Jesuits at the Margins
In the past decades historians have interpreted early modern Christian missions not simply as an adjunct to Western imperialism, but a privileged field for cross-cultural encounters. Placing the Jesuit missions into a global phenomenon that emphasizes economic and cultural relations between Europe and the East, this book analyzes the possibilities and limitations of the religious conversion in the Micronesian islands of Guåhan (or Guam) and the Northern Marianas. Frontiers are not rigid spatial lines separating culturally different groups of people, but rather active agents in the transformation of cultures. By bringing this local dimension to the fore, the book adheres to a process of missionary “glocalization” which allowed Chamorros to enter the international community as members of Spain’s regional empire and the global communion of the Roman Catholic Church.
Experiencias de confinamiento
Estos relatos son el producto de experiencias personales que apelan a vivencias compartidas mediante un lenguaje que interviene los esquemas de la escritura académica para que los sentimientos, las experiencias de vida y las reflexiones fluyan a través de la escritura. El grupo de investigación Ciencia de la Información, Sociedad y Cultura, de la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, apuesta por nuevas formas de crear que examinen los pormenores del mundo de la información a partir de un enfoque creativo y narrativo. Este enfoque permite reflexionar y proponer una visión del mundo, al tiempo que los distintos géneros narrativos y artísticos ofrecen una perspectiva específica. Justamente, los compiladores de este proyecto, los profesores Alfredo Luis Menéndez Echavarría, Aída Julieta Quiñones Torres y Mario Fernando Cuéllar Montealegre, invitaron a los autores a que realizaran una propuesta creativa en la que se diera cuenta de esas experiencias que atravesaron durante el confinamiento producido por la COVID-19.
Kings of the Mountains
For the first time Matthew Rendell tells the little-known story of a Latin American country in which cycling is the national sport, whose sportsmen, denied the enormous benefits of prosperity, cutting-edge technology and unlimited sponsorship, have nevertheless achieved prodigious cycling feats both at home and abroad, and helped to forge for Colombia a heroic national identity. He tells of how, during the fifties, Colombia's own top cycle race, the Vuelta de Colombia, was still being held on dusty, unpaved roads - with consequentially ghastly accidents; of how the first top European cyclists who came to race in Colombia found themselves utterly vanquished by its endless mountain climbs; of how the biography of Colombia's first cycling superstar was written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Then, following the story through to the seventies and eighties, he shows how Colombia's cyclists began to make their mark abroad, even in the ultimate competition, the Tour de France - and, while they may have lacked the team discipline and the pace training to win the race itself, how to them the premier accolade was to become King of the Mountains, by beating everyone else in the Tour's most drainin

Prospecting Ocean
Investigating the entanglement of industry, politics, culture, and economics at the frontier of ocean excavations through an innovative union of art and science. The oceans are crucial to the planet's well-being. They help regulate the global carbon cycle, support the resilience of ecosystems, and provide livelihoods for communities. The oceans as guardians of planetary health are threatened by many forces, including growing extractivist practices. Through the innovative lens of artistic research, Prospecting Ocean investigates the entanglement of industry, politics, culture, and economics at the frontier of ocean excavation. The result is a richly illustrated study that unites science and a...
RETRATO DE UN NAVÍO
El calificativo rezuma deliberada meditación, porque no es poca ventura que a tus manos llegue un libro como este sobre el navío Nuestra Señora del Pilar de Zaragoza, señero protagonista de la carrera Manila-Acapulco.Veamos por qué.Ante todo, por su carácter de primicia. Hasta ahora no ha habido quien osara hurgar en el fárrago documental que escondía sus orígenes, avatares y desaparición definitiva. En segundo lugar, la presente obra constituye un acopio inverosímil de datos con su intricada urdimbre que únicamente un espíritu avizor y perito fuera capaz de desentrañar con tal maestría que lo que, de suyo, es difícil y recóndito para el profano, se torna diáfano y comprens...
