Este libro, parte de una trilogía, presenta las metodologías de performance-investigación que el Equipo de Antropología del Cuerpo y la Performance de la Universidad de Buenos Aires viene ensayando en las prácticas de investigación, creación y docencia desplegadas durante sus 20 años de existencia.

Sus capítulos recorren, entre otros temas, la argumentación de la elección del término "performance", trazando una cartografía de su...
How does coding change the way we think about architecture? This question opens up an important research perspective. In this book, Miro Roman and his AI Alice_ch3n81 develop a playful scenario in which they propose coding as the new literacy of information. They convey knowledge in the form of a project model that links the fields of architecture and information through two interwoven narrative strands in an “infinite flow” of real books. Focusing on the intersection of information technology and architectural formulation, the authors create an evolving intellectual reflection on digital architecture and computer science.
Music, Dance, Affect, and Emotions in Latin America is a collection of essays that analyze different manifestations of Argentine music and dance taking advantage of the exciting new theoretical developments advanced by the current affective turn. Contributors deal with the relationship between music, dance, affects, feelings, and emotions in different scenarios and show how the embodiment of music shape the experiential in ways that may impact upon but nevertheless many times evade conscious knowing. This book is one of the first academic attempts (regardless of region or country of scope) to try to solve some of the most important problems the affective turn has identified regarding how music and dance have been researched so far, such as the tendency, in representational accounts of music, to ignore the sensory and sonic registers to the detriment of the embodied and lived registers of experience and feeling that unfold in the process of making or listening to music.

This book examines the fourth wave of feminism within the United Kingdom. Focusing on examples of contemporary activism it considers the importance of understanding affect and temporality in relation to surges of feminist activity. Examining the wave’s historical use in the feminist movement, the book redefines the symbol in an attempt to overcome difficulties of generations, identities and divisions. The author contends that feminism must develop its own methods for time keeping, in which past activism and future aspirations touch on the present moment. Through this unique temporality, she continues, feminism can make space for affective ties to create intense moments of activism, in which surges of feeling catalyse and sustain mass action. This thought-provoking book, with its exploration of the relationship between feeling, the personal and political, will appeal to students and academics working in the fields of gender studies, feminism and affect studies.
Una reflexión acerca de la educación formal en la Argentina a partir de entrevistas a treinta y cinco empresarios, intelectuales, economistas, políticos, hombres de la Iglesia y artistas que contaron sus historias formativas y respondieron sobre la educación que planean para su hijos. ¿Cómo fue la educación formal de los que influyen y mandan en todo? ¿Es tan importante decidir qué tipo de educación recibirán nuestros hijos? ¿ Serán los abanderados los líderes del futuro? Éstas son algunas de las preguntas fundamentales que se plantea Luciana Vázquez. Después del largo reinado del coeficiente intelectual y la excelencia académica, después de la hegemonía de la inteligenci...

The arrival of European settlers in the Americas disrupted indigenous lifeways, and the effects of colonialism shattered Native communities. Forced migration and human trafficking created a diaspora of cultures, languages, and people. Gregory D. Smithers and Brooke N.

These diverse and wide-ranging essays uncover indigenous understandings of self-identification, community, and culture through the speeches, cultural products, intimate relat...
