Humanities
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon became the editor in 2000. The subject categories for Volume 58 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Humanities Art History (including ethnohistory) Literature (including translations from the Spanish and Portuguese) Philosophy: Latin American Thought Music

La Chulla Vida
Chronicling the experience of young Andean families as their lives extend between Ecuadorian highlands and New York City, this book takes an in-depth look at transnational labor migration and gender identities. Jason Pribilsky offers an engrossing and sensitive account of the ways in which young men and women in these two locales navigate their lives, exploring the impact of gender, generation, and new forms of wealth in a single Andean community. Migration has been a part of the Andes for centuries, yet the effects of transnational labor on the individuals and communities remain largely undocumented. Pribilsky draws upon firsthand observations of everyday lives to explore issues of consumption, transnational marriages, and the evolving roles of men and women. Pribilsky presents a study that is both engaging and challenging, a vital contribution to the fields of Latin American studies and immigration studies.
En busca de los estudios organizacionales de Latinoamérica
Este libro surge institucionalmente en la Red de Estudios Organizacionales de Latinoamérica (REOL) y da cuenta de los desarrollos alcanzados, en esencia, en los siete países cuyas redes hoy la conforman (no se cuenta aquí la red venezolana, dado su muy reciente vinculación). Estos desarrollos son socializados por parte de investigadores seleccionados por esas redes académicas, las cuales se han conformado, de un modo u otro, alrededor del campo de los estudios organizacionales en cada una de estas naciones. Esta obra es el resultado de un prometedor ejercicio de integración de la comunidad académica latinoamericana interesada en aportar al desarrollo del campo de los estudios organiza...
Ángeles que cantan de continuo
Gegenstand dieser Untersuchung ist der Aufstieg und Fall der theologischen Legitimierung der gehobenen Poesie, die sich ab Ende des 16. und im Laufe des 17. Jahrhunderts im Vizekönigreich Peru vollzieht. Der Höhepunkt dieser Legitimierung liegt in dem Entstehen einer „Academia Antártica“ (Antarktische Akademie) in den ersten Jahrzehnten des 17. Jahrhunderts. Ihr Ende wiederum beginnt in der zweiten Hälfte desselben Jahrhunderts, wenn Gelehrte religiöser Orden, vor allem Juan de Espinosa Medrano und seine Texte zur Verteidigung der Dichtung und der Wissenschaften, diese theologische Macht der weltlichen Poesie bestreiten und für ihre eigenen Predigten und Texten in Anspruch nehmen. ...
