Warrior Women and Trans Warriors
Latin American literature has depicted warrior woman and trans warrior characters in armed conflicts, but literary critics have not paid much attention to their empowerment. They also have critiqued these characters using traditional gender binary concepts or have viewed their access to power as evil or abnormal. Warrior Women and Trans Warriors: Performing Masculinities in Twentieth-Century Latin American Literature introduces a new perspective by analyzing how one trans warrior and two warrior women from three canonical novels contest traditional codes of behavior and appearance. It examines Pintada in the Mexican novel Los de abajo (1915); doña Bárbara in the Venezuelan novel Doña Bár...

Palestina
Coeditado con Acsur las Segovias. Palestina, el muro y el derecho internacional han confluido muchas veces en los debates sobre política internacional de los últimos meses en torno a la situación del Oriente Medio, especialmente en Palestina y en Iraq.

Entre ambas posiciones se encuentra el documento de la Oficina de Asuntos Humanitarios de las Naciones Unidas sobre el muro y su impacto, en el que claramente se recogen los argume...
