Women in Breast Cancer: 2022, volume II
We are delighted to present the Frontiers in Oncology "Women in Breast Cancer” Volume II series of article collections. At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.
Olmecs, Mayas, and Other Cultures
The first of a series that describes the Pre-Columbian urban centers of Mesoamerica, with drawings reconstructing (hypothetically) the archaeological features of the main buildings, plazas and monuments based on writings, theories and hypothesis of archaeologistsand other specialists. This first number is devoted to the Mayan and Olmec sites of the state of Tabasco (La Venta, Comalcalco, Malpasito, Moral Reforma, Pomon, SanClaudio, Tortuguero and Jonuta) and the northeastern region of the state of Chiapas (Palenque). Includes illustrated descriptions of the Maya and Olmec world (Flora and fauna, trade andcultural exchange, building techniques, food and agriculture, etc), chronology and biographies of the first archaeologists who studied the sites.
Latin American Bureaucracy and the State Building Process (1780-1860)
The process of construction of national states had a decisive moment during the period of revolutions that spanned from the end of the eighteenth century until the mid-nineteenth century. Even if it was a generalized process throughout the Western world, the majority of social scientists that have analyzed it have based their theoretical models on the European and North American experiences. This volume pays particular attention to the historical experience of Latin America and accounts for its distinctive regional and national characteristics through the analysis of cases. It also evokes the existence of certain features of the process that historiography has not sufficiently taken into con...
Sculpture Workshops as Space and Concept
This book explores the multifaceted aspects of sculptor’s workshops from the Renaissance to the early nineteenth century. Contributors take a fresh look at the sculptor’s workshop as both a physical and discursive space. By studying some of the most prominent artists’ sculptural practices, the workshop appears as a multifaced, sociable and practical space. The book creates a narrative in which the sculptural workshop appears as a working laboratory where new measuring techniques, new materials and new instruments were tested and became part of the lived experience of the artist and central to the works coming into being. Artists covered include Donatello, Roubilliac, Thorvaldsen, Canova, and Christian Daniel Rauch. The book will be of interest to scholars studying art history, sculpture, artist workshops, and European studies.
Mercat de l'art, col·leccionisme i museus 2021
Des de l’octubre de 2012 s’han fet regularment de manera anual unes jornades o seminaris científics amb el títol de Mercat de l’Art, Col·leccionisme i Museus, que han donat com a resultat permanent la publicació d’uns volums amb les ponències presentades. Actualment, aquest material configura ja un veritable corpus de valuosa documentació entorn del fenomen del col·leccionisme i el mercat de l’art a Catalunya. La nostra intenció amb la realització d’aquesta jornada ha estat crear una plataforma on poder presentar uns resultats de recerca i discutir-los amb comoditat amb tots els diferents sectors vinculats a les arts: universitaris, professionals dels museus, antiquaris,...
dimensió escènica de la ciutat moderna: les condicions de l’oblit i del reconeixement, La
El reconeixement dels artistes i de les seves obres és un tema central i recurrent en la història de l’art. Ara bé, les condicions de l’oblit a què alguns creadors són relegats hi tenen un paper igualment preponderant. Amb un enfocament que abraça des de la sociologia de l’art fins a la reconstrucció històrica, aquest volum recupera tant autors oblidats o poc coneguts com creacions que han perdut la fama que van tenir fa una centúria, entre els quals trobem un edifici ocult del centre de Barcelona, una personalitat del teatre del segle passat —que avui, malgrat figurar al nomenclàtor de la ciutat, pràcticament ningú no sap qui és— o un pintor ignorat que va formar part del cercle íntim d’una de les personalitats més prestigioses del país. El perfil dels artistes estudiats confirma la necessitat de reconsiderar el cànon de la història de l’art, alhora que matisa i enriqueix el recorregut d’altres de més reconeguts.
