Tropezienne, nada tiene que ver con una masa de Brioche y crema pastelera. Toda la magia de lo simple, de la vainilla aterciopelada y el azúcar espolvoreado, se condensan en esta torta. Ni más ni menos que la elegida por Brigitte Bardot en 1955 mientras filmaba “Y dios creo a la mujer”. Esta receta proveniente de Polonia tiene el juego perfecto de texturas, la suavidad de su sabor, y la historia que te tele transporta a aquel recóndito café de la Provenza. Sin olvidar mi antiguo trabajo de florista, recorriendo la ciudad para alegrar con flores las tiendas, restaurantes y oficinas. Lo bello tiene la contrapartida de que para muchos resulta poco práctico y puramente ornamental, pero quien está pensando en la practicidad cuando en frente tuyo hay un jarrón repleto de Astromelias para admirar y Liliums perfumados en el punto óptimo, con su hojas suaves y carnosas, dispuestos a abandonar su condición de pimpollo para desplegar sus pétalos etéreos en el medio del salón. Claramente, pertenezco al grupo de personas que somos capaces de resignarlo absolutamente todo a cambio de ese instante especial en el que un día como cualquier otro, mientras lo terrenal sucede como siempre, Afrodita entra en escena para brindar lo mejor de sí y generar ese impacto tan especial que sólo sucede ante la presencia de un acontecimiento del orden de lo …show more content…

Si bien no fue el único si fue su amante preferido. Sus encuentros se describían irresistibles para ambos, conmovidos por una pasión irremediable no pudieron evitarlos, ni siquiera después de haber caído en la trampa de Hefesto. Helios, quien todo lo ve, fue quien se encargó de dar aviso a Hefesto sobre la relación de Ares con Afrodita y este se encargó de armar un plan para humillarlos antes los demás dioses del Olimpo, pero en la Odisea se discute realmente quien salió más humillado, si el o los amantes. Hefesto construyo unos hilos de oro tan finos e imperceptibles que los amantes no vieron hasta que fueron atrapados por ellos. En ese momento Hefesto se encargó de llamar a todos los dioses para que se rieran de los amantes pero algunos aseguraron que no les molestaría pasar por esa situación con tal de estar con Afrodita, pero Hefesto no los libero hasta que prometieran no verse más. ¿Habrán cumplido su promesa? Existen versiones que aseguran que se escaparon después de esta situación dando a luz a Eros, hijo del deseo y la

  • Racial Hierarchy in Casta Paintings

    1444 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the eighteenth Century, Colonial European and Mexican artists were fascinated with the emergence of racial blending within the Spaniard bloodline. Works of art began displaying pieces that portrayed three major groups that inhabited the colony— Indians, Spaniards, Africans and other ethnicities. This new genre of painting was known as Casta painting and portrayed colonial representations of racial intermarriage and their offspring. Traditionally Casta paintings were a pictorial genre that was often commissioned by Spaniards as souvenirs upon their arrival from New Spain (Mexico). And yet, why would such works have so much fascination despite its suggestive theme? It is clear that Casta paintings display interracial groups and couples, but they seem to have a deeper function when it comes to analyzing these works. These paintings demonstrate that casta paintings were created to display racial hierarchies within the era. They depict the domestic life of interracial marriages and systematically categorized through a complete series of individual paintings. It is clear that the fascination of these works reflected the categorizing of new bloodline that have been emerging and displays these characters in a manner that demonstrates the social stereotypes of these people by linking them with their domestic activities and the items that surround them as well. Despite the numerous racial stereotypes that are illustrated in these works, casta paintings construct racial identities through visual representations.

  • Las Rubias Poem Analysis Essay

    1118 Words  | 3 Pages

    I would like to investigate the many struggles of women, whether it be race that differentiates them or an event that any woman could experience that brings them together. Beauty is not easily defined, and women everywhere struggle to not only please the people around them, but themselves. Wanting to describe themselves and feel beautiful is one of the many struggles women experience throughout their lives. “Las Rubias” by Diana Garca from Fire and Ink represents a common example of what women of color experience while comparing themselves to the “beauty” of white women. The poem is divided into eight numbered sections, each containing their own experience or thought.

    A poem that incorporates the oppression of the people living in Martinique, and the political uprising of Martinique during French colonization would be “Out of Alien Days” by Aime Cesaire. Cesaire especially uses examples of imagery and tone to express the ideas of oppression and political revolution to focus on the forms of literature he describes. Along with examples of the literary elements, there should be an explanation of Cesaire’s usage of image and tone that explains the author’s main message in “Out of Alien Days.” In “Out of Alien Days,” Aime Cesaire uses the concepts of imagery and a revolutionary tone to illustrate the problems of the French colonization in Martinique. Cesaire constructs a definitive path in his poem where he is calling for change in Martinique, and rallying his people against the French empire. This paper is about introducing the concepts of imagery and a revolutionary tone along with examples used by Cesaire in “Out of Alien Days,” and an interpretation of the literary elements in connection to Cesaire’s theme in the poem.

  • Stereotypes of Hispanic Women in Cinema

    2501 Words  | 6 Pages

    The Latina women, even throughout the era resistance cinema, have not been able to make much progress in overcoming the degrading stereotypes that Hollywood has created for them. Despite the many advances that minorities have made in the cinema in recent years, Latina actresses still take on the roles of the "dark skinned lady" and other such stereotypes with strong sexual connotations. It is often debatable whether or not the role of the Latina has undergone dramatic changes since the days of Dolores Del Rio and Carmen Miranda dancing with the fruit baskets on top of their heads. However, in recent years there has been an emphasis by various Latinas in the film industry to combat such stereotypical roles and redefine themselves through the film medium, especially by means of documentaries. It is hopeful that the existing portrayals of Latina women as the sex object and desirable mate will gave way to a range of opportunities in cinema with roles of a more powerful and influential nature.

  • La Casada Infiel Analysis

    1510 Words  | 4 Pages

    Federico García Lorca’s poem “La casada infiel” depicts the story of a gypsy who makes love to a married woman on the shore of a river. When looking deeper into the poem, Lorca appears to provide a critical observation on the values of the conservative society at the time in which he lived. The woman, at her most basic reading, is treated as an object, elaborating on the sexist values in society at the time. Lorca addresses issues of sexism as well as issues of sexuality within society mainly through the poem’s sexist narrative voice, objectification of the female character and overriding sense of a lack of desire throughout the poem. His achievement to do so will be analysed throughout this commentary with particular attention to Lorca’s use of poetic techniques such as diction, personification and imagery.

  • Psyche Revived By Cupid's

    During my first look at Antonio Canova’s Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss, the detail in the woman being saved by a kiss from Cupid astonished me. I was especially impressed by the feathers on the wings and the smoothness of the skin. I find it absolutely amazing that in a time of limited, or any, modern technology, someone could create such delicate features and texture on a hard surface. This piece must have taken years to carve. I feel that this beautiful sculpture portrays love, compassion, and ironically, humanity. I do not know who the woman is, or why she needs a kiss from Cupid, but she seems to welcome it desperately.

    The gestural and heavy working of the paint and the contrasting colors make the painting appear active yet are arduous to follow. The defining element of Woman and Bicycle is the presence of the black lines that do most of the work in terms of identifying the figure. Through the wild nature of the brushwork, color, and composition of the painting, it can be implied that the artist is making an implication towards the wild nature of even the most proper of women.
