Latin American Boom

The Separation between the Fantastic and the Real in the Stories of Julio Cortázar Throughout the following research paper, we will develop the literary analysis of the stories "The night face up” “After lunch” “The Axolotl” and “Cefalea” by Julio Cortazar. I chose this author because we can enjoy his literature in which reality is transformed into fantasy, which catches us and forces us to interpret it. The author chosen belongs to the "boom" of Latin American literature. That is why his style is avant-garde and uses surrealism as the only way to represent reality. The main characteristic of his fantastic narrative is the application of unusual and suggestive elements; always part of daily situations combined with paranormal…

rents” (Schwarz 604). Rentier states are heavily concentrated in Latin America, the Middle East, and Sub-Saharan Africa. The similarities of the rentier economies in these three regions vastly outweigh the differences as they are all plagued with the two classic problems all rentier economies face: economic dependence and vulnerability due to the boom and bust cycle. There are some nuanced differences between the economies in the regions, such as Dutch Disease occurring at a higher rate in…

is broken, then a lot changes and the aircraft needs to be as streamlined to do that. To make an engine more streamlined it becomes smaller and more part of the wing of the plane. The engine might be smaller but it has to move more air than a subsonic engine which means the rate at which the engine rotates will be higher, increasing the noise. With hearing protection this might not be a huge deal, but for people who live close to an airport and have to listen to lift off and landing might be…

Do you know what a sonic boom is? Do you know how a sonic boom is created? After you read this paper you will be able to answer yes to both questions. A sonic boom is a thunder like sound that can only be heard on the ground. A sonic boom is a shock wave created by an airplane or another aerospace object flying equal to or greater than the speed of sound. A physicist named Ernst Mach established a way to measure airspeed to the speed of sound. (Wonderpolis pg.2). Mach 1 is when you are flying at…

Capitalism is one of the most talked about subjects today by many economic geographers and how much commotion it can cause. Capitalism has been debated since its invention so many years ago. Capitalism is crisis prone and truly only works because it is so dependent on crisis. Capitalism is based on the theory of boom and bust cycle and creates outwards of flow during a boom and causes many jobs to be lost during a bust. David Harvey mentions in his article about the dependency on crisis for…

few labor unions that were communist were often heavily suppressed, with violence, and destruction caused b.y both sides. An example would be the “Worker strikes occurred throughout the United States in support of the Bolsheviks. One strike led by a future radical communist, William Z. Foster, caused hundreds of thousands of steelworkers to walk off their jobs. In Seattle, a general strike led to the entire city being shut down for a lack of workers. Terrorism and violence led to injuries of…

Identity The notion of identity in this article is shaped through social class hierarchy and through ones cultural background. This revolves around the idea of what individuals were about in regard to their work life, their living space, their family and what they intrinsically identify with. This article spends a third of its depth talking about current trends in history and finds itself stuck on the idea of romanization. The author has good arguments on identity however his focus bounces off…

States created a democracy in the states that they hoped would be long-lasting and efficient. In the book, Jeffersonian America: Rome Reborn on Western Shores: Historical Imagination and the Creation of the American Republic, the author examines the thought process that the founding fathers, in particular…

On “The Marrow of Tradition” As “The Marrow of Tradition” hurtles towards its conclusion, its author, Charles Chesnutt, has two of its main characters – the half-sisters Mrs. Carteret and Mrs. Miller – stand “face to face” for the very first time. Both characters are devastated, inconsolable; indeed, the very air between the pair seems heavy, suffused as it is with a heady amalgam of private and public tragedy. It seems almost fitting, after what has just happened (in the narrative), that the…
