Paraguay en la historia, la literatura y la memoria
Las II Jornadas Internacionales de Historia del Paraguay, realizadas en la Universidad de Montevideo (Uruguay) entre el 14 y el 18 de junio de 2010, contaron con la participación de treinta y dos académicos provenientes de casi una docena de países repartidos en tres continentes. Además de historiadores, asistieron críticos literarios, bibliógrafos, especialistas en información, y lingüistas, con lo que se mantuvo el espíritu multidisciplinario que caracterizara a las I Jornadas realizadas en 2008. En esta ocasión, el trabajo académico estuvo articulado en torno a seis ejes temáticos y cronológicos: el proceso de tránsito de la época colonial a la independiente; la Guerra de la Triple Alianza; la diplomacia extranjera en Paraguay; la Guerra del Chaco; sociedad y política paraguayas; literatura, ideología y memoria; e historiografía paraguaya y sobre Paraguay. El presente volumen incluye aquellas ponencias presentadas para publicación por sus autores y seleccionadas por el comité editorial integrado por Jan Kleinpenning, Barbara Potthast, Luc Capdevila, Thomas Whigham y Juan Manuel Casal.

Death Is a Festival
This award-winning social history of death and funeral rites during the early decades of Brazil's independence from Portugal focuses on the Cemiterada movement in Salvador, capital of the province of Bahia. The book opens with a lively account of the popular riot that ensued when, in 1836, the government condemned the traditional burial of bodies inside Catholic church buildings and granted a private company a monopoly over burials. This episode is used by Reis to examine the customs of death and burial in Bahian society, explore the economic and religious conflicts behind the move for funerary reforms and the maintenance of traditional rituals of dying, and understand how people dealt with new concerns sparked by modernization and science. Viewing culture within its social context, he illuminates the commonalities and differences that shaped death and its rituals for rich and poor, men and women, slaves and masters, adults and children, foreigners and Brazilians. This translation makes the book, originally published in Brazil in 1993, available in English for the first time.
