Newly translated for the first time in ten years, Federico Garcia
Lorca's Poet in New York is an astonishing depiction of a
tumultuous metropolis that changed the course of poetic expression
in both Spain and the Americas. Written during Federico Garcia
Lorca's nine months as a student at Columbia University at the
beginning of the Great Depression, Poet in New York is widely
considered one of the most important books Lorca ever produced.
This enduring and influential collection offers us a New York City
populated with poverty, racism, social turbulence, and solitude--a
New York intoxicating in its vitality and devastating beauty. After
the tragedy of September 11, 2001, poets Pablo Medina and Mark
Statman returned to this seventy-year-old work and were struck by
how closely it spoke to the atmosphere of New York after the World
Trade Center crumbled. They were compelled to create a new English
version of Poet in New York--translating the poems with reverence
and irreverence, caution and wildness, humility and nerve. They
translate Lorca's words with a contemporary poet's eye, which
allows their work to uphold his surrealistic technique, mesmerizing
complexity, and fierce emotion, unlike any other translation to
date. An excellent introduction to one of the most significant
figures in twentieth-century poetry, Poet in New York is a defining
work of modern literature and this new bilingual edition is an
exciting exposition of one American city that continues to have the
ability to change our perspective on the world around us.
El siguiente estudio, explora la manera en la cual las nociones de
penitencia y conversion se articulan como engaste entre religion y
dispositivo penitenciario. Se introducen elementos metodologicos,
para obtener mediante la creacion y analisis del relato de vida,
informacion acerca de la historia de un preso que se volvio
Capellan Regional Evangelico, entendiendo su experiencia como
testimonio viviente del engaste religion y dispositivo
penitenciario. Finalmente, a partir de la experiencia de vida del
Capellan Raul Foncea De la Cruz, se devela un enlace entre lo
divino y lo humano, a modo de importacion y traduccion de los
conceptos religiosos de penitencia y conversion en lo carcelario,
posibilitandose segun su propio recorrido de profesion religiosa en
prision, la anudacion de una obediencia hacia Dios y el Estado,
desarticulandose en cierta medida la dicotomia penitenciaria entre
funcion punitiva v/s funcion rehabilitadora / reinsertadora."
