De la deconstrucción a la confección de lo humano
En la historia de la humanidad siempre ha habido épocas en las que se dan grandes cambios. La nuestra es una de esas: hoy día, hay una crisis del hombre. Tanto es así, que es pertinente hablar del intento de una deconstrucción humana y de una posterior confección de aquello que nos constituye como personas. Si del hombre ya no queda nada, como creyó Foucault, o si está condenado a decidir de sí lo que quiera ser, como se dice de Sartre, entonces tendríamos que aceptar que no hay naturaleza humana y una ley natural, y quedarían los derechos humanos sometidos al arbitrio humano, sin fundamento objetivo. Ésta es la consecuencia inevitable de lo que se ha denominado ideología de gén...
Disposable Women and Other Myths of Global Capitalism
Everyday, around the world, women who work in the Third World factories of global firms face the idea that they are disposable. Melissa W. Wright explains how this notion proliferates, both within and beyond factory walls, through the telling of a simple story: the myth of the disposable Third World woman. This myth explains how young women workers around the world eventually turn into living forms of waste. Disposable Women and Other Myths of Global Capitalism follows this myth inside the global factories and surrounding cities in northern Mexico and in southern China, illustrating the crucial role the tale plays in maintaining not just the constant flow of global capital, but the present regime of transnational capitalism. The author also investigates how women challenge the story and its meaning for workers in global firms. These innovative responses illustrate how a politics for confronting global capitalism must include the many creative ways that working people resist its dehumanizing effects.

The Dialectics of Citizenship
What does it mean to be a citizen? What impact does an active democracy have on its citizenry and why does it fail or succeed in fulfilling its promises? Most modern democracies seem unable to deliver the goods that citizens expect; many politicians seem to have given up on representing the wants and needs of those who elected them and are keener on representing themselves and their financial backers. What will it take to bring democracy back to its original promise of rule by the people? Bernd Reiter’s timely analysis reaches back to ancient Greece and the Roman Republic in search of answers. It examines the European medieval city republics, revolutionary France, and contemporary Brazil, ...

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.
