Gender and the Self in Latin American Literature

Gender and the Self in Latin American Literature

This book explores six texts from across Spanish America in which the coming-of-age story ('Bildungsroman') offers a critique of gendered selfhood as experienced in the region’s socio-cultural contexts. Looking at a range of novels from the late twentieth century Staniland explores thematic concerns in terms of their role in elucidating a literary journey towards agency: that is towards the articulation of a socially and personally viable female gendered identity mindful of both the hegemonic discourses that constrain it and the possibility of their deconstruction and reconfiguration. Myth exile and the female body are the three central themes for understanding the personal social and political aims of the Post-Boom women writers whose work is explored in this volume: Isabel Allende Laura Esquivel Ángeles Mastretta Sylvia Molloy Cristina Peri Rossi and Zoé Valdés. Their adoption and adaptation of an originally eighteenth-century and European literary genre is seen here to reshape the global canon as much as it works to reshape our understanding of gendered identities as socially constructed culturally contingent and open-ended. | Gender and the Self in Latin American Literature

Jung on Astrology

Jung on Astrology

Jung on Astrology brings together C. G. Jung’s thoughts on astrology in a single volume for the first time significantly adding to our understanding of Jung’s work. Jung’s Collected Works seminars and letters contain numerous discussions of this ancient divinatory system and Jung himself used astrological horoscopes as a diagnostic tool in his analytic practice. Understood in terms of his own psychology as a symbolic representation of the archetypes of the collective unconscious Jung found in astrology a wealth of spiritual and psychological meaning and suggested it represents the sum of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity. The selections and editorial introductions by Safron Rossi and Keiron Le Grice address topics that were of critical importance to Jung—such as the archetypal symbolism in astrology the precession of the equinoxes and astrological ages astrology as a form of synchronicity and acausal correspondence the qualitative nature of time and the experience of astrological fate—allowing readers to assess astrology’s place within the larger corpus of Jung’s work and its value as a source of symbolic meaning for our time. The book will be of great interest to analytical psychologists Jungian psychotherapists and academics and students of depth psychology Jungian and post-Jungian studies as well as to astrologers and therapists of other orientations especially transpersonal.

Architectural Drawings as Investigating Devices explores how the changing modes of representation in architecture and urbanism relate to the transformation of how the addressees of architecture and urbanism are conceived. The book diagnoses the dominant epistemological debates in architecture and urbanism during the 20th and 21st centuries. It traces their transformations paying special attention to Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s preference for perspective representation to the diagrams of Team 10 architects to the critiques of functionalism and the upgrade of the artefactual value of architectural drawings in Aldo Rossi John Hejduk Peter Eisenman and Oswald Mathias Ungers and finally to the reinvention of architectural programme through the event in Bernard Tschumi and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA). Particular emphasis is placed on the spirit of truth and clarity in modernist architecture the relationship between the individual and the community in post-war era architecture the decodification of design process as syntactic analogy and the paradigm of autonomy in the 1970s and 1980s architecture the concern about the dynamic character of urban conditions and the potentialities hidden in architectural programme in the post-autonomy era. This book is based on extensive archival research in Canada the USA and Europe and will be of interest to architects artists researchers and students in architecture architectural history theory cultural theory philosophy and aesthetics. | Architectural Drawings as Investigating Devices Architecture’s Changing Scope in the 20th Century
