Estas jornadas se han convertido en una cita forzosa para las ciencias jurídicas en Cuba. Por fortuna, cada año se suman juristas de reconocido prestigio no solo de Iberoamérica, sino también de otras naciones europeas. Las jornadas han devenido, así, en punto de encuentro entre diversos ordenamientos jurídicos, amén de la confraternidad entre los juristas allí reunidos. El tema elegido para la edición de la jornada fue el de los contratos gratuitos, entre los cuales destaca la donación, tipo contractual más significativo, por ...
El azar, el riesgo, el alea está presente en sentido general en cualquier tipo de contrato. Introducirse en el mercado es hoy un riesgo, incluso para el más avezado mercader. Toda contratación lleva a sus autores a asumir una posibilidad de ganancia o pérdida. El alea, en consecuencia, ha devenido en un elemento perenne del mundo de la contratación. Empero, en ocasiones las partes, per se, la elevan a elemento causal y, por consiguiente, puede llegar a formar parte de la propia naturaleza de un tipo contractual determinado. Sobre estos derroteros transitó la apretada agenda académica de la X Jornada Internacional de Derecho de Contratos, celebrada en La Habana, en enero de 2011. Duran...
Thirteen-year-old Celina Zagoradniy-Montoya dreams of a different life; a life where her beloved father is alive again, where there's enough food and medicine for her sick brother, and where Mama doesn't have to work so hard. But when an answer to her impoverished family's prayers arrives in a form Celina did not anticipate and doesn't want, the conflicted young girl soon finds herself on a journey of self-discovery, a journey that leads her down a path wrought with fear, pain, and mistrust. Then, just as she is beginning to accept her new life, a stranger from the past appears and reveals the shocking secret Celina's mother has kept for years, a secret that will test Celina's faith and force her to question all she holds dear and leave her changed forever.

Tracing the configuration of the slapstick, destitute Peladita/Peladito and the Pachuca/Pachuco (depicted in flashy zoot suits) from 1928 to 2004, Wild Tongues is an ambitious, extensive examination of social order in Mexican and Chicana/o cultural productions in literature, theater, film, music, and performance art. From the use of the Peladita and the Peladito as stock characters who criticized various aspects of the Mexican government in the 1920s and 1930s to contemporary performance art by María Elena Gaitán and Dan Guerrero, which yields a feminist and queer-studies interpretation, Rita Urquijo-Ruiz emphasizes the transnational capitalism at play in these comic voices. Her study enco...
