La presente obra versa sobre uno de los escritores más singulares de la narrativa contemporánea: Augusto Monterroso. Se trata de un autor canónico de la ironía literaria, de prosapia borgeana que, aunque nació siendo un clásico con la publicación de Obras completas (y otros cuentos) (1959), sigue siendo un escritor poco estudiado, un autor de culto insuficientemente reconocido, motivo al que se debe el presente estudio.
"Cuando lo sobrenatural sucede o no, de forma definitiva, el lector sólo puede aceptarlo, pero cuando los acontecimientos quedan suspendidos entre lo razonable y un mundo imposible, propiciando la duda en el receptor, podemos hablar de literatura fantástica", nos dice el autor de este libro que estudia la obra de Emiliano González, situada da en los terrenos de lo fantástico moderno, o neofantástico, en oposición a lo fantástico tradicional del siglo xix, y cuyo contexto de producción es el posmodernismo, ya que mantiene un diálogo constante con géneros, estéticas y autores, con la literatura misma. "Lo siniestro es aquello que, debiendo permanecer oculto, se ha revelado", la frase de Schelling sirve para ilustrar el trabajo de Olvera Vázquez, quien nos muestra los principios y las reglas, la poética, que da sustento a los fantásticos relatos, "El discípulo" y "Rudisbroek o los autómatas" de Emiliano González.

The 1960s represented a revolutionary moment around the globe. In rural Mexico, several guerrilla groups organized to fight against the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Specters of Revolution chronicles two peasant guerrilla organizations led by schoolteachers, the National Revolutionary Civil Association (ACNR) and the Party of the Poor (PDLP), which waged revolutionary armed struggles to overthrow the PRI.

This book reveals that these movements developed after years of seeking legal, consti...
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
Though the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) tumors has been challenging, new advances have helped us better understand the molecular and genetic makeup of many tumor types, and new chemotherapies and immunotherapies have extended survival in patients with aggressive primary CNS tumors. This book discusses pediatric and adult tumors of the CNS, the classification schemes used to categorize them, advances in surgical techniques, and several important genetic alterations found in these tumors. We hope this book contributes to the reader’s understanding of these tumors and provides the most up-to-date and cutting-edge discoveries in this exciting field.
