético, refleja la dureza de la vida en tierras de Castilla, sus males atávicos, sus enfermedades del cuerpo y del alma, y lo hace con rigor, pero con un lirismo que lo humaniza. Dice las cosas con sencillez y pone las situaciones delante del lector sin demasiados artificios, sin engaños ni concesiones al sentimentalismo, son retratos de momentos instantáneos cercanos a la poesía y reflejan una técnica literaria depurada. Antonio López Alonso afirmó al recibir el Premio Internacional Vivendia de Relatos que "Imposible es transformar la realidad en sueños, pero yo he partido de hechos reales y los he convertido en sueños. Son 40 historias intimistas, ambientadas en Castilla-León, que parten de hechos cotidianos y que he pretendido trascender, convertir Castilla en un lugar imaginario, con una imaginería propia". El Jurado del Premio Internacional Vivendia de Relato afirmó que López Alonso es uno de los auto

Arco Libros - La Muralla, S.L. La retórica en la publicidad v
Book SynopsisEl propósito de este libro es estudiar la retoricidad del mensaje publicitario y poner de manifiesto la amplísima serie de posibilidades de colaboración mutua que ofrecen la retórica tradicional y la moderna publicística. Hay quienes, exagerando, afirman que la publicística es la retórica de nuestros días. Pero, de lo que no cabe duda es de que la multisecular tradición retórica resulta utilísima a la moderna ciencia de la comunicación social y muy en concreto a la politología y la publicística. La vieja imagen del orador se ha trocado hoy en día en la nueva del comunicador, pero aún a éste no le sobra en absoluto el conocimiento de la teoría y las reglas de la retórica tradicional aderezada por la lingüística moderna. Adoptando la perspectiva de la lingüística pragmática, se pasa revista a las coincidencias y discrepancias entre los respectivos resultados del acto de habla retórico y del acto de habla publicístico. Se establecen así los contornos, en parte comparables y en parte distintos, del discurso retórico y del mensaje publicitario. Seguidamente, se estudian con detenimiento los elementos retóricos que son específicos del acto de habla publicitario y del mensaje de la publicidad y se explican las causas de esas sus especiales preferencias por determinadas estrategias retóricas. De este modo, quedan bien explicitados los recursos retóricos de los que se sirve la publicidad para generar sus mensajes.

Alianza Editorial El Eunuco Formión La suegra
Book SynopsisLa obra de Publio TERENCIO Afro consta de seis comedias compuestas entre los años 166 y 160 a.C. En el presente volumen ?cuya introducción, traducción y notas han corrido a cargo de Antonio López Fonseca? se presentan tres de ellas: EL EUNUCO, en la que encontramos los típicos personajes del soldado fanfarrón, una cortesana, una esclava, y el eunuco que da título a la obra y pie al enredo que en ella se crea, fue la que cosechó en su día mayor éxito. FORMIÓN tiene como protagonista al típico parásito de este tipo de obras, que en esta ocasión se sirve de ciertos subterfugios legales para conseguir sus propósitos y sacar adelante sus intrigas. LA SUEGRA, quizá por ser demasiado novedosa para las costumbres del público romano, tuvo un alumbramiento más accidentado y sólo pudo completar su representación en el tercer intento.
