En esta obra, los cuerpos se hacen palabra para entrar en conversación con otros cuerpos. En él, celebramos y compartimos la decisión de componer textos académicos e investigativos que aportan a la producción y a la creación de conocimientos en el campo de los estudios culturales en conexión con los lenguajes artísticos contemporáneos. A propósito, Eduardo Pellejero dice que, "ningún método puede conducirnos de manera clara y distinta al corazón de su enigma, ni a la multiplicidad de su potencia. Solo la experiencia —quiero decir, la experimentación— podrá develar a quienes se atrevan a llevarla hasta sus límites, la dimensión, el alcance y las figuras de las que el cuer...
La risa del ahorcado es un recorrido cronológico por las dos etapas de la obra de Luque Muñoz: una primera, de corte experimental e intuitivo, que va desde su primer libro Sol cuello cortado (1973), de aliento surrealista, pasando por Lo que puede la mirada (1977), de corte prosaico, donde entra con novedad el tema de la ciudad, hasta el Libro de los caminos (1990), un homenaje a la historia y literatura de Grecia y Rusia, atravesadas por el exotismo del viaje. Y una segunda etapa, en la que despliega y consolida toda su imaginación en un lenguaje simbólico, de contenido irónico, crítico y erótico. Allí se ubican Polen de lejanía (1998), Arqueología del silencio (2002) y Escrito con la garra del halcón (2006). Por primera vez se presentan poemas de su libro inédito Antología apócrifa, apasionante recorrido por los poetas que lo formaron durante su vida.

"Each of the quilt patterns in this book is rated by skill level -- easy, beginner, or intermediate -- based on the degree of piecing difficulty. Once you've used our easy unit-construction methods to make your first nickel quilt, you'll be ready to move on to one of the more challenging projects." From inside book.
Toda lengua es su pasado y su presente. También está siempre en contacto con otras lenguas, lo cual genera transformaciones constantes. Languages are not homogeneous nor fixed cultural entities. However, al escribir tendemos a creer que el sentido se fija y queda inmóvil. Creemos que lo escrito es rígido y objetivado, pero olvidamos que la escritura es una práctica, que sus normas son múltiples y que, además, van transformándose. This book, then, deliberately combines languages —in this case English and Spanish— to discuss writing, translingualism, and writing centers.
In "The Jesuit Order as a Synagogue of Jews" the author explains how Christians with Jewish family backgrounds went within less than forty years from having a leading role in the foundation of the Society of Jesus to being prohibited from membership in it. The author works at the intersection to two important historical topics, each of which attracts considerable scholarly attention but that have never received sustained and careful attention together, namely, the early modern histories of the Jesuit order and of Iberian purity of blood concerns. An analysis of the pro- and anti-converso texts in this book (both in terms of what they are claiming and what their limits are) advance our understanding of early modern, institutional Catholicism at the intersection of early modern religious reform and the new racism developing in Spain and spreading outwards.
About Trees considers our relationship with language, landscape, perception, and memory in the Anthropocene. The book includes texts and artwork by a stellar line up of contributors including Jorge Luis Borges, Andrea Bowers, Ursula K. Le Guin, Ada Lovelace and dozens of others. Holten was artist in residence at Buro BDP. While working on the book she created an alphabet and used it to make a new typeface called Trees. She also made a series of limited edition offset prints based on her Tree Drawings.
In Portrait of a Young Painter, the distinguished historian Mary Kay Vaughan adopts a biographical approach to understanding the culture surrounding the Mexico City youth rebellion of the 1960s. Her chronicle of the life of painter Pepe Zúñiga counters a literature that portrays post-1940 Mexican history as a series of uprisings against state repression, injustice, and social neglect that culminated in the student protests of 1968. Rendering Zúñiga's coming of age on the margins of formal politics, Vaughan depicts midcentury Mexico City as a culture of growing prosperity, state largesse, and a vibrant, transnationally-informed public life that produced a multifaceted youth movement brimming with creativity and criticism of convention. In an analysis encompassing the mass media, schools, politics, family, sexuality, neighborhoods, and friendships, she subtly invokes theories of discourse, phenomenology, and affect to examine the formation of Zúñiga's persona in the decades leading up to 1968. By discussing the influences that shaped his worldview, she historicizes the process of subject formation and shows how doing so offers new perspectives on the events of 1968.
