The Unexpected in Oral History
How is an oral historian to react when the unexpected emerges, whether in field research or interview analysis? Answers tend to be scattered throughout the scholarly literature or confined to backstage conversations. This book brings the unexpected to the center of the scene and promotes a collective reflection about ways of dealing with uneasy encounters, surprises, and interviews that seem to have gone off the rails. The contributors come from a dozen countries, especially Brazil, where a classic piece about a “great liar” paved the way for this discussion. Rather than eccentric descriptions of unusual situations, these chapters evoke a dense web of reflections about dialogue, the production of oral sources, and the complexities of personal narratives. Theoretically informed but written in an engaging language, the book presents readers with fascinating case studies of the eruptions of the unexpected that occur in oral history research.
The Oral History Reader
The Oral History Reader, now in its third edition, is a comprehensive, international anthology combining major, ‘classic’ articles with cutting-edge pieces on the theory, method and use of oral history. Twenty-seven new chapters introduce the most significant developments in oral history in the last decade to bring this invaluable text up to date, with new pieces on emotions and the senses, on crisis oral history, current thinking around traumatic memory, the impact of digital mobile technologies, and how oral history is being used in public contexts, with more international examples to draw in work from North and South America, Britain and Europe, Australasia, Asia and Africa.

Humanities
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon became the editor in 2000. The subject categories for Volume 58 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Humanities Art History (including ethnohistory) Literature (including translations from the Spanish and Portuguese) Philosophy: Latin American Thought Music

Una historia de sol y viento
Una historia de sol y viento. La danza del volador teenek de la Huasteca potosina: entre lo sagrado, lo prohibido y las declaratorias de patrimonio está hecho con base en hilar fragmentos sueltos, de pedacerías de la memoria que nos explican un poco sobre una danza ritual en honor de la fertilidad del universo, que desde tiempos remotos, significó el medio a través del cual los hombres y mujeres se juntaban a cantar, hacer música y danzar para ofrendar a la vida. Se sabe, eran muchos los días dedicados a las ceremonias para honrar a los dioses con los alimento, las velas, el humo de copal, flores y aves. Todo comenzaba al pie de un árbol, allá, en la selva.
Experiencias de salvaguardia del patrimonio cultural inmaterial
Este es un libro en el que confluyen múltiples miradas, voces y plumas para abordar un tema en común: el patrimonio cultural inmaterial y su salvaguardia. En 2013 se llevó a cabo el "II Congreso Internacional sobre Experiencias en la Salvaguardia del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial" en la ciudad de Zacatecas. Algunas de las 134 ponencias allí presentadas dieron origen a los capítulos de este libro. De esta manera, se consolida la práctica de coordinar esfuerzos para la difusión de algunas de las múltiples experiencias que se realizan tanto desde el ámbito académico como desde diversas instituciones públicas, en materia de salvaguardia del PCI. Una de las características principale...
