Estudio de las posibilidades del uso pedagógico de las bibliotecas de los centros educativos.
"For its intelligence and humanitarian achievements, for its political honesty, for its power and its beauty (there is no other word), this book deserves to be called a masterpiece." —American Ethnologist Jerome R. Mintz's classic study of the lives of Andalusian campesinos who were swept up by one of the 20th century's pivotal social movements provided a new framework for understanding the tragic events that tilted Spain toward civil war. In a new foreword, James W. Fernandez reflects on the fieldwork that led to the book and its contribution to subsequent developments in the ethnography of Europe and the historiography of modern Spain.
Studies of rituals in sacred gardens and landscapes offer tantalizing insights into the significance of gardens and landscapes in the societies of India, ancient Greece, Pre-Columbian Mexico, medieval Japan, post-Renaissance Europe, and America. Sacred gardens and landscapes engaged their visitors into three specific modes of agency: as anterooms spurring encounters with the netherworld; as journeys through mystical lands; and as a means of establishing a sense of locality, metaphorically rooting the dweller's own identity in a well-defined part of the material world. Each section of this book is devoted to one of these forms of agency. Together the essays reveal a profound cultural significance of gardens previously overlooked by studies of garden styles.

Alors que s’avancent en Europe les concepts qui bâtiront le monde contemporain, l’imprimeur libraire et le marchand de livres jouent un rôle essentiel pour la diffusion des idées nouvelles. Exercer une activité aussi sensible, à une époque où les revers de fortune et les disgrâces politiques sont fréquents, est à la fois une formidable aventure commerciale et un dangereux pari culturel. Car dominée par l’Église et surveillée par l’Inquisition, la société espagnole du XVIIIe siècle reste encore réfractaire à la nouveauté. La production et le commerce du livre sont au cœur des luttes d’influence qui traversent l’Espagne au XVIIIe siècle. Séville, tournée vers l’Amérique, concurrencée par Cadix et Madrid, est alors à un moment clé de son histoire. Par l’entremise du livre imprimé et de sa diffusion, Clara Palmiste nous plonge au cœur de la cité andalouse et de ses grandes familles, dans une thèse remarquable par son érudition et la finesse de son analyse. Elle nous permet ainsi de comprendre les vecteurs essentiels qui ont précipité la Grande Espagne vers son déclin.
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.
