Historia cultural: apuntes desde México
Historia Cultural: Apuntes desde México, es un libro que considera una posición de pensamiento desde México, no solamente abordando el lugar de estudio, sino también los factores culturales que nos limitan y nos enriquecen epistémicamente. Aunque, si queremos ser más especícos, la mayoría nos ubicamos en Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco. En este sentido, desde el trabajo de investigación de las y los integrantes del posgrado en Historia Cultural del Centro Universitario de los Lagos, en la Universidad de Guadalajara, nos interesa proporcionar un primer acercamiento sobre la forma en que entendemos y enseñamos la historia cultural, con el ánimo de intercambiar y debatir.
¿Para qué usamos el pasado?
Aquí propongo una relectura del uso de una referencia tan escurridiza como "el pasado", desde la muy particular posición de cada colega que, desde diversas universidades del país da cuenta. Este libro conformado por doce capítulos, no sólo reúne colaboración académica, también sugiere activismo y aplicación del conocimiento en tópicos históricos o culturales, atendiendo temas prioritarios tales como la migración, vejez, violencia de género, preservación de patrimonio cultural, participación política y memoria histórica. En este documento también nos interesan los valiosos aportes de la literatura, filología, y hermenéutica, disciplinas por demás necesarias para entender...
Communicating the Past in the Digital Age
Recent developments in the field of archaeology are not only progressing archaeological fieldwork but also changing the way we practise and present archaeology today. As these digital technologies are being used more and more every day on excavations or in museums, this also means that we must change the way we approach teaching and communicating archaeology as a discipline. The communication of archaeology is an often neglected but ever more important part of the profession. Instead of traditional lectures and museum displays, we can interact with the past in various ways. Students of archaeology today need to learn and understand these technologies, but can on the other hand also profit fr...
Public Art and Museums in Cultural Districts
Museums and public art have traditionally taken significantly different approaches to customer engagement, but throughout history they have also worked together in some urban contexts, notably as landmarks of so-called cultural districts. Public Art and Museums in Cultural Districts reviews their changing interactions in many different types of cities since the Enlightenment, or even before, going back to the etymological origins of museums and monuments in classical antiquity. The type of historical enquiry presented within the volume is not intended as a total narrative, but the international study cases considered convey a global panorama of the shifting paradigms set in different periods...
The Short, Swift Time of Gods on Earth
"As definitive a work as we are likely to get on Pima-Papago mythology."—William Bright, author of A Coyote Reader
School Leadership
Based on the assumption that the survival of the nation's schools and their leaders depends on these leaders having real influence over the quality of schooling, this volume draws from the work of many authorities to look at leadership from three perspectives: the person, the structure, and the skills. Chapters focusing on the person who holds the leadership position look at characteristics of today's educational leaders, at what makes an effective leader, at the scarcity of female and black school leaders, and at leadership style. The part of the volume focusing on structure looks at the organizational supports that underlie school leadership. It examines school-based management, management support teams, participative decision-making systems, and determinants of school climate. Chapters on leadership skills highlight several abilities administrators must master to be effective leaders in education today. This part of the volume looks at such skills as communicating, leading meetings, managing time and stress, managing conflicts, and solving problems. Practical suggestions for using this information in schools are offered throughout. (Author/JM)
The Renewal of Pagan Antiquity
A collection of essays by the art historian Aby Warburg, these essays look beyond iconography to more psychological aspects of artistic creation: the conditions under which art was practised; its social and cultural contexts; and its conceivable historical meaning.

A Frozen Woman
WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE A Frozen Woman charts Ernaux's teenage awakening, and then the parallel progression of her desire to be desirable and her ambition to fulfill herself in her chosen profession - with the inevitable conflict between the two. And then she is 30 years old, a teacher married to an executive, mother of two infant sons. She looks after their nice apartment, raises her children. And yet, like millions of other women, she has felt her enthusiasm and curiosity, her strength and her happiness, slowly ebb under the weight of her daily routine. The very condition that everyone around her seems to consider normal and admirable for a woman is killing her. While each of Ernaux's books contain an autobiographical element, A Frozen Woman, one of Ernaux's early works, concentrates the spotlight piercingly on Annie herself. Mixing affection, rage and bitterness, A Frozen Woman shows us Ernaux's developing art when she still relied on traditional narrative, before the shortened form emerged that has since become her trademark.
