Teatro latinoamericano.
Con la intención de indagar sobre las potencialidades poéticas de los objetos en escena, la autora —doctora en Artes Escénicas por la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona y directora de Microscopía Teatro, grupo de escena con objetos— enfoca su investigación en cómo la vitalidad objetual impacta en ciertos procesos escénicos que trabajan con objetos. Una investigación única sobre este ámbito en el contexto iberoamericano.
En los últimos años se ha producido un creciente fenómeno de integración entre las artes y las universidades, ya sea mediantela creación de carreras artísticas de grado y/o posgrado, o de instituciones universitarias completamente dedicadas a la enseñanza de las mismas. Sin duda, este fenómeno modificó sustancialmente la formación para las artes, al implantar o intensificar la dimensión teórica presente en su currícula. Pero, ¿en qué medida la introducción de las artes en las universidades modificó las formas tradicionales de producción del conocimiento? Los trabajos reunidos en este libro se proponen reflexionar sobre las modificaciones que el arte produce o puede producir en los modelos epistémicos, pedagógicos y organizacionales mediante los cuales las universidades entienden la producción y la transmisión del conocimiento.
From a young Palestinian writer comes this compelling look at the Israel/Palestine conflict, from both the perspective of an Israeli soldier in 1949 as well as that of a young Palestinian woman.
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.
