Pasar fijándose
by Carolina SaninUna recopilación de las mejores columnas de Carolina Sanín Pasar fijándose reúne las mejores columnas de Carolina Sanín. Publicadas desde el año 2008 en medios como El Espectador, Arcadia, Vice, Credencial y Semana Sostenible, no han dejado de cautivar a sus lectores, no sólo por los temas que aborda (feminismo, política, medio ambiente, cine, literatura, y muchos otros de difícil clasifificación), sino por el origen de esa variedad: la atención, el interés, la seriedad con que mira el mundo. "Desde que encontré la literatura y el pensamiento de Sanín no he dejado nunca de asombrarme ante el refinadísimo lente a través del cual mira las cosas. Su mirada es penetrante y fractal; desemboca en otras miradas que, a su vez, siguen derivándose. Ese sentido del infifinito es lo que siento cuando leo cualquier cosa que ella escribe. Un día me atreví a preguntarle: "¿Cómo haces?", y ella me contestó: "No sé, es como rezar"". Margarita Rosa de Francisco "Carolina Sanín fija la mirada para que sus palabras desnuden y limpien de obviedades a personas, temas y objetos. Y fija la mirada a partir de una curiosidad panorámica, que la convierte en una de las voces más originales, libres y retadoras hoy en día. Los lectores agradecemos el reto". Félix de Bedout La crítica ha dicho de Somos luces abismales "Una quisiera susurrar ciertas frases para sentir el ritmo subterráneo que marca el encuentro entre las palabras, la memoria y la imaginación, y que hace que la lectura de los textos de Carolina Sanín atraviese tanto la contemplación como la fábula". Gabriela Alemán "Uno no lee a Carolina Sanín. Uno se va con ella a ver, a pensar, a vivir". William Ospina "La originalidad de su indagación y la casi inconcebible belleza de su español hacen de Sanín una de las grandes escritoras de nuestro tiempo". Marianne Ponsford "En este libro se revela como una escritora cuya forma de lucidez es la poesía. Cada palabra es un placer". Alma Guillermoprieto "Cualquier discusión sobre la calidad de la prosa actual en español debería comenzar por Somos luces abismales. […] Sanín recupera y renueva la idea clásica del ensayo". Edmundo Paz Soldán
Pascal and Theology
by Jan MielOriginally published in 1970. The question of man's freedom to exercise his will—as active an issue among twentieth-century philosophers and theologians as it was in the Jesuit and Jansenist camps known to Pascal—is basic to this study. Pascal's theological thinking, which Professor Miel demonstrates to be the source of unity and coherence in virtually all phases of his thought, is preoccupied by a concern for man's limitations. In his analysis of Pascal's theology, Miel is concerned not only with characterizing Pascal's theological position but also with evaluating it in terms of the history of the church. In a concise and lucid review of the Christian doctrine of grace from the pre-Augustinians through the Renaissance, the author identifies the intellectual-theological atmosphere that created the need for Pascal's strong defense of Augustinian theology. Miel considers Pascal's Écrits sur la grâce, Lettres provincials, and Pensées as well as shorter compositions and correspondence. He establishes the content of Pascal's vision of grace and free will, noting both its originality and its sense of history. Most importantly, he asserts that Pascal's affirmation of Jansenism predated his association with Port Royal and, indeed, was basic to all his adult thought and work. The author finds in the writings of Pascal a style that anticipates twentieth-century theology, a sophistication that belies charges of Pascal's theological naïveté, and a concern to uphold rather than to undermine doctrinal traditions of the church.
Pascal the Philosopher
by Graeme HunterBlaise Pascal has always been appreciated as a literary giant and a religious guide, but has received only grudging recognition as a philosopher: philosophers have mistaken Pascal's harsh criticism of their discipline as a rejection of it. But according to Graeme Hunter, Pascal's critics have simply failed to grasp his lean, but powerful conception of philosophy. This accessibly written book provides the first introduction to Pascal's philosophy as an organic whole.Hunter argues that Pascal's aim is not merely to humble philosophy, but to save it from a kind of failure to which it is prone. He lays out Pascal's development of a more promising and fruitful path for philosophical inquiry, one that responded to the scientific, religious, and political upheaval of his time. Finally, Hunter illuminates Pascal's significance for contemporary readers, allowing him to emerge as the rare philosopher who is spiritual, literary, and rigorous all at once - both a brilliant controversialist and a thinker of substance.
