The Routledge Companion to Literary Urban Studies
Over the past decades, the growing interest in the study of literature of the city has led to the development of literary urban studies as a discipline in its own right. The Routledge Companion to Literary Urban Studies provides a methodical overview of the fundamentals of this developing discipline and a detailed outline of new directions in the field. It consists of 33 newly commissioned chapters that provide an outline of contemporary literary urban studies. The Companion covers all of the main theoretical approaches as well as key literary genres, with case studies covering a range of different geographical, cultural, and historical settings. The final chapters provide a window into new ...
Against Abstraction
In 2015, members of the philosophy department at the University of Madrid conducted an interview with Alberto Moreiras for the university’s digital archive. The resulting dialogues and the Spanish edition of this work, Marranismo e inscripción, o el abandono de la conciencia desdichada, are the basis for Against Abstraction, supplemented with an interview conducted for the Chilean journal Papel máquina. In these landmark conversations, Moreiras describes how, though he was initially committed to Latin American literary studies, he eventually transitioned to become an eminent scholar of critical theory, existential philosophy, and ultimately infrapolitics and posthegemony. Blending intell...
Specters of War
Specters of War explores mourning practices in postwar Central America, particularly in El Salvador and Guatemala. Ignacio Sarmiento delves into the intricate dynamics of grieving through an interdisciplinary lens, analyzing expressions of mourning in literature, theater, and sites of memory. At the heart of this analysis is the contention over who has the right to mourn, how mourning is performed, and who is included in this process. Sarmiento reveals mourning not as a private affair but as a battleground where different societal factions vie for the possibility of grieving the dead. Through meticulous research and theoretical nuance, Specters of War sheds light on the politics of mourning ...
The Oxford Handbook of the Baroque
Baroque, the cultural period extending from the mid-sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth century, created some of the world's most striking monuments, music, artworks, and literature. This Handbook goes beyond all existing studies by presenting Baroque not only as a style, but also as a global cultural phenomenon arising in response to enormous religious, political, and technological changes.

Filosofía política
Este libro piensa la filosofía política como una práctica discursiva. Este recorrido arqueológico supone la defensa implícita de la conexión estructural entre filosofía política, epistemología histórica e historia de las ciencias del Estado.
Uncanny Rest
In Uncanny Rest Alberto Moreiras offers a meditation on intellectual life under the suspension of time and conditions of isolation. Focusing on his personal day-to-day experiences of the “shelter-in-place” period during the first months of the coronavirus pandemic, Moreiras engages with the limits and possibilities of critical thought in the realm of the infrapolitical—the conditions of existence that exceed average understandings of politics and philosophy. In each dated entry he works through the process of formulating a life’s worth of thought and writing while attempting to locate the nature of thought once the coordinates of everyday life have changed. Offering nothing less than a phenomenology of thinking, Moreiras shows how thought happens in and out of a life, at a certain crossroads where memories collide, where conversations with interlocutors both living and dead evolve and thinking during a suspended state becomes provisional and uncertain.
Filosofía de la apariencia física
La apariencia física encierra uno de los problemas filosóficos más relevantes y poco discutidos por la filosofía contemporánea. Este ensayo defiende que la apariencia física es una cuestión filosófica porque constituye un problema moral, pues de ella depende la construcción material del sujeto ético. El sujeto inicia su relación ética consigo mismo y con los otros por medio del cuidado, consciente o inconsciente, de su apariencia externa. Además, la apariencia física es un asunto abiertamente político, ya que la política contemporánea es una expresión de las nuevas formas de aparición y desaparición. La política depende cada vez más de las formas de exposición, de los ...
Ontología de las superficies
Esta obra se centra en el filósofo Emanuele Coccia, y genera las condiciones para pensar: la vida sensible, la moda, la publicidad, las plantas y la imaginación, entre otros tópicos a todas luces heréticos para la tradición filosófica.
