Entre la Carne y el Espíritu
Este libro recoge un grupo de narraciones sobre vidas de personajes urbanos mezcladas con trozos de investigación etnográfica y algún conocimiento formal del mundo de las ciencias. En la construcción de los personajes se entrecruzan vidas, eventos, experiencias y tiempos que dan vida a los temas tratados. Los temas son la guerra, el amor, la muerte, el tiempo, lo social y lo político usados como excusa para proponer la reflexión sobre lo nacional, lo caribeño, lo ontológico y lo espiritual. ==================================================================================================== This book (Between the Flesh and the Spirit) is a collection of short stories about the lives of urban characters mixed with chunks of ethnographic research and some formal knowledge from the world of sciences.

The Wari Enclave of Espiritu Pampa
The Wari State was the first expansionistic power to develop in the Andean highlands. Emerging in the area of modern Ayacucho (Peru) around AD 650, the Wari expanded to control much of the central Andes by the time of their collapse at AD 1000. This book describes the discovery and excavation (2010-2012) of a major new Wari site (Espiritu Pampa), located in the subtropical region of Vilcabamba (Department of Cuzco). While it was long believed that the Wari established trade networks between their highland capital and the Amazonian lowlands, the identification of a large Wari site in the Vilcabamba region came as a surprise to most Wari specialists. This book covers the first three years of excavations at the Wari site of Espiritu Pampa. It describes the identification of a central plaza surrounded by a series of D-shaped structures, that are believed to the loci of special activates for the Wari. It also describes the contents of more than 30 burials, many of which contained finely crafted silver, gold, bronze and ceramic objects.
La cristalina superficie del silencio
Este volumen es una muestra de la vitalidad cultural y poética de Zapotlán el Grande a través de la organización y premiación del certamen de los juegos florales, la jovial justa provenzal que los zapotlenses —entre ellos Juan José Arreola, de quien celebramos el centenario— comenzaron a convocar desde 1942 y que, con algunas pausas, ha continuado hasta la fecha: la flor de 2018 fue para Balam Rodrigo, uno de los poetas mexicanos de mayores merecimientos. Concebido por Ricardo Sigala, el libro está compuesto por cinco partes. En la primera se presentan los poemas ganadores en el transcurso del presente siglo; la segunda incluye a los ganadores desde 1942; en la tercera se hace un ...

La Austrialia del Espíritu Santo
Pedro Fernández de Quirós was a remarkable navigator and explorer. Having sailed in 1595 as chief pilot in the ill-fated Spanish expedition to the Solomon Islands, he returned to the 'Austral Lands' - the area of the New Hebrides - in 1605 with another expedition, which is the subject of this volume. In his Introduction Father Kelly sets out to resolve some of the outstanding historical problems of this Quirós expedition in the light of recently discovered documents. At the same time he gives a brief description of the Franciscan missionary apostolate, its contribution to geographical discovery in the Pacific, and its missionary plans for the natives of the Austral lands. He also provides a systematic survey of source material in Spanish, Roman and other European archives. The volume contains 32 documents concerning the 1605 expedition, including Munilla's Relación, as well as the Franciscan Missionary Plan. All these have been translated by Father Kelly. Continued in Second Series 127, with which the main pagination is continuous. This is a new print-on-demand hardback edition of the volume first published in 1966.
Images of Public Wealth or the Anatomy of Well-Being in Indigenous Amazonia
What is considered a good life in contemporary societies? Can we measure well-being and happiness? Reflecting a global interest on the topics of well-being, happiness, and the good life in the face of the multiple failures of millennial capitalism, Images of Public Wealth or the Anatomy of Well-Being in Indigenous Amazonia deliberately appropriates a concept developed by classical economists to understand wealth accumulation in capitalist societies in order to denaturalize it and assess its applicability in non-capitalist kin-based societies. Mindful of the widespread discontent generated by the ongoing economic crisis in postindustrial societies as well as the renewed attempts by social sci...
