La violencia de género en las relaciones de pareja aborda un tema sensible para la sociedad iberoamericana, como es la violencia contra las mujeres que en particular ocurre en las relaciones de parejas heterosexuales y que inician con el anhelo femenino de encontrar el amor; el cual funciona como una trampa para ellas porque desata una serie de violencias como la prostitución, la trata de personas y el feminicidio, por mencionar algunas. De ahí la relevancia de este libro, que reúne catorce capítulos que analizan la violencia de género de manera interdisciplinaria y desde una mirada reflexiva y crítica que llevan al lector, de la mano en cada capítulo, a las investigaciones actuales acerca de la violencia contra las mujeres. Este libro contribuye en el análisis de este fenómeno complejo que es la violencia de género en las relaciones de pareja, pues deja al descubierto los mecanismos de poder que subyacen en éstas; por lo tanto, el libro aspira a ser un aporte en la tarea de lograr una vida libre de violencia para las mujeres.
El Comité Organizador del 56º Congreso Internacional de Americanistas (ICA) publica las actas del encuentro celebrado en la Universidad de Salamanca el 15 al 20 de julio de 2018. Bajo el lema «Universalidad y particularismo en las Américas», reflexionó sobre la dialéctica entre la universalidad y los particularismos en la producción de conocimiento, un diálogo en el que la necesidad de conocer los particularismos de los fenómenos sociales, políticos, artísticos y culturales obliga a formular nuevas hipótesis que enriquecen y replantean las grandes teorías generales de las ciencias y las humanidades. El carácter interdisciplinario e inclusivo que ha caracterizado al ICA desde s...

As the 21st Century unfolds, the traditional welfare state that evolved during the 20th Century faces serious threats to the solidarity that social programs were meant to strengthen. The rise of populist and nationalist parties reflects the decline of a sense of belonging and inclusiveness that mass education and economic progress were meant to foster, as traditional politics and parties are rejected by working- and middle-class individuals who were previously their staunchest supporters. Increasingly, these groups reject the growing gaps in income, power, and privilege that they perceive between themselves and highly educated and cosmopolitan business, academic, and political elites. When S...

Does Bolaño's masterpiece hint at his own life, or is the author himself a literary invention? Literary Nonfiction. After Devouring 2666 by Roberto Bola�o on the New York City subway, Jonathan Russell Clark does what any good literary critic would do�he reads everything by Bola�o he can get his hands on. But the more he learns about the writer's unlikely life, the less it makes sense. Bola�o cultivated ambiguities and false identities, almost as if he were laying a trap for his future biographers. Clark's investigation into Bola�o's magnum opus is a stumble through a labyrinth where fiction and self-mythologizing converge. This book is part of a new series from Fiction Advocate called Afterwords. "A Sontag-worthy encapsulation of another writer."--Christopher Wood, The Quarterly Conversation "If you have read 2666 and loved it, like most people who've read 2666, then AN OASIS OF HORROR IN A DESERT OF BOREDOM is something of a must-read."--D. F. Lovett
