Infected Empires
Given the current moment—polarized populations, increasing climate fears, and decline of supranational institutions in favor of a rising tide of nationalisms—it is easy to understand the proliferation of apocalyptic and dystopian elements in popular culture. Infected Empires examines one of the most popular figures in contemporary apocalyptic film: the zombie. This harbinger of apocalypse reveals bloody truths about the human condition, the wounds of history, and methods of contending with them. Infected Empires considers parallels in the zombie genre to historical and current events on different political, theological and philosophical levels, and proposes that the zombie can be read as a figure of decolonization and an allegory of resistance to oppressive structures that racialize, marginalize, disable, and dispose of bodies. Studying films from around the world, including Latin America, Asia, Africa, the US, and Europe, Infected Empires presents a vision of a global zombie that points toward a posthuman and feminist future.

Disability, Intersectional Agency, and Latinx Identity
This interdisciplinary volume links dis/ability and agency by exploring LatDisCrit’s theory and activist emancipatory practice. It uses the author’s experiential and analytical views as a blind brown Latinx engaged scholar and activist from the global south living and struggling in the highly racialized global north context of the United States. LatDisCrit integrates critically LatCrit and DisCrit which look at the interplay of race/ethnicity, diasporic cultures, historical sociopolitics and disability within multiple Latinx identities in mostly global north contexts, while incorporating global south epistemologies. Using intersectional analysis of key concepts through critical counterst...

Cognitive Disability Aesthetics
Cognitive Disability Aesthetics explores the invisibility of cognitive disability in theoretical, historical, social, and cultural contexts. Benjamin Fraser's cutting edge research and analysis signals a second-wave in disability studies that prioritizes cognition. Fraser expands upon previous research into physical disability representations and focuses on those disabilities that tend to be least visible in society (autism, Down syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia). Moving beyond established literary approaches analyzing prose representations of disability, the book explores how iconic and indexical modes of signification operate in visual texts. Taking on cognitive disability representations in a range of visual media (painting, cinema, and graphic novels), Fraser showcases the value of returning to impairment discourse. Cognitive Disability Aesthetics successfully reconfigures disability studies in the humanities and exposes the chasm that exists between Anglophone disability studies and disability studies in the Hispanic world.

Nupcialidad y cambio social en España
Este libro analiza el desarrollo histórico del mercado de loterías en España. La sociología clásica ha considerado la lotería como ejemplo de comportamiento irracional. La sociología funcionalista y de tradición marxista ha seguido esta tradición, entendiendo que el consumo de lotería está motivado por sentimientos de frustración o desesperación. La nueva sociología económica nos ofrece una perspectiva diferente del juego de la lotería y considera la medida en que las redes sociales pueden explicar pautas de consumo.
Comunidades locales y participación política en España
A pesar de la importancia del contexto local en nuestras vidas cotidianas, este ámbito es, sin duda, el gran olvidado de la sociología política y las ciencias políticas, y especialmente en España. No obstante, suele argumentarse que el municipio, como contexto sociopolítico, estructura ciertas oportunidades y pautas de interacción que pudieran dar cuenta de la participación política. Así, el argumento central de este trabajo es que la participación depende de "quiénes somos", pero también de "dónde vivimos" y que "quiénes somos donde vivimos". Esta obra analiza el efecto de ciertos rasgos municipales sobre el activismo político, lo que se denomina "ecología local del activismo político" y demuestra no solo su existencia, sino también que ésta resulta diferente según el rasgo municipal (tamaño o diversas formas de heterogeneidad de sus habitantes) y el tipo de activismo (comunitario o contencioso) que se considere.
