Estética y sistemas abiertos
Este libro, editado por Iliana Hernández García y Raúl Niño Bernal, presenta una lectura de la ciudad desde dos vertientes de la estética por fronteras del conocimiento de procesos no lineales: la vertiente de sistemas y complejidad y la de una convergencia teórica de varias ciencias y artes. Diversos autores aportan miradas en campos como las heurísticas computacionales, la economía de lo informal, la habitabilidad de lo público, los performances artísticos, el artmedia, la cultura y la música. De esta manera participan en el debate sobre la cotidianidad, la complejidad y la sostenibilidad de las ciudades para elaborar una re exión sobre las inestabilidades de las sociedades, la indeterminación y los sistemas abiertos. Distintas exploraciones conceptuales se reúnen en torno a la Estética como lugar de vínculos inéditos entre distintas prácticas y campos de conocimiento. Así, los textos aquí reunidos presentan una visión interdisciplinaria para comprender la ciudad como un macroorganismo vivo, en el cual interactúan la habitabilidad, los fenómenos vivos de la cultura, la ciencia y la tecnología.
Commodus
The emperor Commodus (AD 180-192) has commonly been portrayed as an insane madman, whose reign marked the beginning of the end of the Roman Empire. Indeed, the main point of criticism on his father, Marcus Aurelius, is that he appointed his son as his successor. Especially Commodus’ behaviour as a gladiator, and the way he represented himself with divine attributes (especially those of Hercules), are often used as evidence for the emperor’s presumed madness. However, this ‘political biography’ will apply modern interpretations of the spectacles in the arena, and of the imperial cult, to Commodus' reign. It will focus on the dissemination and reception of imperial images, and suggest that there was a method in Commodus’ madness.

Farewell, Brindavoine
The French cartooning master Tardi’s first solo graphic novel is a riotous action-adventure comedy. Paris, 1914. In one auspicious night, Lucien Brindavoine’s humdrum life is thrown into wild disarray. Out of the blue, a strange old man visits Brinvadoine’s flat and implores him to go to Istanbul to seek his destiny. No sooner are these fateful words spoken than a shot is fired through the window and the man is murdered by a mysterious assailant. Thus kicks off a madcap adventure wherein the mild-mannered dilettante Brindavoine races to the Middle East ― by boat, plane, and jeep ―with cutthroat assassins threatening him at every turn. After much ado, he encounters an iron city in the desert where an eccentric American billionaire will decide his fate. The first solo graphic novel by Tardi, Farewell, Brindavoine showcases the French cartooning master’s signature blend of dark humor, brutal violence, and beguiling mystery. For Tardi fans, an essential early work; for newcomers, a thrilling primer to the Tardi oeuvre.
Land and Labour
Modern scholarship dealing with the economy of the ancient world has developed rapidly in recent decades. Studies of ancient economic structures and history have in many respects achieve standards as a discipline comparable to those of economic history, using models and scenarios exactly as it is frequently seen in studies of later periods with better sources. The best example is perhaps the historical demography of Roman Italy. It was a marginal field of research until the early 1990s, but is now one of the key subjects in the study of Roman economy with a lively debate between the followers of a low count reconstruction of the demographic development in Roman Italy versus the scholars who ...
