The Era of Ashes
Welcome to Nortna, a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by unceasing wars and battles and reduced to nothing but ashes, leaving burnt shells of villages where vestiges of humanity and civilization are nothing more than the smoke that rises from the death and destruction. In the midst of despair, a lone warrior named Naflaine will rise to fight for the last of his kind. Armed with courage and conviction, Naflaine, half elf, half dragon, will do what those before him failed to do in order to save his dragon kin from complete annihilation before it is too late. The few dragon survivors that still tenuously exist will band together on a journey to face tremendous odds against all who are trying to destroy and defeat them. In The Era of Ashes, Barshay Tabor creates a fantasy world that is hypnotic and spellbinding in the tradition of renowned writers such as Christopher Paolini and J.R.R. Tolkien. Evocative in its detail and ability to transport you to the realm of its netherworld, The Era of Ashes is a truly unique and imaginative work.

It argues that the possibility of achieving justice in these regions lies beyond market and state and is yet to come. This book appeals to a wide range of scholars, ranging from national literature and film specialists of Argentina, Chile, and Spain, to philosophers and students of ethics, human rights, and questions of justice.
Witnessing beyond the Human
This book rethinks the nature of testimony beyond the ground of the human in works produced in Chile and Argentina from the 1970s to the present. Focusing on literature by Juan Gelman, Sergio Chejfec, and Roberto Bolaño, as well as art by Eugenio Dittborn, Kate Jenckes argues that these works represent life, death, and the relation between self and other "beyond the human," that is beyond the sense that we can know and represent ourselves and others, with powerful implications for our understanding of history, community, and politics. Jenckes engages with the work of Jacques Derrida together with the intellectually rigorous field of Chilean aesthetic theory to explore issues related to the nature of testimony.

Spanish Cinema in the Global Context
Across a broad spectrum of media, markets, and national contexts, self-reflexivity continues to be a favored narrative mode with wide ranging functions. In this book Amago argues that, in addition to making visible industry and production concerns within the film text, reflexive aesthetics have a cartographic function that serves to map the place of a film (geographic and cultural) within the global cinemascape, and thus to bring into sharper relief images of the national. Focusing on films in the contemporary Spanish context that in some way reflect back on themselves and the processes of their own production, that purposefully blur the distinction between reality and fiction, or that draw attention to the various modes of cinematic exhibition and reception, Amago proposes ways in which these movies can be employed to understand Spanish national cinemas today as imbedded within a dynamic global system.
