Guadalupe

Resumen del Libro

Libro Guadalupe

When looking at historical photographs of Guadalupe residents, one sees the faces that represent the area s unique and diverse past. Originally inhabited by the indigenous Chumash and mapped by Spanish explorers, Guadalupe was first named in the 1840s Mexican land grant honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe, the title given to the Virgin Mary. Through the years, waves of immigrants made their way to Guadalupe to take advantage of the fertile soil and unique geographic features, the most prominent of which are the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes, which contain some of the tallest sand dunes on Earth and have been visited by locals and tourists for the last century and a half. It was in the 1920s that Hollywood discovered them and began introducing distant audiences to the region through the cinematic tradition that continues today."

Las músicas del siglo XX

Libro Las músicas del siglo XX

La música ocupa un puesto peculiar entre las actividades culturales. Estamos rodeados de música de todo tipo (pop, jazz, clásica...) y sin embargo la reflexión filosófica sobre ésta ha sido siempre escasa. Los medios de reproducción actuales han permitido por su parte una enorme difusión de todo tipo de música. ¿Quién podía escuchar hasta hace bien poco una ópera de Wagner, pongamos por caso, residiendo en una ciudad cualquiera que no fuese Madrid o Barcelona, y ello sólo ocasionalmente? Hoy día el problema no estriba en acceder a todo tipo de bienes culturales sino a su...
