Football and National Identity in Twentieth-Century Argentina
This book examines how since its arrival in 1867 with British immigrants, football has become the key cultural signifier of national identity in Argentina over the long twentieth century. With the international exploits of players such as Luis Monti, Alfredo Di Stéfano and Diego Maradona, the sport has projected Argentina onto the global consciousness not seen in any other way. In this book, Mark Orton challenges existing myths surrounding the nativisation of football in Argentina away from British influence, as he shows how the game provided a conduit for the assimilation of millions of European immigrants in the early decades of the century into a new Argentine ‘race’. The book also examines how football gave some of the ‘voiceless others’ such as women, Afro-Argentines, indigenous people and those in the interior an arena to project themselves in an Argentine society that was masculine, white and Buenos Aires-dominated.
Neuroscience applied to soccer. Practical proposal
To say that soccer is played with your feet, it's like thinking that chess is played with your hands. The player must be in optimal condition to compete and to perform at their best level during matches. To achieve the perfection of the game models, the coaches tend to crumble the game with principles, subprinciples, more subprinciples... that allow us to explain how our team plays, and this often causes our workouts to be lost in improving isolated technical factors, that we think are the ones that make players err. Applying the benefits of neuroscience, the indicators and stimuli that we use in the training tasks will be the own of soccer, so that there is a greater transfer. There is a ve...
A maçã
Em um delicioso e, de certo modo, malicioso encontro de texto com imagem, o livro “A Maçã: o design gráfico, as mudanças de comportamento e a representação feminina no início do século XX” revela ao leitor a importância de se pesquisar a história do design – sobretudo no Brasil, onde os estudos nessa área são tão escassos. Como base na pesquisa que originou esta obra, a autora utilizou a revista “A Maçã” – publicação de vanguarda fundada nos frenéticos anos 1920, que abordava questões como a imposição da modernidade sobre o passado colonial, arte, cultura e modernismo no Rio de Janeiro, mantendo o foco na figura feminina. As ilustradas e apimentadas páginas dessa revista do século passado provaram ser também essenciais ao esboço de novos caminhos e interpretações para a profissão de designer, que parece tão moderna.
World Editors
The existence of World Literature depends on specific processes, institutions, and actors involved in the global circulation of literary works. The contributions of this volume aim to pay attention to these multiple material dimensions of Latin American 20th and 21st century literatures. From perspectives informed by materialism, sociology, book studies, and digital humanities, the articles of this volume analyze the role of publishing houses, politics of translation, mediators and gatekeepers, allowing insights into the processes that enable books to cross borders and to be transformed into globally circulating commodities. The book focusses both on material (re)sources of literary archives, key actors in literary and cultural markets, prizes and book fairs, as well as on recent dimension of the digital age. Statements of some of the leading representatives of the global publishing world complement these analyses of the operations of selection and aggregation of value to literary texts.
Readings on the Prestige disaster
In 2013, ten years after one of the biggest disasters in history environment of Spain and, it could be said, of Europe, a group of researchers, coordinated by Professor Ricardo García-Mira, have the audacity to compile in this volume a broad set of evidence empirical evidence showing that the Prestige disaster is (in the present tense, because many of its effects still survive), an environmental fact with strong political, psychological, social, economic and cultural implications. The effort made by the qualified group of researchers who appear in the list of authors is not only timely, but also of great scientific importance in order to have a complete picture of the meaning of this unfort...
Despues de todo
La literatura apocalíptica siempre ha contado el fin del mundo que conocemos como parte de una fantasía cercana al terror y a la ciencia ficción. ¿Pero que ocurre cuando ese final que atisbamos todo los dias en las crisis políticas, ambientales, económicas y sociales se hace realidad de un dia para el otro? Con honrosas excepciones, como "El Eternauta", estamos acostumbrados a leer ficción siempre en clave extranjera, en escenarios desconocidos.
Traducción y autoría: la evolución de los derechos de autor en la figura del traductor
Durante el curso académico 2012-2013 la Facultad de Traducción y Documentación de la Universidad de Salamanca ha cumplido sus primeros 20 años de vida. En el primer bloque se abordan las fuentes de información para usos especializados, área que constituye uno de los lazos indiscutibles entre nuestras disciplinas; su uso es una actividad cotidiana para los unos y su análisis una de las razones de ser para los otros. Ese interés compartido es germen de una colaboración constante, donde la selección y el empleo de la información genera caminos de ida y vuelta ineludibles. El segundo bloque se centra en un ámbito caracterizado por la vertiente social de estos campos de conocimiento, ...
Experiências visuais:
Se Aby Warburg vivesse hoje se divertiria em testar buscas nos bancos de imagens, compondo mosaicos algorítmicos. A experiência contemporânea com imagens repercute os ecos de tempos passados numa dimensão háptica das imagens. Em busca de experiências históricas com imagens atravessamos as seções deste livro encontrando, em cada uma, um conjunto de reflexões instigantes. O cruzamento das categorias de tempo e espaço como ordenadores de vivencias com as imagens habilita a composição de cenários em que reverberam visualidades de natureza plural. Imagens impregnadas de memória voltam-se aos passados compostos em busca de futuros possíveis.
