"Luego de varios años de publicada la primera edición de esta obra. Mas en ese periodo de tiempo se ha dado una importante modificación del artículo 107 del Código Penal peruano que, a manera de una segunda reforma, ha extraído el feminicidio de los ámbitos del parricidio típico para trasladarlo al artículo 108-B del referido texto penal sustantivo, por lo que se detecta una frontera genéricamente delimitada entre ambos delitos. Conscientes que la supresión de la figura autónoma del parricidio en ciertos textos penales codificados no ha eliminado —ni podrá hacerlo— los hechos mismos de parricidio es que se ha optado por actualizar la obra y dirigirla hacia la Patria Grande, ...
"Si la política fue definida alguna vez como el arte y la ciencia de gobernar, la litigación también puede ser definida en ese sentido; esto es, como el arte y la ciencia de litigar en un proceso o causa judicial. Eso es efectivamente la litigación oral en estos días. Su importancia resulta trascendental en momentos de cambio o tránsito de modelo procesal penal; esto es, en lo específico, del modelo inquisitivo mixto al modelo acusatorio garantista (llamado también acusatorio adversarial). No siendo la litigación oral precisamente un concurso de oratoria ni algo por el estilo, el nuevo sistema procesal penal, anclado en la publicidad y oralidad correspondiente, requiere de una técnica, como es concretamente la litigación oral, la misma que sin la publicidad del caso no tiene mucho sentido que digamos, pues un sistema oral cerrado en la privacidad del sumario no se diferencia mucho del sistema escrito, al cambiarse tan sólo de medio y no así de finalidad. En esa medida, el sistema procesal le da sentido a la litigación oral si y sólo si se garantiza la publicidad dentro de dicho sistema". Iván Pedro Guevara Vásquez.
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
A large general bibliography is included."--BOOK JACKET.
'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.
First published in 1987 (this second edition in 1992), the Handbook of Latin American Literature offers readers the opportunity to explore this literary history in the English Language and constitutes an ideological approach to Latin American Literature. It provides both concise information concerning particular authors, works, and literary traditions of Latin America as well as comprehensive material about the various national literatures of the area. This book will therefore be of interest to Hispanic scholars, as well as more general readers and non-Hispanists.
Text in English & Spanish. This book on the Chilchos Valley in the northeastern slopes of the Andes in Peru attempts to understand how human activities have changed the landscape in the montane forests during the last 500 years. Settlements and terraces from the Chachapoya and Inca cultures in the Ceja de Selva (high jungle) witness of an ample use in pre-Hispanic times. Later after a drastic declination of the population in the colonial period the Chilchos Valley was forgotten in hundreds of years and then rediscovered and revisited in 1900. Within the stage of rediscovering the valley, new socio-cultural processes of adaptation to the environment began with migrations from the Sierra. This book includes archaeological, historical, sociological and botanical studies of a corner of Peru, which has hitherto not been given much scientific attention.
David Whisnant provides a comprehensive analysis of the dynamic relationship between culture, power, and policy in Nicaragua over the last 450 years. Spanning a broad spectrum of popular and traditional expressive forms--including literature, music, film, and broadcast media--the book explores the evolution of Nicaraguan culture, its manipulation for political purposes, and the opposition to cultural policy by a variety of marginalized social and regional groups. Within the historical narrative of cultural change over time, Whisnant skillfully discusses important case studies of Nicaraguan cultural politics: the consequences of the unauthorized removal of archaeological treasures from the co...
