| Summary |
"This collection of essays addresses a multitude of crossroads in numerous Hispanic contexts across the intersections of time & space/tradition & modernity. The contexts are wide-ranging; e.g., the visual, architectural: how Spain's age-old oenological tradition meets modern technology, how the vestiges of long-term dictatorship lurk in the spaces of Spain's democracy; and how space/architecture, and art/poetry cross in Latin America. Painters Pablo Picasso and Frida Kahlo's productions cross the visual to the written; and magical realism products of the twentieth century Latin American artistic movement defy nature, science, time and space"-- Provided by publisher |
