Sinopsis del Libro

Libro La pasión del obstáculo

Juana Borrero (1877 - 1896) - Modernist poet, born in Puentes Grandes, Havana, Cuba. She also excelled in painting. As a poet, she was considered a precocious girl. Her father, Esteban Borrero, was a short stories writer of and a poet; and her sister, Dulce Maria Borrero, excelled at poetry and prose. Therefore, Juana grew up in an artistic and literary atmosphere, amid literary circles and gatherings attended by other writers like Carlos Pio and Federico Uhrbach, as well as Julian del Casal. While still very young, Juana took painting classes, first with Dolores Desvernine, and later on, in 1886, at the famous San Alejandro Academy of Fine Arts in Havana. She also studied with Armando Menocal, one of the most outstanding Cuban painters of the nineteenth century. In 1892, Juana accompanied her father to New York, where she met Jose Marti, who organized a literary soiree in her honor at Chickering Hall. She returned to Cuba the following year. Her poems appeared in the anthology Grupo de familia, poesias de los Borrero, published in 1895, also the year in which the only book of poetry published by Juana Borrero appeared: Rimas. Juana's poems were also featured in La Habana Elegante, Gris y Azul y El Figaro. In addition to valuable canvases and drawings of hers that still survive, she left an extensive epistolary that was published in Havana, in two volumes, between 1966 and 1967. These letters had their origin in the romantic relationship between Juana Borrero and Carlos Pio Uhrbach, which, because of the opposition of Esteban, Juana's father, had to be conducted through a secret interchange of personal letters. In 1895, due to Esteban's involvement in the revolutionary cause, the Borreros were forced to emigrate to the United States. In Key West, where her family settled, Juana passed away on March 9, 1896. Shortly before dying, and already almost without the strength to write, she dictated the verses of her "Ultima rima," which would become, in fact, her last poem. Although she died only months before turning eighteen, Juana Borrero is, in her own right, one of the most fascinating figures of the Hispano-American modernism. If she has not had all her well deserved recognition, it is only because her works had not been published outside Cuba until now. Particularly the letters, but also the poems of Juana Borrero, constitute an essential reading for those interested in the Hispano-American modernism. These works will surely become required reading for anyone attempting to understand the workings of subjectivity - especially, but no only, regarding women - during the Latin American fin-de-siecle . In addition to the critical and commented edition of the complete poetic works of Juana Borrero, the present book includes a selection of her letters, texts on Juana Borrero, photos and an updated bibliography.

María Wiesse en Amauta: los orígenes de la crítica de cine en el Perú

Libro María Wiesse en Amauta: los orígenes de la crítica de cine en el Perú

Mónica Delgado ofrece una completa investigación sobre la precursora de la crítica de cine en Perú: María Wiesse. A pesar de que fue una de las primeras mujeres en abordarlo con una mirada aguda en el ámbito periodístico y con un enfoque que iba más allá de la nota informativa o publicitaria, hasta la fecha no se la ha reconocido como tal. Por ello, este libro es un hito en la historia del cine, pues busca darle el lugar que se merece; es decir, un papel fundacional en este ámbito. La producción de María Wiesse fue amplia y vasta, no solo en el campo de la crítica...

Entre lo Local y lo Global

Libro Entre lo Local y lo Global

Este libro propone un conjunto de lecturas sobre la narrativa latinoamericana de las últimas dos décadas, la discusión de sus formas de existencia o inexistencia y su transcripción de la complejidad de unos tiempos en los que se conjugan la diferencia y la ubicuidad del imperialismo con la diversidad cultural y la estandarización mundial; internacionalización y cosmopolitismo que, en conjunción con la reescritura de aspectos locales, transcurren en un espacio híbrido que está lejos de poder adscribirse ni a McDonald's ni a Macondo. Consciente de la imposibilidad de generalizaciones...
