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.

The most comprehensive book ever written on leatherback sea turtles. Weighing as much as 2,000 pounds and reaching lengths of over seven feet, leatherback turtles are the world’s largest reptile. These unusual sea turtles have a thick, pliable shell that helps them to withstand great depths—they can swim more than one thousand meters below the surface in search of food. And what food source sustains these goliaths? Their diet consists almost exclusively of jellyfish, a meal they crisscross the oceans to find. Leatherbacks have been declining in recent decades, and some predict they will be gone by the end of this century. Why? Because of two primary factors: human redevelopment of nestin...

This manual has been designed and written with the purpose of introducing key concepts and areas of debate around the "creative economy", a valuable development opportunity that Latin America, the Caribbean and the world at large cannot afford to miss. The creative economy, which we call the "Orange Economy" in this book (you'll see why), encompasses the immense wealth of talent, intellectual property, interconnectedness, and, of course, cultural heritage of the Latin American and Caribbean region (and indeed, every region). At the end of this manual, you will have the knowledge base necessary to understand and explain what the Orange Economy is and why it is so important. You will also acquire the analytical tools needed to take better advantage of opportunities across the arts, heritage, media, and creative services.
Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1525/30-1569) was a remarkable draftsman and designer of prints as well as a great painter. His independent drawings and designs for engravings and etchings, which were carried out by the leading printmakers of his day, have fascinated scholars and the general public alike since they were created. They have recently been the subject of research that has given rise to a reevaluation of the parameters of Bruegel's oeuvre. The new scholarship has been brought to bear in the texts of the present volume, which accompanies a major exhibition of 140 of Bruegel's prints and drawings to be shown at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam, from May to August 2001 and at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, from September to December 2001. An international group of experts discusses the new Bruegel who has emerged from recent studies, in essays on the artist's life, his contributions as a draftsman and as a printmaker, the survival of his art, and his relationship to the humanism of his day. They also illuminate his genius in entries on all the works in the exhibition. Every work is illustrated and rich comparative illustrations are included. Provenances an
Asia has experienced massive economic growth, characterized by rapid urbanization and industrialization, changing demographics, and increasing consumption and demand for resources. This has contributed to significant environmental degradation. The challenge faced by governments in the region is in identifying and implementing innovative and dynamic policy approaches that are effective at improving environmental quality while sustaining development gains. This report reviews past and ongoing applications of market-based instruments to address air quality, water, and waste management in Asia. It provides recommendations for the use of market-based instruments for more efficient and effective environmental management.
