Lotería Huasteca
Home to an ethnically and linguistically diverse population, the Huasteca region of Eastern Mexico defies geographic and political boundaries and is instead known for its kaleidoscope of indigenous cultures rich in traditional art, music and dance.

Eva Perón
No Latin American woman has ever elicited such extreme feelings of love and hate as Eva Perón. She was an actress of humble origins who fell in love with and married the soon-to-be president of Argentina, Juan Domingo Perón. Evita, as she was fondly known, became the most powerful woman in Argentine history. Adored by the masses and loathed by the bourgeoisie, Evita polarized Argentine society. Not even her death could put an end to the mixed feelings she aroused during her lifetime, and Evita remains till this day a controversial figure. Eva Perón: A Reference Guide to Her Life and Works captures Evita’s eventful life, her works, and her legacy. The volume features a chronology that in...

La loca del desván
Este texto supone una novedosa interpretación de las obras de las grandes escritoras del siglo XIX. A través del estudio de sus logros en géneros radicalmente diferentes, las autoras descubrieron lo que parecía ser una tradición literaria manifiestamente femenina, que nadie había definido en su totalidad. Imágenes de encierro y fuga, fantasías en las que dobles locas hacían de sustitutas asociales de yoes dóciles, metáforas de incomodidad física manifestada en paisajes congelados e interiores ardientes; estos modelos reaparecían a lo largo de toda esta tradición, junto con las descripciones obsesivas de enfermedades como la anorexia, la agorafobia y la claustrofobia.
