Each volume explains the background to and the work of one of the major influences on twentieth- and twenty-first-century performance. Bertolt Brecht is amongst the world's most profound contributors to the theory and practice of theatre. His methods of collective experimentation and his unique framing of the theatrical event as a forum for aesthetic and political change continue to have a significant impact on the work of performance practitioners, critics and teachers alike. This is the first book to combine: an overview of the key periods in Brecht's life and work; a clear explanation of his key theories, including the renowned ideas of Gestus and Verfremdung an account of his groundbreaking 1954 production of "The Caucasian Chalk Circle"; and, an in-depth analysis of Brecht's practical exercises and rehearsal methods. As a first step towards critical understanding, and as an initial exploration before going on to further, primary research, "Routledge Performance Practitioners" are unbeatable value for today's student ..."http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478550http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=488010Description: "Gabriel Garcâia Mâarquez is Latin America's most internationally famous and successful author, and a winner of the Nobel Prize.

Blending biography with literary criticism, feminist theory, and historical and social analysis, this book provides a completely original analysis of Beauvoir's education and formation as an intellectual. In The Second Sex, Beauvoir shows that we constantly make something of what the world tries to make of us. By reconstructing the social and political world in which Beauvoir became the author of The Second Sex, and by showing how Beauvoir reacted to the pressures of that world, Moi applies Beauvoir's ideas to Beauvoir's own life. Ranging from an investigation of French educational institutions to reflections on the relationship between freedom and flirtation, this book uncovers the conflicts and difficulties of an intellectual woman in the middle of the twentieth century. Through her analysis of Beauvoir's life and work Moi shows how difficult it was - and still is - for women to be taken seriously as intellectuals. Two major chapters on The Second Sex provide a theoretical and a political analysis of that epochal text. The last chapter turns to Beauvoir's love life, her depressions and her fear of ageing." -- Book jacket.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=480061http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479898Description: Take a trip off the tourist trail...Visit the beautiful cities of Barcelona, Madrid, Seville and Grenada; attend the Pamplona fiesta the famous 'Running of the bulls'; walk the Pilgrim Trail, a religious journey to Santiago de Compostela; explore Cazoria National Park; admire the lunar landscape around Tabernas.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479898http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478603Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478603http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=496495Description: "This book applies theoretical models that reflect the fluid, mediated, hybrid, and nomadic global scenes within which GenX artists and writers live, think, and work.

Born in Manhattan's Morningside Heights to Cuban immigrants in 1951, he introduces readers to the colorful circumstances of his upbringing. The son of a Cuban hotel worker and exuberant poetry-writing mother, his story, played out against the backdrop of an often-prejudiced working class neighborhood, takes on an even richer dimension when his relationship to his family and culture changes forever. During a sojourn in pre-Castro Cuba with his mother, he catches a disease that sends him into a Dickensian home for terminally ill children. The yearlong stay estranges him from the very language and people he had so loved. With a cast of characters whose stories are both funny and tragic, this work follows the author's subsequent quest for his true identity into adulthood, through college and beyond, a mystery whose resolution he eventually discovers hidden away in the trappings of his fiction.--From publisher description.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=489839http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478602Description: A masterpiece of linguistics scholarship, at once erudite and entertaining, confronts the thorny question of how--and whether--culture shapes language and language, culture.

The tyrant of the book is the actual pro-Nazi mystic Maximiliano Hernâandez Martâinez, known as the Warlock, who came to power in El Salvador in 1932. An attempted coup in April of 1944 failed, but a general strike in May finally forced him out of office. The book takes place during that tumultuous month between the coup and the strike. With her husband a political prisoner and her son fleeing for his life, wealthy Haydâee Aragon takes matters into her own hands. Events ricochet from one near-disaster to the next.--Publisher's description.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=489838http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479899Description: Central America is the thin section of land that links the continents of North and south America.
