Queering the Popular Pitch
Queering the Popular Pitch is a new collection of 19 essays that situate queering within the discourse of sex and sexuality in relation to popular music. This investigation addresses the changing debates within gay, lesbian and queer discourse in relation to the dissemination of musical texts -performance, cultural production and sexual meaning - situating music within the broader patterns of culture that it both mirrors and actively reproduces. The collection is divided into four parts: queering borders queer spaces hidden histories queer thoughts, mixed media.

With case studies and essays by leading popular music scholars it provides insightful discourse in a growing field of musicological research.
The Colombian Novel, 1844-1987
Novels such as One Hundred Years of Solitude have awakened English-language readers to the existence of Colombian literature in recent years, but Colombia has a well-established literary tradition that far predates the Latin American "boom." In this pathfinding study, Raymond Leslie Williams provides an overview of seventeen major authors and more than one hundred works spanning the years 1844 to 1987.

La fleur du café
S'il est l'un des plus importants produits d'exportation du monde tropical, le café est en premier lieu le support de sociétés rurales au dynamisme remarquable, en particulier dans l'Amérique hispanophone où son introduction et surtout sa diffusion sont pourtant récentes : moins de deux siècles dans la plupart des cas. Le présent ouvrage souhaite montrer comment cette caféiculture a structuré une société originale ; présente à partir d'une certaine altitude dans nombre de pays, elle constitue un archipel du café où, sous la dispersion et les variantes régionales, l'arbuste cristallise les représentations identitaires et un système affirme sa cohérence et son unité. Les principales caractéristiques de ce système caféier sont déclinées dans ces pages. La première partie, " Les campagnes du café ", aborde la genèse du système et son fonctionnement interne ; la deuxième, " Les gens du café ", rend compte de la place et de la diversité des populations dans la production caféière ; enfin, " Les images du café " participent à l'analyse des représentations que donne et se donne la caféiculture dans diverses formes d'expression littéraire.

This book is of pivotal importance to the development of Colombian writing and will serve as an invaluable reference for specialists and students alike.