Paseos nocturnos (Serie Great Ideas #Volumen 25)
by Charles DickensIdeas que han cambiado el mundo. A lo largo de la historia, algunos libros han cambiado el mundo. Han transformado la manera en que nos vemos a nosotros mismos y a los demás. Han inspirado el debate, la discordia, la guerra y la revolución. Han iluminado, indignado, provocado y consolado. Han enriquecido vidas, y también las han destruido. Taurus publica las obras de los grandes pensadores, pioneros, radicales y visionarios cuyas ideas sacudieron la civilización y nos impulsaron a ser quienes somos. Charles Dickens describe en Paseos nocturnos la época en la que, en busca de una cura para el insomnio, se dedicó a caminar por Londres a altas horas de la madrugada, descubriendo los problemas de indigencia, alcoholismo y vicio que escondían sus calles. Esta recopilación de ensayos muestra a Dickens como uno de los grandes visionarios de la ciudad, en toda su diversidad y crueldad. Comentarios sobre la colección Great Ideas:«De veras que la edición es primorosa y pocas veces contenido y continente pueden encontrarse mejor ensamblados y unidos. ¡Qué portadas! Para enmarcar.

Pasiones pasadas
by Javier MaríasPasiones pasadas fue el primer libro de artículos de Javier Marías, y en él ya se vio que el autor no trata la realidad de manera muy distinta que la ficción. Pasiones pasadas(1991), la primera recopilación de artículos seleccionados por el autor para ser publicados en forma de libro, es la muestra primigenia de una labor que aún no ha abandonado y en la que se mueve como pez en el agua. Aquí, organizados en apartados temáticos, podemos encontrar textos viajeros, en los que Javier Marías nos lleva a sus ciudades -Venecia y Oxford, Barcelona y Madrid-; otros de afinidades y afectos, como aquellos en los que nos habla de personajes y amigos -Benet y Villena, su tío el cineasta Jess Frank y su amigo Aliocha Coll-, pero también escritos sobre las particularidades de la sociedad española y sobre el difícil arte de escribir y no morir en el intento. En todos ellos, fruto según su autor de «la vehemencia o pasión de un instante», encontramos, tras su prosa inconfundible, una mirada que, aun siendo capaz de distanciarse, tiene como objetivo comprometerse, implicarse, opinar. Reseña: «Al recorrer en este libro trabajos de los últimos seis años, se aprecia bien en qué medida una labor como la suya contribuye a elevar, desde la prensa más diversa, la temperatura intelectual del país.»Ignacio Echevarría, El País
Pasolini after Dante: The 'Divine Mimesis' and the Politics of Representation (Legenda)
by Emanuela PattiWhat role did Dante play in the work of Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975)? His unfinished and fragmented imitation of the Comedia, La Divina Mimesis, is only one outward sign of what was a sustained dialogue with Dante on representation begun in the early 1950s. During this period, the philologists Gianfranco Contini (1912-1990) and Erich Auerbach (1892-1957) played a crucial role in Pasolini’s re-thinking of ‘represented reality’, suggesting Dante as the best literary, authorial and political model for a generation of postwar Italian writers. This emerged first as ‘Dantean realism’ in Pasolini’s prose and poetry, after Contini’s interpretation of Dante and of his plurilingualism, and then as ‘figural realism’ in his cinema, after Auerbach’s concepts of Dante’s figura and ‘mingling of styles’. Following the evolution of Pasolini’s mimetic ideal from these formative influences through to La Divina Mimesis, Emanuela Patti explores Pasolini’s politics of representation in relation to the ‘national-popular’, the ‘questione della lingua’ and the Italian post-war debates on neorealism, while also providing a new interpretation of some of his major literary and cinematic works.

Passing Fancies in Jewish American Literature and Culture (Jewish Literature and Culture)
by Judith RudermanThis scholarly study explores the conflicting forces of assimilation and cultural heritage in literary portrayals of Jewish American identity.In Passing Fancies in Jewish American Literature and Culture Judith Ruderman takes on the fraught question of who passes for Jewish in American literature and culture. In today’s contemporary political climate, religious and racial identities are being reconceived as responses to culture and environment, rather than essential qualities. Many Jews continue to hold conflicting ideas about their identity?seeking deep engagement with Jewish history and the experiences of the Jewish people while holding steadfastly to the understanding that identity is fluid and multivalent.Looking at carefully chosen texts from American literature, Ruderman elaborates on the strategies Jews have used to “pass” from the late nineteenth century to the present?nose jobs, renaming, clothing changes, religious and racial reclassification, and even playing baseball. While traversing racial and religious identities has always been a feature of America’s nation of immigrants, Ruderman shows how the complexities of identity formation and deformation are critically relevant during this important cultural moment.
