Life Embodied
The concept of vital force – the immanent energy that promotes the processes of life in the body and in nature – has proved a source of endless fascination and controversy. Indeed, the question of what vitalizes the body has haunted humanity since antiquity, and became even more pressing during the Scientific Revolution and beyond. Examining the complexities and theories about vital force in Spanish modernity, Nicolás Fernández-Medina's Life Embodied offers a novel and provocative assessment of the question of bodily life in Spain. Starting with Juan de Cabriada's landmark Carta filosófica, médico-chymica of 1687 and ending with Ramón Gómez de la Serna's avant-gardism of the 1910s,...
Positivamente negativo: Pío Baroja, ensayista
"Es un análisis maduro y penetrante de un aspecto de la obra barojiana —el ensayismo— que apenas habían tocado dos ensayos del propio Sobejano y que, sin embargo, tiene un enorme interés en el diseño general de la obra toda de Baroja: una suerte de dilatada autobiografía intelectual y emocional, estrechamente ligada con la presencia de sus lectores implícitos. La valoración de los textos y de las formas de opinar de Baroja están muy bien planteadas por el trabajo y la necesaria reflexión teórica sobre los límites y la estilística del ensayismo como género es también excelente.” José-Carlos Mainer “El libro Positivamente negativo es una de las aproximaciones más origin...
Science with the New Generation of High Energy Gamma-Ray Experiments
This is the sixth edition in a series of Workshops on High Energy Gamma-Ray Experiments, following the ones held in Perugia (2002), Bari (2004), Cividale del Friuli (2005), Elba Island (2006) and Villa Mondragone (2007). The year the focus is on the region known by the acronym VHE (Very High Energy), bridging the gap between GeV and TeV. The physics that lies in this region is of the utmost importance to improve our knowledge of many different astrophysical sources like pulsars, AGNs, GRBs, and our understanding of the main components of the Extragalactic Background Light (EBL). An update is given on the current and planned research for spaceborne and ground-based experiments dedicated to the observation of the gamma-ray sky.
Diario de una loca
Si quienes olvidan el pasado están condenados a repetirlo -como nos decía el poeta y filósofo español Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana-, imaginemos el peligro que entraña desconocer la verdadera historia de las mujeres. Una historia malintencionadamente deconstruida. La información es poder, por lo tanto la desinformación es una baza importante a favor de quienes manejan los hilos del mundo. Esto hace muy interesante que se conozca con claridad la proclama donde se sustenta el feminismo: Principio de igualdad de derechos de la mujer y el hombre. Partiendo del principio feminista de igualdad, que es en sí mismo una opción moral, me respaldo en artículos, ensayos, tesis y es...

Gauchos and Foreigners
In Gauchos and Foreigners: Glossing Culture and Identity in the Argentine Countryside Ariana Huberman discusses the relationship between the gaucho figure and the 'foreigner' in Argentine rural literature. The narratives of William Henry Hudson, Benito Lynch and Alberto Gerchunoff present English scientists and travelers, as well as Jewish and Italian immigrants, in direct contact with the gaucho in the Argentine and Uruguayan countryside. The book shows how the intent to define and translate terms from the national glossary the gaucho, his lifestyle and habitat and from 'foreign' cultures, ultimately questions these terms' capacity to represent a specific culture. It traces a series of writing practices that challenge the concepts of 'native' and 'foreign' as stable categories of representation by conveying identity and culture across multiple linguistic, social and cultural registers. The reading of these unique practices of translation hopes to offer a fresh approach to the multicultural scope of Argentine literature.
Digital Roots
As media environments and communication practices evolve over time, so do theoretical concepts. This book analyzes some of the most well-known and fiercely discussed concepts of the digital age from a historical perspective, showing how many of them have pre-digital roots and how they have changed and still are constantly changing in the digital era. Written by leading authors in media and communication studies, the chapters historicize 16 concepts that have become central in the digital media literature, focusing on three main areas. The first part, Technologies and Connections, historicises concepts like network, media convergence, multimedia, interactivity and artificial intelligence. The...
