Hispanic Resources: News & Events: "The Galloping Hour: French Poems by Alejandra Pizarnik" -- 3/06 @ 6 PM

Forrest Gander and Patricio Ferrari will read their translations of Alejandra Pizarnik's French poems found in The Galloping Hour (New Directions, 2018).

Never before rendered in English and unpublished during her lifetime, these poems draw from personal life experiences and they echo readings of Pizarnik's beloved/accursed French authors--Charles Baudelaire, Germain Nouveau, Arthur Rimbaud, and Antonin Artaud. Anna Deeny Morales will follow with a reading of her translations of Pizarnik's Diana's Tree, forthcoming this year. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Russian Jewish parents, Pizarnik is considered one of Latin America's most powerful and intense lyric poets of the 20th century. A discussion will follow the reading.

Date & time: Wednesday, March 6, 2019 at 6:00 p.m.
Location: Hispanic Reading Room (LJ-240), Thomas Jefferson Building, 2nd floor.

Create a Simple Autocomplete With HTML5 & jQuery

A quick Google search will yield plenty of handy autocomplete plugins — there’s even an option shared by jQuery UI which comes bundled with the library.

Coding an Ajax-Style Paged Document Viewer With jQuery

Recently, I’ve have seen a number of websites using this JavaScript-powered paged document interface. Users are presented a multi-page document set starting on the first page, and they have the ability to switch between pages dynamically. This can be a much better solution than linking directly to a PDF document. Or this may even be […]

Create a Simple jQuery Image Lightbox Gallery

How to Easily Manage Cookies Within jQuery

Web browsers can generate unique sessions organized for each user on a website.

Build an HTML5 Form With on-Off Input Sliders Using jQuery
