The human psyche, normally a fortress of strength, is most vulnerable when love dies. The emotionally chilling novellas in The End of Madness provide glimpses into the minds of people for whom love stopped existing.

An unexpected twist provides a gripping conclusion to this transatlantic journey into madness. THE VISITOR In The ...
How Is World Literature Made?
The debate over the concept of world literature, which has been taking place with renewed intensity over the last twenty years, is tightly bound up with the issues of global interconnectedness in a polycentric world. Most recently, critiques of globalization-related conceptualizations, in particular, have made themselves heard: to what extent is the concept of world literature too closely connected with the political and economic dynamics of globalization? Such questions cannot be answered simply through theoretical debate. The material side of the production of world literature must therefore be more strongly integrated into the conversation than it has been. Using the example of Latin American literatures, this volume demonstrates the concrete construction processes of world literature. To that purpose, archival materials have been analyzed here: notes, travel reports, and correspondence between publishers and authors. The Latin American examples provide particularly rich information about the processes of institutionalization in the Western world, as well as new perspectives for a contemporary mapping of world literature beyond the established dynamics of canonization.
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.

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

OPsiones 150
OPsiones es un proyecto creativo-colaborativo, llevado a cabo en los años 2002-2005. La sinergia que lo caracterizó, reunió voluntades horizontales y verticales que ampliaron sus alcances y lo catapultaron a esferas más amplias de divulgación de las ideas. El semanario puede considerarse un proyecto nó- mada, puesto que congrega los andares de sus creadores y colaboradores por diversas latitudes, más allá del espacio local queretano y universitario. En su nomadismo de pensamiento, transita de temáticas como la clonación a las gue- rras, de la bioética a la geopolítica y de los recursos estratégicos al consumis- mo, el neoliberalismo e individualismo.
Science, Literature, and Film in the Hispanic World
Driven by such diverse advances as the Human Genome Project and the explosion of the World Wide Web, and also by the threat of human-inspired disasters such as global warming, the field of science and literature studies is currently undergoing an unprecedented expansion. The relations between science and literature have been and continue to be central to understanding Hispanic civilization and culture. In spite of this, Science, Literature, and Film in the Spanish-Speaking World is the first and only book to treat this new and dynamic field from an Hispanic perspective. This unique volume opens the door to an entirely new focus in the study of Hispanic literature and culture.
