Poéticas epistémicas y estéticas del Caribe en tiempos de tempestades
Resulta interesante y variado el enfoque que diez investigadores aportan sobre los estudios del Caribe desde diferentes ópticas. La compilación mueve los estudios desde el pensamiento, la literatura, el cine, la música, los medios audiovisuales y los enfoques de género en la enseñanza de la lengua materna en Cuba. El texto nos ofrece un amplio panorama del Caribe desde los diversos enfoques culturales y artísticos.
Crisol de la identidad de La Habana
Este libro es una selección de personajes reales, convertidos en legendarios, así como de seres místicos de la capital cubana que se proponen al lector como un diccionario no exhaustivo de criaturas devenidas, en muchos casos, en símbolos identitarios de algunos de los barrios de La Habana, propios de la imaginación de sus habitantes, surgidas como resultado de la sedimentación de quinientos años de historia de la transculturación afrocubana y de otras fuentes criollas o foráneas. Constituye, por tanto, un aporte a los estudios sobre cultura cubana.
The Notebooks of Don Rigoberto
Don Rigoberto - a rather grey insurance executive by day, a dedicated pornographer and sexual enthusiast by night - misses Lucrecia, his estranged second wife. He desperately compensates for her absence by filling his notebooks with a steamy mix of memory and sexual fantasy. Husband and wife have been separated for a year because of a sexual encounter between Rigoberto's pre-pubescent son Alfonso and his stepmother. Alfonso is a strange fey creature of angelic appearance and apparently diabolical impulses - more seducer than seduced despite his age. He visits Lucrecia's house without his father's knowledge and insists that he wants his parents to make up, having apparently forgotten the incident that caused the original break-up. Meanwhile, Rigoberto and Lucrecia are each receiving highly erotic letters which each believe to have been sent by the other but may well have been written by Alfonso. Add to all this the notebooks at the core of the novel and the reader is drawn into Don Rigoberto's own confusion between imagination and physical reality. The Notebooks of Don Rigoberto is a funny, sexy, disquieting and very compelling novel that is one of Vargas Llosa's finest works.
Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
Dictatorship, Democracy, and Globalization
The collapse of the Argentine economy in 2001, involving the extraordinary default on $150 billion in debt, has been blamed variously on the failure of neoliberal policies or on the failure of the Argentine government to pursue those policies vigorously enough during the 1990s. But this is too myopic a view, Klaus Veigel contends, to provide a fully satisfactory explanation of how a country enjoying one of the highest standards of living at the end of the nineteenth century became a virtual economic basket case by the end of the twentieth. Veigel asks us to take the long view of Argentina&’s efforts to re-create the conditions for stability and consensus that had brought such great success...
