Working at the local processing plant, Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans—though no one calls them that anymore. His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think too hard about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly. First, it was reported that an infectious virus has made all animal meat poisonous to humans. Then governments initiated the “Transition.” Now, eating human meat—“special meat”—is legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing. Then one day he’s given a gift: a live specimen of the finest quality. Though he’s aware that any form of personal contact is forbidden on pain of death, little by little he starts to treat her like a human being. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost—and what might still be saved.
Sosok itu memiliki rambut yang tumbuh jarang-jarang. Salah satu telinganya memiliki ukuran yang jauh lebih kecil karena mengerut. Dan wajahnya… wajah itu rusak seluruhnya. Tidak ada alis atau bulu mata di sana. Hidungnya berpilin, bibirnya bengkak dan keriput, serta mulutnya serupa seringai seperti gambar patung Batara Kala di buku pelajaran. Di pipi yang berkerut kasar, terdapat banyak cekungan. Kemudian, sebuah pikiran menyergap benak Ranti, “Inikah Akdong? Makhluk terkutuk yang diusir dari desa sepuluh tahun lalu?” *** Ranti tidak pernah berharap bahwa dia akan bertemu dengan Akdong yang ditakuti penduduk desa, dibenci, dihindari, dan diyakini sebagai sumber dari segala malapetaka. ...

Aprovechando el homenaje a un penalista universal como era el Prof. Carlos Daza Gómez, a quien todos los que participamos en esta obra tuvimos el privilegio de conocer y disfrutar, en este libro se abordan cuestiones de innegable importancia para la ciencia penal de nuestro tiempo. El Derecho penal, la Política criminal, la Criminología y la Victimología se reúnen para dar cumplida cuenta de algunos de los dilemas sobre los que pivota un saber necesariamente integral, que se niega a ser una atalaya al margen de la realidad y que mantiene su razón de ser en la defensa a ultranza de los derechos humanos.
ÒApa bedanya jatuh cinta dan mengidolakan?Ó ÒKalau jatuh cinta itu, kita sudah berkorban seperti apapun tanpa diminta, nggak dibalas, paling patah hati dan sakit hati, lama-lama sembuh sendiri, tapi masih mengingat-ingat karena kenangan itu nggak pernah mau hilang. Kalau mengidolakan, sudah merasa berkorban, tapi nggak berbalas, sakit hati dan berapa tahun kemudian merasa konyol dengan pengorbanan-pengorbanan itu, lalu mengatakan ÓI was stupidÓ. Ada penyesalan di sana

Toward the middle of the 1950s, abstract art became a dominant trend in the Latin American cultural scene. Many artists incorporated elements of abstraction into their rigorous artistic vocabularies, while at the same time, the representation of geometric lines and structures filtered into everyday life, appearing in textiles, posters, murals, and landscapes. The translation of a field-changing Spanish-language book, Abstract Crossings analyzes the relationship between, on the one hand, the emergence of abstract proposals in avant-garde groups and, on the other, the institutionalization and newfound hegemony of abstract poetics as part of Latin America’s imaginary of modernization. A profu...

Understanding the iconoclastic work of a lifelong cinematic pioneer Manoel de Oliveira's eighty-five year career made him a filmmaking icon and a cultural giant in his native Portugal. A lifelong cinematic pioneer, Oliveira merged distinctive formal techniques with philosophical treatments of universal themes--frustrated love, aging, nationhood, evil, and divine grace--in films that always moved against mainstream currents. Randal Johnson navigates Oliveira's massive feature film oeuvre. Locating the director's work within the broader context of Portuguese and European cinema, Johnson discusses historical and political influences on Oliveira's work, particularly Portugal's transformation from dictatorship to social democracy. He ranges from Oliveira's early concerns with cinematic specificity to hybrid discourses that suggest a tenuous line between film and theater on the one hand, and between fiction and documentary on the other. A rare English-language portrait of the director, Manoel de Oliveira invites students and scholars alike to explore the work of one of the cinema's greatest and most prolific artists.
