CINE FORO SOBRE CINE AMERICANO / “LAS UVAS DE LA IRA”: ASPECTOS A CONSIDERAR DURANTE LA VISUALIZACIÓN DE LA PELÍCULA PARA EL POSTERIOR DEBATE
El gran clásico del cine social americano de los años dorados de Hollywood, junto con El pan nuestro de cada día (King Vidor, 1934). Grandiosa película, que compagina la indignación social con la emotividad, sin demagogia ni subrayados, siempre con los tonos justos, en su reflejo de la llamada Gran Depresión Americana, que estalló como
ENGLISH READING CIRCLE – SHORT STORY OF THE MONTH ANALYSIS: “HOW TO BECOME A WRITER” BY LORRIE MOORE
This month’s story, Lorrie Moore’s “How to Become a Writer,” has as its ancillary title “Or, Have You Earned This Cliché?” Unpacking the title seems like a good way to start examining this wry, ironic, yet surprisingly tender little story. While it might pose as a how-to manual of sorts, written in the second person
ENGLISH READING CIRCLE ON POETRY AND PROSE POETRY – POEM OF THE MONTH ANALYSIS: “THEY SHUT ME UP IN PROSE” BY EMILY DICKINSON
Our poem for December, Emily Dickinson’s “They shut me up in Prose,” dazzles us with its sheer pyrotechnic brilliance. This is not the poem of a house-bound recluse. Our speaker expresses no coy, quaint sentiments, nor is she at home in some tranquil scene of domesticity, retired in front of a fire or a gently

CINE FORO SOBRE CINE AMERICANO: ASPECTOS A CONSIDERAR DURANTE LA VISUALIZACIÓN DE LA PELÍCULA PARA EL POSTERIOR DEBATE
CENTAUROS DEL DESIERTO Supone una de las últimas veces que trabajaron juntos el director John Ford y el actor John Wayne, el binomio fundamental del Western. La primera fue La diligencia (1939), que abrió un capítulo dentro de la historia del género, y la última El hombre que mató a Liberty Valance (1962), que definió
ENGLISH READING CIRCLE ON POETRY AND PROSE POETRY – POEM OF THE MONTH ANALYSIS: “To My Dear and Loving Husband” by Anne Bradstreet
This month, the English Reading Circle: Poetry and Prose Poetry group is going back to the beginning. We’ll be travelling back in time to the beginning of America, the beginning of American poetry, and the beginning of American women’s writing, with Anne Bradstreet’s “To My Dear and Loving Husband.” In 1650, Bradstreet’s volume of poetry,
ENGLISH READING CIRCLE – SHORT STORY OF THE MONTH ANALYSIS: “The Angel at the Grave” by Edith Wharton

The story relates, among other things, the passage of a major literary figure’s legacy from one of universal acclaim to the dustbin of history, an obsolete relic from a forgotten past. Perhaps some of you
