La erupción del volcán Puyehue-Cordón Caulle en 2011 impactó en la Norpatagonia, afectando a la sociedad y su entorno natural.

PROSE Awards Subject Category Finalist, 2021—Biological Anthropology, Ancient History, and Archaeology Analyzing a wide variety of late-nineteenth-century sources, Sex, Skulls, and Citizens argues that Argentine scientific projects of the era were not just racial encounters, but were also conditioned by sexual relationships in all their messy, physical reality. The writers studied here (an eclectic group of scientists, anthropologists, and novelists, including Estanislao Zeballos, Lucio and Eduarda Mansilla, Ramón Lista, and Florence Dixie) reflect on Indigenous sexual practices, analyze the advisability and effects of interracial sex, and use the language of desire to narrate encounters with Indigenous peoples as they try to scientifically pinpoint Argentina's racial identity and future potential. Kerr's reach extends into history of science, literary studies, and history of anthropology, illuminating a scholarly time and place in which the lines betwixt were much blurrier, if they existed at all.

Che cos'è un poeta - si chiedeva Baudelaire - se non un traducteur e un déchiffreur? E attentissimo interprete e vero e proprio "decodificatore" del congegno teatrale è stato Giovanni Raboni nel suo pluridecennale rapporto con l'arte drammatica: come autore, traduttore, storico e critico. Lo testimonia questo volume, nel quale pièces e traduzioni drammaturgiche sono affiancate da note di scena, autocommenti e apparati esplicativi che danno conto di un'esperienza a tutto tondo. Sempre domina in Raboni la preoccupazione di rendere il testo pienamente fruibile nello spazio scenico, nel segno di una continuità che va dal teatro greco classico a quello d'avanguardia del Novecento, passando p...
