Independence in Central America and Chiapas, 1770–1823
Central America was the only part of the far-reaching Spanish Empire in continental America not to experience destructive independence wars in the period between 1810 and 1824. The essays in this volume draw on new historical research to explain why, and to delve into what did happen during the independence period in Central America and Chiapas. The contributors, distinguished scholars from Central America, North America, and Europe, consider themes of power, rebellion, sovereignty, and resistance throughout the Kingdom of Guatemala beginning in the late eighteenth century and ending with independence from Spain and the debate surrounding the decision to join the Mexican Empire. Their work r...

A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula
"A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula" is the second comparative history of a new subseries with a regional focus, published by the Coordinating Committee of the International Comparative Literature Association. As its predecessor for East-Central Europe, this two-volume history distances itself from traditional histories built around periods and movements, and explores, from a comparative viewpoint, a space considered to be a powerful symbol of inter-literary relations. Both the geographical pertinence and its symbolic condition are obviously discussed, when not even contested.Written by an international team of researchers who are specialists in the field, this history is the first attempt at applying a comparative approach to the plurilingual and multicultural literatures in the Iberian Peninsula. The aim of comprehensiveness is abandoned in favor of a diverse and extensive array of key issues for a comparative agenda."A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula" undermines the primacy claimed for national and linguistic boundaries, and provides a geo-cultural account of literary inter-systems which cannot otherwise be explained.

Redescubriendo el archivo etnográfico audiovisual
Este libro ofrece múltiples aproximaciones desde distintas disciplinas a la producción fílmica del Archivo Etnográfico Audiovisual (AEA) del Instituto Nacional Indigenista (INI). Dicho corpus de cine etnográfico fue producido entre 1978 y 1995 con el fin de documentar para la posteridad diferentes aspectos socioculturales de los pueblos indígenas de México. Los filmes del AEA reflejan una forma particular de mirar y representar la diversidad cultural, despliegan un entramado de significados, imaginarios y estereotipos en torno a los pueblos originarios de nuestro país, en una época de profundas transformaciones en México y el mundo. El AEA comprende alrededor de cincuenta películas de diferentes duraciones y mucho material fílmico sin editar, resguardado actualmente en el Acervo de Cine y Video Alfonso Muñoz del Instituto Nacional de los Pueblos Indígenas (INPI). Los catorce textos que conforman esta publicación buscan motivar a los lectores a conocer o redescubrir este patrimonio audiovisual, nos ofrecen pistas y claves para apreciar su enorme riqueza, que por muchos años ha pasado inadvertida y aún permanece en estado latente.
