Acts of Intervention
Acts of Intervention traces the ways in which performance and theatre have participated in and informed the larger cultural politics of race, sexuality, citizenship and AIDS in the United States in the last fifteen years.
Getting Medieval
In Getting Medieval Carolyn Dinshaw examines communities—dissident and orthodox—in late-fourteenth and early-fifteenth-century England to create a new sense of queer history. Reaching beyond both medieval and queer studies, Dinshaw demonstrates in this challenging work how intellectual inquiry into pre-modern societies can contribute invaluably to current issues in cultural studies. In the process, she makes important connections between past and present cultures that until now have not been realized. In her pursuit of historical analyses that embrace the heterogeneity and indeterminacy of sex and sexuality, Dinshaw examines canonical Middle English texts such as the Canterbury Tales and...

The Myth of the Andalusian Paradise
A finalist for World Magazine's Book of the Year! Scholars, journalists, and even politicians uphold Muslim-ruled medieval Spain—"al-Andalus"—as a multicultural paradise, a place where Muslims, Christians, and Jews lived in harmony. There is only one problem with this widely accepted account: it is a myth. In this groundbreaking book, Northwestern University scholar Darío Fernández-Morera tells the full story of Islamic Spain. The Myth of the Andalusian Paradise shines light on hidden history by drawing on an abundance of primary sources that scholars have ignored, as well as archaeological evidence only recently unearthed. This supposed beacon of peaceful coexistence began, of course,...
Un lugar en el mundo
Un lugar en el mundo no trata de conflictos en centros de protección a la infancia, de su gestión ni de su prevención. No habla de construir vínculos ni de convivencia, ni tampoco de infancias y adolescencias maltratadas o en situación de desamparo. Este libro aborda todas estas cuestiones y muchas más. Las páginas que tienes entre manos son una guía, muy práctica y basada en ejemplos reales, que te aproximará a una serie de técnicas que llevarán a mejorar la vinculación de los chicos a las instituciones –no solo de protección– y a sus profesionales, previniendo los conflictos y gestionándolos de un modo reparador, en caso que se produzcan. Alejado de la perspectiva retributiva –el que la hace la paga–, se centra en un planteamiento restaurativo; esto es, el que la hace, tiene la obligación de reparar el daño causado y hacer lo posible para que nada parecido vuelva a suceder. Pero, ¿Cómo reparamos las relaciones en las instituciones? Y sobre todo, ¿Cómo hacemos para evitar que se dañen? Os animamos a adentraros en estas páginas para descubrirlo.
Musical ImagiNation
Long associated with the pejorative clichés of the drug-trafficking trade and political violence, contemporary Colombia has been unfairly stigmatized. In this pioneering study of the Miami music industry and Miami’s growing Colombian community, María Elena Cepeda boldly asserts that popular music provides an alternative common space for imagining and enacting Colombian identity. Using an interdisciplinary analysis of popular media, music, and music video, Cepeda teases out issues of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, and transnational identity in the Latino/a music industry and among its most renowned rock en español, pop, and vallenato stars. Musical ImagiNation provides an overview o...
