Malas (Spanish Edition)

Activismos tecnopolíticos
Por un lado Donald Trump haciendo su típico baile en plena campaña electoral mientras suena una famosa canción de Village People; por el otro, el colectivo chileno Lastesis llevando adelante su intervención estético-política Un violador en tu camino. Los dos casos reúnen los elementos característicos de una performance, ¿pero acaso son lo mismo? En Activismos tecnopolíticos, Marcela Fuentes sostiene que las performances de lxs líderes políticxs apuntan sobre todo a la creación de públicos y seguidorxs, mientras que las performances contrahegémonicas no buscan el espectáculo sino la justicia social. A lo largo del libro, la autora recorre diferentes casos de acción política ...
Estudios avanzados de performance
Este volumen, que reúne textos de 17 autores, traza varias trayectorias en el estudio del performance, no sólo en cuanto a prácticas artísticas sino a los múltiples ámbitos en que se da: política, deporte, religión, actos cívicos, y en cuanto a la teoría que se elabora a su alrededor. Por lo anterior, los ensayos reunidos en este volumen muestran las muchas dimensiones que todo artista y teórico baraja en su quehacer profesional.
Women Mobilizing Memory
Women Mobilizing Memory, a transnational exploration of the intersection of feminism, history, and memory, shows how the recollection of violent histories can generate possibilities for progressive futures. Questioning the politics of memory-making in relation to experiences of vulnerability and violence, this wide-ranging collection asks: How can memories of violence and its afterlives be mobilized for change? What strategies can disrupt and counter public forgetting? What role do the arts play in addressing the erasure of past violence from current memory and in creating new visions for future generations? Women Mobilizing Memory emerges from a multiyear feminist collaboration bringing tog...
Queer Times, Black Futures
A serious intellectual engagement with Afrofuturism and the philosophical questions of space and time Queer Times, Black Futures considers the promises and pitfalls of imagination, technology, futurity, and liberation as they have persisted in and through racial capitalism. Kara Keeling explores how the speculative fictions of cinema, music, and literature that center black existence provide scenarios wherein we might imagine alternative worlds, queer and otherwise. In doing so, Keeling offers a sustained meditation on contemporary investments in futurity, speculation, and technology, paying particular attention to their significance to queer and black freedom. Keeling reads selected works, ...

Flash Fiction International: Very Short Stories from Around the World
A dazzling new anthology of the very best very short fiction from around the world. What is a flash fiction called in other countries? In Latin America it is a micro, in Denmark kortprosa, in Bulgaria mikro razkaz. These short shorts, usually no more than 750 words, range from linear narratives to the more unusual: stories based on mathematical forms, a paragraph-length novel, a scientific report on volcanic fireflies that proliferate in nightclubs. Flash has always—and everywhere—been a form of experiment, of possibility. A new entry in the lauded Flash and Sudden Fiction anthologies, this collection includes 86 of the most beautiful, provocative, and moving narratives by authors from six continents, including best-selling writer Etgar Keret, Zimbabwean writer Petina Gappah, Korean screenwriter Kim Young-ha, Nobel Prize winner Czeslaw Milosz, and Argentinian “Queen of the Microstory” Ana María Shua, among many others. These brilliantly chosen stories challenge readers to widen their vision and celebrate both the local and the universal.
