Krisenumschreibungen
Welche Potenziale bieten Krisen? Welche gesellschaftliche Funktion übernimmt Kunst in Krisenzeiten? Wann führt die Auseinandersetzung mit Krisen zur Resilienz, wann zur Revolte? Inwieweit bieten Krisen und Krisennarrationen einen Interventions-, Innovations- und Inspirationsraum? Auf diese Fragen schlägt dieser Band Antworten vor, ausgehend von der Beobachtung, dass zahlreiche ästhetisch durchgebildete Text- und Bildmedien der Gegenwart auf wirtschaftliche, politische und soziale Krisensituationen reagieren. Die hier versammelten Beiträge zeigen allerdings nicht nur in synchroner, sondern auch in diachroner Perspektive Momente individueller und sozialer Ausweglosigkeit, die als ein Entgleisen der kollektiven und ein Entgleiten der eigenen Geschichte wahrgenommen werden, nicht aber notwendigerweise in Resignation münden. Im Gegenteil: Der Band zielt darauf ab, unterschiedliche mediale Ausdrucksformen historischer und gegenwärtiger Krisenreaktionen innerhalb der Romania zu bestimmen und zueinander in Beziehung zu setzen, um das gegenwartsdiagnostische Potenzial dieser Krisennarrationen und die daraus erwachsende Lust zur Intervention zu artikulieren.
Acontecimientos históricos y su productividad cultural en el mundo hispánico
La producci'on cultural (literaria, cinematográfica, etc.) reacciona a menudo a acontecimientos hist'oricos como catástrofes naturales, accidentes, atentados terroristas, guerras, masacres, cr'imenes, revoluciones, golpes de estado, etc., y las sociedades contemporáneas organizan, piensan y explican su pasado en torno a tales sucesos que consideran como hitos importantes en la historia nacional o internacional. Este libro contiene 22 art'iculos sobre la productividad cultural que han tenido en los pa'ises hispanohablantes acontecimientos acaecidos en los 'ultimos 50 años.
The Spanish Inquisition
Thirty-five years ago, Kamen wrote a study of the Inquisition that received high praise. This present work, based on over 30 years of new research, is not simply a complete revision of the earlier book. Innovative in its presentation, point of view, information, and themes, it will revolutionize further study in the field.
The Expulsion of the Moriscos from Spain
The expulsion of the Moriscos from Spain (1609-1614) represents an important episode of ethnic, political and religious cleansing which affected about 300,000 persons. The controversial measure was legimitized by an ideology of religious and political unity that served to defend the expulsion of them all, crypto-Muslims and sincere converts to Christianity alike. The first part focuses on the decision to expel the Moriscos, its historical context and the role of such institutions as the Vatican and the religious orders, and nations such as France, Italy, the Dutch Republic, Morocco and the Ottoman Empire. The second part studies the aftermath of the expulsion, the forced migrations, settlement and Diaspora of the Moriscos, comparing their vicissitudes with that of the Jewish conversos. Contributors are Youssef El Alaoui, Rafael Benítez Sánchez Blanco, Luis Fernando Bernabé Pons, Paulo Broggio, Miguel Ángel de Bunes Ibarra, Antonio Feros, Mercedes García-Arenal, Jorge Gil Herrera,Tijana Krstić, Sakina Missoum, Natalia Muchnik, Stefania Pastore, Juan Ignacio Pulido Serrano, James B. Tueller, Olatz Villanueva Zubizarreta, Bernard Vincent, and Gerard Wiegers.
Isoprenoid Synthesis in Plants and Microorganisms
Isoprenoids are important in primary and secondary metabolism. They have implications in a myriad of physiological processes notably in plants, microorganisms and parasites, and biological activities at the cellular, organism, and ecosystem levels. The importance of isoprenoids in various areas of the scientific world has spurred intense research worldwide. Also their role in "nutraceuticals" has stimulated scientific curiosity. Literature on isoprenoids is widely scattered in journals with quite differing readerships and geographic distribution. A comprehensive book on isoprenoids does not exist. Isoprenoid Synthesis in Plants and Microorganisms: New Concepts and Experimental Approaches fills this gap by presenting the latest and the most applicable information on isoprenoids. The most recent TERPNET conference serves as the backdrop and provides much of the inspiration for the topics covered in the book. Additional topics of interest are covered as well, making Isoprenoid Synthesis in Plants and Microorganisms: New Concepts and Experimental Approaches the most comprehensive review of isoprenoid synthesis to date.
Progress in Ethical Practices of Businesses
The interaction between a company and its stakeholder environment explains a key part of corporate behavior. This is because the level of social acceptance that the company achieves affects consumer trust, employee commitment, and access to credit or support from suppliers. This book examines these relationships to discover the best way to align corporate behaviour with the interests, values and preferences of stakeholders. It features contributions on topics such as marketing, emerging technologies, women in entrepreneurship, sports and tourism.

Campus de la Diagonal
Aquest llibre presenta una reflexió acadèmica i professional al Campus de la Diagonal amb un ampli ventall d’idees urbanístiques que permeten establir un nou escenari universitari i millorar la relació amb la ciutat..Durant els anys seixanta i setanta del segle passat es varen realitzar diversos projectes d’edificis i recintes universitaris de gran interès (de Carlo, Candilis, Sert). També es varen publicar notables estudis sobre la relació entre la ciutat i la universitat..Feia, però, força anys que aquestes qüestions no semblaven ocupar l’agenda d’arquitectes, urbanistes i responsables universitaris. Per això sembla tan oportú l’esforç de recollir en aquestes poc més de dues-centes planes tot un seguit de riques reflexions i de projectes, tant aquells que responen a encàrrecs concrets de la UB i de la UPC, com aquells que han realitzat un conjunt d’estudiants per recosir i fer ciutat d’una munió d’edificis, sovint de caràcter abstret i poc permeable, tallats per una avinguda de grans dimensions i disposats sense cap visió de conjunt.
