Tremendas de puerto a cordillera
Un necesario espacio para conversar con mujeres líderes de las más diversas áreas, pero que además fueran de la V Región. Así partió —en un ya lejano 2016— Región F, proyecto que dio origen al libro que ahora tienes en tus manos. La premisa era muy clara a nuestros ojos: aquellas que se habían destacado en sus respectivas disciplinas, las que habían marcado la diferencia, las que se habían hecho notar, merecían ser visibilizadas. Ellas habían superado un doble obstáculo: Primero, lo habían logrado en un país donde solo dos de cada ocho posiciones de poder son ocupadas por mujeres en los ámbitos político, simbólico y social; cifra que se reduce solo a una representante si se analiza la esfera económica (PNUD, 2020). Y segundo, en una nación caracterizada por un desmesurado centralismo, en esta larga y angosta franja de tierra donde Santiago es Chile y se estandariza todo, desestimando la diversidad que nos compone.

World of Our Making
World of our Making is a major contribution to contemporary social science. Now reissued in this volume, Onuf’s seminal text is key reading for anyone who wishes to study modern international relations. Onuf understands all of international relations to be a matter of rules and rule in foreign behaviour. The author draws together the rules of international relations, explains their source, and elaborates on their implications through a vast array of interdisciplinary thinkers such as Kenneth Arrow, J.L. Austin, Max Black, Michael Foucault, Anthony Giddens, Jurgen Habermas, Lawrence Kohlberg, Harold Lasswell, Talcott Parsons, Jean Piaget, J.G.A. Pocock, John Roemer, John Scarle and Sheldon Wolin.
A Fighting Chance
Seventeen-year-old Miguel Angel spends every minute after school at the Packing Shed, working out with the Alisal Boxing Club. He dreams of becoming a champion so he can get his mother and five siblings out of their cramped one-bedroom apartment in one of Salinas’ poorest barrios. But suddenly his life gets more complicated. The city is threatening to take the Packing Shed away from Coach, and without a place to train he won’t be able to avoid the gangbangers in his neighborhood. His childhood friend, Beto, has succumbed to the wiles of easy money and expensive cars, and Miguel Angel wonders if he’ll be able to resist his friend. Meanwhile, beautiful blonde Britney from Pebble Beach ha...
Canto a Su Amor Desaparecido
Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Spanish by Daniel Borzutzky. "I sang the song of the old concrete sheds. It was filled with hundreds of niches, one over the other. There is a country in each one; they're like boys, they're dead." In this landmark poem, written at the height of the Pinochet dictatorship, major Chilean poet Raul Zurita protests with ferocious invention the extinguishment of a generation and the brutalization of a nation. Of the role of poetry and of his own treatment by the military under this regime, Zurita has said, "You see, the only thing that told me that I wasn't crazy, that I wasn't living in a nightmare, was this file of poems, and then when they threw them into the sea, then I understood exactly what was happening." This elegy refuses to be an elegy, refuses to let the Disappeared disappear.
Chintungo
Poetry. Translated by K.T. Billey. CHINTUNGO: LA HISTORIA DE ALGUIEN M�S is a paradox from the outset. Over layers of history and story, "Alguien m�s" translates both to "someone more" and "someone else"--CHINTUNGO is the story of a boy turned man turned father, refracted through the poems of his daughter. Soledad Marambio's second book of poetry examines the facts, photos, and unknowable gaps in memory and history, tracing one family's movement from the coast of Chile to Pinochet's Santiago. Social and political change fold into mule- drawn trains and honeymoons in Europe, barefoot boys and VHS novelties. Marambio uses her father's photographs as occasions to investigate the act of record-making and the evidence itself, knowing all the while that what is not seen is at least as vital as the images we're left with. Hints and scenes are circled with careful resolve, resulting in a timeline both intimate and collective, sensitive to the switches that make the lights turn on, the screen get fuzzy, and the heart beat.
Arthur Rimbaud
"This is the fullest and fairest of the half-dozen books on Rimbaud in English. No single volume so complete exists even in French."--Roger Shattuck (The New York Times)
