Oy, My Buenos Aires
Between 1905 and 1930, more than one hundred thousand Jews left Central and Eastern Europe to settle permanently in Argentina. This book explores how these Yiddish-speaking Ashkenazi immigrants helped to create a new urban strain of the Argentine national identity. Like other immigrants, Jews embraced Buenos Aires and Argentina while keeping ethnic identities—they spoke and produced new literary works in their native Yiddish and continued Jewish cultural traditions brought from Europe, from foodways to holidays. The author examines a variety of sources including Yiddish poems and songs, police records, and advertisements to focus on the intersection and shifting boundaries of ethnic and na...
Affectual Erasure
Comprehensive examination of how Indigenous peoples have been represented in Argentine film. Affectual Erasure examines how Argentine cinema has represented Indigenous peoples throughout a period spanning roughly a century. Cynthia Margarita Tompkins interrelates her discussion of films with the ethnographic context of the Indigenous peoples represented and an analysis of the affective dimensions at play. These emotions underscore the inherent violence of generic conventions, as well as the continued political violence preventing Indigenous peoples from access to their ancestral lands and cultural mores. Tompkins explores a broad range of movies beginning in the silent period and includes bo...
Going Beyond
This volume looks at sustainable protection and sustainable use of cultural and natural heritage, particularly in view of the current challenges of the 21st century. For more than 40 years the World Heritage Convention has regulated the protection of the cultural and natural heritage of humankind, particularly in that heritage shall be protected if it is threatened by modern development. The international community has also adopted sustainability and sustainable development, as objectives to facilitate the protection of cultural and natural heritage. Sustainable heritage protection and use must therefore be preserved in the face of the global challenges it faces and must be perceived in terms of societal, political and corresponding economic paradigms.
Argentina
El extenso territorio argentino, habitualmente simbolizado por su infinita pampa, contiene, sin embargo, una diversidad de paisaje que sorprenden por la magnitud de sus contrastes. Abarcarlo es una aventura que un viajero dificilmente pueda colmar en una sola vivencia. Cuando el lector viaje con Florian von der Fecht a traves de los paisajes que configuran la geografia argentina, comprendera el porque de aquella presuncion.
The New Jewish Argentina
Congratulations to Adriana Brodsky and Raanan Rein whose edited volume has been chosen as the winner of the 2013 Latin American Jewish Studies Association Book Prize! The New Jewish Argentina aims at filling in important lacunae in the existing historiography of Jewish Argentines. Moving away from the political history of the organized community, most articles are devoted to social and cultural history, including unaffiliated Jews, women and gender, criminals, printing presses and book stores. These essays, written by scholars from various countries, consider the tensions between the national and the trans-national and offer a mosaic of identities which is relevant to all interested in Jewis...

Playlist las canciones de mi muerte
Para entender lo que pasó con su mejor amigo Hayden, Sam tiene que confiar en la lista de canciones y en su memoria. Pero cuanto más escucha se da cuenta de que su memoria no es tan confiable como creía. Especialmente cuando alguien que pretende ser Hayden le manda mensajes enigmáticos, al mismo tiempo que comienza una serie de ataques contra los matones que le hicieron la vida imposible a su amigo. Sam sabe que tiene que enfrentar lo que ocurrió esa noche. La única manera: quitarse los auriculares y abrir los ojos a las personas que lo rodean (incluyendo una chica excéntrica e impredecible, también llena de secretos) para poder desentrañar la historia de su mejor amigo. Y quizás llegar a cambiar la suya propia.
De la autoestima al egoísmo
¿Qué significa autoestimarse? Las cuestiones que son útiles para algunos no lo son para todos. Entre el Yo ideal y el Yo real hay una gran distancia. ¿Merece la pena recorrerla? Egoísta, ególatra, egocéntrico ¿son sinónimos? ¿Tener miedo es estar asustado, ser fóbico o algo diferente? Si no siento culpa, ¿soy una persona irresponsable? Buscando respuestas recorremos un camino de vida, que va "de la autoestima al egoísmo", guiados por la sabiduría de Jorge Bucay y sus estimulantes relatos.
