Post-Conflict Literature
This book brings together a variety of perspectives to explore the role of literature in the aftermath of political conflict, studying the ways in which writers approach violent conflict and the equally important subject of peace. Essays put insights from Peace and Conflict Studies into dialog with the unique ways in which literature attempts to understand the past, and to reimagine both the present and the future, exploring concepts like truth and reconciliation, post-traumatic memory, historical reckoning, therapeutic storytelling, transitional justice, archival memory, and questions about victimhood and reparation. Drawing on a range of literary texts and addressing a variety of post-conf...
Discourses from Latin America and the Caribbean
This edited collection brings together the latest research on discourse and society in Latin America and Caribbean in one volume. Employing cross-cutting approaches to current political, institutional and media discourses, it bridges existing theoretical and analytical gaps between the socio-political macro issues and the micro aspects of linguistic analysis to provide fresh insights that deconstruct the complex socio-political power dynamics in Latin America and the Caribbean. Across eight chapters this volume explores the regions’ thorny relationship with their complex histories of colonialism and slavery as well as the ongoing, multifaceted constructions of hegemonic and counter-hegemonic identities at the individual, regional and national levels. In doing so, it demonstrates the unique and rich particularities of these regions and why it is that they challenge many conventional dogmas and methods across the Social Sciences. This book will be of particular interest to scholars working in Discourse Studies, Sociology, Politics, Anthropology and Latin American and Caribbean Studies.
Espacios públicos polivalentes para el mejoramiento urbano
Por su carácter masivo y ciertas morfologías indefinidas o sin clara personalidad, nuestras ciudades de hoy seconvierten, en algunos casos, en magmas urbanos cuyas semejanzas o en sus diversidades necesitan ser estudiadas para ser apreciadas o, en su defecto, mejoradas.Dentro de la diversidad de poblamientos que van desde la ciudad antigua (a menudo convertida en Centro Histórico) a las ciudades perdidas, pasando por los conjuntos habitacionales y los fraccionamientos residenciales, existe un elemento susceptible de cohesionar la ciudad. Nos referimos al espacio público, también diverso según el tipo de poblamiento de que se trate, pues en urbes como México, vemos ciudades dentro de la ciudad.Esta división social del espacio urbano, traducida en ciudades dentro de la ciudad, plantea enormes desafíos para el futuro, sobre todo, para las grandes aglomeraciones, ya sea en conjunto o en sus especificidades territoriales.Con esta obra se busca abrir las vías de análisis a disciplinas diversas que converjan en el tema del espacio público, como escenario o como protagonista del futuro de la ciudad.

New Approaches for the Discovery of Pharmacologically-Active Natural Compounds
A major source of active compounds, natural products from different sources supply a large variety of molecules that have been approved for clinical use or used as the starting points of optimization programs. This book features nine papers (eight full articles and one review paper) written by more than 45 scientists from around the world. These papers illustrate the development and application of a broad range of computational and experimental techniques applied to natural product research. On behalf of the contributors to the book, our hope is that the research presented here contributes to advancements in the field, and encourages multidisciplinary teams, young scientists, and students to further advance in the discovery of pharmacologically-active natural compounds
Field Epidemiology

Discursive Remembering
This book aims at building a bridge between the social and political aspects of remembering and the cognitive and discourse processes driving such activities. By analyzing these cognitive and discursive processes, Bietti explores practices of individual and collective remembering in institutional and private settings in relation to periods of political violence in Argentina. This books begins to fill the conceptual gap between cognitive oriented approaches to remembering that draw conclusions about how memory functions in the mind without a detailed discourse analysis of the communicative interaction in which this process unfolds, and the discourse and pragmatic oriented approaches that are ...
