Poética del relato policiaco
El policiaco es uno de los géneros más populares de los últimos ciento cincuenta años y se muestra como una de las narrativas más fértiles y resistentes de los últimos tiempos. Es un género popular que, aunque ha recibido el desprecio de muchos, ha aportado a la Literatura con mayúsculas una estructuración novedosa de los hechos de la historia narrada y la incorporación de la figura del detective a la vida de las diversas generaciones lectoras y no lectoras del género. Este libro trata de estos aspectos, de los ingredientes constituyentes de lo policiaco, de su historia y de las cuestiones teórico- literarias más relevantes que nos ayudan a entenderlo mejor.
Narratives of Vulnerability in Mexico's War on Drugs
This book explores the current human rights crisis created by the War on Drugs in Mexico. It focuses on three vulnerable communities that have felt the impacts of this war firsthand: undocumented Central American migrants in transit to the United States, journalists who report on violence in highly dangerous regions, and the mourning relatives of victims of severe crimes, who take collective action by participating in human rights investigations and searching for their missing loved ones. Analyzing contemporary novels, journalistic chronicles, testimonial works, and documentaries, the book reveals the political potential of these communities’ vulnerability and victimization portrayed in these fictional and non-fictional representations. Violence against migrants, journalists, and activists reveals an array of human rights violations affecting the right to safe transit across borders, freedom of expression, the right to information, and the right to truth and justice.
The Legacy of János S. Petőfi
János S. Petőfi (1931-2013) was one of the founders of Text Linguistics in Germany in the early ‘70s. He developed different text models, the most famous of which were the Text Structure World Structure Theory (TeSWeST) and Semiotic Textology. In this volume, some of his colleagues and disciples discuss his theoretical contributions to prove the enormous impact of his thoughts in the fields of linguistics, literary theory, rhetoric and semiotics. The essays here consider the notion of coherence, which Petőfi deemed to be the only sufficient condition for textuality, the relationships between his textual models and disciplines such as cognitive, computational and corpus linguistics, and his contributions to the analysis of literary and multimedial texts.
Functional Approaches to Culture and Translation
This volume contains a generous selection of articles on translation by Professor José Lambert (K.U. Leuven). It traces the intellectual itinerary of their author, who started out as a French and Comparative Literature scholar some four decades ago trying to get a better grip on the problem of inter-literary contacts, and who soon became a key figure in the emergent discipline of Translation Studies, where he is widely known as an indefatigable promoter of descriptively oriented research. This collection shows how José Lambert has never stopped asking new questions about the crucial but often hidden role of language and translation in the world of today. It includes some of the author's classic papers as well as a few lesser known ones that deserve wider circulation. The editors' introduction and the bibliography complete this thought-provoking survey of the career of one of the most creative researchers in the field.
Handbook on Cuban History, Literature, and the Arts
First Published in 2016. If scholarship on Cuban studies after the 1959 revolution focused on the historical and cultural aspects of the construction of a socialist order, the post-1989 crisis of socialism in Central and Eastern Europe raised questions about the island’s state as a socialist model. The scholarly gaze gradually began to focus on possibilities for alternative transformations at various levels of social life rather than on the deepening of traditional twentieth-century state socialism. This volume explores the newly emergent themes and debates about Cuban society and history.

Dejar de ser súbditos
¿Qué sentido tienen las monarquías hereditarias en el mundo contemporáneo? ¿A qué fines e intereses concretos ha servido la monarquía en España? Partiendo de una mirada histórica, contextualizada, Gerardo Pisarello analiza críticamente el devenir de las monarquías modernas y de manera concreta el de la dinastía borbónica hispana, desde Fernando VII al actual rey Felipe VI. Dejar de ser súbditos. El fin de la restauración borbónica es un ensayo penetrante, que muestra de forma convincente por qué la monarquía podría haber sellado su declive irreversible, posibilitando la apertura de nuevos horizontes republicanos. «Un ensayo “provocador” en el mejor sentido del términ...

What sort of stories are told about the nation within the state in the crime genre? How do the conventions of the crime story shape not only the production of national and cultural identities, but also their disruption? Combining criminological theories of crim...
