Women in Archaeology
This book tells the story of women in archaeology worldwide and their dedication to advancing knowledge and human understanding. In their own voices, they present themselves as archaeologists working in academia or the private and public sector across 33 countries. The chapters in this volume reconstruct the history of archaeology while honoring those female scholars and their pivotal research who are no longer with us. Many scholars in this volume fiercely explore non-traditional research areas in archaeology. The chapters bear witness to their valuable and unique contributions to reconstructing the past through innovative theoretical and methodological approaches. In doing so, they share the inherent difficulties of practicing archaeology, not only because they, too, are mothers, sisters, and wives but also because of the context in which they are writing. This volume may interest researchers in archaeology, history of science, gender studies, and feminist theory.

Mario Lavista
"Composer, pianist, editor, writer, and pedagogue Mario Lavista (1943-2021) was a central figure of the cultural and artistic scene in Mexico and one of the leading Ibero-American composers of his generation. His music is often described as evocative and poetic, noted for his meticulous attention to timbre and motivic permutation, and his creative trajectory was characterized by its intersections with the other arts, particularly poetry and painting. Understanding analysis as an affective practice, this study explores the intertextual connections between the multiple texts-musical or otherwise-that are present in Lavista's music. It argues that, through adopting an interdisciplinary and tran...
Teotihuacan, ciudad excepcional de Mesoamérica
En esta obra, donde se condensan más de cuatro décadas de trabajo multidisciplinario dedicado a la comprensión de Teotihuacan, se presenta una breve historia de dicha urbe así como los descubrimientos más recientes que se han hecho en torno a su organización política, cultural, religiosa, social y económica. Cada tópico se plantea de manera amena y fluida, haciéndola asequible al lector tanto común como especializado. En sus páginas se puede apreciar la excepcionalidad de esta ciudad mesoamericana, “por su magnitud, su planificación, su estructura corporativa, y por el esfuerzo invertido en construirse a sí misma como la Tollan por excelencia”, como dice la doctora Manzanilla Naim.

Composer, pianist, editor, writer, and pedagogue Mario Lavista (1943-2021) was a central figure of the cultural and artistic scene in Mexico and one of the leading Ibero-American composers of his generation. His music is often described as evocative and poetic, noted for his meticulous attention to timbre and motivic permutation, and his creative trajectory was characterized by its intersections with the other arts, particularly poetry and painting. Lavista was a relational composer; he did not write music as a private enterprise but for and alongside people with whom he established close relations. Understanding analysis as an affective practice, author Ana R. Alonso-Minutti explores the in...
The Legacies of The Basin of Mexico
This volume celebrates the continuing impact of the most notable contributions from The Basin of Mexico: The Ecological Processes in the Evolution of a Civilization by William T. Sanders, Jeffrey R. Parsons, and Robert S. Santley. In 1979, this influential work synthesized the results of the Basin of Mexico survey projects and follow-up excavations at several sites, while providing theoretical and methodological lines of research in central Mexico and generally in Mesoamerica. More than four decades after that book’s publication, the fourteen contributions in this volume review and analyze its theoretical and methodological influence in light of recent research across disciplines. Among a ...
Carlos Chávez and His World
Carlos Chávez (1899–1978) is the central figure in Mexican music of the twentieth century and among the most eminent of all Latin American modernist composers. An enfant terrible in his own country, Chávez was an integral part of the emerging music scene in the United States in the 1920s. His highly individual style—diatonic, dissonant, contrapuntal—addressed both modernity and Mexico's indigenous past. Chávez was also a governmental arts administrator, founder of major Mexican cultural institutions, and conductor and founder of the Orquesta Sinfónica de México. Carlos Chávez and His World brings together an international roster of leading scholars to delve into not only Chávez...
La química: el funcionamiento del universo, los seres vivos y las actividades humanas
La función principal de los miembros de El Colegio Nacional consiste en contribuir a la difusión de la cultura y la ciencia en México. Dicha actividad se lleva a cabo generalmente a través de conferencias impartidas en el Aula Mayor de El Colegio Nacional o en el interior de la República. Por lo general, dichas conferencias son impartidas de forma individual, pero en ocasiones dos o más miembros de El Colegio Nacional han participado en forma conjunta para la realización de simposios, series de conferencias u otras actividades. El 19 de marzo del año en curso, los abajo firmantes organizamos el simposio “La química: el funcionamiento del universo, los seres vivos y las actividades...

Medir para saber
La importancia que ha tenido en la historia de la humanidad la medida, es decir, los conceptos y los instrumentos que han tenido que crear todas las disciplinas, tanto para someter a experimento y prueba sus hipótesis como para situar una obra arquitectónica, construir las proporciones en la escultura, la pintura y la música, o dar a un poema el ritmo y la eufonía, es algo que suele pasar inadvertido para la sociedad. En las páginas de este libro se aborda la relevancia de dicho concepto, su historia y sus aplicaciones en disciplinas tan diversas como la neurofisiología, la química, la filosofía de la ciencia, la ecología, la lingüística, la psicología, la arquitectura, la arque...
