Paracuellos
Paracuellos is a work of great courage, created at a time when telling the truth about Spain's political past could get one killed. It is arguably the most important graphic memoir ever created in comics. With a preface by Will Eisner. Carlos Giménez's autobiographical account of the plight of children in post-World War II Fascist Spain has won virtually every comics award in Europe, including "Best Album" at the 1981 Angoulême Festival, and the "Heritage Award" at Angoulême in 2010. In the late 1930s when Spanish fascists led by Franco, and aided by Hitler and Mussolini, overthrew the elected government, almost 200,000 men and women fell in battle, were executed, or died in prison. Their...
Contingencies of Value
Charges of abandoned standards issue from government offices; laments for the loss of the best that has been thought and said resound through university corridors. While revisionists are perplexed by questions of value, critical theory--haunted by the heresy of relativism--remains captive to classical formulas. Barbara Herrnstein Smith's book confronts the conceptual problems and sociopolitical conflicts at the heart of these issues and raises their discussion to a new level of sophistication. Polemical without being rancorous, Contingencies of Value mounts a powerful critique of traditional conceptions of value, taste, judgment, and justification. Through incisive discussions of works by, a...
Advances in Marine Antifouling Coatings and Technologies
Marine biofouling can be defined as the undesirable accumulation of microorganisms, algae and animals on structures submerged in seawater. From the dawn of navigation, marine biofouling has been a major problem for shipping in such areas as reduced speed, higher fuel consumption and increased corrosion. It also affects industries using off-shore structures such as oil and gas production and aquaculture. Growing concerns about the environmental impact of antifouling coatings has led to major new research to develop more environmentally-friendly alternatives. Advances in marine antifouling coatings and technologies summaries this wealth of research and its practical implications.This book is d...

Memórias em Movimento
A obra Memórias em movimento nasce como um volume bilingue português-castelhano para tentar estabelecer uma ponte entre investigadores que trabalham nas duas línguas ibéricas aquém e além do Oceano Atlântico. Tem, portanto, uma perspectiva transnacional alinhada com o campo dos estudos ibéricos, assim como com os estudos da memória, do trauma e do cinema de não ficção, com especial destaque para o documentário argentino e chileno do século XXI. Este volume, aliás, tenciona combinar a reflexão teórica sobre as estratégias de representação da memória cultural no cinema com a análise de vários casos de estudo procedentes de diferentes países (Espanha, Portugal, Argentina e Chile), entre os quais salientam os documentários realizados pelo cineasta chileno Patricio Guzmán. Para concluir o volume, de facto, decidimos incluir a transcrição editada de uma entrevista recente com este documentarista com o intuito de contextualizar melhor os cinco capítulos precedentes, que estão focados na análise da sua obra.
Dengue and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, 2nd Edition
Continued geographic expansion of dengue viruses and their mosquito vectors has seen the magnitude and frequency of epidemic dengue/dengue hemorrhagic fever (DF/DHF) increase dramatically. Recent exciting research on dengue has resulted in major advances in our understanding of all aspects of the biology of these viruses, and this updated second edition brings together leading research and clinical scientists to review dengue virus biology, epidemiology, entomology, therapeutics, vaccinology and clinical management.

Netflix' Spain
This edited collection analyzes the tensions, contradictions, contributions, and new horizons generated and/or imposed by Netflix within Spain's audiovisual culture. This book provides invaluable insight into how Netflix - first in its role as distributor and then as content creator - has changed the audiovisual landscape in Spain. It discusses how Netflix both challenges the traditional method of categorizing film and television output by nationality, while also examining how Spain is presented to other countries through the Netflix catalogue and questioning what its chosen output - light comedies, mystery/thrillers, narco-fiction, and crime - means for Spain's national brand. With chapters addressing themes such as reproducibility, pan-Europeanism after Brexit, gender representation, identity, and globalization, this book explores how - under the influence of Netflix - Spain is transitioning from an importer of audiovisual content to a center of export. This book will appeal to students and scholars of Film and Media Studies, Hispanic and Iberian Studies, and Spanish with a specific interest in Spanish film, television, media, and culture, and global media industries.
Borges and the Politics of Form
Jorge Luis Borges-one of the most important Latin American writers-has also attained considerable international stature, and his work is commonly cited in a wide array of scholarship on contemporary fiction. Partly as a consequence of Borges' international identity, and partly because of a long-standing view in Borges criticism that his writing is principally concerned with abstract ideas, critics have been reluctant to address the question of politics in his writing Filling this critical gap, Gonzalez begins by rejecting the proposition that Borges withdraws from the "real," and provides a detailed analysis of the various political issues that Borges takes up in his essays and short stories. The author places particular emphasis on the turbulent questions that shaped Argentine social history during the period of Borges' output.
