Triste e solitário
A realidade é tão ridícula que parece uma paródia de si mesma. Poetas ambiciosos, políticos medíocres, empresários gananciosos, acadêmicos incultos, banqueiros corruptos, entre outros grupos sociais, vivendo na contradição de suas rotinas e presos em seus mitos da caverna de Platão. O detetive Cornélio Flores se aventura na hipocrisia do ser humano da pós-modernidade e do caos, desvendando crimes e propondo soluções em mistérios de ganância.
José Luis Sert
José Luis Sert (1902-1983), architect and town planner, friend and collaborator of Le Corbusier, member of CIAM, and founder of the Grupo Este of the GATEPAC in Barcelona, took the Spanish architectural avant-garde of the thirties as the starting point for his work. Sert left Spain in 1939 to settle in the United States, where he eventually suceeded Walter Gropius as head of the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University. Among Sert's most representative works are the Fundación Joan Miró and the Dispensari Antitubercolosi in Barcelona, the Fondation Maeght at Saint-Paul-de-Vence in France, the American Embassy in Baghdad and town plans for several cities in South America, including Medellín, Bogotá, Lima and Havana. Through careful archival research, the author has assembled the entire legacy of Sert's projects and has reconstructed the profile of one of the greatest Spanish architects of the twentieth century. The book also conveys an excellent overview of the avant-garde art and architecture movements of the time, with illustrations of important CIAM meetings, art, sculpture and architecture by artists who influenced Sert.
LA CARA OSCURA DEL CAPITAL ERÓTICO
¿Por qué nuestra apariencia corporal nos inquieta tanto? ¿Qué es lo que se valora socialmente en ella? ¿Se tasa en todos los entornos del mismo modo? Una reconstrucción histórica permite ver que los cuerpos no se valoraron siempre igual; tras esta, el autor nos propone leer la presencia de un capital ligado al cuerpo (un “capital erótico”) como el efecto de transformaciones en el campo de la salud, de la relación entre las clases sociales y de nuestra idea de cuáles son las condiciones de una persona consumada. Esas transformaciones nos permiten avistar posibilidades de transformación. Porque una cosa es que nos expresemos como deseemos con nuestro cuerpo y otra muy distinta que se nos impongan exigencias y que éstas, además, nos adentren en caminos próximos a la patología. Un estudio empírico sobre trabajadoras, cualificadas y de oficios obreros, nos ayuda a tener un mapa contemporáneo de cómo se conecta el capital erótico con los trastornos alimentarios. Un análisis de los conflictos existentes nos permite avistar formas de movilización política contra los modos más dañinos de capital erótico.

Artificial Intelligence and Symbolic Computation
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Symbolic Computation, AISC 2014, held in Seville, Spain, in December 2014. The 15 full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 22 submissions. The goals were on one side to bind mathematical domains such as algebraic topology or algebraic geometry to AI but also to link AI to domains outside pure algorithmic computing. The papers address all current aspects in the area of symbolic computing and AI: basic concepts of computability and new Turing machines; logics including non-classical ones; reasoning; learning; decision support systems; and machine intelligence and epistemology and philosophy of symbolic mathematical computing.

Worlds Ending. Ending Worlds
The notion of apocalypse is an age-old concept which has gained renewed interest in popular and scholarly discourse. The book highlights the versatile explications of apocalypse today, demonstrating that apocalyptic transformations - the various encounters with anthropogenic climate change, nuclear violence, polarized politics, colonial assault, and capitalist extractivism - navigate a range of interdisciplinary views on the present moment. Moving from old worlds to new worlds, from world-ending experiences to apocalyptic imaginaries and, finally, from authoritarianism to activism and advocacy, the contributions begin to map the emerging field of Apocalyptic and Post-Apocalyptic Studies. Foregrounding the myriad ways in which collective imaginations of apocalypse underpin ethical, political, and, sometimes, individual experience, the authors provide key points of reference for understanding old and new predicaments that are transforming our many worlds.
