La MaMa Experimental Theatre – A Lasting Bridge Between Cultures The Dialogue with European Theater in the Years 1961–1975

La MaMa Experimental Theatre – A Lasting Bridge Between Cultures The Dialogue with European Theater in the Years 1961–1975

This book focuses on the role of La MaMa Experimental Theatre within Avant-garde theater during the 1960s and 1970s. This study investigates the involvement of the Off-Off Broadway circuit in the Avant-garde experimentations both in the United States (New York specifically) and in Europe. This exploration shows the two-way influence – between Europe and the United States – testified by documents gathered in years of archival research. In this relevant artistic exchange La MaMa (and Ellen Stewart as its founder and artistic director) emerges as a key element. La MaMa’s companies brought to Europe the American culture and the New York underground culture while their members learnt European training techniques by attending workshops or taking part in the research of Eugenio Barba Jerzy Grotowski and Peter Brook and brought their principles back to the United States. This book goes through a chronological path that presents some key cases of collaboration between the above-mentioned European masters and some La MaMa’s artists and companies: Tom O ’Horgan and La MaMa Repertory Troupe the Open Theatre Andrei Serban and The Great Jones Repertory Company La MaMa Plexus. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in theater and performance studies. | La MaMa Experimental Theatre – A Lasting Bridge Between Cultures The Dialogue with European Theater in the Years 1961–1975

Peasants Negotiating a Global Policy Space La Vía Campesina in the Committee on World Food Security

Peasants Negotiating a Global Policy Space La Vía Campesina in the Committee on World Food Security

Being the public voice of over 180 member organisations across nearly 90 countries La Vía Campesina the global peasant movement has planted itself firmly on the international scene. This book explores the internationalisation of the movement with a specific focus on the engagement of peasants in the processes of the Committee on World Food Security (CFS). Since the reform of the CFS in 2009 civil society actors engage in the policy processes of this UN Committee from a self-designed and autonomous global Civil Society Mechanism. The author sheds light on the strategies tensions debates and reconfigurations arising from rural actors moving between every day struggles in the fields and those of the UN arena. Whereas most theories in the dominant literature on social movements expect them to either disappear or institutionalise in a predetermined pattern the book presents empirical evidence that La Vía Campesina is building a much more sophisticated model. The direct participation of representatives of peasant organisations in the CFS is highlighted as a pioneering example of building a more complex inclusive and democratic foundation for global policy-making. Foreword by Olivier De Schutter United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food (2008-2014). | Peasants Negotiating a Global Policy Space La Vía Campesina in the Committee on World Food Security

The Viola da Gamba

The Viola da Gamba

Following two chapters on the instrument's construction and ancestry the core of the book is given to a historical and geographical survey of the instrument from its origins into the classical period. The book closes with a look at the revival of interest in the 19th and 20th centuries.

La Casa De Mis Suenos Dreams Of Home In A Transnational Migrant Community

La Casa De Mis Suenos Dreams Of Home In A Transnational Migrant Community

Unable to secure a full livelihood in either Mexico or the United States migrants from the rural village of Napizaro in central Mexico must extend their families and their community across the border. The lives of Napizarenos demonstrate the difficulties of reproduction in a transnational context calling into question the way we think about households families and communities. La Casa de Mis Sueños examines the efforts of villagers from Napízaro to build their dream houses in Mexico through participation in transnational migration. New house designs reshape the spatial ordering of everyday life and are part of the recreation of social space in a changing economic and moral landscape. These changes have engendered conflict as migration usurps traditional routes to prosperity and success and as migrant houses become both the locus of growing consumerism and a site for heavily charged and contested ideas about family and community. This book is more than an engaging account of the realities that pervade one small community. It is an examination of the ways in which global processes penetrate the local the daily and the personal in rural Mexico. Above all it asserts the power of place as constitutive of the ways in which people create meaning in their lives. | La Casa De Mis Suenos Dreams Of Home In A Transnational Migrant Community

The Routledge Research Companion to the Works of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz

By addressing the multiple frameworks through which to read her work this research guide serves as a useful resource for scholars and students of the Baroque in Europe and Latin America colonial Novohispanic religious institutions and women’s and gender studies.

Sor Juana In de la Cruz and the Gender Politics of Knowledge in Colonial Mexico

Sor Juana In de la Cruz and the Gender Politics of Knowledge in Colonial Mexico

Each of the book's five chapters evokes a colonial Mexican cultural and intellectual sphere: the library anatomy and medicine spirituality classical learning and publishing and printing. Using an array of literary texts and historical documents and alongside secondary historical and critical materials the author Stephanie Kirk demonstrates how Sor Juana used her poetry and other works to inscribe herself within the discourses associated with these cultural institutions and discursive spheres and thus challenge the male exclusivity of their precepts and precincts. Kirk illustrates how Sor Juana subverted the masculine character of erudition writing herself into an all-male community of scholars. From there Sor Juana clearly questions the gender politics at play in her exclusion and undermines what seems to be the inextricable link previously forged between masculinity and institutional knowledge. Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and the Gender Politics of Knowledge in Colonial Mexico opens up new readings of her texts through the lens of cultural and intellectual history and material culture in order to shed light on the production of knowledge in the seventeenth-century colonial Mexican society of which she was both a product and an anomaly. | Sor Juana In�de la Cruz and the Gender Politics of Knowledge in Colonial Mexico
