Cómo entender y cómo enseñar por y para
by Luis H. GonzálezCómo entender y como enseñar por y para explora muchos de los problemas que los profesores/as encuentran cuando enseñan el uso de estas dos preposiciones. Este libro proporciona un marco de referencia para la comprensión de las sutilezas entre las dos preposiciones, de manera que los profesores/as podrán ayudarles a los estudiantes a aproximarse a la manera cómo los hablantes nativos/as escogen intuitivamente cuál usar en cualquier situación. Este libro muestra con ejemplos de cuatro autores/as distintos que una regla de punto final intencional (destino, fecha límite, meta, objetivo, propósito, recipiente o uso) explica el 95% de los usos de para. Trescientos ejemplos de Corpes XXI y otros 262 ejemplos de tres novelas distintas muestran que dos reglas (causa e intervalo de espacio/de tiempo) explican el 80% de los usos de por. En este libro no se ejemplifican las reglas; más bien, se formulan desde abajo las reglas necesarias para explicar más de 600 ejemplos auténticos de por o para de novelas y de Corpes XXI. Diseñado para los profesores/as de español como segunda lengua, el procedimiento de construcción de las reglas delineado en el libro mejorará la manera cómo se les enseñará a los estudiantes por y para. Además, las conexiones hechas a través del libro servirán como un modelo para entender mejor otras dicotomías de la gramática del español.

Dada as Text, Thought and Theory
by Stephen ForcerThe Dada movement, revered as perhaps the purest form of cultural subversion and provocation in 20th-century Europe, has been a victim of the readiness with which cultural historians have swallowed its own propaganda. Based on extensive close analysis of French-language Dada work in its original form, and offering English translations throughout, this major reappraisal looks at a broad range of media and topics - including poetry, film, philosophy, and quantum physics - in order to get beyond Dada's typecasting as avant-garde anti-hero. Work by women writers and other marginalized figures combines with that of canonical Dadaists to present Dada in a radically new set of guises: poetic and textually subtle; intellectually and philosophically meaningful; peaceable and quasi-Buddhist; and, perhaps most uncomfortably of all, conformist and reactionary.
Dada's Subject and Structure: Performing Ideology Poorly
by Brandon PelcherDada’s Subject and Structure argues that Dadaist praxis was far more theoretically incisive than previous scholarship has indicated. The book combines theoretical frameworks surrounding ideological subject formation with critical media and genre histories in order to more closely read Dadaist techniques (e.g. montage, irony, nonsense, etc.) across multiple works. These readings reveal both Dada’s preternatural focus on the discursive aspects of subject formation—linguistic sign, literary manifesto, photographic image, commodity form/aesthetics, which comprise the project’s chapters—and on Dada’s performative sabotage and subversion of them. In addition to highlighting commonalities between Dadaist works, artists, and chapters previously imagined disparate, the book shows how Dada simultaneously prefigured structuralist theories of subject formation and pre-performed post-structuralist critiques of those theories.

Dante and Epicurus: A Dualistic Vision of Secular and Spiritual Fulfilment
by George Corbett"Dante and Epicurus seem poles apart. Dante, a committed Christian, depicted in the Commedia a vision of the afterlife and God's divine justice. Epicurus, a pagan philosopher, taught that the soul is mortal and that all religion is vain superstition. And yet Epicurus is, for Dante, not only the quintessential heretic but an ethical ally. The key to this apparent paradox lies in the heterodox dualism - between man's two goals of secular felicity and spiritual beatitude - at the heart of Dante's ethical, political and theological thought. Corbett's full-length treatment of Dante's reception and polemical representation of Epicurus addresses a major gap in the scholarship. Furthermore the study's focus on fault lines in Dante's vision of the afterlife- where the theological tensions implicit in his dualism surface - opens a new way to read the Commedia as a whole in dualistic terms."

Dante's Plurilingualism: Authority, Knowledge, Subjectivity
by Sara FortunaDante's conception of language is encompassed in all his works and can be understood in terms of a strenuous defence of the volgare in tension with the prestige of Latin. By bringing together different approaches, from literary studies to philosophy and history, from aesthetics to queer studies, from psychoanalysis to linguistics, this volume offers new critical insights on the question of Dantes language, engaging with both the philosophical works characterized by an original project of vulgarization, and the poetic works, which perform a new language in an innovative and self-reflexive way. In particular, Dantes Plurilingualism explores the rich and complex way in which Dantes linguistic theory and praxis both informs and reflects an original configuration of the relationship between authority, knowledge and identity that continues to be fascinated by an ideal of unity but is also imbued with a strong element of subjectivity and opens up towards multiplicity and modernity.
