Sound in Motion: Cinema, Videogames, Technology and Audiences is a collective volume that sheds more light on the intimate relationship between music and audiovisual culture in contemporary society. This book brings together researchers from different parts of the world, from the USA to Brazil, through Spain, Georgia, France and Austria, to understand, from different perspectives, a global phenomenon. It includes indispensable studies on music and cinema (revisited from a multicultural perspective), as well as original research on music in videogames and television, and the study of the real impact of technological development on musical and artistic production. It also gathers chapters which explore the relationship between all these processes with the configuration of new audiences of which (maybe without knowing) we are already a part.
El volumen que aquí se presenta surge como resultado del simposio "Los nuevos métodos de producción y difusión musical de la era post-digital" desarrollado en la Universidad de Zaragoza el 10 de noviembre de 2017, dentro del VII Congreso de Investigación en Comunicación e Información Digital CICID 2017. Este encuentro científico ha reunido a investigadores de España, Portugal, Brasil, Venezuela, Italia y Australia, centrándose en el papel de la música en las relaciones sociales actuales y poniendo de relieve el término post-digital para describir el estado de normalización digital en el que nos encontramos. Superado el período de transición hacia lo digital, las entendidas como "nuevas tecnologías" han dejado de ser nuevas para convertirse en parte integrante de nuestras vidas.Los investigadores participantes han afrontado este análisis desde diferentes perspectivas.

El cinema que es fa a Catalunya és quantitativament més important del que pot semblar a primera vista. Aquest llibre, dissenyat en forma de diccionari, comença el dia després de la mort de Franco i acaba l'1 d'octubre de 2003. Durant aquest període de temps, 228 directors catalans o formats a Catalunya i 172 directors de fora del nostre país han realitzat 795 llargmetratges cinematogràfics. 234 empreses catalanes els han produït (o coproduït). Les xifres són més significatives que les paraules: més de vint produccions cada any i, el que és encara més important, amb una tendència ascendent gràcies a les noves possibilitats de l'audiovisual. Certament, no totes les pel·lícules han sigut grans èxits, i en el seu pròleg en Ventura Pons explica el perquè, i hi afegeix que "el cinema d'aquests darrers anys s'ha encarat més cap a uns productes de recerca, de risc, d'alt interès temàtic o formal d'un notable nivell", un cinema molt més apreciat en els festivals estrangers que en el nostre propi país. Per això, el cinema fet a Catalunya segueix essent el gran desconegut.

Based on the proceedings of a workshop held at Seville University in 2015, this book looks at several series of amphorae created in the Late Republican Roman period, sharing a generally ovoid shape in their bodies – a group of material which, until now, has rarely been studied.
This updated second edition of Acute Ischemic Stroke: Imaging and Intervention provides a comprehensive account of the state of the art in the diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke. The basic format of the first edition has been retained, with sections on fundamentals such as pathophysiology and causes, imaging techniques and interventions. However, each chapter has been revised to reflect the important recent progress in advanced neuroimaging and the use of interventional tools. In addition, a new chapter is included on the classification instruments for ischemic stroke and their use in predicting outcomes and therapeutic triage. All of the authors are internationally recognized experts and members of the interdisciplinary stroke team at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. The text is supported by numerous informative illustrations, and ease of reference is ensured through the inclusion of suitable tables. This book will serve as a unique source of up-to-date information for neurologists, emergency physicians, radiologists and other health care providers who care for the patient with acute ischemic stroke.
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
