Expresión y sentido son conceptos abordados por múltiples perspectivas de las ciencias sociales y las humanidades en nuestra contemporaneidad, debido a su abarcabilidad y amplio alcance. Quizás sea este el motivo por el cual estos conceptos (junto con otros como, por ejemplo, "representación") hayan sido tomados de manera superficial en muchos casos en los que fueron puestos en foco. Por ello, esta publicación contribuye en esclarecer y profundizar las problemáticas del sentido y de la expresión a partir de la complejidad; lo que resulta en aportes enriquecedores en torno a todo lo que se pueda plantear sobre ellas. En principio es posible sostener que toda producción discursiva impl...

Many people take citizenship for granted, but throughout history it has been an embattled notion. This unique book presents a new perspective on citizenship, treating it as a continuous focal point of dispute. Written by scholars from Brazil, France, Britain, and the United States, it offers an international and interdisciplinary exploration of the ways different forms and practices of citizenship embody contesting entanglements of politics, culture, and power. In doing so, it offers a provocative challenge to the ways citizenship is normally conceived of and analyzed by the social sciences and develops an innovative view of citizenship as something always emerging from struggle.
For the 21st century, the often-quoted citation ‘past is prologue’ reads the other way around: The global present lacks a historical narrative for the global past.

Georges Simenon's 75 novels and 28 short stories that feature Chief Inspector Jules Maigret provide us with a great deal of information about the French police detective--but only in small, episodic doses. As readers become acquainted with Maigret one detail at a time, he slowly takes on a flesh-and-bone realism--not merely a character in a story, but someone we would like to meet in real life. This book presents all the canonical facts and details about the detective and his world in one place, presented with tabulations and analyses that enable a better understanding of the works and of Maigret himself.
