Una de las acepciones de la palabra huella habla de la señal que deja el ser humano en la tierra por donde pasa. Entendiendo la tierra como el territorio, en esta obra el lector encontrará un análisis de las marcas que deja un paradigma de desarrollo económico, que no tiene en cuenta el bien común y solo prioriza la creación de una supuesta riqueza: afectaciones al medioambiente, violación de derechos humanos, ataques a la población y violencias. La mejora de las condiciones materiales de vida y de los indicadores económicos es una meta legítima, pero, como se recoge en estas páginas, no al precio de pasar por encima del equilibrio socioambiental; no a costa del medioambiente y de las personas.
The mythological, folkloric, and religious beliefs of Western culture have resulted in a long and ongoing history of esoteric themes in theatre from the Middle Ages to the present in Spain and the America. Now Robert Lima, a noted comparatist, brings to bear on this material his wide knowledge of the world of the occult. Lima defines the terms "occult" and "occultism" broadly to embrace the many ways in which humans have sought to fathom a secret knowledge held to be accessible only through such supernatural agencies as alchemy, angelology, asceticism, astrology, demonolatry, divination, ecstasy, magic, necromancy, possession, Santeria, séances, voudoun, and witchcraft. The dramatic works covered range from medieval materializations of Hell to the Golden Age plays of Lope de vega, Tirso de Molina, and Calderón de la Barca, to modern stage works by Valle-Inclán, García Lorca, Casona, Miras, and a number of significant Afro-Brazilian and Caribbean dramatists. The concluding comprehensive bibliography of the drama of the occult is invaluable.
