Este libro, La mirada y la experiencia artística. Apuntes para una Teoría del arte, bien podría ser un texto de referencia esencial para profesores y estudiantes de todas aquellas asignaturas de Humanidades que tratan el asunto del arte y de la belleza: Historia del Arte, Filosofía, Diseño, Bellas Artes, Humanidades… También es un libro válido de consulta para los ya iniciados en esta materia, pues realiza un recorrido ordenado y cronológico por los autores más importantes que se han ocupado de hablar del arte y la belleza, fundamentalmente en los siglos XIX y XX.

Bergson reflexiona sobre las numerosas facultades que concentra el cerebro del ser humano para satisfacer las necesidades vitales. Se presenta el escrito “Cómo prepararse serenamente a la muerte…” y se reflexiona sobre algunos otros temas, en particular, sobre El nombre de la rosa. El arte conceptual responde a la visión teleológica de Hegel descrita en su teoría del arte como un momento de autopercepción del espíritu desde la propia reflexión estética. A lo largo de un recorrido histórico por la filosofía, el autor expone los vínculos entre la obra artística y la ética. Desde la poesía homérica hasta el arte conceptual se ha expuesto al ser humano a algo conocido como experiencia estética: el efecto que tiene la pieza artística sobre el espectador, la fuerza que no lo deja permanecer idéntico a su yo previo. El artículo forma parte del proyecto de investigación “El Campo de los Defensores y las Defensoras de Derechos Humanos en México”.

This book is a comprehensive overview of multiple nationality in international law, and contains a survey of current State practice covering over 75 countries. It examines the topic in light of the historical treatment of multiple nationality by States, international bodies and commentators, setting out the general trends in international law and relations that have influenced nationality. While the book's purpose is not to debate the merits of multiple nationality, but to present actual state practice, it does survey arguments for and against multiple nationality, and considers States' motivations in adopting a particular attitude toward the topic. As a reference work, the volume includes a detailed examination of the nature of nationality under international law and the concepts of nationality and citizenship under municipal law. The survey of State practice also constitutes a valuable resource for practitioners.

The World Justice Project (WJP) joins efforts to produce reliable data on rule of law through the WJP Rule of Law Index 2016, the sixth report in an annual series, which measures rule of law based on the experiences and perceptions of the general public and in-country experts worldwide. We hope this annual publication, anchored in actual experiences, will help identify strengths and weaknesses in each country under review and encourage policy choices that strengthen the rule of law. The WJP Rule of Law Index 2016 presents a portrait of the rule of law in each country by providing scores and rankings organized around eights factors: constraints on government powers, absence of corruption, ope...
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
In The Archive and the Repertoire preeminent performance studies scholar Diana Taylor provides a new understanding of the vital role of performance in the Americas. From plays to official events to grassroots protests, performance, she argues, must be taken seriously as a means of storing and transmitting knowledge. Taylor reveals how the repertoire of embodied memory—conveyed in gestures, the spoken word, movement, dance, song, and other performances—offers alternative perspectives to those derived from the written archive and is particularly useful to a reconsideration of historical processes of transnational contact. The Archive and the Repertoire invites a remapping of the Americas b...
