Estos son los apuntes que quiero que completan el tema 3. Leedlos y preguntadme lo que no entendáis. Os dejo también una canción portuguesa que se convirtió en el himno del 15 M de allí. Creo que os puede servir para hacer el comentario del texto "Ironías". Escuchadla con atención y pensad.
Si pincháis aquí encontraréis los apuntes que os he dicho esta mañana. Lo siento, no he podido hacerlo antes. Os dejo un video de un cantautor, Ismael Serrano, que tuve la suerte de ver el viernes pasado en la Fnac.
Lo siento chicos, he tenido que publicar esto de nuevo porque alguien colgó un comentario quen no me hizo gracia. Aquí lo tenéis de nuevo: Las lenguas de España y El español en el mundo.
Aquí os dejo unos apuntillos para que completéis el libro. Como regalo os dejo una canción de Ismael Serrano que me encanta. Si alguien se anima que comente la letra. Sólo tiene que registrarse en el blog. No os preocupéis que el mail no sale en la página.
This summer I have been in Britain, meeting old friends and making new ones. I have visited a lot of places, some of them with a literary past. I have been chasing Jane Austen, a great novelist you should know.
We don´t study a lot of women who write, but there are, and some of them are very interesting. Jane Austen wasn´t a rebel like Mary Wollenstonecraft but she dedicated her life to writing.
I am not going to bore you with a lot of biographical information. I just want to show you the places where I have been and make you interested in this woman. She was born in Steventon, Hampshire (England) in 1775. Her father was a Vicar in the Church of England and she had seven brothers and one sister, Cassandra, her confidante. You can see a picture of the church and a plaque commemorating Jane Austen.
When She was 20, she fell in love with Thomas Lefroy, but they broke up because he was not able to marry her because she didn´t have money. She had another suitor, Harris Bigg-Wither. She accepted his marriage proposal but the next day she changed her mind and withdrew it. (Her sister and she never married) After that they moved to Bath, a beautiful place famous for its thermal springs. You can see the pictures of her house- museum there and a residential road called the Royal Crescent. A beautiful georgian building for rich people, built at a time when they had to pay additional taxes for their windows. Now some of these houses are apartments, hotels or belong to famous people.
The most amazing place for me was another of Jane Austen´s houses in Chawton, where she spent her last days. I could see the little table where she wrote and in a way, I felt she was still there. The day I was at that cottage they were celebrating two hundred years since the publication of her novel ‘Sense and Sensibility' and a lovely woman read a piece of it.
If you want to Know more about this writer you should investigate, write an essay about her, read one of her famous books: Emma, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and sensibility; or see the films about them: Clueless, Pride and prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen in Manhattan, La joven Jane Austen The Jane Austen Book Club, ( Conociendo a Jane Austen)...
Aquí tenéis los textos que vamos a usar para las semanas previas a selectividad. Algunos ya los tendréis en las antologías que hemos trabajado en clase, pero para que os sea más cómodo los he recopilado en este documento. Venid a clase a repasar y a aprovechar el tiempo.
Éste es uno de mis temas favoritos, y para pena mía lo he tenido que dar en dos días. En fin, al llegar a casa vi que, imperdonablemente, me olvidé de Cortázar, del que os hablaré después de Semana Santa.
