Las humanidades digitales como expresión y estudio del patrimonio digital
Las Humanidades Digitales son, sin más, las Humanidades de hoy. E l quehacer humanista ha devenido en labor interdisciplinar, multidisciplinar y pluridisciplinar. Profundizando en esta idea, reconocemos que la base de este nuevo medio y canal se sustenta, en gran medida, en la existencia del hipertexto, podríamos afirmar que la labor del humanista del siglo XXI es hiperdisciplinar, tomando prestado el prefijo del griego clásico ὑπέρ —híper— con el significado de ‘por encima de’, ‘más allá de’. Aceptamos, así, desde este punto de vista que cualquier trabajo de y en Humanidades va más allá de lo que tradicionalmente se ha considerado nuestra disciplina, y que se actua...
Mujeres de la Hispania romana
Mujeres romanas, o no, libres o esclavas, niñas, jóvenes, ancianas, todo un espectro de la realidad femenina en Hispania, en la Roma provincial. En cada comunidad político-administrativa disponemos de un rico patrimonio que puede sacarse a la luz, y de lo que da testimonio esta obra colectiva a través de la huella que han dejado esas mujeres de la Antigüedad en diversos instrumentos materiales: esculturas, mausoleos, numismática, o epigrafía. Dieciséis aportaciones ofrecen esta mirada atenta, divididas en tres capítulos: La feminidad pagana; Otras caras de la feminidad; y Mujeres cristianas. Un visión especializada realizada por directores/as e investigadoras de museos (Museo de An...
Fantasmas del Castillo
A lo largo de los siglos hemos oído hablar de los castillos encantados, de los castillos con leyenda. Aquéllos castillos donde vive un espectro o un alma en pena, vagando por las estancias, que se les aparece a los nuevos inquilinos. Esas apariciones de espectros, de antiguos moradores del castillo, son en su mayoría personajes históricos que en su día impregnaron con su sufrimiento las paredes del castillo. Encarcelados, humillados, torturados y finalmente ejecutados, vagan por el castillo para recordarnos que estuvieron allí. En este libro se narran 65 historias de los fantasmas del castillo, esos fantasmas que no descansarán hasta hacernos llegar su mensaje...

Empty Wardrobes
A previously untranslated classic of Portuguese feminist literature originally published in 1978, Carvalho's Empty Wardrobes introduces English-speaking readers to a forgotten and underappreciated woman writer a la recent publishing sensations Lucia Berlin, Natalia Ginzburg, Ingeborg Bachmann, Silvina Ocampo, and Armonia Somers. Empty Wardrobes is a tightly plotted, highly entertaining read, that, thanks to an ingenious detached narrative technique (one that makes the plot all the more fun to revisit and rethink), is both darkly humorous and devastatingly true.
Home Reading Service
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
The Last Children of Tokyo
Yoshiro thinks he might never die. A hundred years old and counting, he is one of Japan's many 'old-elderly'; men and women who remember a time before the air and the sea were poisoned, before terrible catastrophe promted Japan to shut itself off from the rest of the world. He may live for decades yet, but he knows his beloved great-grandson - born frail and prone to sickness - might not survive to adulthood. Day after day, it takes all of Yoshiro's sagacity to keep Mumei alive. As hopes for Japan's youngest generation fade, a secretive organisation embarks on an audacious plan to find a cure - might Yoshiro's great-grandson be the key to saving the last children of Tokyo?
Writing Beyond Pen and Parchment
What can stories of magical engraved rings or prophetic inscriptions on walls tell us about how writing was perceived before print transformed the world? Writing beyond Pen and Parchment introduces readers to a Middle Ages where writing is not confined to manuscripts but is inscribed in the broader material world, in textiles and tombs, on weapons or human skin. Drawing on the work done at the Collaborative Research Centre “Material Text Cultures,” (SFB 933) this volume presents a comparative overview of how and where text-bearing artefacts appear in medieval German, Old Norse, British, French, Italian and Iberian literary traditions, and also traces the paths inscribed objects chart across multiple linguistic and cultural traditions. The volume’s focus on the raw materials and practices that shaped artefacts both mundane or fantastical in medieval narratives offers a fresh perspective on the medieval world that takes seriously the vibrancy of matter as a vital aspect of textual culture often overlooked.
