Comerciantes, censores y bibliotecas
En un sesudo análisis sobre la circulación del libro entre España y Nueva Granada en el siglo XVIII, se examinan los mecanismos de control del comercio y las ideas, a través de una reconstrucción documental de los procesos de censura y control inquisitorial. Así mismo, se estudia la red de comercio de libros entre estos territorios, respondiendo a las preguntas de quiénes estaban detrás, con quiénes se relacionaban y cómo se desenvolvían dentro de esta red. Finalmente, para entender el clima cultural y las ideas que circularon en este territorio, se investigaron con detalle varias bibliotecas y libros que viajaron hacia la Nueva Granada en el siglo XVIII y que pertenecieron a instituciones religiosas, autoridades civiles y a personas particulares.

Los textos que componen este libro dan cuenta de lo tratado durante diferentes sesiones en las que participaron activamente los estudiantes, se incluyen también algunas elaboraciones independientes de los profesores. Pensar críticamente y elaborar discursos críticos en estos momentos, cuando varios sectores han anunciado la muerte de la crítica es una prioridad histórica. Por esta razón, contribuir a la consolidación de discursos críticos que consoliden la historia y la teoría como disciplinas que ayudan a la comprensión del pasado y el presente a escalas nacional y latinoamericana ha sido uno de los objetivos principales de la maestría en Historia y Teoría del Arte, la Arquitectura y la Ciudad desde sus inicios que se remontan a más de dos décadas. Una de las particularidades de este libro es poner al alcance del lector una metodología destinada a demostrar que es posible el trabajo interdisciplinario.

An illuminating if harrowing insight into life in a totalitarian state." Clarissa de Waal, author of ALBANIA: PORTRAIT OF A COUNTRY IN TRANSITION "Albania, enigmatic, mysterious Albania, was always the untold story of the Cold War, the 1989 revolutions and the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Crack Capitalism
Crack Capitalism, argues that radical change can only come about through the creation, expansion and multiplication of weak points, or "cracks" in the capitalist system. John Holloway's previous book, Change the World Without Taking Power, sparked a world-wide debate among activists about the most effective methods of resisting capitalism. Now Holloway rejects the idea of a disconnected plurality of struggles and finds a unifying contradiction -- the opposition between the time we spend working as part of the system and our excess "doing" where we revolt and refuse to be subsumed. Clearly and accessibly presented in the form of 33 theses, Crack Capitalism is set to reopen the debate among radical scholars and activists seeking to break capitalism.
