In so doing, the book analyses the role of the various cultural, ethnic, gender, and national encounters pertinent to narratives of travel and migration in transforming and problematizing the identities of both the travelers and "travelees" enacting in the borderzones between cultures.

En esta antología poética, los poetas cantan, cantan en susurros con el sensual lenguaje del amor, para invocar a la vida con el llamamiento a Eros. Su canto apela al placer de los sentidos en un ciclo místico, donde el erotismo copula con las letras para gestar versos, que, en borboteos de imágenes y lluvia dorada, se calcinan sobre la piel de la hoja de papel hasta rebasar lo humano, para transformarlo, en un acto sagrado que nos involucra a todos y todo lo que vive y vibra en el universo. Expresiones poéticas que navegan en el ardiente y vital mar, donde el erotismo es cómplice y acompañante en la interminable aventura de la vida, y que, gracias al encuentro luminoso de los cuerpos, se transforma en un ritual profundo de imágenes y voces marcadas por la impaciencia, la fragilidad, el deseo, la libertad y la condena amorosa. Constructo de metáforas, donde el decir del poeta, es canto que apela al goce pleno de los sentidos. Fuerza y poder de las emociones y sentimientos que hierven y hablan desde el amor, como expresión sublime de la máxima adoración a la vida, a través de la erotización de las palabras. Maribel Arreola Rivas.

On the Theory and History of Ideological Production promotes the existence of an ‘ideological unconscious’, understood primarily as a product of social relations, not of the Ideological State Apparatus. Attention focuses upon the transition from feudalism to capitalism, as theorised by the Spanish Marxist and former student of Althusser, Juan Carlos Rodríguez. Theorization of the ‘ideological unconscious’ presupposes a change of terrain from the individual/society opposition to a problematic based on the ‘social formation’. The present text assesses Rodríguez’s work alongside that of his contemporaries, Fredric Jameson, Noam Chomsky, Terry Eagleton, Roy Bhaskar, Slavoj Žižek, and others.
