Oír ese río: Antología poética de los cinco continentes es un homenaje que 126 poetas contemporáneos rinden al fenómeno del fluir del agua, que sin expectativas ni orgullos, traza rutas conectando regiones, vivencias, aventuras y sentimientos, desdibujando bordes y hermanando pueblos en su recorrido. Es un libro que reúne la obra poética de autores de los cinco continentes sobre la historia, la mitología, el recuerdo y el poderoso simbolismo que se concentra en los ríos del mundo. Esta tercera edición (primera en formato digital) cuenta con el apoyo de la fundación PIBES de Argentina y Alpina Industrias Alimenticias de Colombia, como muestra de su iniciativa por encontrar una manera más digna y sostenible de habitar nuestro planeta. Se suman así, al Colegio José Max León, a los traductores y a los autores y a todos los que en estas páginas resignifican los ríos como fuente de vida, inspiración y sustento de nuevas posibilidades para nuestra especie.

Silber provides one of the first rubrics for understanding and contextualizing postwar disillusionment, drawing on her ethnographic fieldwork and research on immigration to the United States by former insurgents. With an eye for gendered experiences, she unmasks how community members are asked, contradictorily and in different contexts, to relinquish their identities as "revolutionaries" and to develop a new sense of themselves as productive yet marginal postwar citizens via the same "participation" that fueled their revolutionary action. --Book Jacket.

Schaller offers a critical unpacking of the BID ethos, which draws on the language of economic liberalism (individual choice, civic...
Capitán Latinoamérica is the first study to examine the unique contribution of Latin American cinema, television, and web series to the global superhero boom. Through an analysis of superhero-themed media from Mexico to Argentina, Vinodh Venkatesh argues that contemporary Latin American superheroes are a hybrid of regional tropes and figures such as the famed luchador, El Chapulín Colorado, and North American blockbuster characters from the DC and Marvel universes. These superheroes channel anxieties specific to their respective national contexts. In Chile, for example, Mirageman rehashes and works through the Pinochet dictatorship and its traumatic aftermath; in Honduras, Chinche Man con...
