The Tradition of the Image of Edessa
The Image of Edessa was an image of Christ, which, according to tradition, was of miraculous origin. It was taken from Edessa to Constantinople in 944, and disappeared from known history in the aftermath of the Fourth Crusade in 1204. It generated, however, a vast amount of literature and hundreds of copies in churches all over the Byzantine world. This book is a study of the literature, paintings, icons and other aspects related to the Image of Edessa. It examines how it was used as a tool to express Christ’s humanity and for various other purposes, and how some of the related literature became completely decontextualised and used as a magical charm, especially in the West.
Occupying Schools, Occupying Land
In Occupying Schools, Occupying Land, Rebecca Tarlau looks at the Brazilian Landless Workers' Movement over the past thirty-five years to illustrate how social movements can use state services, such as schools, to support their social change goals.

This bookprovides an analysis of how activists convinced government officials to implement these educational practices and how these initiatives strengthened the movement.

Siguen reinventando formas de resistencia, a veces propositiva, a veces expectante, a menudo esgrimiendo los recursos de la negociación con el Estado, las más de las veces sustentando sus voces en la memoria colectiva. En el marco del Año Internacional de las Lenguas impulsado desde el sistema de Naciones Unidas, esperamos contribuir en este número de nuestra revista a la reflexión y al diálogo, al reconocimiento, valoración y desarrollo de estas lenguas y...
