Vilém Flusser y la Cultura de la Imagen
Las ideas de Flusser provocan sensaciones exquisitas en el pensamiento, cuales letanías, cuando descubrimos una realidad con la que hemos vivido sin darnos cuenta. Se trata de reflexiones reveladoras del estado actual del conocimiento humano y su modo de ilación, pese a que su autor no alcanzo aun a conocer la maduración de la intranet en internet. Como consigna en «Excurso»: «Ojalá que este texto despierte en el lector una experiencia similar, a la vez embriagadora y liberadora, tal como lo ha hecho en el escriba de estas líneas». Como destaca Mauricio Mancilla en el prefacio de la presente obra, «este libro es testimonio de la infatigable pasión y ‘oficio’ de Breno Onetto po...

Martin Heidegger
Esta obra es el resultado del encuentro de varios de los más connotados especialistas internacionales y nacionales en torno a la figura del filósofo de Meßkirch. En un recorrido que pasa por una buena parte de la obra monumental de este pensador alemán, el lector encontrará profundas y sugestivas contribuciones acerca del pensamiento heideggeriano anterior a Ser y Tiempo, y en torno a este su escrito capital; dilucidaciones de su filosofía posterior a la Kehre así como reflexiones que toman como eje central los conceptos del arte, el lenguaje y la poesía, y la confrontación de su pensamiento con la filosofía de Schelling, Hegel, Bergson y Nietzsche.

Making Medicines in Early Colonial Lima, Peru
Based on extensive archival research in Peru, Spain, and Italy, Making Medicines in Early Colonial Lima, Peru examines how apothecaries in Lima were trained, ran their businesses, traded medicinal products, prepared medicines, and found their place in society. In the book, Newson argues that apothecaries had the potential to be innovators in science, especially in the New World where they encountered new environments and diverse healing traditions. However, it shows that despite experimental tendencies among some apothecaries, they generally adhered to traditional humoral practices and imported materia medica from Spain rather than adopt native plants or exploit the region’s rich mineral resources. This adherence was not due to state regulation, but reflected the entrenchment of humoral beliefs in popular thought and their promotion by the Church and Inquisition.
Latin American Classical Composers
Building on the strengths of the first edition, the second edition of Latin American Classical Composers: A Biographical Dictionary presents expanded and updated coverage of its topic with an aim to be comprehensive. The authors have conducted exhaustive research to fill in gaps and correct minor errors in the first edition, adding young composers and documenting deaths since 1996, when the first edition appeared. Hundreds of composers are represented in this volume, which presents biographical data, including dates of birth and death, personal information about composers' background and training, and a selective listing of each composer's works. Sources for further study are noted within each entry. An index of composers by country rounds out this work.
Children's Mobilities
This book offers a critical and comprehensive analysis of children’s mobilities by focusing on its interdependent, imagined and relational aspects. In doing so, it challenges existing literature, which, in mobilities studies, tends to overlook the mobilities of marginalised social groups; in social science more generally, tends to immobilize children’s studies; and in children’s mobility studies has mainly focused on the ‘independent’ and corporeal travel of children. The book situates children’s mobilities in wider contexts, offering an interdisciplinary and critical perspective throughout and drawing on scholarship at the confluence of childhood and mobilities and a range of research to offer new insights that inform the field of mobilities and studies of childhood. In this way, the book aims at widening the perspective on children’s mobility towards the inclusion of diverse age groups and of the manifold forms of mobilities that are part of children’s lives, from an interdependent and relational point of view.
'Los Invisibles'
Examining the social, medical and cultural history of male homosexuality in Spain, this book looks at it from the time homosexuality came to be an issue of medical, legal and cultural concern. Research into homosexuality in Spain is in its infancy. The last ten or fifteen years have seen a proliferation of studies on gender in Spain but much of this work has concentrated on women's history, literature and femininity. In contrast to existing research which concentrates on literature and literary figures, "Los Invisibles" focuses on the change in cultural representation of same-sex activity of through medicalisation, social and political anxieties about race and the late emergence of homosexual sub-cultures in the last quarter of the twentieth century. As such, this book constitutes an analysis of discourses and ideas from a social history and medical history position. Much of the research for the book was supported by a grant from the Wellcome Trust to research the medicalisation of homosexuality in Spain.
