Biocapitalismo, cuerpo y mujeres
Este libro expone y analiza los avances de las biotecnologías que han permitido la extensión del capitalismo hacia nuevos espacios de producción y consumo, en específico, la mercantilización del cuerpo humano: desde la participación en ensayos clínicos para el desarrollo de medicamentos y vacunas hasta las tecnologías de reproducción asistida. Valiéndose de diferentes teorías como el Nuevo Materialismo Feminista y la ontopolítica, el texto cuestiona la manera en la que este nuevo régimen de apropiación de los cuerpos reconfigura la realidad de las mujeres en sus diversidades (trans, cis, endosexuales, intersexuales, heterosexuales, lesbianas y bisexuales) puesto que son parte de las estructuras económicas y sociales que influyen en la manera en que se vive el cuerpo tanto a nivel individual como colectivo.
Weaving Tales
This collection of essays brings together a wide range of Spanish and Portuguese academics and writers exploring the ways in which our encounters with literatures in English inform our assumptions about texts and identities (or texts as identities) and the way we read them. Mapping, examining, reading and re-reading, fashioning and self-fashioning and, especially, weaving appear as appropriate images that convey the complexity and the nature of creative writing. Such a metaphor has been fundamental for the history of world literature since the Roman poet Ovid had included a tale in his Metamorphoses in which weaving, narration, uncertain identities, and the risks of telling uncomfortable truths all figure prominently. As such, these essays trace the intertwined patterns that knit texts together, weaving identities as well as undoing them and, in the process, interrogating established and official truths.
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.
Mitos y realidades en salud-enfermedad
Algunos problemas de salud no son causados por bacterias o microbios, sino por actitudes, costumbres o hábitos fundamentados en mitos, es decir, en ideas y creencias culturales que no tienen un sustento científico. En el presente trabajo existe un interés primordial por explorar y describir el papel especulativo que ciertos mitos desempeñan en relación con algunos problemas de la sociedad, y las incompatibilidades entre cultura y naturaleza. Ciertos mitos relacionados con aspectos de salud-enfermedad, salud emocional y condiciones de la vida común son el resultado de la desinformación y el desconocimiento que la falta de oportunidades educativas e informativas genera. Pero muchos mitos se disipan cuando la persona enfrenta determinadas experiencias y accede a la información indicada y veraz. Esta idea, más el hecho de advertir la ausencia de materiales que aborden los mitos en relación con la salud-enfermedad y dirigidos a un público no especializado, influyeron en la realización de esta obra, en la que se analizan los mitos y las realidades sobre diabetes, trastornos mentales, accidentes en niños, divorcio y sexualidad.
