Manuela Ribadeneira: She Asked Directions for Getting Lost
Ribadeneira's sculptures and installations draw from history and science to evoke a keen sense of place This first monograph on the work of Ecuadorian-born, UK-based artist Manuela Ribadeneira (born 1966) begins with her collaboration with Artes No Decorativas S.A. in Ecuador in the 1990s and closes with her current practice as artist, publisher and organizer in London and Quito.
Value, Beauty, and Nature
Much of early environmental ethics was born out of the belief that the ecological crisis can only truly be solved by overcoming a pernicious worldview that limits all intrinsic value to human beings. Returning to this originating impulse, Value, Beauty, and Nature contends that, to make progress within environmental ethics, philosophers must explicitly engage in environmental metaphysics. Grounded in an organicist process worldview, Brian G. Henning shows that it is possible to make progress in key debates within environmental philosophy, including those concerning the nature of intrinsic value; anthropocentrism; hierarchy; the moral significance of beauty; the nature of individuality; teleo...
Approaches to Teaching the Writings of Emilia Pardo Bazán

Artists Remake the World
An original and provocative exploration of the relationship between contemporary art, politics, and activism Artists Remake the World introduces readers to the political ambitions of contemporary art in the early twenty-first century and puts forward a new, wide-ranging account of art's political potential.

Vid Simoniti offers original perspectives on contemporary art and its capacity as a force for political and social change. At its best, he argues, contemporary art allows us to imagine utopias and present...

Insolación
Insolación, de Emilia Pardo Bazán (1851-1921), fue en su época una novela escandalosa. El tema se consideraba escabroso y, por añadidura, en ella se ventilaban asuntos como el de la distinta moral sexual para hombres y mujeres. Clarín había sentenciado la novela en sus Paliques: Antipático, poema de una jamona atrasada de caricias, y Pereda había dicho a los lectores de El Imparcial que los protagonistas de Insolación vivían amancebados a la vista del lector, con minuciosos pormenores sobre su manera de pecar. La crítica ha destacado lo que ya en su tiempo algunos entrevieron: el magnífico estudio psicológico del personaje femenino y la calidad literaria de la obra. El estudio introductorio de Marina Mayoral desentraña las circunstancias que rodearon la aparición de la novela y ahonda en los mecanismos de la creación novelesca, permitiendo así al lector actual una mayor comprensión y un disfrute más pleno de la obra.