Passing Interest: Racial Passing in US Novels, Memoirs, Television, and Film, 1990-2010 (SUNY series in Multiethnic Literatures)
by Julie Cary NeradThe first volume to focus on the trope of racial passing in novels, memoirs, television, and films published or produced between 1990 and 2010, Passing Interest takes the scholarly conversation on passing into the twenty-first century. With contributors working in the fields of African American studies, American studies, cultural studies, film studies, literature, and media studies, this book offers a rich, interdisciplinary survey of critical approaches to a broad range of contemporary passing texts. Contributors frame recent passing texts with a wide array of cultural discourses, including immigration law, the Post-Soul Aesthetic, contemporary political satire, affirmative action, the paradoxes of "colorblindness," and the rhetoric of "post-racialism." Many explore whether "one drop" of blood still governs our sense of racial identity, or to what extent contemporary American culture allows for the racially indeterminate individual. Some essays open the scholarly conversation to focus on "ethnic" passers—individuals who complicate the traditional black-white binary—while others explore the slippage between traditional racial passing and related forms of racial performance, including blackface minstrelsy and racial masquerade.
Passing Judgment: The Politics and Poetics of Sovereignty in French Tragedy from Hardy to Racine
by Helene E. BilisThe royal judge was an archetypal character in French tragedy during the 17th century. This figure impersonated the king by asserting his judicial authority and bringing order to an otherwise chaotic world.In Passing Judgment, Hélène Bilis examines how an overlooked character-type--the royal judge--remained a constant of the tragic genre throughout the 17th century, although the specifics of his role and position fluctuated as playwrights experimented with changing models of sovereignty onstage. Her readings analyze how this royal decision-maker stood at the intersection of political and theatrical debates, and evolved through a process of trial and error in which certain portrayals of kingship were deemed obsolete and were discarded, while others were promoted as culturally allowable and resonant. In tracing the royal judge's persistent presence and transformation, Bilis argues that we can better grasp the weighty political stakes of theatrical representations under the ancien régime.
Passing Orders: Demonology and Sovereignty in American Spiritual Warfare
by S. Jonathon O'DonnellDemonization has increasingly become central to the global religious and political landscape. Passing Orders interrogates this centrality through an analysis of evangelical “spiritual warfare” demonologies in contemporary America. Situating spiritual warfare as part of broader frameworks of American exceptionalism, ethnonationalism, and empire management, author S. Jonathon O’Donnell exposes the theological foundations of the systems of queer- and transphobia, anti-blackness, Islamophobia, and settler colonialism that justify the dehumanizing practices of the current U.S. political order.O’Donnell argues that demonologies are not only tools of dehumanization but also ontological and biopolitical systems that create and maintain structures of sovereign power, or orthotaxies—models of the “right ordering” of space, time, and bodies that stratify humanity into hierarchies of being and nonbeing. Alternative orders are demonized as passing, framed as counterfeit, transgressive, and transient. Yet these orders refuse to simply pass on, instead giving strength to deviant desires that challenge the legitimacy of sovereign violence. Critically examining this challenge in the demonologies of three figures—Jezebel, the Islamic Antichrist, and Leviathan—Passing Orders re-imagines demons as a surprising source of political and social resistance, reflecting fragile and fractious communities bound by mutual passing and precarity into strategic coalitions of solidarity, subversion, and survival.
