Redescubriendo el archivo etnográfico audiovisual
Este libro ofrece múltiples aproximaciones desde distintas disciplinas a la producción fílmica del Archivo Etnográfico Audiovisual (AEA) del Instituto Nacional Indigenista (INI). Dicho corpus de cine etnográfico fue producido entre 1978 y 1995 con el fin de documentar para la posteridad diferentes aspectos socioculturales de los pueblos indígenas de México. Los filmes del AEA reflejan una forma particular de mirar y representar la diversidad cultural, despliegan un entramado de significados, imaginarios y estereotipos en torno a los pueblos originarios de nuestro país, en una época de profundas transformaciones en México y el mundo. El AEA comprende alrededor de cincuenta películas de diferentes duraciones y mucho material fílmico sin editar, resguardado actualmente en el Acervo de Cine y Video Alfonso Muñoz del Instituto Nacional de los Pueblos Indígenas (INPI). Los catorce textos que conforman esta publicación buscan motivar a los lectores a conocer o redescubrir este patrimonio audiovisual, nos ofrecen pistas y claves para apreciar su enorme riqueza, que por muchos años ha pasado inadvertida y aún permanece en estado latente.
Proteins and Proteomics of Leishmania and Trypanosoma
This book contains a collection of critical reviews on the expression of biologically functional proteins in Leishmania and Trypanosoma, which was written by renowned researchers on this field.

The Grammar of Untold Stories
Sixteen essays ranging from lyric essays to narrative journalism address how we make sense of what we cannot know, how we make change in the world, how we heal, and how we know when we are home. Collectively, these essays convey the longing for agency and connection, particularly among women. They will resonate with readers of all ages, but perhaps especially with women in the second half of life, those dealing with aging parents, retirement, illness, and accompanying vulnerabilities. Here readers will find comfort within keen reflection upon life's ambiguities.
Words of the True Peoples/Palabras de los Seres Verdaderos
As part of the larger, ongoing movement throughout Latin America to reclaim non-Hispanic cultural heritages and identities, indigenous writers in Mexico are reappropriating the written word in their ancestral tongues and in Spanish. As a result, the long-marginalized, innermost feelings, needs, and worldviews of Mexico's ten to twenty million indigenous peoples are now being widely revealed to the Western societies with which these peoples coexist. To contribute to this process and serve as a bridge of intercultural communication and understanding, this groundbreaking, three-volume anthology gathers works by the leading generation of writers in thirteen Mexican indigenous languages: Nahuatl,...

Marta the Divine
Tirso de Molina's Marta the Divine (c. 1614-15) is a spirited comedy about an ingenious young woman who fakes religious piety in order to avoid an arranged marriage imposed upon her by her father. Marta's false religiosity becomes a cover for sneaking her boyfriend into her house and, to all intents and purposes, having a sexual relationship with him without her credulous father suspecting a thing. The stakes involved in this risky gambit are particularly high because her boyfriend, Felipe, is also the man who has killed her brother. In this fast-moving play that celebrates the victory of youth over age, of love over revenge, little is held sacred, as circumstances spiral to the point of out...
