colloquially, fuku--generally a curse or a doom of some kind; specifically the Curse and the Doom of the New World. Also called the fuku of the Admiral because the Admiral was both its midwife and one of its greatest European victims; despite "discovering" the New World the Admiral died miserable and syphilitic, hearing (dique) divine voices. In Santo Domingo, the Land He Loved Best (what Oscar, at the end, would call the Ground Zero of the New World), the Admiral's very name has become synonymous
generation of readers—and authors, magical realism in Latin American literature, pioneered by Borges, was drawn most accurately by Marquez. The first sentence of the book, which describes the Colonel's memory about discovering ice, is the most obvious and often cited trope for magical realism. The extended life span of several characters, the ascent of Remedios the Beauty and the wondrous objects brought by the gypsies are less often cited as vivid magical realism examples. The magic, however,
García-Márquez, specifically through the use of incest and pedophilia. These sexual taboos act as symbols for the isolation of the main character and help to explain the actions of the Buendías as well as the cycles that the family is stuck in. García-Márquez uses incest within the characters as a symbol in order to push the Buendía family further into their solitude, emphasizing the idea that they are isolated in their small town of Macondo. Through the use of magical realism García-Márquez takes a sexual
Mexican drama film, “Y Tu Mamá Tambien,” the complexities of love and sex are confronted. In both movies the filmmakers used omniscient narrators and produced imagery in international film that in its own right, encompasses the paradigms of foreign culture while simultaneously connecting artistic entertainment. After watching both, I will analyze the film components, providing a perspective of the essential elements used by the filmmakers in each. The concept used in Amélie is a 3-Act Structure, which
Murakami was struck by sensations of perplexity. He illustrates his credibility through recounting the events leading to his establishment as an author, including discovering his passion, confusion, financial struggles, and insecurity. Murakami takes all of these hardships of human living and includes them in his works, reaching out to many readers. When my friend Jacob, who studies Japanese language and culture, asked for book recommendations, of course I suggested Murakami. Similar to me,
An ugly and frightening old woman crouches ominously over a big worn cauldron, set over a crackling red fire. Her skin is wrinkled, cragged and coloured in a strange tone that isn't quite natural, and her face features a long and crooked nose, adorned with a few erratic warts. She is wearing a long black robe that has seen better days, and a tall conical hat with a large rim covers her untidy hair. She concentrates on her cauldron, in which some unwholesome-looking liquid is boiling and sending off
What Makes a Social Class? On The Theoretical and Practical Existence Of Groups* By Pierre BoQrdieu It would be easy and tempting to deride the topic of this symposium and to uncover the presuppositions it conceals under its apparent neutrality. But if you will allow me just one criticism of the way it formulates the question of social class, it is that it misleads one to believe that this problem can be reduced to a simple choice and resolved by a few common-sense arguments. In fact, behind the
muddy lanes”(20), in “dark dripping gardens” (21) near “dark odorous stables” (22) and “ashpits” (22). The boys’ life was the same as what it was suggested in the first paragraph. They could not go anywhere except this stagnant city. Scanning through the story, the readers could easily see that all the scenes in this story often happened in the dark setting. Joyce used such setting to express his intention when he wrote the stories “Dubliners”. He wanted to “write a chapter in the moral history”
