La noche develada. La ciudad de México en el siglo XIX
Las páginas de este libro dan cuenta de las horas que van del crepúsculo al amanecer; de la noche con todas sus expresiones y actividades. Muestran a la Ciudad de México del siglo XIX envuelta entre el bullicio y el silencio; entre las horas alegres y las tenebrosas. Presentan las distintas actividades sociales emprendidas en las llamadas horas negras, más resplandecientes por la luz de los candelabros, quinqués y velas que alumbraban los salones, teatros y cafés para dar paso a los bailes, tertulias y espectáculos. Pero también hablan de aquellas actividades que asustaban a los paseantes y ponían a temblar a los viajeros, cuando los ladrones y pordioseros hacían de las suyas, no obstante la presencia de los serenos que estaban ahí para la salvaguarda de los transeúntes nocturnos. Descubren, así, que para muchos actores sociales la vida no fue sólo sueño, y que la noche tiene una gran historia que contar.

The Provincial Deputation in Mexico
Mexico and the United States each have a constitution and a federal system of government. This fact has led many historians to assume that the Mexican system of government, established in the 1820s, is an imitation of the U.S. model. But it is not. In this interpretation of the independence movement, Nettie Lee Benson tells the true story of Mexico's transition from colonial status to a federal state. She traces the Mexican government's beginning to events in Spain in 1808–1810, when provincial juntas, or deputations, were established to oppose Napoleon's French rule and govern the country during the Spanish monarch's imprisonment. These provincial deputations proved so popular that ultima...
Creating Mexican Consumer Culture in the Age of Porfirio Díaz
"This study shows how goods and consumption embodied modernity in the time of Porfirio Diaz. Through case studies of tobacco marketing, department stores, advertising, shoplifting, and a famous jewelry robbery and homicide, he provides a tour of daily life in Porfirian Mexico City, overturning conventional wisdom that only the middle and upper classes participated in this culture"--Provided by publisher.
Forceful Negotiations
Often translated as "revolt," apronunciamientowas a formal, written protest, typically drafted as a list of grievances or demands, that could result in an armed rebellion. This common nineteenth-century Hispano-Mexican extraconstitutional practice was used by soldiers and civilians to forcefully lobby, negotiate, or petition for political change. Although the majority of these petitions failed to achieve their aims, many leading political changes in nineteenth-century Mexico were caused or provoked by one of the more than fifteen hundredpronunciamientosfiled between 1821 and 1876. The first of three volumes on the phenomenon of thepronunciamiento, this collection brings together leading scho...
World Languages and Cultures in the Public Sphere
The essays in this volume represent a cross-section of current scholarship examining the implications of the concept of Öffentlichkeit (the public sphere), originally conceived by the German philosopher Jürgen Habermas in the early 1960s, in his socio-historical study Strukturwandel der Öffentlichkeit (The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere). The contributions herein add to the discourse surrounding an evolving public sphere using diverse perspectives to explore a variety of contexts in which this concept appears and reappears. For almost forty years, the Southeast Conference for Languages, Literatures and Film (SCFLLF) has been a premier platform for the discussion and dissemination of the latest scholarship in the Humanities, with emphasis on non-English area studies. The current volume showcases some of the most impactful papers originally presented at the 25th SCFLLF, held in Asheville, North Carolina, in March of 2023.
