Esta obra recoge el análisis y estudio de grandes investigadores quienes han estudiado la literatura desde diferentes puntos de vista con el fin de demostrar que la literatura no es una lista de movimientos y autores. Asimismo, se ha puesto de manifiesto que la literatura es una forma de comunicación que convive con el ser humano desde sus orígenes, de manera tal que no puede ser entendida de una forma aislada.
Nos enfrentamos a un entorno marcado por un acelerado desarrollo tecnológico, volatilidad económica, transición energética, inestabilidad política y conflictos geoestratégicos. Un entorno -desde el más cercano hasta el global- en el que surgen nuevos escenarios con cambios inesperados e inestables, consecuencias impredecibles, multitud de factores interconectados y un cierto y extendido desconocimiento de las reglas de juego. Todo ello, sin duda, nos conduce a un periodo de gran incertidumbre e inestabilidad, tanto a nivel económico como social e institucional.

After the success of The Northern Clemency, shortlisted for the 2008 Man Booker Prize, Philip Hensher brings us another slice of contemporary life, this time the peaceful civility and spiralling paranoia of a small English town.
Seventeen-year-old Miguel Angel spends every minute after school at the Packing Shed, working out with the Alisal Boxing Club. He dreams of becoming a champion so he can get his mother and five siblings out of their cramped one-bedroom apartment in one of Salinas’ poorest barrios. But suddenly his life gets more complicated.

Nineteen papers examining varied responses to Romanization, and how this affects our view of the development of the Roman Empire. The traditional view of Romanization is as the triumph of a superior and more advanced culture over primitive communities, brought about by military expansion and resulting in the creation of a uniform political and cultural entity. It is only in the last twenty years that the variety of responses that Romanization elicited among the various ethnic groups, social classes, genders, spheres, and even within the same person in different conjunctures of his or her life, has begun to be appreciated. The aim of this collection of papers is to further understanding of Romanization at a formative stage; early Roman expansion in Italy. There is much evidence for bi-directional negotiation between Italian communities and Rome. Understanding the motivation of the Italian peoples to become part of a new political entity is crucial to knowing how Roman Italy was kept together for more than half a millennium. Seven papers also examine responses to Romanization in other parts of the Empire.
This forms volume three of a Corpus designed to present a complete survey of Spanish Drawings from 1400 to 1800. The present volume catalogues drawings of the Seville School from 1600 to 1650, a period quite distinct from the second half of the century in its individuality and artistic creativity, producing such great masters as Zurbaran, Pacheco and Francisco Herrera. All known drawings of the Sevillian artists of the period, some of which have only recently come to light, are here catalogued and illustrated.
