Описание: A Historical Investigation of Mechanism in Seventeenth-Century Debates
Описание: The years 1909-1930, the eleven-year presidency of the businessman-turned-politician Augusto B. Legu a, mark a formative period of Peruvian modernity, witnessing the continuity of a process of reconstruction and the development of an intellectual and cultural tradition after a humbling defeat during the War of the Pacific (1879-1883). But these years were also fraught with conflict generated by long-standing divisions and new rivalries. A postwar generation of intellectuals and artists, led by Jos Carlos Mari tegui and galvanized by left-wing thinking and an avant-garde aesthetic, sought representation in the fields of politics and the arts to realize the modernizing potentialities opened up by a Positivist oligarchy. New political and artistic conceptions raised their awareness of the fractured sense of nationhood in Peru and the need for a new project of nation-formation based on a common political and cultural consciousness. Crucially, this gave rise to divergent political and artistic positions and practices. Mari tegui's Indigenist-Marxist politics and Modernist-inspired poetics, through his influential journal Amauta, were pivotal in revitalizing, conciliating and channeling those of his cohorts and challengers. Comprising six full-length chapters, a comprehensive introduction and conclusion, this monograph is ambitious in scope and depth. It provides fresh readings of key writings of Mari tegui, one of Latin America's most important and revolutionary political, cultural and aesthetic theorists, through the lens of his poetics, emphasizing the value of this approach for a fuller understanding of his work's political meaning and impact. It does so through detailed analysis of the poetic, expressive language employed in seminal political essays, aimed at forging a new Marxist position in 1920s Peru. Furthermore, it offers powerful and original critiques of under-studied intellectuals of this time, especially aprista-Futurists, Socialists and Indigenists, including female writers and artists such as Magda Portal, ngela Ramos, and Julia Codesido whose work he championed. These readings are fully contextualized in terms of detailed critical study of complex sociopolitical conditions and positions, and biographical, intellectual backgrounds of Mari tegui and his contemporaries. This monograph underscores the fundamental importance of Mari tegui in the development of political and artistic practices and projects that shaped a national, shared, yet also heterogeneous, political culture and cultural tradition in Peru during and after his lifetime.

Описание: I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012. My husband and I did a tremendous amount of research on the internet: we studied cancer types, grades, cells, scores. We educated ourselves on diagnostic tests and how to interpret their results. We did our homework. Had we not been knowledgable about my cancer before we stepped into a breast surgeon's office, I would currently be (unnecessarily) missing either one or both of my breasts. Maintaining control over cancer requires much more than a good understanding of the disease. This book is about the strategies and beliefs that carried me from cancer patient to cancer survivor.In April 2012, I began chemotherapy. Coincidentally, the Stanley Cup Playoffs were just beginning. Seeded number eight and definitely the dark horse, the Los Angeles Kings set out to win that coveted Cup. One game after another, the Kings dominate the ice with superior talent and teamwork. The hockey world cannot deny it; this team has become unstoppable. When I am offered ice seat tickets to a semi-final game, I am able to see and feel the power of the human spirit. The grim determination and warrior mentality that brings the Los Angeles Kings their first Stanley Cup Championship becomes my greatest source of inspiration.Six months after all my breast cancer therapies are complete, I am diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer. I have to undergo another surgery, followed by a massive dose of radiation. The LA Kings are heading into the Stanley Cup Playoffs again; I look to "my boys" for inspiration, and they don't let me down.In October 2014, a tiny black freckle on my right calf sends me to my dermatologist. I am diagnosed with lentiginous junctional nevus, the precursor lesion to melanoma. This time around, a deep scoop of flesh and twenty eight stitches restore me to a cancer free state. I beat three cancers in three years, and I'm calling that a hat trick. My victory is made even sweeter because it is shared; the LA Kings claim the Stanley Cup for the second time in three years.This is my story-it's about not giving up.

Описание:
The words of Bronx Rhapsody move to the beat of Maria Meli's heart and the wrenching of her core. In her poems, one senses her relief and ecstasy for having been able to let go. This second-generation Sicilian American takes us on a long journey, one that sings of her beginnings within the household of her immigrant family, enclosed by its traditions in its bucolic Bronx setting, and poignantly portrays her coming of age and her pilgrimage to adulthood. The trajectory embraces a luscious eight-decade lifespan from the time she was born in the years before World War II until the present.
But this volume of poetry is by no means a book of praise poems crafted after the dinner parties and rituals of warm Sicilian American families. Maria Meli allows us to bear witness to the challenges imposed upon her becoming a woman, all set against a poetic tapestry woven by a narrative of abuses and betrayals that include the Sturm und Drang of falling in and out of love and the joy only children can bring forth in the Boogie Down against the ever-changing backdrop of the City that Never Sleeps.
Mar a Meli, just like her predecessors Anne Sexton, Audre Lorde, and Charles Bukowski, is a poet who is not afraid of exposing, denouncing, or uplifting humankind. She's both raw and sublime. In her work, Meli questions assimilation against authenticity and condemns the hypocrisy of American politics and the proliferation of inequality, particularly amongst people of color, women, and the poor. Despite some scathingly ugly portrayals, her words, on the whole, reflect the poet's hope for all of us to rise above violence, erasure, poverty, and prejudice.
With such a spirit of optimism, Maria Meli also believes that we owe it to ourselves to feel, to name our own demons and dance with them because, in her view, it is precisely through the process of acceptance and forgiveness that starts within the self and radiates from us to our loved ones that we are genuinely able to open our hearts and embrace kindness and generosity as our daily mantra. Indeed, for Maria, achieving such a level of consciousness in our interactions with others can generate a kind of communal rebirth capable of restoring the dignity of all human life.
