The Liminal Horse

The historical horse is at once material and abstract, as is the notion of the border. Borders and frontiers are not only markers delineating geographical spaces but also mental constructs: there are borders between order and disorder, between what is permitted and what is prohibited. Boundaries and liminal spaces also exist in the material, economic, political, moral, legal and religious spheres. In this volume, the contributing authors explore the theme of the liminality of the horse in all of these historical arenas, asking how does one reconcile the very different roles played by the horse in human history?

V Congreso Ibérico de Egiptología

Esta obra recoge las aportaciones de especialistas en Egiptología, las últimas investigaciones realizadas en las misiones arqueológicas que se están realizando en Egipto del mundo Ibérico (España, Portugal, Argentina, Brasil), al tiempo que presenta al lector las principales líneas de investigación que se están desarrollando en la actualidad. A lo largo de las contribuciones puede comprobarse la calidad científica que la egiptología ha adquirido en las últimas décadas en el ámbito ibérico, una disciplina que aún no tiene una especialidad reconocida, como sucede en otros países europeos donde la tradición e investigación se remontan a comienzos del siglo XIX. La historia, la religión, la arqueología, el arte o la economía y sociedad Faraónicas, son analizadas en esta obra en la que el lector podrá encontrar también un amplio material gráfico y bibliográfico, acercándole todo ello a un mejor conocimiento de la cultura Faraónica.

Historical Dictionary of the Dirty Wars

This second edition of Historical Dictionary of 'The Dirty Wars' focuses on the period 1954-1990 in South America, when authoritarian regimes waged war on subversion, both real and imagined. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 400 cross-referenced dictionary entries on the countries; guerrilla and political movements; prominent guerrilla, human-rights, military, and political figures; local, regional, and international human-rights organizations; and artistic figures (filmmakers, novelists, and playwrights) whose works attempt to represent or resist the period of repression.
