Durango. Esbozos del siglo XX

Los seis capítulos que incluye la presente obra provienen del Cuerpo Académico Desarrollo regional, Historia y Género. Se analizan las prácticas en torno al desarrollo en una comunidad indígena al sur de Durango, y en un segundo capítulo, el nacimiento, evolución y declive de la Compañía Maderera de Durango S.A. Un cuestionario enviado para integrar la representación mexicana en la Exposición Universal de París de 1889 nos permite conocer al Instituto Juárez de aquellos años. Además se presenta un ensayo sobre los movimientos estudiantiles en el siglo xx duranguense. La reglamentación de la prostitución en la ciudad de Durango (1866-1903) y un estudio teórico de la violencia de género en adolescentes constituyen los capítulos finales de este volumen.

El Instituto de Investigaciones Históricas y la historia académica.

Este libro rastrea y analiza el quehacer del Instituto de Investigaciones Históricas de la UJED, a lo largo de las cuatro décadas que van desde su creación a la actualidad (1979-2019). El propósito es hacer un balance de lo producido en cuarenta años por el conjunto de académicos que, desde la Institución, han contribuido al desarrollo del conocimiento histórico del norte mexicano. Concentra la información que fue posible acopiar por la vía de la entrevista, de la investigación, de los recuerdos y del análisis de la producción de los investigadores que han transitado por el Instituto en sus cuarenta años de existencia, y constituye un valioso documento por ser una especie de mirada íntima a la vida y obra de los investigadores del IIH.

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

Women, Business and the Law 2021

  • Categories: Law

Women, Business and the Law 2021 is the seventh in a series of annual studies measuring the laws and regulations that affect women’s economic opportunity in 190 economies. The project presents eight indicators structured around women’s interactions with the law as they move through their lives and careers: Mobility, Workplace, Pay, Marriage, Parenthood, Entrepreneurship, Assets, and Pension. This year’s report updates all indicators as of October 1, 2020 and builds evidence of the links between legal gender equality and women’s economic inclusion. By examining the economic decisions women make throughout their working lives, as well as the pace of reform over the past 50 years, Women, Business and the Law 2021 makes an important contribution to research and policy discussions about the state of women’s economic empowerment. Prepared during a global pandemic that threatens progress toward gender equality, this edition also includes important findings on government responses to COVID-19 and pilot research related to childcare and women’s access to justice.

In Place of Gods and Kings

In Place of Gods and Kings presents a new reading of an important manuscript that has long been considered the foremost colonial-era source for information related to the indigenous inhabitants of the Mexican state of Michoacán. Drawing on recent trends in literary studies that call into question the universal validity of notions such as the unitary author and the primacy of alphabetic writing over oral and pictorial traditions, Cynthia L. Stone shows how this early relación (c. 1538-41) weaves together narrative strands representing the distinctive voices of four primary contributors. According to the Franciscan compiler, Jerónimo de Alcalá, the manuscript is a testament to enlightened ...

The face of the divine feminine can be found everywhere in Mexico. One of the most striking features of Mexican religious life is the prevalence of images of the Virgin Mother of God. This is partly because the divine feminine played such a prominent role in pre-Hispanic Mexican religion. Goddess images were central to the devotional life of the Aztecs, especially peasants and those living in villages outside the central city of Tenochtitlan (present day Mexico City). In these rural communities fertility and fecundity, more than war rituals and sacrificial tribute, were the main focus of cultic activity. Both Aztec goddesses and the Christian Madonnas who replaced them were associated, and sometimes identified, with nature and the environment: the earth, water, trees and other sources of creativity and vitality. This book uncovers the myths and images of 22 Aztec Goddesses and 28 Christian Madonnas of Mexico. Their rich and symbolic meaning is revealed by placing them in the context of the religious worldviews in which they appear and by situating them within the devotional life of the faithful for whom they function as powerful mediators of divine grace and terror.
