De escritoras a escritoras
La crítica literaria cumple un rol fundamental en procesos de formación del canon literario. En este sentido, esta compilación de artículos académicos escritos por mujeres sobre escritoras ecuatorianas busca hacer camino: dejar rastro de la presencia y existencia de estas autoras, tanto de las que escriben como de las que son objeto de escritura. Es el gesto indispensable de regresar a ver, de cuestionar las exclusiones del pasado y del presente, y, sobre todo, de proponer nuevas miradas y actores. Es un gesto crítico que no quiere definir nuevos cánones –eso sería caer en las mismas prácticas–, sino flexibilizarlos, abrir el concepto de literatura para volverlo más democrático.
El universo novelesco en El Secuestro del General de Demetrio Aguilera Malta
"Escribir sobre los grandes escritores es un desafío que obliga a enfrentarse a la crítica literaria y replantear horizontes interpretativos novedosos que enriquezcan el campo de los estudios literarios. Precisamente, Alberto Rengifo en este libro ahonda en el universo literario del insigne escritor ecuatoriano Demetrio Aguilera Malta, con un objetivo claro: encontrar el significado profundo de una obra que atañe a uno de los personajes más recurrentes de la literatura latinoamericana: el dictador. Esta obra concluye con una profunda reflexión sobre el valor de la literatura en una época donde las humanidades luchan por no ceder su espacio a la tecnocracia. l... enfatiza sobre el poder de la literatura, que sin alejarse de su valor artístico y estético, pone en evidencia las situaciones anómalas que afectan a la condición humana y la capacidad de este arte para cuestionarlas en pos de su transformación. De esta manera, Alberto Rengifo hace eco de la propuesta creativa de Aguilera Malta: escribir para denunciar la injusticia social, redimir a todo ser humano y dejar viva la esperanza.
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Angiotensin-converting Enzyme
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is a well-known zinc-metallopeptidase that converts angiotensin I to the potent vasoconstrictor angiotensin II and degrades bradykinin, a powerful vasodilator, both for the regulation of vascular tone and cardiac functions. Other natural substrates of ACE were identified broadening the functions of this enzyme within different physiological contexts such as neuronal metabolism, hematopoiesis, digestion, and reproduction. In this context, ACE has an essential role in diseases, for instance, hypertension, Alzheimer's disease, oxidative stress, sperm maturation and fertility, intraocular pressure, bone metabolism, fibrillary glomerulonephritis, among others. ...

Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
Choreographing Mexico
2023 de la Torre Bueno® First Book Award, Dance Studies Association The impact of folkloric dance and performance on Mexican cultural politics and national identity. The years between 1910 and 1940 were formative for Mexico, with the ouster of Porfirio Díaz, the subsequent revolution, and the creation of the new state. Amid the upheaval, Mexican dance emerged as a key arena of contestation regarding what it meant to be Mexican. Through an analysis of written, photographic, choreographic, and cinematographic renderings of a festive Mexico, Choreographing Mexico examines how bodies in motion both performed and critiqued the nation. Manuel Cuellar details the integration of Indigenous and reg...
