ACTITUDES QUE SANAN (EBOOK)
by Alberto LoizagaEste libro es una guía para darnos cuenta de que no nos hace falta nada más para ser felices. Propone encontrarnos a nosotros mismos a través de la meditación, que nos conecta con lo más puro de nuestro ser. Somos al mismo tiempo los guionistas, directores, productores y actores de nuestra existencia. La esencia de la vida es el cambio y el desapego es la condición para poder vivir ese cambio. Vivir en el presente, liberándonos de las ataduras del pasado y de las ansiedades del futuro, es el gran desafío. Un trabajo que se consigue gracias a la práctica de las doce actitudes que sanan que propone el doctor Alberto Lóizaga, pionero en la introducción de la meditación en la Argentina. Al terminar este libro y ejercitar sus técnicas ya no estarás más triste, de malhumor o con miedo, habrás encontrado tu ser. Ser uno mismo implica estar en conexión con una fuente de felicidad permanente e incondicional. "De forma reveladora, Alberto comparte sus luchas personales y muestra cuán fácil es caer y dejarse atrapar por la telaraña del propio ego. Pero también demuestra que es posible desprenderse de esa red de pensamientos y encontrar la libertad. Expresa con profunda simpleza cómo practicar la sabiduría de las técnicas orientales como la meditación trascendental y las prácticas de no-meditación, aplicando los doce principios de las actitudes que sanan, para reconocernos como amor y como energía que no cambia: la de la luz de nuestra eterna conciencia humana. Este libro transformará la vida de quien aplique los conocimientos vertidos en él con la intención de sanar sus mentes." Del prólogo de Gerald Jampolsky, fundador de Attitudinal Healing "Integra la sabiduría oriental al poder del "ahora" en las actitudes cotidianas... imperdible."

Activated Script Analysis: An Integrative Approach to Play Analysis through Creative Expression and Devised Theatre
by Elizabeth Brendel HornActivated Script Analysis engages theatre students in traditional formative script analysis through a fusion of devised theatre and various modes of creative expression, dispelling the notion of script analysis as an isolated pen-to-paper task and reimagining it as a captivating and collaborative process. This book uses diverse, contemporary plays to model the script analysis process for each of four Theatrical Elements: Given Circumstances; Character; Setting; and Structure. By considering each of these elements, readers can uncover patterns and themes within a dramatic text. Woven throughout the study of each theatrical element are "Connections": Personal Connections, which encourage readers to explore a theatrical element within their own lives, as though their lives were a script; Play Connections, which make abstract ideas presented in script analysis concrete through theatre-based play; Professional Connections, which examine how a theatre professional might analyze a script within their own work; and Performative Connections, which provide the opportunity for students to explore a theatrical element through performance using devised theatre strategies. At the end of each chapter, readers are given the opportunity to analyze a text through the lens of a Theatrical Element and to express their findings through a variety of digital, written, visual, and performance-based modes of expression. Activated Script Analysis is designed for undergraduate theatre students and educators, to be used as the primary text in Script Analysis coursework or as a supplemental text in Acting or Directing courses. The book includes access to downloadable templates and example videos, available at www.routledge.com/9781032125398.

If Zenaida is—or was—still alive, it means there’s even more about Marisa’s past that she doesn’t know.And when everyone from Los Angeles gangs to the world’s largest genetic engineering firms becomes involved in the case, it’s clear there’s more happening under the surface than anyone cares to admit.The truth is out there, and Marisa will have to thread together lost friends, corporate assassins, a gang lord’s digital brain, and what might be a literal ghost from the past in order to find it.
Active Service
by Stephen CraneMARJORY walked pensively along the hall. In the cool shadows made by the palms on the window ledge, her face wore the expression of thoughtful melancholy expected on the faces of the devotees who pace in cloistered gloom. <P>> <P> She halted before a door at the end of the hall and laid her hand on the knob. She stood hesitating, her head bowed. It was evident that this mission was to require great fortitude. At last she opened the door. "Father," she began at once. There was disclosed an elderly, narrow-faced man seated at a large table and surrounded by manu-scripts and books. The sunlight flowing through curtains of Turkey red fell sanguinely upon the bust of dead-eyed Pericles on the mantle. A little clock was ticking, hidden somewhere among the countless leaves of writing, the maps and broad heavy tomes that swarmed upon the table.

