Conquered by fog
The short stories gathered in this volume take us into a world of nostalgia and deep emotions. Characters with heightened sensitivity or in positions that call them into question show themselves without shame and reveal to us the universality of the human soul. We recognize ourselves in these confessions. With an elegant and clear style and many references to travel, Greek and Latin mythology, with a culture open to the world, Fabiana Elisa Martínez is a revelation in the literary world. "Fabiana extracts universal value from everyday situations. She is aided by her great culture, her taste for travel, her resistance to paying excessive tribute to the charms of fashion, her careful prose—which knows that a great book can be a great evil—, not just a little English humor, and knowing how to appreciate the good things in the lives we live today." From the Prologue of Conquered by Fog.
Social Sciences
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Katherine D. McCann is acting editor for this volume. The subject categories for Volume 57 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Social Sciences Anthropology Economics Geography Government and Politics International Relations Sociology
Stupidity
The short story Stupidity follows the traces of a long love affair that turns into an inane memory. A story not devoid of humor and irony that probes the depths of the human soul. Stupidity is the number 8 of the Collection Magma Solo of Pierre Turcotte Editor. This collection offers short texts that have already been published in a magazine or an anthology, for immediate reading and at a cheap price. Ideal for discovering new authors.
Cultural Hegemony in a Scientific World
This volume in political epistemology offers a comprehensive discussion of the multiple applicability of Gramscian concepts and categories to the historical, sociological, and cultural analysis of science. The authors argue that the perspective of hegemony and subalternity allows us critically to assess the political directedness of scientific practices as well as to reflect on the ideological status of disciplines that deal with science at a meta-level – historical, socio-historical, and epistemological. Contributors include: Massimiliano Badino, Javier Balsa, Lino Camprubí, Ana Carneiro, Luís Miguel Carolino, Riccardo Ciavolella, Roger Cooter, Alina-Sandra Cucu, Maria Paula Diogo, Isabel Jiménez Lucena, Annelies Lannoy, Jorge Molero Mesa, Agustí Nieto-Galan, Pietro Daniel Omodeo, Matteo Realdi, Jaume Sastre-Juan, Arne Schirrmacher, Ana Simões, Carlos Tabernero Holgado, and Carlos Ziller Camenietzki.

Saberes con sabor
Saberes con sabor: Culturas hispánicas a través de la cocina es un manual avanzado que responde al creciente interés por el estudio de las prácticas culinarias y alimenticias de Ibero-América, sin desatender ni la lengua ni la cultura de esas regiones del mundo. Cada capítulo comprende aspectos vinculados con recetas, lengua, arte y teoría. Los estudiantes son expuestos a temas de geografía, historia, literatura, política, economía, religión, música e, incluso, cuestiones de género que estarían implicadas en la elaboración y en el consumo de ciertas comidas. Y, esto, mientras mejoran sus habilidades en temas esenciales y específicos del español. A lo largo del libro, están incorporados materiales de internet —como vínculos para videos, registros sonoros, referencias históricas, sitios web de cocina y contenidos suplementarios para la investigación. Muy útil en cursos universitarios, Saberes con sabor es un recurso original y único de aprendizaje para estudiantes fascinados por los placeres del paladar y, de igual manera, con una genuina pasión por las culturas hispánicas.
Latinos in the Washington Metro Area
The Latino presence in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area has diverse roots and a rich history. The earlier residents were relatively small in number, but the Latino population increased dramatically in the late 20th century. Today, this unique Latino community is the 12th largest in the nation. While people of Salvadoran origin are the most numerous, this area is also home to those who hail from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, Spain, Uruguay, and many other nations and cultures. This book highlights the early days of the Hispanic Festival, the Central American peace movement, the struggle for civil and immigrants' rights, and notable residents. With a shared immigrant experience and broad cultural bonds, these and many other Latino residents have transformed the Washington, DC, area.

Política y desborde
Este libro reflexiona sobre varias de las transformaciones políticas vinculadas al “kirchnerismo”; reúne artículos no sólo acerca de las transformaciones en relación a los derechos humanos, la política internacional y el sistema de medios de comunicación, sino también sobre las rupturas con el pasado y las críticas que actualmente el proyecto enfrenta. Se presentan aquí diferentes lecturas de docentes e investigadores que participan en Programas de Investigación del Doctorado en Ciencia Política (Centro de Estudios Avanzados de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba) dirigido por la Dra. María Susana Bonetto, y en particular del Programa Democracia y ciudadanía en Sudamérica. Interpelados por las transformaciones, y desde diferentes aportes disciplinarios, que van desde el Análisis Político del Discurso hasta la teoría post-colonial, los autores trabajan aquí en torno a acontecimientos actuales y a algunas de las cuestiones de la “nueva agenda” política y social.