Passing and the Fictions of Identity
by Elaine K. GinsbergPassing refers to the process whereby a person of one race, gender, nationality, or sexual orientation adopts the guise of another. Historically, this has often involved black slaves passing as white in order to gain their freedom. More generally, it has served as a way for women and people of color to access male or white privilege. In their examination of this practice of crossing boundaries, the contributors to this volume offer a unique perspective for studying the construction and meaning of personal and cultural identities. These essays consider a wide range of texts and moments from colonial times to the present that raise significant questions about the political motivations inherent in the origins and maintenance of identity categories and boundaries. Through discussions of such literary works as Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom, The Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man, Uncle Tom's Cabin, The Hidden Hand, Black Like Me, and Giovanni's Room, the authors examine issues of power and privilege and ways in which passing might challenge the often rigid structures of identity politics. Their interrogation of the semiotics of behavior, dress, language, and the body itself contributes significantly to an understanding of national, racial, gender, and sexual identity in American literature and culture. Contextualizing and building on the theoretical work of such scholars as Judith Butler, Diana Fuss, Marjorie Garber, and Henry Louis Gates Jr. , Passing and the Fictions of Identity will be of value to students and scholars working in the areas of race, gender, and identity theory, as well as U. S. history and literature. Contributors. Martha Cutter, Katharine Nicholson Ings, Samira Kawash, Adrian Piper, Valerie Rohy, Marion Rust, Julia Stern, Gayle Wald, Ellen M. Weinauer, Elizabeth Young
Passing for Spain: CERVANTES AND THE FICTIONS OF IDENTITY
by Barbara FuchsPassing for Spain charts the intersections of identity, nation, and literary representation in early modern Spain. Barbara Fuchs analyzes the trope of passing in Don Quijote and other works by Cervantes, linking the use of disguise to the broader historical and social context of Counter-Reformation Spain and the religious and political dynamics of the Mediterranean Basin. In five lucid and engaging chapters, Fuchs examines what passes in Cervantes's fiction: gender and race in Don Quijote and "Las dos doncellas"; religion in "El amante liberal" and La gran sultana; national identity in the Persiles and "La española inglesa." She argues that Cervantes represents cross-cultural impersonation -- or characters who pass for another gender, nationality, or religion -- as challenges to the state's attempts to assign identities and categories to proper Spanish subjects. Fuchs demonstrates the larger implications of this challenge by bringing a wide range of literary and political texts to bear on Cervantes's representations. Impeccably researched, Passing for Spain examines how the fluidity of individual identity in early modern Spain undermined a national identity based on exclusion and difference.

Passionate Communities: Reading Lesbian Resistance in Jane Rule's Fiction (The Cutting Edge: Lesbian Life and Literature Series)
by Marilyn R. SchusterIn this new full-length study of Jane Rule's life and work, Marilyn Schuster argues that Rule's novels provide a way of "writing and reading lesbian" that resists and subverts dominant discourses of gender and sexuality-both those of mainstream culture and of political and sexual subcultures. From her earliest novel, Desert of the Heart (1964), Rule's fiction has provided a challenge to the concept of a fixed identity and to the identity politics founded on such a concept. Incorporating all of Jane Rule's early work-including unpublished manuscripts, letters, magazine and newspaper columns, as well as fan mail she received-Schuster also draws on interviews, conversations, and personal encounters with the author to elicit the ways in which Rule interrogates the meanings and politics of sexuality, the relationship between sexuality and language, and the stakes of communities in individual claims on identity. Passionate Communities is a thorough, engaging, and long-overdue study of an important voice in lesbian literature and gay and lesbian politics.
Passionate Intelligence: Imagination and Reason in the Work of Samuel Johnson
by Arieh SachsOriginally published in 1967. Professor Sachs shows the inner coherence of Samuel Johnson's thought by pointing out the interconnectedness of his remarks on religious, moral, aesthetic, political, and psychological subjects. Reason and imagination, the central concepts in the Johnsonian ethos, are elucidated with reference to "vacuity," "attention," "novelty," "diversity," and other words to which Johnson attached special significance. Johnson emerges as an original thinker of the English Christian-humanist heritage; he "is to be read in the same spirit as Pascal." Primarily concerned with the relation between Johnson's ideas and the long tradition of which they are the culmination, Sachs also emphasizes the relevance of Johnson's thought to the twentieth century.
Passionate Playgoing in Early Modern England
by Allison P. HobgoodAllison P. Hobgood tells a new story about the emotional experiences of theatregoers in Renaissance England. Through detailed case studies of canonical plays by Shakespeare, Jonson, Kyd and Heywood, the reader will discover what it felt like to be part of performances in English theatre and appreciate the key role theatregoers played in the life of early modern drama. How were spectators moved - by delight, fear or shame, for example - and how did their own reactions in turn make an impact on stage performances? Addressing these questions and many more, this book discerns not just how theatregoers were altered by drama's affective encounters, but how they were undeniable influences upon those encounters. Overall, Hobgood reveals a unique collaboration between the English world and stage, one that significantly reshapes the ways we watch, read and understand early modern drama.
