Canciones de lejos
"Las alianzas musicales entre Chile y México tienen una larga trayectoria. Fue esta valiosa correspondencia la que motivó la creación de Canciones de lejos. Complicidades musicales entre Chile y México. En este libro se describe el intercambio de música tradicional como las cuecas chilenas y las rancheras mexicanas, hasta los géneros contemporáneos interpretados por representantes de estos países del norte y el sur de América. Las historias de triunfo en el exilio mexicano de músicos chilenos, como Lucho Gatica, Monna Bell, Palmenia Pizarro, Los Ángeles Negros, La Ley, Los Bunkers, Mon Laferte, y de músicos mexicanos como Jorge Negrete y Café Tacvba en Chile, se reseñan aquí con detalle. Investigadores, cronistas y músicos de ambas naciones desentrañan estas relaciones musicales, a partir de un proyecto que fue consolidándose gracias a la comunicación recíproca de experiencias en eventos como Imesur, Fluvial, Pulsar y Fimpro."
Canciones de lejos
Chile y México son dos naciones separadas por hemisferios y miles de kilómetros de distancia, sin embargo, se encuentran enlazadas por un cúmulo de experiencias, manifestaciones y expresiones a lo largo de más de dos siglos, y es en la música donde este vínculo se materializa. Esta obra revela algunas de las claves de esta alianza fraterna entre la nación del norte y la del sur: del bolero al rock, de la canción romántica a la vanguardia y de la ranchera al pop. Nombres insignes y diversos como Sonia la Única, Café Tacvba, Pedro Infante o Mon Laferte (por mencionar algunos) son revisados a través de crónicas periodísticas, ensayos y testimonios que muestran el valioso intercambio cultural de ambos países.
Sick on You
"**MOJO MAGAZINE'S BOOK OF THE YEAR** The Hollywood Brats are the greatest band you've never heard of. Recording one near-perfect punk album in 1974, they were tragically ahead of their time. With only a guitar, a tatty copy of the Melody Maker and his template for the perfect band, Andrew Matheson set out, in 1971, to make musical history. His band, The Hollywood Brats, were pre-punk prophets - uncompromising, ultra-thin, wild, untameable and outrageous. But thrown into the crazy world of the 1970s London music scene, the Brats ultimately fell foul of the crooks and heavies that ran it and an industry that just wasn't ready for them. Directly inspiring the London SS, the Clash, Malcolm McLaren and the Sex Pistols, The Hollywood Brats imploded too soon to share the glory. Punk's answer to Withnail and I, Sick On You is a startling, funny and brilliantly entertaining period memoir about never quite achieving success, despite flying so close to greatness."

Shattered Pictures of Places and Cities in George Santayana's Autobiography
Shattered Pictures of Places and Cities se adentra por las páginas autobiográficas, filosóficas y narrativas más relevantes de George Santayana discurriendo por sus viajes y geografías físicas en paralelo a sus viajes y geografías morales. Es un intento de ir más allá de la reflexión entorno a los orígenes biográficos del filósofo; de ahí que se recupere una indagación sobre su habitar el lenguaje y el arte. Santayana reconsidera los fundamentos del arte de la memoria clásica en su autobiografía, para formular una nueva propuesta estética donde el arte y la vida se funden y se confunden, estimulándose recíprocamente. Hila una filosofía del viaje y del lugar, donde se privilegia una noción del habitar que ilumina nuestra condición de nómadas -en la vida y en el pensamiento-, y nuestra trágica estable inestabilidad en este mundo.

Valparaíso School
"The School of Architecture at the Catholic University of Valparaiso, Chile, underwent a transformation in 1952 when a group of young architects led by Alberto Cruz began teaching at the school. The Valparaiso School, as it became known, acquired an international reputation for its radical stance and its commitment to dialogue between architects and other disciplines. From 1970 onwards, it began to focus much of its research and design activity on the Open City project, which had been created by a group of architects, artists and poets with a vision of a city with "no master plan, no imposed ordering devices, and no hierarchical networks of infrastructure." Originally set up as a laboratory-type environment, this alternative community has since become a place of residence and work for like-minded people. Valparaiso School: Open City Group provides an insight into this radical experiment in urban development through a series of essays and photographs."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
