Violence in American Drama
This interdisciplinary collection of 19 essays addresses violence on the American stage. Topics include the revolutionary period and the role of violence in establishing national identity, violence by and against ethnic groups, and females as perpetrators and victims, as well as state and psychological violence and violence within the family. The book works to assess whether representing violence may cause its cessation, or whether it generates further destruction.

La organización social del cuidado de niños niñas y adolescentes en colombia
No somos nada sin el otro/a. Esta es la mejor expresión del valor fundamental del cuidado. El cuidado que sostiene la vida. El cuidado que durante esta dolorosa pandemia ha sido la base fundamental para proteger la vida en todas sus expresiones. El cuidado que por siglos ha sido invisibilizado y desplegado especialmente por millones de mujeres en el mundo. Quien cuida y a quienes se cuida ha puesto en evidencia la división tajante sobre los cuidados. Como lo señala Judith Butler, todas y todos nacemos dependientes. En eso estamos en condición de igualdad. Pero es en la división sexual del trabajo y en la valoración que las sociedades hacen del cuidado donde empiezan las diferencias y las profundas desigualdades. Este libro nos ofrece un bien común intelectual, al documentar de forma cooperativa la organización social del cuidado de niñas, niños y adolescentes en Bogotá, Cartagena, Medellín, Cali y Bucaramanga, y nos propone como proyecto de sociedad “un movimiento significativo que ponga en el centro la vida y el cuidado como acciones para construirla, promoverla y conservarla”. Angela María Robledo Gómez
