Choreographing Mexico
2023 de la Torre Bueno® First Book Award, Dance Studies Association The impact of folkloric dance and performance on Mexican cultural politics and national identity. The years between 1910 and 1940 were formative for Mexico, with the ouster of Porfirio Díaz, the subsequent revolution, and the creation of the new state. Amid the upheaval, Mexican dance emerged as a key arena of contestation regarding what it meant to be Mexican. Through an analysis of written, photographic, choreographic, and cinematographic renderings of a festive Mexico, Choreographing Mexico examines how bodies in motion both performed and critiqued the nation. Manuel Cuellar details the integration of Indigenous and reg...
Vampires and Zombies
The undead are very much alive in contemporary entertainment and lore. Indeed, vampires and zombies have garnered attention in print media, cinema, and on television. The vampire, with roots in medieval European folklore, and the zombie, with origins in Afro-Caribbean mythology, have both undergone significant transformations in global culture, proliferating as deviant representatives of the zeitgeist. As this volume demonstrates, distribution of vampires and zombies across time and space has revealed these undead figures to carry multiple meanings. Of all monsters, vampires and zombies seem to be the trendiest--the most regularly incarnate of the undead and the monsters most frequently repr...

San Juan de Dios y otras obras de teatro
Este volumen pretende enaltecer el quehacer dramático jalisciense - que sin duda necesita de más plataformas y espacios - a través de la publicación de cuatro obras de Hugo Salcedo: San Juan de Dios, Asesinato en los parques, Dos a uno y Cumbia (cabe destacar que tres de estas cuatro obras han sido galardonadas), en las que se proyectan los grupos marginales que son relegados a la periferia y cuya existencia se diluye por causa de un centralismo basado en la inercia, autoritarismo, fanatismo, ignorancia y tiranía, que lo único que hacen es exacerbar más las bajas pasiones que llegan al extremo de la violencia, la crueldad y la deshumanización. La dramaturgia de Hugo Salcedo nos transporta a un escenario en el que la esfera de la realidad y la ficción se solapan, se desdibujan, se integran. No importa si se trata de un primer acercamiento al teatro, la lectura de estas cuatro obras atrapará al lector primerizo o al más avezado por igual. De amena lectura e insigne calidad dramática, este cuarteto no puede faltar en el bagaje cultural de cualquier tapatío
