EXPERIENCIAS DE GÉNERO
Experiencias de Género es un volumen multidisciplinar,compuesto por 21 capítulos,en el que especialistas en distintos ámbitos abordan la cuestión de género desde una variedad de perspectivas. Se ofrecen reflexiones históricas y propuestas de transformación social, se examina la invisibilización de las mujeres y se incide en la responsabilidad de las instituciones y medios de comunicación en la transmisión de valores igualitarios. Se aboga por una legislación que propicie el cambio hacia una sociedad no discriminatoria y por una coeducación que frene la perpetuación de roles sexistas. Partes: I. Identidad y transgresión: la representación de género en las artes visuales y en la literatura, II. Realidades y perspectivas: el género en el ámbito educativo y laboral, III. Igualdad y visibilización: conflictos de género en la legislación y en las políticas públicas.
Género, poder y desarrollo
Descripción / Resumen (Español / Castellano): Con la entrada en vigor de la Ley Orgánica 3/2007 (conocida como la Ley de Igualdad), la imposición de cuotas de representación paritaria en las candidaturas españolas supuso una alteración de la composición de género en la administración local (por ser el nivel más amplio y elemental de la organización política española), en donde los individuos han tenido que reconfigurar y redefinir tanto sus prácticas como su imaginario, para adaptarse a un escenario forzosamente heterogéneo. En esta tesis se evalúa el estado de la igualdad de género en la política municipal gallega para conocer en qué medida la Ley de Igualdad ha resultad...
Shakespeare and Greece
This book seeks to invert Ben Jonson's claim that Shakespeare had 'small Latin and less Greek' and to prove that, in fact, there is more Greek and less Latin in a significant group of Shakespeare's texts: a group whose generic hybridity (tragic-comical-historical-romance) exemplifies the hybridity of Greece in the early modern imagination. To early modern England, Greece was an enigma. It was the origin and idealised pinnacle of Western philosophy, tragedy, democracy, heroic human endeavour and, at the same time, an example of decadence: a fallen state, currently under Ottoman control, and therefore an exotic, dangerous, 'Other' in the most disturbing senses of the word. Indeed, while Britai...
William Webbe, 'a Discourse of English Poetry' (1586)
William Webbe's A Discourse of English Poetry (1586) is the first printed treatise exclusively dedicated to devising a canon for the definition of poetry in England. Traditionally eclipsed by the academic centrality of Philip Sidney's The Defence of Poesy (c. 1580; published 1595) and George Puttenham's The Art of English Poesy (1588), it was last prepared in a scholarly edition by Gregory Smith in 1904. This volume presents a modern-spelling text and a critical apparatus derived from the collation of the first printed document with subsequent editions. The explanatory notes incorporate recent research on Elizabethan literary theory and aim at substantiating Webbe's contribution within the academic and literary spheres of sixteenth-century England. A Discourse offers an enlightening testimony of the main concerns of Tudor humanism, and it also sheds light on the ideological foundations of the acclaimed quantitative reformation of metre launched by Sidney, Harvey, Spenser and other contemporary scholars.

The Palgrave Handbook of Early Modern Literature and Science
This book is about the complex ways in which science and literature are mutually-informing and mutually-sustaining. It does not cast the literary and the scientific as distinct, but rather as productively in-distinct cultural practices: for the two dozen new essays collected here, the presiding concern is no longer to ask how literary writers react to scientific writers, but rather to study how literary and scientific practices are imbricated. These specially-commissioned essays from top scholars in the area range across vast territories and produce seemingly unlikely unions: between physics and rhetoric, math and Milton, Boyle and the Bible, plague and plays, among many others. In these essays so-called scientific writing turns out to traffic in metaphor, wit, imagination, and playfulness normally associated with literature provides material forms and rhetorical strategies for thinking physics, mathematics, archeology, and medicine.
Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning
This is the first textbook on pattern recognition to present the Bayesian viewpoint. The book presents approximate inference algorithms that permit fast approximate answers in situations where exact answers are not feasible. It uses graphical models to describe probability distributions when no other books apply graphical models to machine learning. No previous knowledge of pattern recognition or machine learning concepts is assumed. Familiarity with multivariate calculus and basic linear algebra is required, and some experience in the use of probabilities would be helpful though not essential as the book includes a self-contained introduction to basic probability theory.
Abraham Fraunce, 'The Shepherds' Logic' and Other Dialectical Writings
Abraham Fraunce’s The Shepherds’ Logic (c. 1585) is one of the first English adaptations of Petrus Ramus’s Dialecticae libri duo (1556). Preserved in a manuscript also containing two shorter essays on Ramist dialectic, the work was later modified and enlarged for publication as The Lawyers’ Logic (1588). But Fraunce’s substantial and almost exclusive use of Edmund Spenser’s The Shepherds’ Calendar (1579) as the source for practical examples makes the manuscript treatise a unique document revealing the influence of the Ramist reform of the arts of discourse on the new literary elite led by Philip Sidney and Gabriel Harvey. This is the first published critical edition of Fraunce...
