Tango siglo XXI
Este libro consagrado a las relaciones entre el tango, la subjetividad y la sociedad aborda particularmente el análisis entre la singularidad artística del género como síntesis sociocultural prefiguradora de relaciones sociales y políticas. Parte de la presuposición de que el tango no solamente posee una historia sino también una historia espectacularizada que se manifestó mediante símbolos e imágenes que enmarcaron aspectos relevantes de la vida cotidiana y la cultura política nacional. Durante las últimas décadas tuvo lugar un resurgimiento del tango, fundamentalmente por medio del baile que se constituyó en un lugar de encuentro y de expresión cultural de relaciones sociale...
Cirujas, cartoneros y empresarios
Este libro tiene como propósito estudiar las relaciones sociales que organizan ese conjunto de personas dedicadas a la recolección y clasificación de productos reciclables en la ciudad de Buenos Aires, los llamados"cartoneros". Esta población comienza a ser mayormente visibilizada entre los años previos y posteriores a la crisis del 2001. No bien se masifica el fenómeno cartonero, un conjunto de investigadores destacó la novedad del "sujeto". En contraposición a los "viejos" cirujas, los "nuevos" cartoneros tendrían características específicas y disímiles. Sin embargo, la novedad se encuentra en las transformaciones que la clase obrera ha sufrido en los últimos cuarenta años, l...
Computability and Complexity
Computability and complexity theory should be of central concern to practitioners as well as theorists. Unfortunately, however, the field is known for its impenetrability. Neil Jones's goal as an educator and author is to build a bridge between computability and complexity theory and other areas of computer science, especially programming. In a shift away from the Turing machine- and G�del number-oriented classical approaches, Jones uses concepts familiar from programming languages to make computability and complexity more accessible to computer scientists and more applicable to practical programming problems. According to Jones, the fields of computability and complexity theory, as well a...
The Films of John Carpenter
The films of John Carpenter cover a tremendous range and yet all bear his clear personal stamp. From the horrifying (Halloween) to the touching (Starman) to the controversial (The Thing) to the comic (Big Trouble in Little China), his films reflect a unique approach to filmmaking and singular views of humanity and American culture. This analysis of Carpenter's films includes a historical overview of his career, and in-depth entries on each of his films, from 1975's Dark Star to 1998's Vampires. Complete cast and production information is provided for each. The book also covers those films written and produced by Carpenter, such as Halloween II and Black Moon Rising, as well as Carpenter's work for television. Appendices are included on films Carpenter was offered but turned down, the slasher films that followed in the wake of the highly-successful Halloween, the actors and characters who make repeated appearances in Carpenter's films, and ratings for Carpenter's work. Notes, bibliography, and index are included.
Critical Junctures and Historical Legacies
Over the past 50 years, scholars across the social sciences have employed critical juncture analysis to understand how social orders are created, become entrenched, and change. In this book, leading scholars from several disciplines offer the first coordinated effort to define this field of research, assess its theoretical and methodological foundations, and use a critical assessment of current practices as a basis for guiding its future. Contributors include stars in this field who have written some of the classic works on critical junctures, as well as the rising stars of the next generation who will continue to shape historical comparative analysis for years to come. Critical Junctures and Historical Legacies will be an indispensable resource for social science research methods scholars and students.
