Lispector Y Valenzuela: Hacia Una Poética Del Devenir, Fatima R. Nogueira
Lispector Y Valenzuela: Hacia Una Poética Del Devenir, Fatima R. Nogueira
The Coastal Review: An Online Peer-reviewed Journal
Considering the metaliterary focalization as well as the importance of sensible and sensorial traits in the novels El gato eficaz by Luisa Valenzuela and Un soplo de vida by Clarice Lispector this study proposes the realization of a becoming poetics in both literary works, in the sense that Deleuze and Guattari have developed the theory of becoming. Such an aesthetic is based mainly on two significant factors: first, the transformation of the subject in a virtual entity; secondly, the conversion of the discourse into a modality of becoming guided by a proliferation of voices, planes and fictions.
Metafilm In The Spanish Post-Civil War Period: Cinematic Self-Reflection In Berlanga’S Bienvenido, Mr. Marshall And Bardem’S Calle Mayor, Lucy F. Lee
The Coastal Review: An Online Peer-reviewed Journal
The focus on the self-referential as a means of destabilizing reality and calling attention to the artificial nature of life may be noted in a number of films of the Spanish post-Civil War period, among them José Antonio Berlanga’s Bienvenido, Mr. Marshall and Juan Antonio Bardem’s Calle Mayor. Through their use of metacinematic devices such as distancing techniques, parody, and the incorporation of performance and cinematic models, the constructed nature of provincial life and Spanish identity is exposed, ushering in a new era of Spanish cinema.
La Carte D’Identité De Jean-Marie Adiaffi Ou La Quête Identitaire À Travers La Symbolique De L’Initiation Allégorique, Theodore Akohoue
La Carte D’Identité De Jean-Marie Adiaffi Ou La Quête Identitaire À Travers La Symbolique De L’Initiation Allégorique, Theodore Akohoue
The Coastal Review: An Online Peer-reviewed Journal
Since the earliest contact between Sub-Saharan Africans and Europeans, European literature tends to erase African history and civilization. Later, after an unsuccessful erasure, colonial literature denigrates it as primitive. Using the “identity card” as a motif in his novel, Jean-Marie Adiaffi exposes the defects of European colonization in its African colonies. Through an approach of allegorical initiation symbolism, Addiaffi revalorizes his culture, tradition, and identity all denied by colonial rule.
Fresa Y Chocolate: A Subtle Critique Of The Revolution In Crisis, William O. Deaver Jr.
Fresa Y Chocolate: A Subtle Critique Of The Revolution In Crisis, William O. Deaver Jr.
The Coastal Review: An Online Peer-reviewed Journal
This article uses Paulo Freire’s theories to illustrate Gutiérrez Alea’s attempts to continue a dynamic, Cuban revolution in light of what he depicts as a static revolution that has ceased to evolve. In fact, the film under study seems to present the achievements of Castro’s revolution as counter-revolutionary since the movement has suffered from bureaucratization, sloganism, and the banking model of education, which are all characteristics of an oppressive regime.
Effects Of Using Culture-Laden Texts On Culture-Specific Translation Skills In Arab Students, Hamad Al-Dosari, Mohamed A. Mekheimer
Effects Of Using Culture-Laden Texts On Culture-Specific Translation Skills In Arab Students, Hamad Al-Dosari, Mohamed A. Mekheimer
The Coastal Review: An Online Peer-reviewed Journal
This work explores the possibility of translating culture-laden texts from English into Arabic, relying on a corpus of literary texts representing the local cultures of the 16th. and the 18th. century England. Furthermore, it taps into the applicability of SL cultural texts to help students appropriately render a culture-specific lexicon. The present study makes use of an experimental research design to check whether the use of literary texts may help EFL learners enhance their culture-specific translation skills in a traditional instruction setting. Finally, its findings indicate that the use of culture-laden literary texts can be efficient in introducing the culturally …
La Restauration Rapide: An Affront To The Collective Cultural Memory Of French Cuisine, Amye Sukapdjo
La Restauration Rapide: An Affront To The Collective Cultural Memory Of French Cuisine, Amye Sukapdjo
The Coastal Review: An Online Peer-reviewed Journal
A collective cultural memory is established through the evolving interactions and interpretations that a group has with socially contextualized knowledge and experiences. Three elements are necessary: shared history, shared values, and shared language. The cultural construct of French cuisine has been central to its national identity since the early nineteenth century. Yet it has experienced an “assault” from a differing model of production and consumption calledla restauration rapide. How has France’s patrimoine culinaire (re-)interpreted this assault in its collective cultural memory? Reactions include a forged culinary (anti-)identity and a (re-)appropriation of the most offending foodstuff – the hamburger.
La Gran Aldea De Lucio Vicente López Como Crítica De La Argentina De 1880, Vicente Gomis-Izquierdo
La Gran Aldea De Lucio Vicente López Como Crítica De La Argentina De 1880, Vicente Gomis-Izquierdo
The Coastal Review: An Online Peer-reviewed Journal
This paper analyzes the relationship that La gran aldea (1884) proposes between the lower-middle classes and the Argentinean process of modernization in order to criticize the lack of progress due to socio-economic factors. The author, a member of the Generation of 1880, shows this criticism in the text in aspects such as education, the mix of social classes, family disintegration, the contrast between Buenos Aires in 1862 and 1882, immigration and the deficient role that the upper classes played in the development of a strong national industry and economy.
La Repolitización Del Autor En Margarita, Está Linda La Mar De Sergio Ramírez, Brian T. Chandler
La Repolitización Del Autor En Margarita, Está Linda La Mar De Sergio Ramírez, Brian T. Chandler
The Coastal Review: An Online Peer-reviewed Journal
Margarita, está linda la mar (1998) by Sergio Ramírez presents the reader with two key periods in Nicaraguan history: Ruben Darío’s return to Nicaragua in 1916 and the assassination of Anastasio Somoza in 1956. Through parody and artistic license, the narrator demystifies these grand figures of Nicaragua, highlighting the cultural, historical, and political ties between the modernist poet and the struggle for freedom under the Somoza dictatorship. As a result, a metaphorical space is created where discourse about historical figures is freed from previous ideological constraints allowing the reader to more completely explore the relationships between past and present.
