Baroque Sovereignty
In the seventeenth century, even as the Spanish Habsburg monarchy entered its irreversible decline, the capital of its most important overseas territory was flourishing. Nexus of both Atlantic and Pacific trade routes and home to an ethnically diverse population, Mexico City produced a distinctive Baroque culture that combined local and European influences. In this context, the American-born descendants of European immigrants—or creoles, as they called themselves—began to envision a new society beyond the terms of Spanish imperialism, and the writings of the Mexican polymath Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora (1645-1700) were instrumental in this process. Mathematician, antiquarian, poet, an...
Wet Land
Poetry. LGBT Studies. Latino/Latina Studies. "Lucas de Lima's stunning book affected me so profoundly at all the stages of reading it, encountering it before it was a book and afterwards, when it was. In the work of this extraordinary writer, the fragment is not an activity of form. It's an activity of evisceration." Bhanu Kapil "These poems lurch from the murky waters of our collective unconscious and side-swipe us with a lyric invocation of the dark forces of... what? Nature? History? The alien life- force that drives planetary evolution? A primal being raises itself from the swamp of human consciousness, animated by the archaic and archetypal Sobek, the Egyptian god in crocodile form. The two voices that alternate in this narrative of trauma the quotidian voice of the poet and a ritual voice of invocation queer the story in the most profound way. Together with de Lima we call forth the god who will transform the narrative. As queers, we are the incarnation of countless shamans, medicine men, magicians and priests. The poet places himself in this tradition through his invocation." AA Bronson"

La república de las letras: Publicaciones periódicas y otros impresos
Novelas, poesías, cuentos, piezas teatrales, calendarios, crónicas, editoriales, reportajes de nota roja, volantes, historias, diarios, proclamas o discursos políticos, todos ellos forman parte de la cultura escrita del México decimonónico. Es una cultura escrita que no estaba parcelada en géneros, pues resultaba sumamente difusa la línea que separaba el discurso político de la historia; la historia de la literatura; la literatura del periodismo; el periodismo de la hoja volante, y la hoja volante del discurso político. Tampoco estaba parcelada en autores, pues unos y otros escribían en diferentes medios y con diferentes estilos. Además, la pluma se sumó al sable en la construcci...
A Christmas Carol: Scrooge in Bethlehem
A Christmas Carol: Scrooge in Bethlehem is an adaptation of Charles Dickens' 19th-centruy English story, A Christmas Carol. In this merry adaptation Scrooge is the Bethlehem Innkeeper who refuses shelter to Mary and Joseph on that first Christmas night. His front desk clerk, Bob Cratchit, comes to their aid while Scrooge sleeps alone in his dark room in the inn. When God sends an angel with the Light of Salvation to Scrooge, the wretched man is forced to search his soul. Gradually he realizes that he has traded his soul for money. His final redemption reflects the promise of salvation for all, both poor and rich, in the birth of Emmanuel, God with us.

Knowledge and Action
This volume explores interdependencies between knowledge, action, and space from different interdisciplinary perspectives. Some of the contributors discuss knowledge as a social construct based on collective action, while others look at knowledge as an individual capacity for action. The chapters contain theoretical frameworks as well as experimental outcomes. Readers will gain insight into key questions such as: How does knowledge function as a prerequisite for action? Why are knowledge gaps growing and not diminishing in a knowledge society? How much knowledge is necessary for action? How do various types of knowledge influence the steps from cognition to action? How do different represent...

The Bells of Glocken
Flexible and easy to teach, The Bells of Glocken is approximately 20 minutes long and is an inspired choice for children's choirs, Christian schools or Sunday schools-also great as a multi-generation program for the entire congregation! With very simple narration and dialog, it features speaking and non-speaking roles for 7-10 people, though directors are encouraged to add dialog and characters as necessary. "Glocken" is the German word for "bells." Four bell sounds represent the seasonal themes of hope, peace, love and joy. This pattern may be played by handbells, choir chimes, organ chimes or pitched percussion instruments, though keyboard alone is sufficient. The Director's Score includes fully supportive keyboard accompaniment, costuming, prop and staging suggestions, dialog, vocals and a reprintable audience/congregation program. The Singer's Edition features vocals, narration and dialog. Fully orchestrated recordings are available separately.
