New understandings of how Maya people expressed timekeeping in daily life This book discusses the range of ways the ancient Maya people made time tangible through their architecture, arts, writing, beliefs, and practices. These chapters show how the Maya incorporated cyclicality and expanded dimensionality into the built environment, embedding notions of time in shared political and economic institutions, religious and philosophical traditions, and mythology. Beginning several millennia ago, the Maya observed and calculated the solar year cycle and scheduled collective activities that integrated cities, towns, and villages over great distances. Their timekeeping approaches evolved from commemorative ceremonial architectural complexes starting around 1000 BCE to the formal public inscription of calendar jubilees on stone monuments, the use of calendar almanacs, written prophetic and historical accounts, and the customs of modern priest shamans. Contributors to this volume discuss everyday examples of how the Maya kept time through these practices, including divining with snail shells, laying out center designs with creation stories and star patterns, singing those stories while drinking from vases depicting mythic history, and embedding symbolic temporal deposits within their buildings and living areas. This comprehensive volume includes analyses of groundbreaking recent discoveries, such as the early center of Aguada Fénix and the connections it shows between Maya and Olmec timekeeping. By sharing how the Maya crafted a cosmological sense of time into their daily lives, The Materialization of Time in the Ancient Maya World addresses and rethinks the most famous intellectual feature of this civilization. A volume in the series Maya Studies, edited by Diane Z. Chase and Arlen F. Chase

«El arte de ser mediocre es la destreza de aceptar todas tus rarezas. No es quererte con todo. Es quererte pese a todo» «Me gustaría hacer una reflexión positiva sobre esa persona autodestructiva que vive dentro de mí, pero no la tengo. Ojalá desaparecieras para siempre. Mientras tanto, intento seguir haciendo cosas que quiero, pese a mí... Aceptar que soy mediocre, apoderarme de la palabra y hacer de ello un arte, sin cambiar el mundo ni ser la mejor en nada, ha sido la única arma que he podido utilizar hasta ahora». En esta sincera oda a la mediocridad Maialen Gurbindo, también conocida como Chica Sobresalto, explica, que, como también dice su amigo Txapa, «cuando compartes algo con alguien, pesa la mitad». Compartir la carga para que pese menos es el arranque de este honesto y temerario libro autobiográfico, en el que Maialen nos abre las puertas -con generosidad y un talento marciano-, a sus miedos y rarezas. Y nos brinda, con la excusa de llevar a cabo el ejercicio psicoterapéutico de dar rienda suelta a sus múltiples alter egos, un relato rebosante de ingenio y sensibilidad -en un diálogo imposible entre ella y su variedad de personalidades-, en el que el autoconocimiento y la aceptación son claves de la autoestima y de una buena salud mental.

An exploration of how the ancient Maya engaged with their history by using, altering, and burying stone sculptures. For the ancient Maya, monumental stone sculptures were infused with agency. As they were used, reused, altered, and buried, such sculptures retained ceremonial meaning. In Memory in Fragments, Megan E. O'Neil explores how ancient Maya people engaged with history through these sculptures, as well as how they interacted with the stones themselves over the course of the sculptures'long “lives.” Considering Maya religious practices, historiography, and conceptions of materials and things, O'Neil explores how Maya viewers perceived sculptures that were fragmented, scarred, burned, damaged by enemies, or set in unusual locations. In each case, she demonstrates how different human interactions, amid dynamic religious, political, and historical contexts, led to new episodes in the sculptures'lives. A rare example of cross-temporal and geographical work in this field, Memory in Fragments both compares sculptures within ancient Maya culture across Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, and Belize over hundreds of years and reveals how memory may accrue around and be evoked in material remains.

A study of Maya dental modification from archaeological sites spanning three millennia. Dental modification was common across ancient societies, but perhaps none were more avid practitioners than the Maya. They filed their teeth flat or pointy, polished and drilled them, and crafted decorative inlays of jade and pyrite. Unusually, Maya of all social classes, ages, and professions engaged in dental modification. What did it mean to them? Ancient Maya Teeth is the most comprehensive study of Maya dental modification ever published, based on thousands of teeth recovered from 130 sites spanning three millennia. Esteemed archaeologist Vera Tiesler sifts the evidence, much of it gathered with her own hands and illustrated here with more than a hundred photographs. Exploring the underlying theory and practice of dental modification, Tiesler raises key questions. How did modifications vary across the individual's lifespan? What tools were used? How did the Maya deal with pain—and malpractice? How did they keep their dentitions healthy, functioning, and beautiful? What were the relationships among gender, social identity, and religious identifications? Addressing these and other issues, Ancient Maya Teeth reveals how dental-modification customs shifted over the centuries, indexing other significant developments in Mayan cultural history.

For many fans, metal was visual before it was aural. This book explores the visual dimensions of metal music from the specific socio-historic, geographic, and political positionality of Latin America and the Caribbean where this visual register allows creators and consumers to engage in four distinct strategies (i.e., seeing, revealing, inverting, and appearing) as part of what the authors have termed “extreme decolonial dialogues.” They support their position through a diverse lens that examines essential aspects of the visual dimensions of metal music: album artwork, clothing, film, sites, and activist practices.

