  • Dioses Y Héroes De La Mitología Griega / Ana María Shua ; Ilustrado Por Fernando Falcone
    Y otra. Y otra. Siempre los mitos griegos (y romanos, que son más o menos los mismos con otros nombres). Porque son extraños y maravillosos, pero también familiares y cercanos. Porque están vivos. Porque seguimos hablando de ellos, porque los tenemos incorporados al idioma (¿acaso a un hombre forzudo no se lo llama un hércules?, ¿acaso las palabras Eros o Venus no siguen evocando al amor y al deseo?), porque son la fuente de la que seguimos nutriéndonos los escritores, los guionistas de cine, los inventores de historias del mundo entero, y también los pintores, los arquitectos, los músicos. En los dibujos animados, en las películas de aventuras, en las estatuas, en los edificios, los mitos griegos y romanos están presentes y nos saludan (o nos acechan) todos los días. Cada época ha sentido la necesidad de volver a contar a su manera, de acuerdo con su propia sensibilidad, estas historias en las que parecen concentrarse al mismo tiempo todo el poder de la fantasía y todas las contradicciones de la razón y la sensibilidad humanas. Yo las leí por primera vez en un libro para chicos que estaba muy de moda allá por los años cincuenta del siglo pasado: El Tesoro de la Juventud. Y me enamoré para siempre de los héroes y los dioses, pero también de los monstruos, con sus múltiples cabezas, su aliento de fuego, sus cabellos de serpiente. Por eso sentí una enorme alegría cuando empecé a leer y estudiar los mitos para tratar de escribirlos una vez más a la manera del siglo XXI.

Título del proyecto: “5 historias: El rostro humano detrás de las máscaras de la lucha libre”. Tutor: Pablo Calvo. Lugar y Fecha: Puebla de Zaragoza, México a 24 de septiembre de 2015. Justificación “Una fama sin rasgos faciales a los cuales adherirse”, Carlos Monsiváis. La lucha libre1 es un grito espectacular de la cultura popular mexicana. Es una alabanza a la irrealidad, es creer siguiendo a los sentidos. La lucha en la actualidad es un deporte que despierta pasiones en todas las esferas sociales; en antaño, los únicos que en él apreciaban algo de entretenimiento eran los habitantes de arrabal, las clases menos favorecidas, por eso lo llamaban el deporte de los pobres. Los ídolos de la lucha son más recordados que los modelos impuestos por la televisión.

  • Hellbound in El Salvador: Heavy Metal As a Philosophy of Life in Central America
    HELLBOUND IN EL SALVADOR: HEAVY METAL AS A PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE IN CENTRAL AMERICA by Christian Pack A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland October, 2018 © 2018 Christian Pack All Rights Reserved Abstract Heavy Metal in El Salvador has been a driving force of the underground culture since the Civil War in the 1980s. Over time, it has grown into a large movement that encompasses musicians, producers, promoters, media outlets and the international exchange of music, ideas and live shows. As a music based around discontent with society at large, Heavy Metal attempts to question the status quo through an intellectual exploration of taboo subjects and the presentation of controversial live shows. As an international discourse, Heavy Metal speaks to ideas of both socio-political and individual power based around a Philosophy of Life that exalts personal freedoms and personal responsibility to oneself and their society. As a community, it represents a ‘rage’ group, as defined by Peter Sloterdijk, that questions Western epistemologies and the doctrines of Christian Philosophy. This is done in different ways, by different genres, but at the heart is the changing of macro- (international) discourses into micro- (local) discourses that focus on those issues important to the geographic specificity of the region. In the case of Black Metal, born in Norway, it is interpreted in El Salvador through the similarities between the doctrines of Hitler and those of the most famous dictator in the country’s history – General Maximiliano Hernandez – and then applied, ironically, to the local phenomena of the Salvadoran Street Gangs (MS-13 and 18s) and their desired extermination.

    IMAGES OF INVASIONS AND RESISTANCE IN THE LITERATURE OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC By ARALIS MERCEDES RODRIGUEZ COLLADO A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern Languages School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham July 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT From 1492, when the first European invaders set foot on the island known today as Hispaniola, until 1965, the year of the April Revolution, the multi-faceted repercussions of invasion have been a prevalent theme within the Dominican Republic’s literature. This thesis examines how the country has amalgamated a roller-coaster past to reflect this in its writing. It starts by evaluating the Spanish invaders’ extermination of the Tainos, its generational influence and the continued impact of Trujillo’s legacy, highlighting the issue of gender within the Resistance movement. It presents a rigorous analysis of writers’ opinions, as transmitters of peoples’ views – from the pirate attack by Francis Drake, to the use of theatre by Independence fighters as a weapon of propaganda against the Haitian invasion; the resilience of peasant-culture represented in the guerrilla movement against the first U.S.
