La vida manda y otros textos

Sinopsis del Libro

This edition comprises selected examples of the Cuban writer Ofelia Rodriguez Acosta' s prose, including her best known novel and samples of her short stories, essays and journalism works. These texts range from raw realism to lyrical exaltation; from the direct portayal of the historical moment to the meticulous insight of the human psyche. Her peculiar naturalism bloomed under the influence of the philosophical currents of her times, encompassing echoes of Positivism, but after a passionate discussion against Existentialism her writing steerer towards the Latin American avant-garde literature that without any conflict simultaneously approached metaphysics and political commitment. Together the foreword essay and the selected examples offer a survey view of her style and ideas in the convulsive decades of 1930 to 1950 Cuba, a key to understand the development of Modernity on the island. Ofelia Rodríguez Acosta, undoubtedly occupies a place in this feat. We hope that this book continues the growing academic work determined to recover her voice. This book is much more than an excellent edition of the novel «La vida manda» by the all-important Cuban feminist Ofelia Rodríguez Acosta. In addition to including a selection of other texts by the author, in her introduction Madeline Cámara highlights with sharpness and intelligence the importance of naturalism, feminism and mysticism in the work of Rodríguez Acosta. From now on, every study on Rodríguez Acosta will have to take into account this magnificent contribution made by prof. Camara.

La imagen de los negros en el teatro del Siglo de Oro

En la España del Siglo de Oro, la palabra negro era sinónima de esclavo. A principios del siglo XVII las ciudades españolas contaban con una población de raza negra que era el resultado de una nueva etapa en la historia de la esclavitud. El teatro barroco se hizo eco de esta presencia y la explicó al público de las más diversas maneras. Autores y público colaboraban en la creación de unos estereotipos literarios que, con pequeñas variantes, fueron exportados a las Américas y al resto del mundo. Siguen vigentes hoy en la literatura, el cine y la televisión: negros graciosos e...
