Climate and Catastrophe in Cuba and the Atlantic World in the Age of Revolution

From 1750 to 1800, a critical period that saw the American Revolution, French Revolution, and Haitian Revolution, the Atlantic world experienced a series of environmental crises, including more frequent and severe hurricanes and extended drought. Drawing on historical climatology, environmental history, and Cuban and American colonial history, Sherry Johnson innovatively integrates the region's experience with extreme weather events and patterns into the history of the Spanish Caribbean and the Atlantic world. By superimposing this history of natural disasters over the conventional timeline of sociopolitical and economic events in Caribbean colonial history, Johnson presents an alternative a...

Campus de la Diagonal

Aquest llibre presenta una reflexió acadèmica i professional al Campus de la Diagonal amb un ampli ventall d’idees urbanístiques que permeten establir un nou escenari universitari i millorar la relació amb la ciutat..Durant els anys seixanta i setanta del segle passat es varen realitzar diversos projectes d’edificis i recintes universitaris de gran interès (de Carlo, Candilis, Sert). També es varen publicar notables estudis sobre la relació entre la ciutat i la universitat..Feia, però, força anys que aquestes qüestions no semblaven ocupar l’agenda d’arquitectes, urbanistes i responsables universitaris. Per això sembla tan oportú l’esforç de recollir en aquestes poc més de dues-centes planes tot un seguit de riques reflexions i de projectes, tant aquells que responen a encàrrecs concrets de la UB i de la UPC, com aquells que han realitzat un conjunt d’estudiants per recosir i fer ciutat d’una munió d’edificis, sovint de caràcter abstret i poc permeable, tallats per una avinguda de grans dimensions i disposats sense cap visió de conjunt.

Los invertidos y otras obras

Las obras que aquí reunimos expresan la lucha del autor por la conciencia de los oprimidos y los explotados. En Los invertidos, la tesis no tiene que ver con la homosexualidad, sino con la hipocresía social de la doble moral burguesa. En El mayor prejuicio, el blanco de las críticas son las ilusiones de ascenso de la pequeña burguesía decadente. Por su parte, tanto El hijo de Agar como La mujer de Ulises cuestionan la maternidad como una obligación y la indisolubilidad del vínculo matrimonial. Pero serán las obreras quienes tendrán una necesidad imperiosa de batallar contra estos prejuicios y limitaciones, pues ni todas las mujeres son iguales, ni la diversidad en la orientación sexual es en sí misma una condena, sino que el destino de sus vidas depende de la clase a la que pertenecen.