Activism and the American Novel: Religion and Resistance in Fiction by Women of Color
by Channette RomeroSince the 1980s, many activists and writers have turned from identity politics toward ethnic religious traditions to rediscover and reinvigorate their historic role in resistance to colonialism and oppression. In her examination of contemporary fiction by women of color—including Toni Morrison, Ana Castillo, Toni Cade Bambara, Louise Erdrich, and Leslie Marmon Silko—Channette Romero considers the way these novels newly engage with Vodun, Santería, Candomblé, and American Indian traditions. Critical of a widespread disengagement from civic participation and of the contemporary novel’s disconnection from politics, this fiction attempts to transform the novel and the practice of reading into a means of political engagement and an inspiration for social change.
The Activist Humanist: Form and Method in the Climate Crisis
by Caroline LevineAn argument that humanists have the tools—and the responsibility—to mobilize political power to tackle climate changeAs climate catastrophes intensify, why do literary and cultural studies scholars so often remain committed to the separation of aesthetic study from the nitty-gritty of political change? In this thought-provoking book, Caroline Levine makes the case for an alternative view, arguing that humanists have the tools to mobilize political power—and the responsibility to use those tools to avert the worst impacts of global warming. Building on the theory developed in her award-winning book, Forms, Levine shows how formalist methods can be used in the fight for climate justice.Countering scholars in the environmental humanities who embrace only “modest gestures of care”—and who seem to have moved directly to “mourning” our inevitable environmental losses—Levine argues that large-scale, practical environmental activism should be integral to humanists’ work. She identifies three major infrastructural forms crucial to sustaining collective life: routines, pathways, and enclosures. Crisscrossing between art works and public works—from urban transportation to television series and from food security programs to rhyming couplets—she considers which forms might support stability and predictability in the face of growing precarity. Finally, bridging the gap between academic and practical work, Levine offers a series of questions and exercises intended to guide readers into political action. The Activist Humanist provides an essential handbook for prospective activist-scholars.
Activities of Daily Living: A Novel
by Lisa Hsiao ChenFinalist for the 2023 PEN/Hemingway Award for Debut Novel Finalist for the 2023 Gotham Book Prize Longlisted for the 2023 Carol Shields Prize Longlisted for the 2022 Center for Fiction First Novel Prize A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice A Vogue Best Book of the Year A "beguiling and brilliant" (Viet Thanh Nguyen) debut novel on the interconnection between art, work, care, and the passage of time.How do we take stock of a life—by what means, and by what measure? This is the question that preoccupies Alice, a Taiwanese immigrant in her late thirties. In the off-hours from her day job, Alice struggles to create a project about the enigmatic downtown performance artist Tehching Hsieh and his monumental, yearlong 1980s performance pieces. Meanwhile, she becomes the caretaker for her aging stepfather, a Vietnam vet whose dream of making traditional Chinese furniture dissolved in alcoholism and dementia.As Alice roots deeper into Hsieh’s radical use of time—in one piece, the artist confined himself to a cell for a year; in the next, he punched a time clock every hour, on the hour, for a year—and his mysterious disappearance from the art world, her project starts metabolizing events from her own life. She wanders from subway rides to street protests, loses touch with a friend, and tenderly observes her father’s slow decline.Moving between present-day and 1980s New York City, with detours to Silicon Valley and the Venice Biennale, this vivid debut announces Lisa Hsiao Chen as an audacious new talent. Activities of Daily Living is a lucid, intimate examination of the creative life and the passage of time.

