Albert Camus. La nostalgia de Dios
Albert Camus se asoma a través de sus personajes a casi todos los abismos del mundo contemporáneo. El Patrice Mersault de La muerte feliz es un trasunto del joven inquieto y audaz que explora los caminos de la felicidad. El Sísifo que desciende a recoger la piedra y el doctor Rieux que trata de aliviar a los enfermos desesperanzados de La peste dejan traslucir sus vivencias y aspiraciones más profundas. El Jean-Baptiste Clamence de La caída es un espontáneo profeta en el desierto del siglo XX porque su creador también lo era, aunque no siempre lo entendieran o le hicieran caso. También son hijos de las incertidumbres espirituales de Albert Camus el Daru que deja libre al árabe de El huésped y el ingeniero D. Arrast que hace de cireneo en La piedra que crece, y el Kaliayev que retrasa el magnicidio de Los justos para evitar la muerte de unos niños. Todos ellos, con sus anhelos y sus desazones y sus nostalgias, permiten adentrarse en el alma agitada y generosa de su creador. Todos ellos son exiliados del Reino. Todos ellos hacen verosímil la posibilidad de un Camus dichoso.
Handbook on Climate Change and International Security
This topical Handbook explores the emergence of climate change as an international security issue, the threats it poses, and the political and academic debates it has prompted. Framing climate change as a security issue, it explores the ways relevant actors, states and international organizations have conceptualized climate security and its associated threats.
Aspectos fenomenológicos de la tradición filosófica
Este libro está compuesto por veinticuatro contribuciones que procuran brindar un panorama amplio de puntos de contacto entre la fenomenología y la tradición filosófica. No se trata de una historia de la filosofía desde el punto de vista fenomenológico, ni de un trabajo de búsqueda de autores “proto-fenomenológicos”. Se trata, más bien, de un ejercicio amplio en el que se integran trabajos en los que se discuten, dialogan y confrontan algunas tesis de la fenomenología con algunas de las cimas de la historia de la filosofía. Aparecen en este escenario las figuras de Parménides, Heráclito, Platón, Aristóteles, las escuelas escépticas y cirenaicas, Agustín de Hipona...
African Dynamics in a Multipolar World
Fifty years after the foundation of the OAU and the consolidation of most African states and institutions, the international panorama and Africa’s position in it have changed considerably. The world's geopolitical and economic configuration has evolved, with new actors appearing in a new period of globalization. In tone with ECAS 2013, this volume proposes that the experiences appearing in Africa question dominant paradigms in terms of political practice and academic reflection and thus offer a clear challenge to the academic community. The volume offers clues to answer questions such as: What is the impact of the current processes of globalization for African countries and African citizens? How should African Studies be engaged to gauge African dynamics, both at a local and global level? What interdisciplinary means and tools should be brought in to produce an epistemologically relevant view (or narrative) of the issues under analysis?

Reservation Reelism
In this deeply engaging account Michelle H. Raheja offers the first book-length study of the Indigenous actors, directors, and spectators who helped shape Hollywood’s representation of Indigenous peoples. Since the era of silent films, Hollywood movies and visual culture generally have provided the primary representational field on which Indigenous images have been displayed to non-Native audiences. These films have been highly influential in shaping perceptions of Indigenous peoples as, for example, a dying race or as inherently unable or unwilling to adapt to change. However, films with Indigenous plots and subplots also signify at least some degree of Native presence in a culture that l...
Visual Interventions
Visual anthropology has proved to offer fruitful methods of research and representation to applied projects of social intervention. Through a series of case studies based on applied visual anthropological work in a range of contexts (health and medicine, tourism and heritage, social development, conflict and disaster relief, community filmmaking and empowerment, and industry) this volume examines both the range contexts in which applied visual anthropology is engaged, and the methodological and theoretical issues it raises.
Principles of Visual Anthropology
This edition contains 27 articles, written by scholars and film makers who are generally acknowledged as the international authorities in the filed. The book covers ethnographic filming and its relations to the cinema and television; applications of filming to anthropological research, the uses of still photography, archives, and videotape; subdisciplinary applications in ethnography, archeology, bio-anthropology, museology and ethnohistory; and overcoming the funding problems of film production.
