Moving Otherwise
Moving Otherwise examines how contemporary dance practices in Buenos Aires, Argentina enacted politics within climates of political and economic violence from the mid-1960s to the mid-2010s. From the repression of military dictatorships to the precarity of economic crises, contemporary dancers and audiences consistently responded to and reimagined the everyday choreographies that have accompanied Argentina's volatile political history. The titular concept, "moving otherwise" names how both concert dance and its off-stage practice and consumption offer alternatives to and modes to critique the patterns of movement and bodily comportment that shape everyday life in contexts marked by violence....
Identity Mediations in Latin American Cinema and Beyond
The appearance of sound film boosted entertainment circuits around the world, drawing cultural cartographies that forged images of spaces, nations and regions. By the late 1920s and early ‘30s, film played a key role in the configuration of national and regional cultural identities in incipient mass markets. Over the course of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, this transmedia logic not only went unthreatened, but also intensified with the arrival of new media and the development of new technologies. In this respect, this book strikes a dialogue between analyses that reflect the flows and transits of music, films and artists, mainly in the Ibero-American space, although it also features essays on Soviet and Asian cinema, with a view to exploring the processes of configuration of cultural identities. As such, this work views national borders as flexible spaces that permit an exploration of the appearance of transversal relations that are part of broader networks of circulation, as well as economic, social and political models beyond the domestic sphere.
Visions of Transmerica
This book looks at Neobaroque Latin American fiction, poetry, essay and performance from the 1970s to the early 2000s in order to explore the cultural hybridization and transgressive identity transformations at play in these works. It shows how the ornamental style and boldly experimental techniques are an effective strategy in presenting decentered identities in sexually ambiguous, multiethnic, interracial, transcultural, and mutant characters, as well as in metafictional narrators and authors. In this way, the book demonstrates the potential of Neobaroque works to destabilize normative, essentialist and binary categories of identity. The study focuses on Latin America as a cultural macroregion, drawing on examples from a variety of countries, including Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia, Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, and the US-Mexican border. Drawing on gender, queer, trans and Chicana feminist theory, it argues for an alternative approach to a model of the Self, or a theory of selfhood, derived from the exuberant style and experimental techniques of the Neobaroque.
Diccionarios para un concepto de cuerpo
Este libro propone un agrupamiento de diversas entradas de diccionario inventadas (pero posibles) en torno a un mismo término: cuerpo. Ellas nos invitan a enfrentarnos con la esquiva pregunta ¿qué es el cuerpo? y nos permiten arrojarnos hacia el trabajo de pensar cómo se forma en particularidades concretas, pagando, inevitablemente, el precio de su evanescencia. En cada una de las entradas podemos encontrar definiciones del cuerpo propias de situaciones y circunstancias específicas en las que se producen, a la vez que emergen puntos de contacto entre distintos espacios sociales. Así, nos enfrentamos a la proliferación de la multiplicidad de significaciones que envuelven al cuerpo. El ...
Music, Dance, Affect, and Emotions in Latin America
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.

Mucho camello, poco empleo : por qué el trabajo de las mujeres en Colombia es escaso, desvalorado y mal remunerado
Abogadas, economistas, sociólogas y antropólogas analizan, en esta obra, el acceso de las mujeres al empleo, los castigos laborales frente a la maternidad, las diferencias salariales y la feminización de los trabajos. Mucho camello, poco empleo reúne diez investigaciones que estudian las condiciones laborales de la mujer-madre, la campesina, la ejecutiva, la cuidadora de la salud, la trabajadora del servicio doméstico, la que sobrevive a su pareja. Las conclu¬siones de estos textos son provocadoras, otras controversiales, e incluso algu¬nas podrían ser consideradas conservadoras. Al ser escritos por personas que provienen de distintas disciplinas y que asumen la comprensión de los fenóme¬nos desde distintos marcos teóricos y metodológicos, lo lógico es que se generen desacuerdos y tensiones entre ellos. Precisamente eso es lo que busca este libro. El objetivo es estimular el diálogo de tal forma que sea imposible pensar en agendas de investigación o políticas públicas que ignoren la variedad de enfoques necesarios para entender una realidad tan compleja como el trabajo de las mujeres.
Play Among Books
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.
