Jorge Luis Borges in Context
Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) is Argentina's most celebrated author. This volume brings together for the first time the numerous contexts in which he lived and worked; from the history of the Borges family and that of modern Argentina, through two world wars, to events including the Cuban Revolution, military dictatorship, and the Falklands War. Borges' distinctive responses to the Western tradition, Cervantes and Shakespeare, Kafka, and the European avant garde are explored, along with his appraisals of Sarmiento, gauchesque literature and other strands of the Argentine cultural tradition. Borges' polemical stance on Catholic integralism in early twentieth-century Argentina is accounted for, whilst chapters on Buddhism, Judaism and landmarks of Persian literature illustrate Borges's engagement with the East. Finally, his legacy is visible in the literatures of the Americas, in European countries such as Italy and Portugal, and in the novels of J. M. Coetzee, representing the Global South.

This book will be of interest to scholars and policymakers interested in international trade and development.

Gobernabilidad en Crisis
El siglo XXI se inaugura en America Latina con varios dilemas por resolver: uno de ellos es la gobernabilidad, cuyo talon de Aquiles aun es la posibilidad de que efectivamente se instaure la democracia en nuestros pueblos. La inestabilidad politica, tenida de actos delictivos, confrontaciones sociales, exclusion y marginalidad, como lastre del neoliberalismo ortodoxo aplicado por los gobiernos en turno, son sintomas de que la paz se ausenta. Aunado a esto, el rompimiento de los hilos asociativos imposibilita que renazcan lazos solidarios y reciprocidades grupales y es signo de que viviremos los proximos anos bajo el toldo de la violencia, sea simbolica, politica, social o armada. Por ello, l...
