El principe de Maquiavelo: Desafíos, legado y significados
"Si consideramos todo cuidadosamente, encontraremos algo que parecerá virtud, pero que si lo siguiese sería su ruina y algo que parecerá vicio pero que, siguiéndolo, le proporcionará la seguridad y el bienestar propio". Cláusulas tan contundentes y ambiguas interpretativamente como la citada pueden encontrarse a lo largo de El Principe. La presente compilación reúne ocho ensayos académicos nacionales e internacionales que, ofrenciendo nuevas perspectivas de interpretación, pretenden resaltar los legados y desafíos que presenta el opúsculo de Maquiavelo a quienientos años de su redacción. El lector podrá encontrar tesis tan innovadoras como bien fundamentadas que sostienen, por ejemplo, que El Principe entraña un estilo de escritura irónica; que la obra del florentino obedece a la mentalidad propia de la figura del funcionario; que en una reconstrucción del opúsculo es posible rastrear un discurso sobre la acción, o que el realismo político de Maquiavelo puede interpretarse ontológicamente como una suerte de "inversión del Platonismo".
Angels the Size of Houses
"This poetical collection, Angels the Size of Houses (70-plus sheets of cool and frantic paginated speech) is a buzzing and hyper-inventive set of multifarious devices, with exceptional prosodical hazardry and multiple re-echoes along its spacious corridors - with many doorways for we and us open to its flaring physiological recitatives. The passage construction is familial and domestic in tone-row, while also widely outlandish, saltarello-style and stylish also with it. There are culinary hints and self-displays in great lexical abundance to whet the whistle, with phantasm and modest astonishments in witty comedy, escaping grandeur but never remote from scalar enlargements, often wisely gno...
Migraciones
El Comité Organizador del 56º Congreso Internacional de Americanistas (ICA) publica las actas del encuentro celebrado en la Universidad de Salamanca el 15 al 20 de julio de 2018. Bajo el lema «Universalidad y particularismo en las Américas», reflexionó sobre la dialéctica entre la universalidad y los particularismos en la producción de conocimiento, un diálogo en el que la necesidad de conocer los particularismos de los fenómenos sociales, políticos, artísticos y culturales obliga a formular nuevas hipótesis que enriquecen y replantean las grandes teorías generales de las ciencias y las humanidades. El carácter interdisciplinario e inclusivo que ha caracterizado al ICA desde s...

Chocolate Che
The poems in Chocolate Che were written in Cuba in the fiftieth year of the revolution; in India working with dying destitutes and recovering from tuberculosis; travelling up and down the spine of the Americas and into the heart of Europe on the trail of soldiers, artists and monks. Damian Furniss works images into narratives that are both darkly humorous and strangely moving. Using forms as varied as their subjects, with characteristic verbal intensity and a probing wit, he returns to the fixations of his youth in wry but reflective maturity. Along the way, he encounters the Dalai Lama and Mother Teresa; visits the houses of Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí, only to find no one's at home; and collects the stubs of cigars that might once have been smoked by Che Guevara and Fidel Castro, but probably weren't.
