¿Quiénes somos? ¿De dónde venimos? ¿A dónde vamos?
Prensa y música, música y prensa poseen una enorme vinculación, importancia e interés. Por ello, este libro pretende aproximarse a la correspondencia entre ambas desde muy diferentes puntos de partida. Así, la investigación musicológica, la crítica, el periodismo, la academia, la divulgación o la docencia son solo algunos de ellos.Estructurado en once capítulos que abordan distintos temas complementarios entre sí, una introducción inicial y un espectro temporal que va desde 1940 a nuestros días. Alberto Caparrós, Elsa Calero, Eduardo Murillo, Robert Ferrer, Alicia Pajón, Juan Urdániz, Ugo Fellone, Laura Alonso, Pilar Ferrer, Belén Galletero, Miguel Ángel Aguilar y Marco Antonio de la Ossa se aproximan a muy variados estilos musicales (música clásica, himnos guerrilleros, flamenco, canción de autor, bandas sonoras de videojuegos, post-rock, tango, punk, hip hop, mestizaje…). Del mismo modo, en este volumen tampoco se discrimina de forma alguna en medios, ya que revistas musicales, clandestinas, fanzines, prensa generalista nacional, regional, local, radio, televisión, Internet y otros muchos soportes tienen espacio en estas páginas.
The Melancholy of Anatomy
In The Melancholy of Anatomy, his ninth collection of poetry, Martin Corless-Smith turns his attention towards ageing and mortality, and in particular to the death of his father. Shifting between formal verse and prose, from the metaphysical to the whimsical, from surreal to anecdotal, the book moves between poetic articulations as a mind might through memories, sifting to find anything to hold on to as everything flows and falls away. At times melancholic at times nihilistic at times luminous and dark, this collection asks questions about poetry, memory and what it is to have loved and lived. Praise for The Fool and The Bee: "Corless-Smith has an extraordinary eye for detail and this meticu...

The Border and Its Bodies
The Border and Its Bodies examines the impact of migration from Central America and México to the United States on the most basic social unit possible: the human body. It explores the terrible toll migration takes on the bodies of migrants—those who cross the border and those who die along the way—and discusses the treatment of those bodies after their remains are discovered in the desert. The increasingly militarized U.S.-México border is an intensely physical place, affecting the bodies of all who encounter it. The essays in this volume explore how crossing becomes embodied in individuals, how that embodiment transcends the crossing of the line, and how it varies depending on subject positions and identity categories, especially race, class, and citizenship. Timely and wide-ranging, this book brings into focus the traumatic and real impact the border can have on those who attempt to cross it, and it offers new perspectives on the effects for rural communities and ranchers. An intimate and profoundly human look at migration, The Border and Its Bodies reminds us of the elemental fact that the border touches us all.
Street Art and Activism in the Greater Caribbean
Foregrounding street art in the capital cities of Cuba, Haiti, and Puerto Rico, this book argues that Antillean street artists diagnose the “impossible state” of the arrested present (colonized, occupied, or under dictatorship) while simultaneously imagining liberated futures and fully sovereign states. Jana Evans Braziel launches a comparative study of art, politics, history, urban street cultures, engaged citizenships, and social transformations in three Antillean capital cities—Havana, Cuba; Port-au-Prince, Haiti; and San Juan, Puerto Rico—of the Greater Caribbean. The book includes a photo documentary archive of street art, murals, and installations by key muralists in these citi...
