La vida del cine en Bogotá en el siglo XX
El presente libro trata sobre la vida del cine en el transcurso del siglo XX en la ciudad de Bogotá, tejida con las historias de sus salas, las actividades de recreación y las prácticas de sociabilidad de sus habitantes. En él recorremos cuadro a cuadro el nacimiento del público de cine con las primeras proyecciones, los comportamientos educados y maleducados de los espectadores, la seducción de las historias recreadas en la pantalla y los artilugios de la hechicera criatura. En una primera etapa, la vida del cine estuvo marcada por su mutismo, acompañado con melodías interpretadas por orquestas en vivo y carteles informativos que iban dando cuenta de los relatos cinematográficos, m...

Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

The Environment-Conflict Nexus in International Law
Unpacks key assumptions about the 'environment', its relationship with violent conflict, and the justification for its protection underlying international law.
The Ecology of War and Peace
The connection between ecology and conflict has been the object of extensive study by political scientists and economists. From the contribution of natural resource 'scarcity' to violent unrest and armed conflict; to resource 'abundance' as an incentive for initiating and prolonging armed struggles; to dysfunctional resource management and environmental degradation as obstacles to peacebuilding, this literature has exerted a huge influence upon academic discussions and policy developments. While international law is often invoked as the solution to the socio-environmental challenges faced by conflict-affected countries, its relationship with the ecology of war and peace remains undertheorised. Drawing upon environmental justice perspectives and other theoretical traditions, the book unpacks and problematizes some of the assumptions that underlie the legal field. Through an analysis of the practice of international courts, the UN Security Council, and Truth Commissions, it shows how international law silences and even normalizes forms of structural and slow environmental violence.
The Metropolis in Latin America, 1830-1930
This volume examines the unprecedented growth of several cities in Latin America from 1830 to 1930, observing how sociopolitical changes and upheavals created the conditions for the birth of the metropolis. In the century between 1830 and 1930, following independence from Spain and Portugal, major cities in Latin America experienced large-scale growth, with the development of a new urban bourgeois elite interested in projects of modernization and rapid industrialization. At the same time, the lower classes were eradicated from old city districts and deported to the outskirts. The Metropolis in Latin America, 1830–1930 surveys this expansion, focusing on six capital cities—Havana, Mexico ...
