Luz sobre oscuridad
Luz sobre oscuridad reúne quince textos en torno a películas documentales programadas en el Festival Internacional de Cine Documental de la Ciudad de México, DOCSDF. El libro surge a partir de la colaboración entre los directores del festival Inti Cordera y Pau Montagud y la iniciativa de Adolfo Soto, gestor cultural e investigador especializado en estudios sobre documental y radicado en Mexicali. El libro agrupa un abanico de miradas heterogéneas a partir de las películas seleccionadas. Los textos repasan perspectivas cinematográficas, antropológicas, históricas y filosóficas atravesando la crítica, el análisis y la reseña.
Redescubriendo el archivo etnográfico audiovisual
Este libro ofrece múltiples aproximaciones desde distintas disciplinas a la producción fílmica del Archivo Etnográfico Audiovisual (AEA) del Instituto Nacional Indigenista (INI). Dicho corpus de cine etnográfico fue producido entre 1978 y 1995 con el fin de documentar para la posteridad diferentes aspectos socioculturales de los pueblos indígenas de México. Los filmes del AEA reflejan una forma particular de mirar y representar la diversidad cultural, despliegan un entramado de significados, imaginarios y estereotipos en torno a los pueblos originarios de nuestro país, en una época de profundas transformaciones en México y el mundo. El AEA comprende alrededor de cincuenta películas de diferentes duraciones y mucho material fílmico sin editar, resguardado actualmente en el Acervo de Cine y Video Alfonso Muñoz del Instituto Nacional de los Pueblos Indígenas (INPI). Los catorce textos que conforman esta publicación buscan motivar a los lectores a conocer o redescubrir este patrimonio audiovisual, nos ofrecen pistas y claves para apreciar su enorme riqueza, que por muchos años ha pasado inadvertida y aún permanece en estado latente.
Cuerpo y cámara: la experiencia documental mexicana (2000-2020)
A decir de Juan Alberto Apodaca en el prólogo de esta publicación, las experiencias cinematográficas dispuestas en este libro invitan a sus lectores a evidenciar la diversidad del documental mexicano contemporáneo como pieza artística, como propuesta política, como rastros de realidad nunca total, pero que en su parcialidad detonan y complejizan los puntos de vista de realizadores, de investigadores y del público que, en esas historias nos reflejamos nosotros mismos en una búsqueda permanente de sentido ante la apabullante realidad que nos atraviesa.
Blurred Boundaries
Blurred Boundaries explores decisive moments when the traditional boundaries of fiction/nonfiction, truth and falsehood blur. Nichols argues that a history of social representation in film, television and video requires an understanding of the fate of both contemporary and older work. Traditionally, film history and cultural studies sought to place films in a historical context. Nichols proposes a new goal: to examine how specific works, old and new, promote or suppress a sense of historical consciousness. Examining work from Eisenstein's Strike to the Rodney King videotape, Nichols interrelates issues of formal structure, viewer response and historical consciousness. Simultaneously, Blurred...
Roberto Down the Right Path
This novel was translated due to the popularity of the novel in Spanish. More than 21 editions in Spanish of 45,000 books each have been sold, the success of the topic, the passion to overcome poverty and the understanding of a group in society eagered for guidance and to become better. ABOUT THE NOVELWith a clear, straightforward prose, this novel explores the causes and consequences of youth gangs, a searing social situation that is real and growing in today's society. In this novel, Rose Marie Tapia captures the lives of those affected by the degradation of today's society and describes how all must cope with the consequences. The theme is based on a vision, a proposal of change, to reverse the process of attitudes that threaten to destroy our basic human values, and to find solutions to neutralize society's progress toward self-destruction.
Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics
Bioinformatics is a rapidly growing branch of science, which integrates the concepts of biology, engineering, mathematics and computer science in order to develop software tools. These tools are used in analyzing and interpreting biological data. Functional genomics is a sub-field of molecular biology, which uses the tools of bioinformatics to understand the diverse aspects of genes such as regulation of gene expression, DNA sequencing, gene transcription, protein-protein interactions, etc. There has been rapid progress in these fields and their applications are finding their way across multiple industries. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth information about the theory and practice of bioinformatics and functional genomics. Students, researchers, experts, geneticists, biologists and biological engineers will benefit alike from this book.
Biology of Myelomonocytic Cells
Myelomonocytes are the multipotent cells in the stage of blood cell differentiation, which mainly comprise blood monocytes, tissue macrophages and subset of dendritic cells. Actually, their position and ability of judgement of the health of tissue or organ environment are the key initiators of tissue-specific immune response in a local and global fashion. Interestingly, the morpho-functional aspects of this group of cells vary to a wide range with their positional diversity. Their ability to communicate or represent the tissue microenvironment to the peripheral immune system and efficiency to engage the system to effector activation hold the key for a successful immune endeavour. The present volume shows some glimpses of such an extensive area of current immunology research.
Ideology and the Image
To what degree, Nichols asks, does ideology inform images in films, advertising, and other media? Does the cinema or any other sign system liberate or manipulate us? How can we as spectators know when the media are subtly perpetuating a specific set of values? To address these issues, the author draws from a variety of approaches -- Marxism, psycholanalysis, communication theory, semiotics, structuralism, the psychology of perception. Working with two interrelated theories -- ideology and image-systems, and ideology and principles of textual criticism -- Nichols shows how and why we make emotional investments in sign sytsems with an ideological context.

Collecting Visible Evidence
In documentary studies, the old distinctions between fiction and nonfiction no longer apply, as contemporary film and video artists produce works that defy classification. Coming together to make sense of these developments, the contributors to this book effectively redefine documentary studies. They trace the documentary impulse in the early detective camera, in the reenactment of battle scenes from World War I, and in the telecast of the Nevada A-Bomb test in 1949. Other topics include experiments in virtual reality; the crisis of representation in anthropology; and video art and documentary work that challenges the asymmetry of the postcolonial Us/Them divide.
