Dissident Authorship in Mozambique: the Case of António Quadros is the first monograph on the literary works of the pennames of Portuguese poet and painter António Quadros (1933-1994). The book uses Quadros's quirky case-- a Portuguese man who lived in colonial and post-independence Mozambique, where he published poetry and prose under three pennames--João Pedro Grabato Dias, Frey Ioannes Garabatus, and Mutimati Barnabé Joãoto--to examine the question of what it means to be an author in Mozambique and how authorship changed after the end of Portuguese colonial rule. Quadros's engagement with the question of the authors' place and function in authoritarian contexts stands as a fruitful c...

The book presents both the state of the art and the latest research in an effort to unravel the various workings of the expression of emotion in discourse. It takes an inte...
Este es un libro de introducción a la Sociología. Desde el principio, comprobará el lector que la perspectiva sociológica no se asemeja al conocimiento común, sino que, por el contrario, trata de explicar con una metodología propia de las Ciencias Sociales por qué las cosas son como son. Es decir, la Sociología no solo describe la realidad social o cómo es un fenómeno social determinado, sino que trata de encontrar una explicación a ese acontecimiento o fenómeno social. Desde sus orígenes, la Sociología ha tenido esa pretensión científica de estudiar objetivamente la realidad social, de descubrir las regularidades o las leyes de la vida social.

En algunos puntos pueden ser páginas un poco densas. Hemos intentado, sin embargo, ser didácticos y sintéticos. Hemos tenido en cuenta que es una obra para...
