Líder sherpa
El viaje en busca del compromiso a través de los líderes visionarios y de los líderes sherpas Sobre liderazgo hay miles de libros publicados; que digan algo novedoso, algunos; que tengan en cuenta la nueva realidad poscoronavirus, pocos; en los que se refleje la realidad multidimensional del liderazgo, muy pocos; pero que reflexione sobre la necesidad de dos tipos distintos de liderazgo -visionario y sherpa- para enfrentar la nueva realidad, que además esté sembrado con historias curiosas y divertidas, contadas con un gran dominio de la técnica del storytelling y con un humor muy particular, este es, sin duda, el primero. Andrés Pérez y Javier Cantera han escrito un libro ad hoc a lo...
The Timucuan Chiefdoms of Spanish Florida
This first volume of John Worth’s substantial two-volume work studies the assimilation and eventual destruction of the indigenous Timucuan societies of interior Spanish Florida near St. Augustine, shedding new light on the nature and function of La Florida’s entire mission system. Beginning in this volume with analysis of the late prehistoric chiefdoms, Worth traces the effects of European exploration and colonization in the late 1500s and describes the expansion of the mission frontier before 1630. As a framework for understanding the Timucuan rebellion of 1654 and its pacification, he explores the internal political and economic structure of the colonial system. In volume 2, he shows t...
Vint sopars de duro
Si sabem buscar i trobar el sentit de la nostra vida es que hem tingut èxit . La resta només és preparació, diligència i audàcia. Res no provoca més que la realitat, per això, aquest llibre està cuinat des de les experiències personals i compartides dels autors sobre l'evolució de les carreres professionals i el desenvolupament de les organitzacions. Són relats ficció-realitat que tenen com a marc vint trobades gastronòmics en què el diàleg, el debat i la reflexió són la matèria primera del guisat de cada capítol.

On Art, Artists, Latin America, and Other Utopias
Artist, educator, curator, and critic Luis Camnitzer has been writing about contemporary art ever since he left his native Uruguay in 1964 for a fellowship in New York City. As a transplant from the "periphery" to the "center," Camnitzer has had to confront fundamental questions about making art in the Americas, asking himself and others: What is "Latin American art"? How does it relate (if it does) to art created in the centers of New York and Europe? What is the role of the artist in exile? Writing about issues of such personal, cultural, and indeed political import has long been an integral part of Camnitzer's artistic project, a way of developing an idiosyncratic art history in which to ...
Iconic Works of Art by Feminists and Gender Activists
In this book, contributors identify and explore a range of iconic works – "Mistress-Pieces" – that have been made by feminists and gender activists since the 1970s. The first volume for which the defining of iconic feminist art is the raison d’être, its contributors interpret a "Mistress-Piece" as a work that has proved influential in a particular context because of its distinctiveness and relevance. Reinterpreting iconic art by Alice Neel, Hannah Wilke and Ana Mendieta, the authors also offer important insights about works that may be less well known – those by Natalia LL, Tanja Ostojić, Swoon, Clara Menéres, Diane Victor, Usha Seejarim, Ilse Fusková, Phaptawan Suwannakudt □and Tracey Moffatt, among others. While in some instances revealing cross influences between artists working in different frameworks, the publication simultaneously makes evident how social and political factors specific to particular countries had significant impact on the making and reception of art focused on gender. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual studies and gender studies.
Corpus Delecti
The most comprehensive volume on performance art from the Americas to have appeared in English, Corpus Delecti is a unique collection of historical and critical studies of contemporary Latin performance. Drawing on live art from the 1960s to the present day, these fascinating essays explore the impact of Latin American politics, popular culture and syncretic religions on Latin performance. Including contributions by artists as well as scholars, Fusco's collection bridges the theory/practice divide and discusses a wide variety of genres. Among them are: * body art * carpa * vaudeville * staged political protest * tropicalist musical comedies * contemporary Venezuelan performance art * the Chicano Art movement * queer Latino performance The essays demonstrate how specific social and historical contexts have shaped Latin American performance. They also show how those factors have affected the choices artists make, and how their work draw upon and respond to their environment.
