Almería y el Mediterráneo entre la tierra y el mar
La tierra y la mar constituyen el sustento productivo en las sociedades preindustriales, y ambas nutren al tercer pilar de las economías, el tráfico de mercancías. En el caso de las comunidades marítimas antiguas son numerosas las manifestaciones culturales, ideológicas y sociales que expresan su estrecha vinculación con el medio marino. Puede ser interesante, con objeto de explorar otros enfoques para el análisis, considerar la existencia de paisajes culturales ya en otras épocas. Y la existencia de paisajes culturales, fundamentados en el mar, cuya génesis se vincule a la historia de las comunidades litorales. La obra que introducimos aborda desde muy diversas perspectivas element...
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Processes of Cultural Change and Integration in the Roman World
Processes of Cultural Change and Integration in the Roman World is a collection of studies on the interaction between Rome and the peoples that became part of its Empire between c. 300 BC and AD 300. The book focuses on the mechanisms by which interaction between Rome and its subjects occurred, e.g. the settlements of colonies by the Romans, army service, economic and cultural interaction. In many cases Rome exploited the economic resources of the conquered territories without allowing the local inhabitants any legal autonomy. However, they usually maintained a great deal of cultural freedom of expression. Those local inhabitants who chose to engage with Rome, its economy and culture, could rise to great heights in the administration of the Empire.

Ishida
The work of Japanese artist Tetsuya Ishida (Yaizu, Shizuoka, 1973? Tokyo, 2005) gives the experience of the contemporary subject a face as it explores the uncertainty and desolation of Japanese society, drastically altered by the technological advances and successive crises that have affected economies and politics the world over. More specifically, Ishida portrays, with descriptive precision, the mood of his generation, defined by the bursting bubble of finance and real estate and the mass lay-offs that plunged the country into a deep recession in 1991.00Exhibition: Museo Nacional Reina Sofia, Madrid, Spain (12.04.-08.09.2019).
Henrik Olesen
The artistic practice of Henrik Olesen (1967, Esbjerg, Denmark) explores, with a conceptually rigorous approach, the structures of power relations and systems of knowledge, revealing some of their inherent logics, those which contribute to social and political regularisation. Olesen employs cheap, everyday materials to make collages, posters, texts, sculptures, installations and architectural interventions which critically examine contemporary culture and socially disseminated normalisations, thereby questioning quotidian conventions in family structures, the construction of identities and their historiography, the media, legal discourses, art history, and other sources. --Museum website.
