Art and Dance in Dialogue
This interdisciplinary book brings together essays that consider how the body enacts social and cultural rituals in relation to objects, spaces, and the everyday, and how these are questioned, explored, and problematised through, and translated into dance, art, and performance. The chapters are written by significant artists and scholars and consider practices from various locations, including Central and Western Europe, Mexico, and the United States. The authors build on dialogues between, for example, philosophy and museum studies, and memory studies and post-humanism, and engage with a wide range of theory from phenomenology to relational aesthetics to New Materialism. Thus this book represents a unique collection that together considers the continuum between everyday and cultural life, and how rituals and memories are inscribed onto our being. It will be of interest to scholars and practitioners, students and teachers, and particularly those who are curious about the intersections between arts disciplines.
Antología de fanfics 2020
Una antología es un mapa, dibuja una cartografía literaria con base en un criterio dado. Y si bien hoy día podríamos crear una herramienta informática que compendie miles de textos en decenas de combinaciones en un segundo, no es posible emular el camino que nos llevó a relacionarnos y coordinarnos con dieciocho autoras y autores de siete países distintos para lograr esta Antología de Fanfics 2020 en español. Este libro compendia fanfics de diferentes fandoms y géneros, divididos en historias autoconclusivas (one-shots) e historias por capítulos (de los cuales sólo publicamos unos cuantos). El libro es un estudio y un taller en cuyo espacio la obra nunca termina de acabarse, pues...
Telematics and Computing
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 9th International Congress on Telematics and Computing, WITCOM 2020, held in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, in November 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held online. The 28 full papers and 3 short papers in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 79 submissions. The papers are focused on the topics of deep and machine learning, cybersecurity, wireless networks, computer vision, communications, and education applied to different sceneries of study and COVID-19.
Insights into Sustainable Management of Water and Wetlands in the Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve, Mexico
This book aims to create a stronger connection regarding water and wetlands between human society and nature in the Sierra Gorda and between the Sierra Gorda and the world. Many other localities, particularly arid high-altitude areas worldwide, face similar water and wetland management issues. How can the experiences from the Sierra Gorda contribute to solve similar dilemmas in different regions?
Risks, Violence, Security and Peace in Latin America
This book analyses the war against drugs, violence in streets, schools and families, and mining conflicts in Latin America. It examines the nonviolent negotiations, human rights, peacebuilding and education, explores security in cyberspace and proposes to overcome xenophobia, white supremacy, sexism, and homophobia, where social inequality increases injustice and violence. During the past 40 years of the Latin American Council for Peace Research (CLAIP) regional conditions have worsened. Environmental justice was crucial in the recent peace process in Colombia, but also in other countries, where indigenous people are losing their livelihood and identity. Since the end of the cold war, capitalism aggravated the life conditions of poor people. The neoliberal dismantling of the State reduced their rights and wellbeing in favour of enterprises. Youth are not only the most exposed to violence, but represent also the future for a different management of human relations and nature.
XLV Mexican Conference on Biomedical Engineering
This book reports on fundamental research, cutting-edge technologies and industrially-relevant applications in biomedical engineering. It covers methods for analysis, modeling and simulation of biological systems, reporting on the development and design of advanced biosensors, nanoparticles and wearable devices. It covers applications in disease monitoring and therapy, tissue engineering, sport and rehabilitation, and telehealth. It also reports on engineering methods for improving and monitoring medical service, and on advanced robotic applications. Gathering the proceedings of the XLV Congreso Nacional de Ingeniería Biomédica (CNIB2022), organised by the Mexican Society of Biomedical Engineering, this book offers a timely snapshot on technologies and methods in bioengineering, and on challenges related to their practical implementation in the health sector.
Patán, hazme un hijo
En este libro recopilamos tres obras de Enrique Olmos de Ita, pero ¿qué tienen en común? Tratan de problemas sociales con una buena mezcla de desparpajo y comicidad para tratar temáticas serias. En "Hazme un hijo" el dramaturgo se vale de la experimentación para recrear un falso documental que inspecciona con lupa el embarazo adolescente, a la vez que dibuja, escucha y mira a sus protagonistas desde sus propios espejos. "Patán", mejor dramaturgia de la Muestra Estatal de Teatro de Jalisco 2015, es el monólogo de un perro "bien" que, tras comparar sus privilegios de clase, confronta sus ideas y su lugar en el mundo. La tercera obra, "El sur viaja en tren", pone sobre la mesa el papel de los niños en relación con el paso de migrantes centroamericanos por la colonia Ferrocarril. Las obras que componen este volumen son provocativas, hacen sentir al lector y repensar el teatro.

Love and Despair
Love and Despair explores the multiple and mostly unknown ways progressive and conservative Catholic actors, such as priests, lay activists, journalists, intellectuals, and filmmakers, responded to the significant social and cultural shifts that formed competing notions of modernity in Cold War Mexico. Jaime M. Pensado demonstrates how the Catholic Church as a heterogeneous institution—with key transnational networks in Latin America and Western Europe—was invested in youth activism, state repression, and the counterculture from the postwar period to the more radical Sixties. Similar to their secular counterparts, progressive Catholics often saw themselves as revolutionary actors and nearly always framed their activism as an act of love. When their movements were repressed and their ideas were co-opted, marginalized, and commercialized at the end of the Sixties, the liberating hope of love often turned into a sense of despair.
Victim Activists in Mexico
Victim Activists in Mexico: Social and Political Mobilization amid Extreme Violence and Disappearances examines the collective action of the courageous family members of the disappeared in the midst of Mexico’s ongoing humanitarian crisis over the last decades. Yael Siman and Matthew Hone analyze this grassroots mobilization and argue that the activists have created rutinary, contentious, and innovative types of resistance through building local and trans-local links of support and solidarity that reinforce their struggle. This mobilization from below has contributed to constructing transitional justice including laws, public apologies, and memorials. The combination of internal and external factors impacting the collectives and their environment has enabled significant changes in the institutions, state responses, and the victimhood narratives in the country. This book adds to the scholarship on the collective action of grieving families by focusing on both the social and political aspects of mobilization.
