“De la historia está casi ausente”, dijo de la mujer Virginia Woolf en su obra Un Cuarto Propio, en la que nos hizo ver que en la historiografía del momento la mujer era invisible. Tiempo después la Historia Cultural rescató a los subalternos y los espacios conocidos como de la vida privada, y con ellos a la figura femenina, pero sin considerarla en sí misma ni con una perspectiva de género. Fue hasta que surgieron los movimientos feministas de los años sesenta del siglo XX que se comenzó a desarrollar una historiografía propia de la mujer, la cual consistía específicamente en rescatar su importancia como sujeto histórico. En lo personal, como mujer y como historiadora me sur...
¿Desde cuándo es posible hablar de mujeres en el mundo del libro? ¿Cómo la historia del libro latinoamericano ha narrado —o no— los aportes que ellas han hecho en el ámbito editorial? Durante siglos, las impresoras, editoras, tipógrafas, encuadernadoras y libreras han sido invisibilizadas o relegadas en los estudios sobre la edición. Esta obra, que reúne los trabajos de veintiocho investigadoras de distintas disciplinas, aborda casos, panoramas, problemas, metodologías y fuentes documentales, con el fin de valorar los diversos aspectos del papel que han tenido las mujeres en el mundo del libro en Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, España, Guatemala, México, Perú, República Dominicana y Uruguay, entre los siglos XVII y XXI. En el marco de este campo, aún reciente y poco explorado, Las mujeres y los estudios del libro y la edición en Iberoamérica establece una línea de investigación con la que se espera incentivar futuras historias del libro y la edición de Latinoamérica, en las que, de forma articulada y sistemática, las voces de las mujeres sean incluidas, visibilizadas e iluminadas.
The World Justice Project (WJP) joins efforts to produce reliable data on rule of law through the WJP Rule of Law Index 2016, the sixth report in an annual series, which measures rule of law based on the experiences and perceptions of the general public and in-country experts worldwide. We hope this annual publication, anchored in actual experiences, will help identify strengths and weaknesses in each country under review and encourage policy choices that strengthen the rule of law. The WJP Rule of Law Index 2016 presents a portrait of the rule of law in each country by providing scores and rankings organized around eights factors: constraints on government powers, absence of corruption, ope...
The development of civilization entails a growing demand for consumer goods. A side effect of the production and use of these materials is the production of solid waste and wastewater. Municipal and industrial wastewater usually contains a large amount of various organic compounds and is the main source of pollution of the aquatic environment. Therefore, the search for effective methods of wastewater and other polluted water treatment is an important element of caring for the natural environment. This book presents research on the determination and removal of environmentally hazardous organic compounds from aqueous samples. The articles included in this book describe the results of examinati...
Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, known as "The Tenth Muse" of America, has been widely anthologized as a poet, intellectual, and defender of women's rights. Her calling as a nun, often overlooked, is clear in THE DIVINE NARCISSUS, an allegory ostensibly written to explain Christian concepts to the Aztecs whose plight under colonization it also dramatizes. This is the first English translation of this revealing work.
