“Storytelling: la máquina de contar historias y formatear las mentes” Christian Salmon

“La mejor explicación posible sobre cómo se construye la imagen de la actualidad. Christian Salmon desvela cómo una buena historia es la nueva arma de distracción masiva que los políticos utilizan para vender sus mensajes al público. Un libro de cabecera para entender cómo se construye la imagen de la actualidad: la narración como una manera de simular, convencer y movilizar a la opinión pública. Desde hace unos años, el arte de contar historias se ha convertido en el arte de la manipulación.”

The hunter’s people shun the Buffalo Woman, and so she returns, with their son, Calf Boy, to her people. The hunter’s heart compels him to follow. But he has been warned: The Buffalo Nation is angry at the Straight-up-People. And if he cannot find his wife and son among the many buffalo, they will be lost to him forever.”

Celebración del Día del Libro en el Instituto Internacional

El próximo jueves 23 de Abril para celebrar el día mundial del libro (fecha en que murieron Cervantes y Shakespeare), la biblioteca realizará una maratón de lectura en español e inglés de Bartleby el escribiente / Bartleby the Scrivener.

El objetivo sería leer la obra entre todos, por fragmentos y en el idioma preferido (español o inglés) para intentar conseguir terminar la lectura de ambas versiones así como grabarla para dejar testimonio de la actividad.

Los grupos preinscritos dispondrán de un tiempo previamente pactado en ése día para realizar su aportación, pudiendo ser lectores y oyentes de sus compañeros al mismo tiempo. Los participantes individuales serán también bienvenidos.

En paralelo y durante todo el día, la Biblioteca realizará  Bookcrossing por el edificio y amnistía en multas.

En colaboración con el Programa de Inglés se realizará además una sesión de cuentacuentos infantil en inglés a las 17:30 h. (Previa inscripción individual en biblioteca@iie.es) sobre el libro “Is this you?” de Ruth Krauss.

Esperamos contar con todos los miembros de la comunidad del Instituto Internacional para celebrar el placer de la lectura.

December storytelling around the book:

“How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” by Dr. Seuss

Saturday, December 20th 2008, 12 a.m.

Even though he died in 1991, Theodor Seuss Geisel is still the bestselling author of children’s books in the world. He’s also author one of the best Christmas books ever written. How the Grinch Stole Christmas! has been translated into dozens of languages, animated for television, and made into a big screen motion picture. The commercial success (and bastardization) of Seuss’s Scrooge-like villain-turned-hero is almost enough to make one feel…well, grinchy. “The Grinch hated Christmas and. The whole Christmas season. Now, please don’t ask why. No one quite knows the reason,” says Seuss; even readers who can immediately identify with the Grinch’s initial ill will are eventually won over by Seuss’s sweet-spirited Whos and their meaningful message. The only thing the book lacks is Boris Karloff’s expert narration; even without him, though, How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a timeless classic, well worth the out-loud reading it demands.
