El Laberinto De La Soledad by Octavio Paz

El Laberinto De La Soledad by Octavio Paz

Manchester University Press
2008
nidottu
If one had to identify one central, defining text from modern Mexican culture, it would be Octavio Paz´s famous essay, El laberinto de la soledad. This fully annotated edition includes the complete text in Spanish (with the author’s final revisions), and notes and additional material in English. The editor’s introduction contextualizes the essay and discusses central features: autobiographical and textual origins, intellectual sources, reception and canonization, generic ambiguity, structure, and governing symbols. The intellectual sources identified range from Marx, Nietzsche and Freud to the more contemporary ones of the French College of Sociology (Caillois), the Surrealist movement, the ideas of D. H. Lawrence, previous essays from writers in Mexico (such as Samuel Ramos) and Latin America. Several lines of interpretation are examined to show how the work can be read as a psycho-historical essay, an autobiographical construct or a modern literary myth. Transdisciplinary by nature, this literary essay is both an imaginative construction of personal and national identity, and also a critical deconstruction of dominant stereotypes. It seeks to redefine the complex relationships that exist between psychology, myth, history and Mexican culture. This edition also includes excerpts of the author’s opinions on his essay, a time-line of Mexican history, a selected vocabulary, and themes for discussion and debate. Paz’s first full-length prose work remains his most well-known and widely read text, and this edition will appeal to sixth-form and university students, teachers, researchers and general readers with a knowledge of Spanish.

pokkari
A bitter squabble over a tradesman's inheritance. A frightened man, on the run, trying to evade unseen persons to keep them from stealing that same inheritance. First century privaate detective, Jake Jezreel, has been hired to step in between these two fighting factions. But when you're in the middle, Jake discovers there is no place to hide. In Jake Jezreel's latest adventure, "The Wreck of the Flagship Octavian", the detective is swept up into an investigation much greater than he ever could have imagined. The ensuing struggle over the inheritance explodes into a brawl with a violent gang, a precision Roman military raid, and a frantic, climactic chase through the windy streets of Jerusalem. Hannukah is the backdrop of this adventure, with the icy winds of December intruding into all the twists and turns of this intricate tale. In all of his tough choices along the way, Jake's faith is greatly tested. Living the Christian life in amongst the many evils of worldly society "ain't easy". Time and time again, during this investigation, Jake must depend, moment by moment, upon the powerful wisdom of God. Who will finally get the inheritance? What claim do the Romans have over the disputed inheritance? What is the trap that Jake finally springs to capture the evildoers? The tale of "The Wreck of the Flagship Octavian" will draw all these loose ends together in a final, dramatic conclusion.

Postcolonial Reconstruction: A Sociological Reading of Octavio Paz

Postcolonial Reconstruction: A Sociological Reading of Octavio Paz

Oliver Kozlarek

Springer International Publishing AG
2016
nidottu
This book presents a close reading of the work of the Mexican writer and Nobel Prize Laureate, Octavio Paz. It does so from the specific perspective of sociology and the more general perspective of the social sciences. The book identifies opportunities for relating Paz’ sociological ideas to contemporary debates, arguing that Paz’ sociology is linked very closely to his assessment of what could be called the post-colonial condition that Mexico has been experiencing. The book thus advances the understanding of the differences between post-colonial experiences in Latin America and those of other areas of the world. In addition to revealing Paz’ sociology, the book focuses on Modernity and examines Paz’ critique of Modernity and his “project of Modernity”. It shows that a close examination of the works of Octavio Paz helps redefine Modernity from a Latin American perspective as an experience in which the global and local are intertwined, and helps to point in the direction of a new kind of humanism.
