Veneno
"Desde el punto de vista de un amigo de juventud del protagonista, esta novela recrea la la historia del uruguayo Jorge Eduardo Gonzalez, Tapita, condenado a muerte en EE UU y ajusticiado por inyeccion letal tras ser acusado del incendio de un hotel frecuentado por homosexuales en San Antonio, Texas, y consecuentemente la muerte de varios de ellos."
Affectual Erasure
Comprehensive examination of how Indigenous peoples have been represented in Argentine film. Affectual Erasure examines how Argentine cinema has represented Indigenous peoples throughout a period spanning roughly a century. Cynthia Margarita Tompkins interrelates her discussion of films with the ethnographic context of the Indigenous peoples represented and an analysis of the affective dimensions at play. These emotions underscore the inherent violence of generic conventions, as well as the continued political violence preventing Indigenous peoples from access to their ancestral lands and cultural mores. Tompkins explores a broad range of movies beginning in the silent period and includes bo...

La palabra y el oro
Hugo Fontana nos presenta la historia de Errico Malatesta y su paso por el Río de la Plata. Nos invita a recorrer la vida de un Malatesta en constante exilio (35 de sus 79 años) y, a pesar de ello, dedicado permanentemente a la causa anarquista. A fines del siglo xix, se refugió en tierras rioplatenses, donde encontró un movimiento ácrata en crecimiento, impulsado por la corriente migratoria de la época. Se involucró en la propaganda y en la organización del movimiento anarquista en Buenos Aires y en Montevideo, y promovió la formación de sindicatos históricos, como el primer sindicato argentino de panaderos. Propulsor de la necesidad de la propaganda y la concientización constan...
Intellectuals and Communist Culture
This book investigates a central chapter in the history of 20th century intellectualism: the commitment to the communist ideal and the Soviet Union. Focusing on Argentina, whose communist party was among the most important in Latin America, Petra engages with the current literature on Western communism in order to conduct an exhaustive study of the intellectuals, cultural organizations, publications, and debates within Argentine communism in the decades following World War II. Based on rigorous archival research from diverse sources, Petra’s book distances itself from existing teleological visions and institutional approaches to the communist world, offering instead a complex framework in which multiple contexts, scales, and actors frame the larger problem: the intellectual commitment to a political project that brooked no dissent. Intellectuals and Communist Culture also addresses the emergence of Peronism, a crucial movement in Argentine political life to this very day, thus offering an important chapter on Latin American political and intellectual history and an invaluable contribution to the global history of the international communist movement.
Queer Transitions in Contemporary Spanish Culture
Gema Pérez-Sánchez argues that the process of political and cultural transition from dictatorship to democracy in Spain can be read allegorically as a shift from a dictatorship that followed a self-loathing "homosexual" model to a democracy that identified as a pluralized "queer" body. Focusing on the urban cultural phenomenon of la movida, she offers a sustained analysis of high queer culture, as represented by novels, along with an examination of low queer culture, as represented by comic books and films. Pérez-Sánchez shows that urban queer culture played a defining role in the cultural and political processes that helped to move Spain from a premodern, fascist military dictatorship to a late-capitalist, parliamentary democracy. The book highlights the contributions of women writers Ana María Moix and Cristina Peri Rossi, as well as comic book artists Ana Juan, Victoria Martos, Ana Miralles, and Asun Balzola. Its attention to women's cultural production functions as a counterpoint to its analysis of the works of such male writers as Juan Goytisolo and Eduardo Mendicutti, comic book artists Nazario, Rubén, and Luis Pérez Ortiz, and filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar.

Las mil cuestiones del día
Estas trece historias, aunque noveladas, no son ficción. Son gestas de hombres y mujeres reales, personajes singulares que vivieron intensamente su tiempo y se rebelaron, con su acción y pensamiento, contra toda forma de poder. No están todos; en vez de trece, deberían ser miles. No fueron héroes ni santos de la anarquía, pero tampoco bandidos ni aventureros; solo hombres y mujeres de carne y hueso. Fueron luchadores con los que es posible tener resonancias, para afirmar hoy creativamente una acción y un pensamiento contra un salvaje capitalismo global que nos desafía. En estas historias se reúnen príncipes y educadores, obreros y campesinos, agitadores y pensadores, poetas, artesanos, sindicalistas y vindicadores que componen este gran archipiélago de anarquismos de los siglos XVIII, XIX y XX. Hugo Fontana une literatura y vida, despliega relatos que nos llevan a un intenso recorrido de un continente a otro, en tiempos distintos, y nos presenta a los protagonistas que recrean el movimiento libertario de esas épocas, manteniendo el hilo conductor de la esencia anarquista: la lucha por la libertad.
