The Ashgate Research Companion to Moral Panics
The Ashgate Research Companion to Moral Panics offers a comprehensive assemblage of cutting-edge critical and theoretical perspectives on the concept of moral panic. All chapters represent original research by many of the most influential theorists and researchers now working in the area of moral panic, including Nachman Ben-Yehuda and Erich Goode, Joel Best, Chas Critcher, Mary deYoung, Alan Hunt, Toby Miller, Willem Schinkel, Kenneth Thompson, Sheldon Ungar, and Grazyna Zajdow. Chapters come from a range of disciplines, including media studies, literary studies, history, legal studies, and sociology, with significant new elaborations on the concept of moral panic (and its future), informed and powerful critiques, and detailed empirical studies from several continents. A clear and comprehensive survey of a concept that is increasingly influential in a number of disciplines as well as in popular culture, this collection of the latest research in the field addresses themes including the evolution of the moral panic concept, sex panics, media panics, moral panics over children and youth, and the future of the moral panic concept.
Experiments with Life Itself
Every book relating the history of modern architecture features a large number of pages dedicated to avant-garde designs and the formation of the modern movement in the interwar years, and a similar number devoted to reconstruction and expansion after the Second World War. Meanwhile, as if owing to lack of understanding or convenient silence, there is void of dark years, of wars, exile and misfortune about which little can be said. However, it was in these dark times, as in so many other revealing moments in the history of culture, that experimental and profoundly invigorating experiences were taking place. Architects and artists voluntarily or forcibly driven to the margins of social importance began to react to a culturally unsustainable situation of which we know very little even today. In Experiments with Life Itself, Francisco Gonzalez de Canales studies a series of unrelated cases from the late 1930s to the late 1950s that he refers to as domestic self-experimentation.

Arquitecturas del lapso y Cronocartografías del revés
En 2005, un verso inaugura una relación que perdura desde entonces. La sorprendente diagnosis del matemático y filósofo Fernando Zalamea, que proponía en su Premio Jovellanos Ariadna y Penélope. Redes y Mixturas en el Mundo Contemporáneo, se entretejía, por una afinidad de meticulosa correspondencia, con la revisión de la Categoría de la Forma articulada desde y hacia la arquitectura que en ese momento construía el arquitecto Carlos Tapia. Nace así Arquitecturas del lapso y cronocartografías del revés fruto de este trabajo. El verso, situado al inicio del libro de Zalamea, cincelaba anticipadamente las claves de lo que constituyen las arquitecturas del lapso y las cronocartograf...
Temporalidades contemporáneas, incluido el pasado en el presente
Quizás, en lo hodierno, en su acelerado desarrollo tecnológico y su ambigua relación con la cultura contemporánea, se geste una revolución latente: una reconsideración radical del sentido del tiempo. Un cambio que, por su complejidad y sus alcances, no debe describirse desde una perspectiva única sino desde la confluencia de miradas transdisciplinares surgidas de diferentes campos de investigación. Aún en el diagnóstico centenario de indeterminación que nos afecta, este Cuaderno ofrece un entramado de reflexiones sobre lo temporal que, abarcando desde la sociología hasta la matemática y la filosofía, desde el arte a la antropología, la literatura y la arquitectura, perfilan un atlas para actualizar y reforzar el horizonte de lo patrimonial en nuestro presente.
El territorio como "demo" : demo(a)grafías, demo(a)cracias y epidemias
Tres argumentos-clave son recorridos por este libro coral, donde investigadores de la Red de Estudios Socioespaciales (RESE), debaten distintos trabajos de investigación, en términos espaciales y desde miradas críticas, a partir de una negativa propositiva, para poner a disposición de otros especialistas, pero sin duda de la sociedad en general, los desencajes y subsunciones del Espacio respecto al Tiempo, Demo(a)cracias, Demo(a)grafía y Epidemias epitomizan, con los desarrollos aquí propuestos, tres factores de nuestro presente, con un cuarto añadido
