El libro presenta una diversidad de miradas al campo de estudio de las políticas públicas desde una perspectiva territorial, se muestra una serie de experiencias de investigación relacionadas con la problematización de lo público y la construcción de políticas públicas nacionales, regionales y locales en el suroccidente colombiano. Las perspectivas territoriales sugeridas en esta obra reconocen la importancia del territorio como un lugar en donde convergen relaciones de poder, actores, capacidades institucionales y diversas agendas gubernamentales de orden nacional, regional y local. Es un documento que sirve de excusa para abrir la discusión sobre lo público y los actores que se establecen en los territorios. Se entiende como público aquello que hace referencia a la inclusión social, la utilidad común (que concierne a la comunidad) y al interés colectivo (Pardo, 2016). En tal sentido, lo público y su problematización no es algo dado, resulta del trabajo de persuasión y del despliegue de diversos recursos que ofrece la democracia en materia de políticas públicas, gestión pública y participación ciudadana
Los cuentos que integran este volumen del escritor colombiano Umberto Valverde tienen ciertas cualidades y calidades no muy comunes en la narrativa joven de Colombia. Hay en ellos una eficacia verbal, una economía y dosificación del talento que indican una deslumbrante madurez y se traducen en una cierta perplejidad y "realidad" de los hechos y las gentes que pueblan estos relatos. Esos tibios atardeceres de Cali, poblados por la música afroantillana-argentino-mexicana, que solo ahí podía pasar esa irrestricta acogida, esos jóvenes que buscan un poco de brisa y una propuesta, así sea precaria y delirante al arrasador embate del sexo, y de la muerte, del hambre, y de la adolescencia, s...
Hay pocos actos más definitorios en la constitución de un campo de conocimiento que una historia que lo aborde: los autores de este libro, coordinado por dos especialistas destacados en historia urbana de América Latina, son muy conscientes de ese rol fundacional, al tiempo que su experiencia en esa rama tan particular de la historia que se centra en la ciudad, pasible de múltiples enfoques resultantes de tantas disciplinas involucradas en ella, los lleva a no abandonar la duda existencial: ¿constituye la historia urbana un campo especifico? El libro es ya una respuesta afirmativa, pero quizás lo que mejor defina los trabajos que reúne es la productividad de la dialéctica entre ese empeño y la duda sistemática, porque es esa inestabilidad esencial lo que obliga a volver a interrogarse creativamente cada vez sobre el objeto, la ciudad y su historia, pulsando una tensión conceptual que le da a esta disciplina su carácter experimental, tan auspicioso y renovador.
Longlisted for the 2020 Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence A provocative, exuberant novel about time, memory, desire, and the imagination from the internationally bestselling and prizewinning author of The Blazing World, Memories of the Future tells the story of a young Midwestern woman’s first year in New York City in the late 1970s and her obsession with her mysterious neighbor, Lucy Brite. As she listens to Lucy through the thin walls of her dilapidated building, S.H., aka “Minnesota,” transcribes her neighbor’s bizarre and increasingly ominous monologues in a notebook, along with sundry other adventures, until one frightening night when Lucy bursts into her apartment on a resc...
FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WHAT I LOVED 'An astoundingly joyful read . . . a book that shines with intellectual curiosity and emotional integrity' Guardian 'By turns funny, moving and erudite, playfully reminding us of a contemporary Jane Austen' Daily Mail After Mia Fredricksen's husband of thirty years asks for a pause - so he can indulge his infatuation with a young French colleague - she cracks up (briefly), rages (deeply), then decamps to her prairie childhood home. There, gradually, she is drawn into the lives of those around her: her mother's circle of feisty widows; the young woman next door; and the diabolical teenage girls in her poetry class. By the end of the ...
Working medievalists are often the only scholar of the Middle Ages in a department, a university, or a hundred-mile radius. While working to build a body of focused scholarly work, the lone medievalist is expected to be a generalist in the classroom and a contributing member of a campus community that rarely offers disciplinary community in return. As a result, overtasked and single medievalists often find it challenging to advocate for their work and field. As other responsibilities and expectations crowd in, we come to feel disconnected from the projects and subjects that sustain our intellectual passion. An insidious isolation even from one another creeps in, and soon, even attending a co...

Excerpt from Lyle Family: The Ancestry and Posterity of Matthew, John, Daniel and Samuel Lyle, Pioneer Settlers in Virginia The aim of this book is to preserve to posterity facts of interest per taining to the Lyle family. That the book has errors is more than probable, since much of the information received in correspondence was variable in dates and in the spelling of proper names. For such errors as appear, the explanation lies in my telling the tale as told to me. It has taken years to gather what the book contains. But a few years of delay would have made almost impossible of discovery many of the facts that are presented. In successful effort, in obliging pos. About the Publisher Forgo...