El acto de leer
by Wolfgang IserEl nuevo clásico radical, un texto esencial de la teoría literaria que cambiará nuestra manera de entender la lectura. «¿Qué le sucede al lector cuando da vida a un texto? Iser comenzó planteando preguntas sobre los efectos que desencadenan los libros y acabó concluyendo que sin nosotros, sin los lectores, no existiría la literatura».Cristina Oñoro Wolfgang Iser defendió que el sentido y la potencia de las obras nacen de la interacción con el lector. Sus ideas sobre la lectura y los espacios vacíos del texto abrieron un mundo de posibilidades y mostraron hasta qué punto los libros pueden reclamar nuestra presencia e implicación. Este texto de referencia para la teoría literaria contemporánea, que entabló un intenso diálogo con las principales corrientes de su tiempo, supuso un cambio esencial en nuestra mirada sobre la literatura y el arte en general.

Actors and Acting in Shakespeare's Time
by John H. AstingtonJohn Astington brings the acting style of the Shakespearean period to life, describing and analysing the art of the player in the English professional theatre between Richard Tarlton and Thomas Betterton.

A comprehensive biographical dictionary of all major professional players of the Shakespearean period is included as a handy reference guide.

The Actor's Guide To Greed
by Rick CoppGetting butchered at the hands of a serial killer in the "high concept" slasher film, Creeps, was supposed to revive former child star Jarrod Jarvis's career. Instead, it's a celluloid Titanic. While nursing his wounds at the post-premiere party at a Starbucks on Beverly Boulevard, Jarrod runs into Wallace Goodwin, one of the former writers on Go to Your Room, the beloved eighties show that made Jarrod a star. He's shocked to discover that the neurotic, egotistical Wallace has penned a play bound for London's West End, with a scene-stealing part for Jarrod. Faster than he can say his catchphrase, "Baby, don't even go there!" Jarrod's hitting the boards in London. . . and the boards are hitting back, big time. As much as the actors all seem to loathe one another, they truly resent Jarrod. The hotshot young director with a thing for girls named Kate berates him at every turn. British legend Dame Sylvia Horner is so sloshed she can barely read her lines. Bollywood beefcake Akshay Kapoor's one facial expression seems to be handsome glowering--when he isn't making eyes at Jarrod's hunky LAPD boyfriend, Charlie. And since coming out has made him hot again, Sir Anthony Stiles wastes no time "tutoring" every young actor in a twelve-mile radius. Jarrod's only friend in the cast is the formidable Claire Richards. The sexy, forty-something, champagne-swilling, Oscar-winning actress is the undisputed star of the show. No one can play a death scene like La Claire. Except that this time, the diva isn't faking it. She's been poisoned, and the last person to see her alive was Jarrod himself. . . Outrageous, wild, and absolutely fabulous, Rick Copp's The Actor's Guide to Greed skewers everything in its path and serves it up with mango chutney--proof positive that when the tart-tongued Jarrod Jarvis is on the case, the buzz is very, very good.

Actos de habla
by Jaime SilesUna reflexión sobre la melancolía del ego, entendido como «yo lírico». Un acto del lenguaje y, como tal, una expresión del tiempo y la experiencia intelectual a través de la palabra. XIII Premio de poesía Ciudad de Torrevieja Actos de habla se compone de 11 poemas que giran en torno a la identidad, el tiempo y la palabra. Algunos de los poemas se gestaron en la ciudad de Florencia, donde el autor pasó una temporada, y que es uno de los escenarios del libro. Allí entró en contacto con una máquina de cine de posguerra, que fue lo que le inspiró varios versos y la influencia del cine que puede apreciarse en la lectura. Esto entronca con el análisis que hace de la percepción del lenguaje, con poemas exclusivos que interpretan a una voz poemática que intenta dignificar el lenguaje coloquial. Lo más destacado de los poemas es su excelente sonoridad, su ritmo perfecto, las imágenes poderosas y el homenaje a Keats. La belleza, el dolor y la reflexión sobre la identidad y la nada se mezclan en un original punto de vista lleno de ironía. En estos actos de lenguaje, Jaime Siles expresa el mundo a través de la palabra, y lo hace dando una visión melancólica de la existencia.
