El relato corto
El relato corto, escrito por Sean O´Faolain en 1948 y nunca antes traducido al castellano, es un libro que podría tener varias definiciones. En primer lugar, se trata de una reflexión sobre el género literario de la historia breve, una forma narrativa que no ha contado, al contrario de la novela, con el interés permanente de la crítica. Está escrito, además, por uno de los mejores escritores de relatos cortos irlandeses de la época contemporánea, Seán O'Faolain, por lo que el autor aporta tanto su visión teórica (el autor fue profesor de literatura en universidades americanas y británicas) como sus conocimientos basados en la práctica. En segundo lugar, el libro analiza la com...
Cuentos irlandeses contemporáneos
James Joyce da inicio a la modernidad de las letras irlandesas con la publicación de “Los muertos”, cuento que abre esta exhaustiva compilación de veinticinco relatos editada por Sinéad Mac Aodha y Jorge Fondebrider. Traducida por Matías Battistón, Pedro Serrano, Inés Garland, Andrés Ehrenhaus, Jan de Jager y el mismo Jorge Fondebrider, esta antología —en palabras de sus editores— tiene como única ambición que los lectores “descubran una nueva constelación de autores, que sepan algo que antes no sabían y que de esa forma encuentren conocimiento, compañía y consuelo”.

Translating Poetic Discourse
Translating Poetic Discourse argues in favor of a critical model that bridges between translation and women’s studies on theoretical and practical levels. It proposes key-elements to be integrated into the problem of interpretation of contemporary poetry by women, and discusses the links between gender markers and the speech situation in feminist discourse as a systematic problem. This book will be of interest to scholars of Translation Studies, Women’s Studies, Poetry, Comparative Literature and Discourse.
Pursuits of Happiness
Anthropology has long shied away from examining how human beings may lead happy and fulfilling lives. This book, however, shows that the ethnographic examination of well-being--defined as "the optimal state for an individual, a community, and a society"--and the comparison of well-being within and across societies is a new and important area for anthropological inquiry. Distinctly different in different places, but also reflecting our common humanity, well-being is intimately linked to the idea of happiness and its pursuits. Noted anthropological researchers have come together in this volume to examine well-being in a range of diverse ways and to investigate it in a range of settings: from t...
