Book Description
Un dels aspectes més valuosos d'aquest llibre és que comença enllaçant, a través dels dos primers articles, l'educació universitària amb el seu nivell immediatament anterior: l'escola secundària; una connexió que sovint s'oblida amb seriosos resultats per a tots dos. En aquest sentit, Benito Camacho Martín, l'autor d'un dels articles, realitza una anàlisi lúcida i en certa manera dogmàtic sobre el declivi de l'ensenyament de literatura a les escoles de secundària, tant en hores dedicades com en coneixements adquirits. Els altres articles, alguns en anglès i uns altres en castellà, tracten diferents aspectes de l'ensenyament de literatura nord-americana, amb una èmfasi manifesta en materials del segle XX i, sobretot, en la literatura afro-americana; de fet, el llibre resultarà particularment útil per als professors d'això últim.

Book Description
Uno de los aspectos más valiosos de este libro es que comienza enlazando, a través de los dos primeros artículos, la educación universitaria con su nivel inmediatamente anterior: la escuela de secundaria; una conexión que a menudo se olvida con serios resultados para ambos. En este sentido, Benito Camacho Martín, el autor de uno de los artículos, realiza un análisis lúcido y en cierto modo dogmático sobre el declive de la enseñanza de literatura en las escuelas de secundaria, tanto en horas dedicadas como en conocimientos adquiridos. Los otros artículos –algunos en inglés y otros en castellano– tratan distintos aspectos de la enseñanza de literatura norteamericana, con un énfasis manifiesto en materiales del siglo XX y, sobre todo, en la literatura afro-americana; de hecho, el libro resultará particularmente útil para los profesores de esto último

African American Women's Literature in Spain
Author: Sandra Llopart Babot
Publisher: Universitat de València
ISBN: 8411181707
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
This volume brings forward a descriptive approach to the translation and reception of African American women’s literature in Spain. Drawing from a multidisciplinary theoretical and methodological framework, it traces the translation history of literature produced by African American women, seeking to uncover changing strategies in translation policies as well as shifts in interests in the target context, and it examines the topicality of this cohort of authors as frames of reference for Spanish critics and reviewers. Likewise, the reception of the source literature in the Spanish context is described by reconstructing the values that underlie judgements in different reception sources. Finally, this book addresses the specific problem of the translation of Black English into Spanish. More precisely, it pays attention to the ideological and the ethical implications of translation choices and the effect of the latter on the reception of literary texts.

Critical Approaches to American Working-Class Literature
Author: Michelle Tokarczyk
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136697411
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
This book is one of the first collections on a neglected field in American literature: that written by and about the working-class. Examining literature from the 1850s to the present, contributors use a wide variety of critical approaches, expanding readers’ understanding of the critical lenses that can be applied to working-class literature. Drawing upon theories of media studies, postcolonial studies, cultural geography, and masculinity studies, the essays consider slave narratives, contemporary poetry and fiction, Depression-era newspaper plays, and ethnic American literature. Depicting the ways that working-class writers render the lives, the volume explores the question of what difference class makes, and how it intersects with gender, race, ethnicity, and geographical location.

The Poetry and Poetics of Gerald Vizenor
Author: Deborah L. Madsen
Publisher: UNM Press
ISBN: 0826352499
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
The first book devoted exclusively to the poetry and literary aesthetics of one of Native America's most accomplished writers, this collection of essays brings together detailed critical analyses of single texts and individual poetry collections from diverse theoretical perspectives, along with comparative discussions of Vizenor's related works. Contributors discuss Vizenor's philosophy of poetic expression, his innovations in diverse poetic genres, and the dynamic interrelationships between Vizenor's poetry and his prose writings. Throughout his poetic career Vizenor has returned to common tropes, themes, and structures. Indeed, it is difficult to distinguish clearly his work in poetry from his prose, fiction, and drama. The essays gathered in this collection offer powerful evidence of the continuing influence of Anishinaabe dream songs and the haiku form in Vizenor's novels, stories, and theoretical essays; this influence is most obvious at the level of grammatical structure and imagistic composition but can also be discerned in terms of themes and issues to which Vizenor continues to return.

Approaches to Teaching Early Modern Spanish Drama
Author: Laura R. Bass
Publisher: Modern Language Assn of Amer
ISBN: 9780873529952
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
At the start of the twenty-first century, performances of early modern Spanish drama experienced resurgent popularity--not only in Spain but also on stages across Europe, Latin America, and the United States. In the academy the comedia, which includes comic, tragicomic, and tragic works, is widely taught in a range of contexts to a variety of students, in Spanish and in translation. Given the steady increase of Spanish as the language of choice in foreign language departments, these courses will continue to flourish. This volume offers guidance to teachers in helping students engage with and understand these late-sixteenth- and early-seventeenth-century works. Part 1, "Materials," evaluates editions and anthologies in English and Spanish; identifies important critical works and historical studies; and surveys illustrated books, films, and Internet resources. In part 2, "Approaches," experienced teachers discuss the way the plays challenged the interests of the monarchial state; examine the obsession with honor shared by Spanish men and women alike; explain the key role costume played in providing both pleasure and meaning; and explore how late-twentieth-century films reflect elements of these early Spanish plays. Other approaches center on five women playwrights; delve into the complex theological and philosophical underpinnings of the plays; pair the plays with Shakespearean drama; show how Spanish plays influenced French dramatists; and trace the appeal of the Don Juan figure.

Contemporary American Fiction in the European Classroom
Author: Laurence W. Mazzeno
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030941663
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
This book offers insight into the ways students enrolled in European classrooms in higher education come to understand American experience through its literary fiction, which for decades has been a key component of English department offerings and American Studies curricula across the continent and in Great Britain and Ireland. The essays provide an understanding of how post-World War II American writers, some already elevated to ‘canonical status’ and some not, are represented in European university classrooms and why they have been chosen for inclusion in coursework. The book will be of interest to scholars and teachers of American literature and American studies, and to students in American literature and American studies courses.

Sacred Femininity and the Politics of Affect in African American Women's Fiction
Author: Vicent Cucarella Ramón
Publisher: Universitat de València
ISBN: 8491343180
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
This book presents the way in which African American women writers (Hannah Crafts, Zora Neale Hurston and Toni Morrison) have followed the spiritual endeavor of black Christianity as created by early nineteenth-century spiritual narratives to construct a sacred reading of the black female self. The sacred femininity that puts the ethics and aesthetics of African American women at the center of a certain mode of (African) Americanness relies on a view of spirituality that joins women ontologically and validates affective modes of representation as an innovative means to obtain social and personal empowerment.
