Ausente en busca de sí
Este libro es el resultado de un experimento al que la autora llama metafóricamente simbiogénesis poética. Esta metáfora representa el proceso de diálogo entre las imágenes y las palabras que se agolpaban tratando de descifrar el momento en que ella se encontraba, entre dos lugares y dos lenguas que son entrañablemente suyas. A veces los poemas nacieron recorriendo las calles con una cámara o un teléfono mientras intentaba descubrir la mirada. Otras surgieron mientras caminaba al lado del río cuando iba al pan, o entre calles explorando nuevos lugares. Sin pensarlo, mientras regresaba a casa en el camión y estaba ahı́ haciendo nada –ensimismada con sus propios pensamientos– las palabras e imágenes se agolpaban urgiéndola a escribir aunque fuera en el teléfono. En este libro, Gabriela Coronado nos entrega una serie de fotografías y poemas intimistas entrelazados al grado de --algunas veces-- ser indistinguibles entre sí. Imágenes y palabras en fusión, en reflexión, en búsqueda permanente.
The Routledge Companion to Critical Management Studies
The scholarly field of Critical Management Studies (CMS) is in a state of flux. Against a backdrop of dramatic global shifts, CMS scholarship has lately taken a number of new and exciting directions and, at times, challenged older critical voices. Novel theoretical frameworks and diverse research interests mark the CMS field as never before. Interrogating conventional critiques of management and arguing for fresh approaches, The Routledge Companion to Critical Management Studies captures this intellectual ferment and new spirit of inquiry within CMS, and showcases the pluralistic generation of CMS scholars that has emerged in recent years. Setting the scene for a crucial period for the discipline, this insightful volume covers new ground and essential areas grouped under the following themes: Critique and its (dis-)contents Difference, otherness, marginality Knowledge at the crossroads History and discourse Global predicaments. Drawing on the expertise of an international team of contributing scholars, The Routledge Companion to Critical Management Studies is a rich resource and the perfect reference tool for students and researchers of management and organization.

Chaos Theory and the Larrikin Principle
Summary: Four social scientists from the University of Western Sydney explore management and organizations today, along with their theories and practices, as the 2008 worldwide financial crisis continues, from a perspective that questions much of the intellectual trappings of neo-liberalism. They cover what is wrong with business education, the Larrikin Principle, managerialism, neo-liberalism and its discontents, corruption, power versus goodness at the edge of chaos, soft capital and the informal polity, and culture and organizations in a global world.
Resurgent Voices in Latin America

Mayan People Within and Beyond Boundaries
Mayan People Within and Beyond Boundaries explores the Maya of Yucatan, the Maya of academic institutions and the Maya of the tourist industry. It examines the interplay between the local and the external, academic categories of the Maya, and seeks to transcend the paradoxical and incongruent relationship between the social spaces that breathe life into the categories. The notion of "shared social experience" is introduced to embody a focus on reflexivity that goes beyond the subjective position of the author and helps demystify the coexisting subjectivities characteristic of ethnographic fieldwork. It provides a basis for overcoming the exclusive focus on "author," " text," and "discourse" in contemporary postmodernist ethnography, while still conveying important ethnographic information.

Latin American Cyberculture and Cyberliterature
This collection of critical essays investigates an emergent and increasingly important field of cultural production in Latin America: cyberliterature and cyberculture in their varying manifestations, including blogs and hypertext narratives, collective novels and e-mags, digital art and short Net-films. Highly innovative in its conception, this book provides the first sustained academic focus on this area of cultural production, and investigates the ways in which cyberliterature and cyberculture in the broadest sense are providing new configurations of subjects, narrative voices, and even political agency, for Latin Americans. The volume is divided into two main sections. The first comprises...
