The Indispensable Harp
A musical instrument that has played a vital role in Latin American music cultures--the harp--is the subject of this new work, the first study of its kind to be published in English. John Schechter presents a history of the harp in Spain, traces its introduction into colonial Latin America, and describes its modern roles in the diverse cultural centers of Mexico, Paraguay-Argentina-chile, Venezuela, and Peru. He then turns his focus to his own field research in the Quichua culture of northern highland Ecuador, an area that has receive considerably less scholarly attention than many of its Latin American neighbors. The reader will meet a community of harp maistrus on the slopes of Mt. Cotacac...
Biodiversidad y ecología mexicana
La compilación presenta información actual sobre temas de diversidad biológica y ecología de especies relevantes en términos de conservación, así como aspectos de uso sustentable de recursos naturales. La diversidad biológica comprende el cúmulo de organismos vivos considerando todos los niveles de su organización (genes, poblaciones, especies, comunidades, hábitats, ecosistemas y paisajes). Por su parte, la ecología busca comprender las relaciones que existen entre los organismos y los elementos bióticos y abióticos en su medio ambiente. Ambas líneas de investigación se encuentran estrechamente relacionadas y conforman la base para el aprovechamiento adecuado de los recursos naturales disponibles.
Humanities
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon became the editor in 2000. The subject categories for Volume 58 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Humanities Art History (including ethnohistory) Literature (including translations from the Spanish and Portuguese) Philosophy: Latin American Thought Music
Pessoa Coletiva e Processo Penal - Da Titularidade de Direitos Fundamentais à Pertinência de Um Processo Penal da Pessoa Coletiva
Num contexto em que as organizações assumem um elevado grau de complexidade e em que ocorre um crescimento da criminalidade no seio dos entes coletivos, emergem novas questões no quadro constitucional, ao nível do conceito de direitos fundamentais e da determinação da sua titularidade. Também no âmbito processual penal surgem matérias não equacionadas, até recentemente, pelo legislador português. Tendo presentes estes pressupostos e na sequência da extensão da responsabilidade criminal das pessoas coletivas ao direito penal clássico, esta investigação propõe-se analisar duas questões concatenadas: a possibilidade de as pessoas coletivas encontrarem proteção nas normas de direitos constitucionais, na qualidade de arguidas; e a ponderação da pertinência de um processo penal da pessoa coletiva.
