El oficio de enseñar
En esta colaboración poco común y de largo aliento entre un académico historiador y un profesional de la educación, Fernando Alanís y René Medina, ponen el dedo en la llaga de la enseñanza de la historia a nivel posgrado en México al formular la siguiente paradoja: ¿Cómo puede lograr un profesor-investigador del campo de la historia formar una nueva generación de docentes de la actual era digital de los conocimientos, si carece de una orientación pedagógica, sobre todo una acorde con los nuevos tiempos?

Preaching Power
"This book uses a gender perspective to examine sermons and other officially endorsed discourses of the Catholic Church in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Mexico City. Analyzing the different ways that, over time, gendered images, metaphors, and hagiographical examples were used in sermons and other documents, the book examines how the church negotiated challenges to its cultural and ideological hegemony. Beginning with sermons from the early eighteenth century, the author follows the evolution of church discourses as preachers reveled in Baroque analogies, embraced ideals of the Enlightenment, targeted women's alleged moral vices at times of political crisis, and ultimately turned to notions of women as ""the devout sex"" in order to combat incipient liberalism. Put another way, liberals after independence were not the only ones to assert a kind of ""republican motherhood"": preachers countered with a vision of ""Catholic motherhood"" that had great resonance in Mexico even into the twentieth century."

Overlooked Places and Peoples
This book examines the hemispheric histories of overlooked peoples and places that shaped colonial Spanish America. This volume focuses on the experiences of Native peoples, Africans and Afro-descended peoples, and castas (individuals of mixed ancestry) living in regions perceived as fringe, marginal, or peripheral. It covers a comprehensive geographic range including northern Mexico, Central America, the Circum-Caribbean, and South America, as well as a sweeping chronological period, from the earliest colonization episodes of the sixteenth century to the twilight of Spanish rule in the late eighteenth century. The chapters highlight the diverse peoples, from semisedentary and nonsedentary N...

Historia sociolingüística de México.
La riqueza y la complejidad lingüística que se dan en el vasto territorio mexicano son de suyo una incitante invitación al análisis y a la historia. Tal es el objetivo final de esta "Historia sociolingüística de México": narrar desde varias perspectivas la historia de las lenguas y, en especial, la historia de los hablantes en México a lo largo de los siglos, tanto en términos de consenso como en términos de conflicto. Múltiples miradas convergen en esta "Historia" en torno a los diversos procesos, que se han imbricado lenguas y hablantes en el paradójico México pluriétnico. Este volumen 2 recorre el complejo trayecto que va del nacionalista siglo XIX hasta finales del siglo XX, en el que va a terminar por esbozarse un nuevo rostro multilingüe y multiétnico.
Culture as Soft Power
This book contributes to bridge the gap between different scholarly communities interested in the entanglements of culture and politics in the international arena. It sheds light on existing connections in their parallel evolution with a thorough literature review, complemented by several case studies showing the fruitful character of their interdisciplinary mobilisation. Through the notions of cultural relations, intellectual cooperation and cultural diplomacy, the book draws on a soft power perspective to offer a shared, novel, and interdisciplinary theoretical framework to approach cultural institutions and organisations that have been previously examined as isolated objects: for example, cultural institutes, international organisations, literary magazines, and literary contests. The interdisciplinary nature of this volume justifies the relevance of its content for scholars working in the history of international relations, international cultural relations and intellectual history, comparative literature, sociology of literature and global literary studies.
