Arquitecturas insurgentes

La insurgencia, según David Harvey, invita al arquitecto a reconocer otros teatros diferentes a los propios y, por consiguiente, a descubrir el rico y diverso panorama de la ciudad informal, cuya autoformación representa un amplio espectro de prácticas y maneras de entender y de atenderla, muy oportunas para la innovación teórica. De este tema se ocupa Arquitecturas insurgentes, que recoge, en dos partes, las exposiciones y las discusiones planteadas en el foro que, con el mismo nombre, tuvo lugar en 2016. La primera parte presenta algunos relatos sobre resistencias de las comunidades en entornos edificados informalmente en el corregimiento de Vallecito (en el sur del departamento de Bo...

Natives, Iberians, and Imperial Loyalties in the South American Borderlands, 1750–1800

This book examines the efforts of Spaniards and Portuguese to attract Native peoples and other settlers to the villages, missions, and fortifications they installed in a disputed area between present-day Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. The first part examines how autonomous Native peoples and those who lived in the Jesuit missions responded to the Indigenous policies the Iberian crowns initiated following the 1768 expulsion of the Society of Jesus. The second part examines military recruitment and supply circuits, showing how the political centers’ strategy of transferring part of the costs and delegating responsibilities to local sectors shaped interactions between officers, soldiers, Natives, and other inhabitants. Moving beyond national approaches, the book shows how both Iberian empires influenced each other and the lives of the diverse peoples who inhabited the border regions.

Germany and the Diplomacy of the Financial Crisis, 1931

Using documents only recently available, this pioneering book explores the interaction of German, British, French, and American policy at a time when the great depression and the growing political power of the Nazis had created a European crisis--the only such crisis between 1910 and 1941 in which the United States played a leading role. The author uses contemporary records to rectify the later accounts of such participants as Herbert Hoover, Julius Curtius, and Paul Schmidt. He describes the negotiations of the major powers arising out of the Austro-German plans for a customs union, and relates this problem to the question of terminating reparations and war debts. He shows how the Governor ...

*** 365 joy filled tasks to make your life more engaging, fun, caring and jolly *** "There are little things we can all do that can make a huge difference to our lives and to the lives of those around us. Doing something jolly every day that you can look back on with a smile and be grateful for, knowing it has also brought kindness to others, can gently help replace old negative thought patterns with more positive ones. The tasks included in this little book are designed to be universal and free (or as cheap as possible). And all the ideas here, however silly they may seem, offer genuine and healthy ways to change the way we feel for the better.

Advertising Empire

David Ciarlo offers an innovative visual history of each of these transformations. Tracing commercial imagery across different products and media, Ciarlo shows how and why the "African native" had emerged by 1900 to become a familiar figure in the German landscape, selling everything from soap to shirts to coffee. The racialization of black figures, first associated with the American minstrel shows that toured Germany, found ever greater purchase in German advertising up to and after 1905, when Germany waged war against the Herero in Southwest Africa. The new reach of advertising not only expanded the domestic audience for German colonialism, but transformed colonialism's political and cultural meaning as well as, by infusing it with a simplified racial cast.
