El ángel exterminador, Luis Buñuel (1962)
Luis Buñel Portés fue un director de cine español. Nació en Teruel en el año 1900 aunque la mayor parte de su obra fue realizada en México y en Francia. Murió a los 83 años en Ciudad de México. Es considerado uno de los directores más originales e importantes de la historia del cine.
Buñuel se trasladó a Madrid en el 1917 después de recibir educación religiosa que marcaría una importante tendencia en su línea personal y artística. Inició la carrera de Ingeniería Agrónoma instalándose en la residencia de estudiantes donde entabló amistad con personajes característicos de la época como Salvador Dalí o Federico García Lorca. Aunque más tarde abandonó la ingeniería para terminar licenciándose en Filosofía y Letras. Se especializó en técnica cinematográfica en la Academia de Cine de París y realizó junto a Dalí el famoso corto “Un perro Andaluz” (1928), que representó su inmersión en el estilo surrealista.
El surrelismo en esos años desarrollaba plenamente la creatividad intelectual y la imaginación visual, dejando de lado los tradicionales conceptos de expresión y narrativa. Dió importancia a los mundos oníricos como un reflejo de la lógica que permanece bajo la capacidad subconsciente del ser humano. Su obra se caracteriza por provocar ansiedad en el espectador. Dado el estallido de la Guerra Civil española Buñuel se exilió en el continente americano.
Su cine surrealista, original y simbólico abordó varios géneros y subgéneros como son las farsas, sátiras, comedias negras, dramas de corte neorrealista o melodramas. Otra de sus características es que enfocaba sus flechas mas críticas en el catolicismo y la burguesía lo que se ve constantemente reflejado en la obra “El angel exterminador”.

El autor de esta película cree que en la realidad se encuentra todo: el deseo, el sueño, el pensamiento, la acción, el gesto, el sentimiento, la razón y el sinrazón. Además confirma su descreencia a la psicología de la misma manera que lo hacía Nietzsche afirmando que “todos los actos son esencialmente desconocidos” lo que pone en duda la anterior relación con el conductismo de Freud.
En la película queda patente el uso de la idea del aislamiento como un pretexto para poner en cuestión la condición civilizada del hombre y mostrar el desarrollo de las conductas del ser humano ante situaciones límite.

Throughout an individual’s life-time, he/she has a vision as o what his/her should be. But when things do not go as planned and the unexpected occurs, does that person face it, or run away? In “An Act of Vengeance” by Isabel Allende, running away is not an option at well. Through the usage of plot, character and irony, Allende illustrates the cost of war.
Valle’s most significant contribution to the Spanish theatre is his invention of the literary style of esperpento, which is best represented in one of his most famous plays, Luces de Bohemia. Valle created esperpento with the aim of representing the harsh realities of Spanish twentieth century society through the concave lens of grotesque deformation, so that he could present the lives of the Spaniards in the light of mockery and absurdity. During his writing of Luces de Bohemia, the Spanish society has been brought to a halt, along with the lack of political progress and social improvement, therefore this concerning political situation has influenced and steered Valle towards his literary evolution, the exaggerated grotesque, which he though was the only suitable way to represent the shocking reality and problems of Spain. In this way, he could alarm the people to terminate their complacent acceptance of this reality and he could also produce a distancing effect which renders the reader immune to the play’s purpose, thus making the artistic experience more tolerable. His experience in the killing fields was what made him t...
I wrote this paper to get a better understanding of Sigmund Freud’s method and theory of dream analysis. The purpose of the paper will be to show the principals of Freud’s dream related theory that focuses on the physiology, interpretation, and psychology of dreams and to explain concepts such as latent and manifest content of dreams, the part of unconscious process, and the nature of dreams role in the determination of dream content. I would like to explore Sigmund Freud’s explanations of psycho-analytic and psychological theory and method to reveal whether Freud’s continuous revising to sexually based conclusions are able to support his own arguments. One of his themes was the amount of activity that goes on in our brains without us even realizing it is happening. Freud studied dreams looking for a better understanding of certain features of our personalities, mainly the features that developed into disorders and psychological problems. He believed nothing a human being did, could happen by chance, and every action, if it was big or small, was in some way motivated by the unconscious mind.
This essay is going to describe in depth and detail the theories of Sigmund Freud's psycho dynamic approach. The strengths and weakness as an evaluation of Sigmund Freud's work. A summary and evaluation of the cognitive perspective as an alternative of human behaviour will also be identified in this essay.

Villalobos and Ramirez-Pimiento explain that “The MEXICAN, CORRIDO, or ballad, has been popularly portrayed as a cultural form that registers events and subjects that state-controlled records do not” (Villalobos, 129). Many people question whether these events are being recorded in history books and state controlled records accurately. As an example the authors recount the story of Hector Felix Miranda also known as “El ‘Gato’ Felix” (Villalobos, 133). According to the prohibited corrido by Enrique Franco, Hector was killed in “…in a mere attempt at silencing the voice of the people…” (Villalobos, 131-132). The second corrido the authors discuss is the narcocorr...

In the book On Crimes and Punishments; the author; Cesare Beccaria talks about the justice system and the changes that he believes will make society better for all the citizens. In many of Cesare Beccaria’s statements he argues that to lower crimes, all citizens should be treated equally to have society properly function. Despite the changes that Cesare Beccaria made on equality, there is still a lot of hard work to be done to attain equality worldwide even to this day. Beccaria believes that certain aspects of the law have to change so that everyone could be treated the same even if they are of a different class divisions as well as if they have been accused of a given crime.

The symbolism in Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s novella, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, emphasises the connection of the rural Colombian people and the Bible. The names, deaths, and spector activity as symbolism greatly affect the novella’s parallels to Christianity.
