Arqueología, patrimonio, prehistoria e historia antigua de los pueblos "sin pasado"
El libro que el lector tiene en sus manos constituye la edición de las Actas de dos Cursos Extraordinarios de Verano de la Universidad de Salamanca que, con el título general de «Iberia en Arribes del Duero» se celebraron en los meses de septiembre de 2009 y julio de 2010. La finalidad de estos cursos fue doble: por una parte, actualizar los conocimientos científicos en torno al patrimonio histórico-arqueológico de la comarca de Las Arribes en particular y, en general, de la provincia de Salamanca y sus territorios limítrofes, tanto españoles como portugueses.

Women of the Bible
The Hebrew Bible and art reside at the core of this book, which analyzes the iconographic representation of several women of the Bible. The contributors consider the ways in which the biblical texts regarding these women had been read and understood throughout time and the means by which they were represented. Each study also explores the different values associated with these representations according to the problems, worries and concerns of each period. Drawing upon disciplines such as theology, philology or history of art, the essays within this volume provide a cross-sectional, plural and rich approach. In focusing upon iconographic representation, numerous visual cultures of the last millennium are explored, and special emphasis is placed upon several integral biblical women such as Bathsheba, Moses' mother, the Pharaoh's Daughter, Ruth, Naomi and Deborah, and their lasting influence upon Western art and culture. This book pursues an understanding of the history of the transmission and reception of the Bible in general, and of the women of the Old Testament in particular.
Art, Global Maoism and the Chinese Cultural Revolution
This is the first book to explore the global influence of Maoism on modern and contemporary art. Featuring eighteen original essays written by established and emerging scholars from around the world, and illustrated with fascinating images not widely known in the west, the volume demonstrates the significance of visuality in understanding the protean nature of this powerful worldwide revolutionary movement. Contributions address regions as diverse as Singapore, Madrid, Lima and Maputo, moving beyond stereotypes and misconceptions of Mao Zedong Thought's influence on art to deliver a survey of the social and political contexts of this international phenomenon. At the same time, the book attends to the the similarities and differences between each case study. It demonstrates that the chameleonic appearances of global Maoism deserve a more prominent place in the art history of both the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
