¿Quién es el sujeto de la discapacidad? : exploraciones, configuraciones y potencialidades
¿ Quién es el sujeto de la discapacidad? Esta pregunta, formulada en términos generales, nos hermanaba en la búsqueda desde varias áreas del conocimiento, distintas tradiciones teóricas, diversas experiencias de vida y apuestas profesionales. Las precisiones fueron llegando como multiplicidad, desdoblamientos, devenires, matices y modos de problematización. Al mismo tiempo, surgió la necesidad de acompañar colectivamente el giro decolonial que estamos transitando y la crítica poscolonial que proponemos atravesar en nuestra producción colectiva. Si bien se trataba de una indagación exploratoria, resultó nutricia en tanto posibilidad de asumir revisiones críticas de las producciones de las que hemos sido parte.Este libro, es una aventura para profundizar en el análisis y generar entramados en saltos cualitativos en torno a las disputas que venimos sosteniendo sobre las nociones hegemónicas en las que se ha pensado la discapacidadDe la Introducción.
Estudios críticos en discapacidad : una polifonía desde América Latina
Este libro es una primera invitación al diálogo, al encuentro y al intercambio plural y, al mismo tiemmpo, un llamado a dejar de lado los enfoques reguladores que tomaron como suyo (y único) el campo de la discapacidad e ir más allá, tejiendo una perspectiva nuestroamericana. Al mismo tiempo, que nos acerque para escucharnos, dialogar y arriesgarnos a interrogar ¿qué hay más allá de lo crítico? ¿Qué preguntas faltan por hacer? ¿Hacia dónde movernos para interrogar, sin esperar respuestas dadas?

The Serpent and the Rose: The Immaculate Conception and Hispanic Poetry in the Late Medieval Period
The Serpent and the Rose examines the theological and liturgical context for the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception in the Middle Ages, from primary sources in Iberian archives. Its main focus is a study of Marian poetry from Alfonso the Wise and Gonzalo de Berceo through to the poetry collections of the late fifteenth century, showing how poets took themes from the Bible and apocryphal literature, combining them to defend and praise Mary’s conception without sin. Individual chapters assess how they depicted Mary’s prefiguration in the Old Testament by the Woman who defeated the serpent, the young bride of the Song of Songs, or the semi-deity, Wisdom, how they portray her as the mystic rose and as the new Eve.

A Feminist Interpretation of the Galician-Portuguese Cantigas de Amigo
The cantigas de amigo were love poems of the thirteenth and fourteenth century courts of Portugal and Gallicia, in which women expressed their most intimate longings for their lovers. Although tradition makes male troubadours the authors and males the objects of desire, there is reason to believe that at least the earliest may have had female authorship, and some of the objects may also have been female. Schantz (Spanish, DeSales U.) explores these possibilities along with the incidence of patriarchy and even misogyny she finds, as well as the prevalence of the female voice in these love poems that were in direct defiance of male authority. She includes responses to the poetry by critics and a very interesting take on the confinements of courtly love. Annotation :2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

Mothers
From one of the most important contemporary thinkers we have, a compelling, forceful tract about women and motherhood that demands immediate attention. Moving commandingly between pop cultural references such as Roald Dahl's 'Matilda' to observations about motherhood in the ancient world, from and thoughts about the stigmatization of single mothers in the UK, Mothers delivers a groundbreaking report into something so prevalent we hardly notice. A short, provocative work that considers how motherhood the object of intense ambivalence, of idealization and hatred-is the ultimate scapegoat for everything that is wrong with the world.
