En este libro se presentan las diferentes formas a través de las cuales creyentes católicos, evangélicos y budistas dan sentido a sus experiencias de sufrimiento (por ejemplo, el duelo, la enfermedad y la pobreza), empleando para ello sus sistemas de creencias y elementos que provienen de otros ámbitos, tales como la familia, los medios de comunicación y la medicina.
El cuerpo, la comunicación y las emociones. Encontrarán aquí textos que tratan sobre la relación entre estos tres aspectos. Estamos hablando de reflexiones teóricas con una clara perspectiva de género, pero apoyadas en trabajos empíricos y en el contacto directo: neurociencia y fenomenología; el giro afectivo en las ciencias sociales; la envidia y el acoso escolar juvenil; las prácticas artísticas feministas desde el arte contemporáneo; la irrupción del amor romántico en los proyectos de vida; cuerpo y sufrimiento desde diversas religiones, y el periodismo de resistencia hecho por mujeres. A diferencia de la mayor parte de los estudios, aquí no se habla sobre cómo los medios representan el cuerpo. Aquí, el cuerpo, como productor de sentido, de afectos y emociones, se sitúa en el centro: cuerpos emocionados, cuerpos silenciados, cuerpos en movimiento, cuerpos discriminados, cuerpos transgresores... nuestros cuerpos.

'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.
Partners in Conflict examines the importance of sexuality and gender to rural labor and agrarian politics during the last days of Chile’s latifundia system of traditional landed estates and throughout the governments of Eduardo Frei and Salvador Allende. Heidi Tinsman analyzes differences between men’s and women’s participation in Chile’s Agrarian Reform movement and considers how conflicts over gender and sexuality shape the contours of working-class struggles and national politics. Tinsman restores women to a scholarly narrative that has been almost exclusively about men, recounting the centrality of women’s labor to the pre-Agrarian Reform world of the hacienda during the 1950s ...
