El olvidado imperio de Natdzhadarayama
En un territorio distante sucede un evento que convulsionará los cimientos de una sociedad. El Imperio Natdzhadarayama es gobernado por la familia Natdzhadarayamamita, promotora de actos tumultuosos y de festejos, para generar polÃticas pragmáticas dinámicas y evitar la acumulación originaria. Los territorios imperiales se extienden desde la cordillera Lee Wu Hong hasta la ciudad de MineÃ. A mitad de un viaje diplomático, la emperatriz se detiene en un poblado donde habrá un festejo. Frente al escarnio de un indefenso tigre, ella interrumpe la celebración abruptamente, desencadenando el inicio del fin imperial. En esta ceremonia participarÃa un carnicero, que se ve envuelto en una ...

Advenimiento de la espera
"Un sentir decadente que reflexiona sobre la vida contemporánea. Versos que denotan cÃrculos viciosos de la existencia humana como la conocemos en nuestro siglo. Una voz que cuestiona el sentido del trabajo, de la diversión, de la forma en que crecemos, de la integridad de nuestro interior en un tiempo sin memorias, con escasos recuerdos. Un deseo de unir nuestra parte rota. Un poemario a la esperanza de hermanar las distintas etapas de nuestras vidas. Advenimiento de la Esperanza es poesÃa crÃtica ante el idilio citadino con un toque de inquietud, ansiedad y búsqueda, porque, ¿quién no se ha cuestionado el sentido de su propia existencia o la de otros?"

A World History of Nineteenth-Century Archaeology
Margarita Diaz-Andreu offers an innovative history of archaeology during the nineteenth century, encompassing all its fields from the origins of humanity to the medieval period, and all areas of the world. The development of archaeology is placed within the framework of contemporary political events, with a particular focus upon the ideologies of nationalism and imperialism. Diaz-Andreu examines a wide range of issues, including the creation of institutions, the conversion of thestudy of antiquities into a profession, public memory, changes in archaeological thought and practice, and the effect on archaeology of racism, religion, the belief in progress, hegemony, and resistance.
Theatre of the Real
This book proposes a new way to consider theatre and performance that claims a special relationship to reality, truth and authenticity. It documents innovations in devising and staging theatre and performance that takes reality as its subject, cultural shifts that have generated theatre of the real, some of its problems and some possibilities.
Verbatim, Verbatim
Five specially commissioned discussions of verbatim theatre - in the words of the people who make it. 'What a verbatim play does is flash your research nakedly. It’s like cooking a meal but the meat is left raw.’ - Max Stafford-Clark Plays which use people’s actual words as the basis for their dramaare not a new phenomenon. But from the stages of national theatres to fringe venues and universities everywhere, ‘verbatim’ theatre, as it has come to be known, is currently enjoying unprecedented attention and success. It has also attracted high-profile criticism and impassioned debate. In these wide-ranging essays and interviews, six leading dramatists describe their varying approaches to verbatim, examine the strengths and weaknesses of its techniques and explore the reasons for its current popularity. They discuss frankly the unique opportunities and ethical dilemmas that arise when portraying real people on stage, and consider some of the criticisms levelled at this controversial documentary form. 'The intention is always to arrive at the truth.' - Nicolas Kent
A People's History of Science
We all know the history of science that we learned from grade school textbooks: How Galileo used his telescope to show that the earth was not the center of the universe; how Newton divined gravity from the falling apple; how Einstein unlocked the mysteries of time and space with a simple equation. This history is made up of long periods of ignorance and confusion, punctuated once an age by a brilliant thinker who puts it all together. These few tower over the ordinary mass of people, and in the traditional account, it is to them that we owe science in its entirety. This belief is wrong. A People's History of Science shows how ordinary people participate in creating science and have done so throughout history. It documents how the development of science has affected ordinary people, and how ordinary people perceived that development. It would be wrong to claim that the formulation of quantum theory or the structure of DNA can be credited directly to artisans or peasants, but if modern science is likened to a skyscraper, then those twentieth-century triumphs are the sophisticated filigrees at its pinnacle that are supported by the massive foundation created by the rest of us.
