Miradas convergentes frente cuerpos disidentes
"En este libro colectivo de estudis sobre el cuerpo, jóvenes autores de diversas disciplinas sociales han tomado el fructífero camino de la disidencia como estrategia para el análisis de procesos contemporáneos que evidencian la importancia de la materialización de los sujetos como producto de su experiencia. De manera provocativa, la óptica disidente conduce a pensar en los sujetos encarnados más allá de la normalidad o de los esquemas corporales hegemónicos. ¿Quiénes son los sujetos obesos? ¿Cómo pensamos e interpretamos a las chicas anoréxicas? ¿Cómo explicamos la exclusión de estos sujetos? ¿Desde dónde entendemos a los enfermos y sus padecimientos? ¿Cómo explicar la...
Leer el cuerpo gordo
La obra analiza los cuerpos invisibles y excluidos desde las normas ideológicas de lo “sano” o lo “bello”. Muestra personajes que resisten desde la disidencia corporal para denunciar la hegemonía gordofóbica que persiste en nuestra literatura.

Accepting Voices
13 people describe their experiences of hearing voices. The book illustrates that many people hear voices and that not everyone has recourse to psychiatry, but that there are ways of coping which enable people to come to terms with their experience. It focuses on techniques to deal with voices, emphasizing that personal growth should be stimulated rather than inhibited.
Migration, Women and Social Development
This book presents a selection of major research texts by Prof. Dr. Lourdes Arizpe Schlosser, a Mexican Pioneer in Anthropology. A global intellectual leader on culture, social development, sustainability, women's studies and indigenous groups, her texts provide both an outlook on the evolution of specific social scientific concepts and historical debates and a long-term and meta-analytical perspective integrating academic and policy discussions. By linking debates from different fields, the book helps readers to understand why people and groups make the choices they make and how the principles of social life must change to meet the challenges that new generations face in building social sustainability and effective environmental management in the twenty-first century.

Drawing on science and statistics as much as on human instinct and emotion, Move UP reconsiders the modern world with a motion to improving it.
Medieval Iberia
An exploration of the cultural-political complexity of the medieval Peninsula.
The Paradox of Grammatical Change
Recent years have seen intense debates between formal (generative) and functional linguists, particularly with respect to the relation between grammar and usage. This debate is directly relevant to diachronic linguistics, where one and the same phenomenon of language change can be explained from various theoretical perspectives. In this, a close look at the divergent and/or convergent evolution of a richly documented language family such as Romance promises to be useful. The basic problem for any approach to language change is what Eugenio Coseriu has termed the paradox of change: if synchronically, languages can be viewed as perfectly running systems, then there is no reason why they should change in the first place. And yet, as everyone knows, languages are changing constantly. In nine case studies, a number of renowned scholars of Romance linguistics address the explanation of grammatical change either within a broadly generative or a functional framework.
The Regional Diversification of Latin 200 BC - AD 600
Classical Latin appears to be without regional dialects, yet Latin evolved in little more than a millennium into a variety of different languages. This book argues comprehensively that Latin in fact never lacked regional variations and examines the changing patterns and causes of this diversity throughout the Roman period.
