Homoerotismos en el cuento mexicano
Los estudiosos del cuento han afirmado continuamente que éste es un género prolífico en la literatura mexicana, el cual ha rendido cuentas de las diversas transformaciones estéticas, políticas y culturales que ha tenido el país. En este sentido, las variadas representaciones del homoerotismo no están exentas de circular en abundancia por las páginas de los incontables relatos que abordan este tópico: desde las apariciones furtivas de un travesti en el siglo XIX hasta las manifestaciones de personajes queer que desestabilizan los estereotipos de género en el siglo XXI. El presente volumen ofrece entonces un recorrido por los homoerotismos masculinas que han aparecido en el cuento me...
El personaje gay
El personaje gay ha aparecido en el cuento mexicano de la segunda mitad del siglo xx con mucho vigor: desde una tímida representación homoerótica hasta una afirmación contundente de la disidencia sexual. En consecuencia, este género literario ha sido un depósito muy ferviente de los numerosos cambios acaecidos en el país en cuanto al tema que la sexualidad refiere y, por sus mismos componentes estructurales, ha gozado de un buen impacto entre los lectores para desviar la mirada hacia un mundo que, durante mucho tiempo, permaneció soterrado. El presente volumen realiza precisamente un estudio sobre la imagen del personaje gay en seis cuentos que ilustran con acierto la manera en la qu...
World Development Report 1978
This first report deals with some of the major development issues confronting the developing countries and explores the relationship of the major trends in the international economy to them. It is designed to help clarify some of the linkages between the international economy and domestic strategies in the developing countries against the background of growing interdependence and increasing complexity in the world economy. It assesses the prospects for progress in accelerating growth and alleviating poverty, and identifies some of the major policy issues which will affect these prospects.
Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
Spain, a Global History
From the late fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries, the Hispanic Monarchy was one of the largest and most diverse political communities known in history. At its apogee, it stretched from the Castilian plateau to the high peaks of the Andes; from the cosmopolitan cities of Seville, Naples, or Mexico City to Santa Fe and San Francisco; from Brussels to Buenos Aires and from Milan to Manila. During those centuries, Spain left its imprint across vast continents and distant oceans contributing in no minor way to the emergence of our globalised era. This was true not only in an economic sense-the Hispano-American silver peso transported across the Atlantic and the Pacific by the Spanish fleets wa...

A Century of Debt Crises in Latin America
Carlos Marichal contends that the boom-and-bust cycles of Latin American foreign loans result mainly from the fluctuations of the world economy, rather than from errors made in Latin America itself. Marichal shows that the present debt crisis is only a part of an overall pattern in Latin American history--cycles of loan boom and subsequent debt crisis that are heavily influenced by fluctuations of international trade and capital flows. He also reveals the significant role played by those who implement debt policies. Examining the strategies of both lenders and borrowers, he makes it clear that foreign loan negotiations are not only financial tools but also political instruments with broad ec...
