Matar a mamá / Matricide

Autor: Santiago Vizcaíno

Número de Páginas: 142

Imagine el lector que sale de su casa, dentro de su cartera o bolso lleva este pequeño libro, pero sin saberlo está cargando uno de los museos contemporáneos más completos del mundo, el verdadero museo callejero, donde lo social y sus complejas intersecciones son las diversas muestras y exposiciones que inauguran este mes. En sus salas podrá encontrar a una prostituta enamorada de un cliente matricida, a un fiscal morboso, a un poeta inmantado por un ángel, a un ex soldado caníbal, a un anciano obsesionado con su requinto, a un nostálgico muchacho con complejo de Edipo, a un joven desencantado y abandonado hasta por su propio cuerpo y madre, a un borracho flaneur, a un guardia de seguridad obnubilado por el poder de la pólvora, a una esposa que huye de su instinto asesino... Tenga cuidado el lector: el museo abre cuando usted lo disponga, pero nadie puede garantizarle un horario de cierre y mucho menos una salida de emergencia. En este su primer libro de narrativa publicado, Santiago Vizcaíno demuestra la ductilidad de los buenos escritores latinoamericanos, aquellos que saben moverse entre géneros mayores sin claudicar ni abandonar en ninguno de ellos lo vital de su...

Discurso y sociedad II. Nuevas contribuciones al estudio de la lengua en un contexto social.

Autor: Blas Arroyo, José Luis , Casanova Avalos, Manuela , Velando Casanova, Mónica

Número de Páginas: 754

En el III Congreso sobre Lengua y Sociedad se dedicó un espacio autónomo para analizar y debatir sobre la influencia recíproca que se dispensan dos realidades con que convivimos a diario (las lenguas con las que nos comunicamos y la sociedad que nos rodea). Los trabajos de esta obra responden a diferentes aproximaciones téorico-metodológicas en el estudio de la relación lengua-sociedad: sociolingüística, análisis del discurso, bilingüismo social, consecuencias del contacto de lenguas, etc.

The Problems of Literary Translation

Autor: Maria T. Sanchez

Número de Páginas: 278

This volume examines the various linguistic and cultural problems which point towards the practical impossibility of conveying in one language exactly what was originally said in another. The author provides an exhaustive discussion of Spanish translations from English texts, including non-standard registers. Equivalence across languages, that most elusive of terms in the whole theory of translation, is discussed in terms of linguistic equivalence, textual equivalence, cultural equivalence and pragmatic equivalence. Other aspects studied include how translation has been perceived over the centuries, the differences and the similarities between a writer and a translator, plus a detailed examination of translation as process, all of which bring the problems of literary translation into perspective.

What Reagan Couldn't Tell Us

Autor: Lawrence Nesbitt

Número de Páginas: 352

Many of Ronald Reagan's ways were not only unusual, but seem to contradict his others. Some authors are so perplexed by his nature they are reluctant to even assign intelligence to his mentality. They suspect he operated on everything from instinct to hunches to gut feelings and guesses. Lawrence Nesbitt's six years of extensive research has revealed a single psychological key that makes sense of the anomalies and contradictions. He has uncovered a powerful and nearly unique mindset that directed almost all of Reagan's conduct then and causes the confusion now. This unusual belief also explains how a man so old and riddled with flaws could accomplish so much and leave the presidency with an approval rating of nearly 70%, the highest of any two-term president in United States history. Nesbitt shows the controlling role this mindset played in Reagan's youth, in his years as a Hollywood actor, during his tenure as California governor, through his two terms as president, and even later. What Reagan Couldn't Tell Us offers a previously untold analysis of Reagan, one that will encourage discussion for years to come. I found Lawrence Nesbitts explanation of what made Ronald Reagan tick...

Spanish Vocabulary

Autor: David Brodsky

Número de Páginas: 655

Unlike other vocabulary guides that require the rote memorization of literally thousands of words, this book starts from the premise that using the etymological connections between Spanish and English words—their common derivations from Latin, Greek, and other languages—is the most effective way to acquire and remember vocabulary. This approach is suitable for beginners as well as for advanced students. Teachers of the language will also find much material that can be used to help motivate their students to acquire, and retain, Spanish vocabulary. Spanish Vocabulary is divided into four parts and four annexes: Part I provides background material on the origins of Spanish and begins the process of presenting Spanish vocabulary.Part II presents "classical" Spanish vocabulary—words whose form (in both Spanish and English) is nearly unchanged from Latin and Greek.Part III deals with "popular" Spanish vocabulary, which underwent significant changes in form (and often meaning) during the evolution from Latin to Spanish. A number of linguistic patterns are identified that will help learners recognize and remember new vocabulary.Part IV treats a wide range of themes, including words ...

