El paraíso del diablo: Roger Casement y el informe del Putumayo, un siglo después
Hace cien años se desarrolló en Londres un pequeño gran drama. A no mucha distancia de donde se erigió el Globe Theater, donde Shakespeare estrenó gran parte de sus obras, y también enfrentando el río Támesis, pero en la orilla contraria, encarando asimismo a un público expectante, otro Julio César, Julio César Arana, barón peruano del caucho, se hacía presente ante la comisión mixta de investigación del Parlamento británico, que los sindicaba a él y a su vasta empresa —la Peruvian Amazon Company, más conocida como la Casa Arana— del holocausto de más de cuarenta mil indígenas en el distrito colombiano del Putumayo. El porqué este patricio de Loreto se había tomado ...
Crítica literária acadêmica amazonense
No presente livro, elegemos como objeto de investigação a crítica literária acadêmica amazonense e seus itinerários pela poesia lírica do Amazonas, tendo em vista a necessidade de realizar um inventário sobre sua história e compreendê-la como um processo sociocultural. Propomos dividir e caracterizar a crítica literária em três gerações: a primeira é, em grande parte, caracterizada ou conhecida como uma crítica impressionista, subdividida em dois momentos, antes e depois do surgimento do Clube da Madrugada (1954), e pela publicação das obras dos primeiros críticos especialistas, ainda na década de 1970. A segunda, que designamos como geração de fundação, forma-se ent...
La vorágine
The novel is set in at least three different bioregions of Colombia during the rubber boom. This novel narrates the adventures of Arturo Cova, a hot-headed proud chauvinist and his lover Alicia, as they elope from Bogotá, through the eastern plains and later, escaping from criminal misgivings, through the amazon rainforest of Colombia. In this way Rivera is able to describe the magic of these regions, with their rich biodiversity, and the lifestyle of the inhabitants. However, one of the main objectives of the novel is to reveal the appalling conditions that workers in the rubber factories experience. La Vorágine also introduces the reader to the tremendous hardship of enduring the overwhelming and adverse environment of the rainforest, as the protagonists (Arturo Cova and Alicia) get lost and are unable to be found.

Integrating Zooarchaeology and Paleoethnobotany
In recent years, scholars have emphasized the need for more holistic subsistence analyses, and collaborative publications towards this endeavor have become more numerous in the literature. However, there are relatively few attempts to qualitatively integrate zooarchaeological (animal) and paleoethnobotanical (plant) data, and even fewer attempts to quantitatively integrate these two types of subsistence evidence. Given the vastly different methods used in recovering and quantifying these data, not to mention their different preservational histories, it is no wonder that so few have undertaken this problem. Integrating Zooarchaeology and Paleoethnobotany takes the lead in tackling this import...
