Shows how Deleuze's philosophy is shaking up research in the humanities and social sciences. Deleuzian thinking is having a significant impact on research practices in the Social Sciences not least because one of its key implications is the demand to break down the false divide between theory and practice. This book brings together international academics from a range of Social Science and Humanities disciplines to reflect on how Deleuze's philosophy is opening up and shaping methodologies and practices of empirical research.

Expanding the Palace of Torah offers a broad philosophical overview of the challenges the women’s revolution poses to Orthodox Judaism, as well as Orthodox Judaism’s response to those challenges. Writing as an insider—herself an Orthodox Jew—Tamar Ross confronts the radical feminist critique of Judaism as a religion deeply entrenched in patriarchy. Surprisingly, very little work has been done in this area, beyond exploring the leeway for ad hoc solutions to practical problems as they arise on the halakhic plane. In exposing the largely male-focused thrust of the rabbinic tradition and its biblical grounding, she sees this critique as posing a potential threat to the theological heart of traditional Judaism—the belief in divine revelation. This new edition brings this acclaimed and classic text back into print with a new essay by Tamar Ross which examines new developments in feminist thought since the book was first published in 2004.
L’anàlisi dels sistemes de tractament en les llengües constitueix un dels temes pragmàtics i sociolingüístics bàsics. Els estudis més recents han plantejat, per una banda, la relació dels tractaments amb el fenomen universal de la cortesia, i per una altra banda, la correlació de les formes gramaticals i lèxiques en què es manifesten els tractaments amb les característiques dels grups i les classes socials. En aquest volum s’estudien els sistemes de tractament de bona part de les llengües de la península Ibèrica (català, castellà, gallec i basc) i altres llengües (germàniques, eslaves, altres llengües romàniques i llengües asiàtiques, especialment el japonès) i es recull un exemple aplicat de formes de tractament, el de l’àmbit parlamentari. És una temàtica d’un interès notable, amb implicacions en l’ensenyament de llengües, la traducció i l’assessorament lingüístic.

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Set among a Lebanese immigrant community in the Brazilian port of Manaus, The Brothers is the story of identical twins, Yaqub and Omar, whose mutual jealousy is offset only by their love for their mother. But it is Omar who is the object of Zana's Jocasta-like passion, while her husband, Halim, feels her slipping away from him, as their beautiful daughter, Rania, makes a tragic claim on her brothers' affection. Vivid, exotic, and lushly atmospheric, The Brothers is the story of a family's disintegration, of a changing city and the culture clash between the native-born inhabitants and a new immigrant group, and of the future the next generation will make from the ruins.
Un libro que estudia lo qué pasó después de 'El Bogotazo. Como continuación de Mataron a Gaitán, Herbert Braun propone una mirada a los meses que siguieron al 9 de abril. Por medio de telegramas, cuentos, artículos de prensa y discursos, recupera las impresiones de personajes públicos y anónimos durante el crítico año de 1949, cuando los colombianos de arriba abajo sentían el temblor de su época y presentían su futuro. La nación sentida es un libro de historia fuera de lo común y, como tal, tiene el don de revivir las pasiones olvidadas por la historia oficial. Al conectar distintos relatos, Braun compone un texto fascinante en el que consigue captar la sensibilidad de un país: los comportamientos, lostratos sociales y la cotidianidad donde se cifran las condiciones históricas y las circunstancias que dieron forma a la Colombia actual.