Mexico and the United States in the Oil Controversy, 1917–1942

Autor: Lorenzo Meyer

Número de Páginas: 390

From reviews of the Spanish edition: “Meyer’s perceptive commentary on Mexican power politics presents new insights into the petroleum lobbies in Mexico City and Washington. With unbiased empathy he shows the validity of Mexico’s complaints about foreigners’ deriving an overabundance of profit from a nonrenewable natural resource. He understands United States history and never abuses his license to criticize.” —Hispanic American Historical Review “This useful addition to the literature on twentieth-century Mexican–United States diplomatic relations is a scholarly work, worthy of consideration by all students of the subject.”—American Historical Review Mexico and the United States in the Oil Controversy, 1917–1942 explores the relationship between the United States and Mexico during the first half of the twentieth century, with special attention to the Mexican nationalization of the oil industry. Relying on Mexican archival material never before analyzed, the author presents a unique perspective on the period following the Mexican Revolution and Mexico’s efforts to diminish its economic dependency on the United States. This work not only describes the...

The Communicative Grammatical Function of Cognate Infinitives in Lebanese Arabic

Autor: Iriarte Díez, Ana

Número de Páginas: 302

Cognate Infinitives have been identified and described as productive linguistic features within Arabic language and along the Semitic continuum. However, their full range of function remains largely unstudied in the spoken varieties of Arabic. This study proposes a new grammatical model for the analysis and description of Cognate Infinitives in Lebanese Arabic that accounts for this feature’s semantic, informational, affective and social functions. It suggests that Cognate Infinitives function as focus markers and are efficient communicative tools for a variety of attention management actions as well as for ‘face’ management strategies. The findings of this study therefore replace the omnipresent notion of “adverbial emphasis” with a definition of “focus” that comprises both informational and affective factors.

ESTUDIOS DE GRAMÁTICA CONTRASTIVA

Autor: GonzÁlez Romero, Luisa

Número de Páginas: 361

Junto con los anuncios en prensa o en televisión y los catálogos de venta por correo, a los que habría que definir como mensajes publicitarios directos, las publicaciones orientadas a sectores específicos han constituido la segunda gran fuente para la recopilación de ejemplos. Las revistas de belleza, de decoración, de fotografía, de automóviles, y las ediciones de difusión general que, como los dominicales de los periódicos, abarcan todo tipo de reportajes y artículos, han sido de obligada consulta mientras elaborábamos este estudio por las continuas referencias que en ellas encontramos a los productos que el mercado ofrece al consumidor, referencias que podríamos calificar como publicidad indirecta. La vinculación de las construcciones medias al fructífero campo publicitario no significa, sin embargo, que estas estructuras no aparezcan en otro tipo de textos. Si bien es cierto que en otros registros lingüísticos el número de construcciones medias se reduce considerablemente, en cualquier situación comunicativa es posible emplear este tipo de oraciones si la intención del hablante es atribuir el éxito, o el fracaso, de la acción a las propiedades del sujeto ...

Life Truth in its Various Perspectives

Autor: Anna-teresa Tymieniecka

Número de Páginas: 406

What is truth? This fascinating spectrum of studies into the various rationalities of our human dealings with life - psychological, aesthetic, economic, spiritual - reveals their joints and calls for a new approach to truth. Putting both classical and contemporary conceptions aside, we find the primogenital ground of truth in the networks of correspondences, adequations, relevancies, and rationales at work in life's becoming. Does this plurivocal differentiation mean that the status of truth is relative? On the contrary, submits Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka, given the universal significance of the crucial instrument of the logos of life, "truth is the vortex of life's ontopoietic unfolding".

The Falklands Regime

Autor: Dr. Mike Bingham

Número de Páginas: 312

This true story tells how twenty years after British troops died for democracy in the Falklands War, a British citizen would be forced to flee the Falklands to escape political corruption and death threats, to seek democracy and freedom of speech in Argentina. When a British biologist dared to connect the starvation of 5 million penguins to commercial fishing that was making the Falklands elite rich, a deadly game of cat and mouse was unleashed. Bungled attempts to deport, imprison and kill Bingham, landed the Falkland Islands Government in the Supreme Court, which ruled that the Governor, Attorney General, Chief Executive and Executive Council had committed acts of human rights abuse that were “morally and constitutionally indefensible”. When the Falklands Government stated in public that they were not going to be stopped by the Supreme Court ruling, Bingham was forced to seek safety in Argentina. It is good to know that British troops did not die in vain.