Experimental physicist at CERN and acclaimed science presenter Harry Cliff offers an eye-opening account of the inexplicable phenomena that science has only recently glimpsed, and that could transform our understanding of the fundamental nature of reality.Something strange is going on in the cosmos. Scientists are uncovering a catalogue of weird phenomena that simply can't be explained by our long-established theories of the universe. Particles with unbelievable energies are bursting from beneath the Antarctic ice. Unknown forces seem to be tugging on the basic building blocks of matter. Stars are flying away from us far faster than anyone can explain. After decades of fruitless searching, could we finally be catching glimpses of a profound new view of our physical world? Or are we being fooled by cruel tricks of the data? In Space Oddities, Harry Cliff, a physicist who does cutting-edge work on the Large Hadron Collider, provides a riveting look at the universe's most confounding puzzles. In a journey that spans continents, from telescopes perched high above the Atacama Desert to the subterranean caverns of state-of-the-art particle colliders to balloons hovering over the frozen icesheets of the South Pole, he meets the men and women hunting for answers—who have staked their careers and reputations on the uncertain promise of new physics. The result is a mind-expanding, of-the-moment look at the fields of physics and cosmology as they transform before us. With wonder, clarity, and a dose of humor, Cliff investigates the question: Are these anomalies accidents of nature, or could they be pointing us toward vast, hidden worlds?

El historiador de las instituciones puede investigar la legislación actual. Incluso no solo el vigente texto Constitucional, sino proyectos de ley todavía no vigentes, es decir, leyes futuras. Porque lo que caracteriza la actividad del iushistoriador no es el estudio de los hechos del pasado, sino la manera en que se acerca a su objeto de conocimiento. Es el talante del historiador del Derecho ante realidades jurídicas como un precepto constitucional o un proyecto de ley, lo que le diferencia de un iuspositivista o un filósofo del Derecho. El iushistoriador tiende a ver los fenómenos como consecuencia, producto o resultado de un proceso histórico, tratando de analizar sus causas inmediatas y, en lo posible, mostrar las conclusiones de ello (la Historia es Maestra de vida). En definitiva, como no es posible elidir la dimensión histórica del derecho, lo que distingue al historiador de las instituciones es la consideración del derecho (vigente o no) desde la perspectiva histórica. A estos efectos, se reúnen en este libro diversos trabajos sobre aspectos institucionales concretos situados en un amplio segmento temporal, desde el derecho romano hasta el management empresarial actual, que suponen nuevos enfoques en la medida en que han sido estudiados y presentados (en su sentido etimológico, es decir, hechos “presente”) en su perspectiva histórica; en suma re-interpretados por sus autores. Si, como decía Ihering “vivir es interpretar”, el historiador es un re-interpretador por excelencia. Al lector avezado incumbe juzgar si lo ha hecho con la pericia necesaria.

For fans of Angie Thomas, Tiffany D. Jackson, and Jenny Torres SanchezJuana's life has taken a dark turn. Accused of her husband's death, she's now a seventeen-year-old mother, alone and undocumented in a prison cell. No one believes her when she claims she's innocent, not even the prison staff or the gang leader in her block who torments her relentlessly. Her only solace is in her baby, but as Juana struggles to survive the dangers lurking in prison, the threat outside grows even more terrifying. Her husband's furious family wants to take the child away. With no hope in sight, Juana discovers a glimmer of light in a small patch of earth in the prison yard. As she nurtures the plants, memories of her mother's strength and resilience surface, pushing Juana to fight for her freedom and her daughter's future. This is a story of courage, hope, and determination in the face of impossible odds.

A thousand years ago, the Comitán Valley, in the Mexican state of Chiapas, was the western edge of the Maya world. Far from the famous power centers of the Classic period, the valley has been neglected even by specialists. Here, Caitlin C. Earley offers the first comprehensive study of sculpture excavated from the area, showcasing the sophistication and cultural vigor of a region that has largely been ignored. Supported by the rulers of the valley's cities, local artists created inventive works that served to construct civic identities. In their depictions of warrior kings, ballgames, rituals, and ancestors, the artists of Comitán made choices that reflected political and religious goals and distinguished the artistic production of the Comitán Valley from that of other Maya locales. After the Maya abandoned their powerful lowland centers, those in Comitán were maintained, a distinction from which Earley draws new insights concerning the Maya collapse. Richly illustrated with never-before-published photographs of sculptures unearthed from key archaeological sites, The Comitán Valley is an illuminating work of art historical recovery and interpretation.

'Ante todo, debemos considerar que San Francisco, en cada uno de los hechos de su vida, se mostró conforme al modelo de Jesús. Tal como Cristo, al comienzo de su predicación, escogió doce apóstoles, los llamó a despreciar lo mundano y los instó a seguir un camino de renunciamiento y virtud. Así San Francisco, también en el comienzo de la fundación de su Orden, escogió doce compañeros, los que aceptaron abrazar junto a él la altísima pobreza...'. Así comienzan estas Florecillas, anécdotas y hechos puntuales de la vida de San Francisco y de sus compañeros que, a lo largo de los siglos, han revitalizado el espíritu cristiano. El Pobre de Asís surge vivo de cada una de estas páginas, que serán para el lector un manantial de esperanza, un aliciente para perseverar en la virtud, y un compañero inestimable en el único camino que sin dudas lleva a buen fin: el de la propia fe. San Francisco - Nació como Giovanni di Pietro Bernardone, en 1181, en Asís, Italia, y falleció en 1226. Fundador de la Orden Franciscana, de las Hermanas Clarisas y de la llamada Tercera Orden, de carácter seglar, es una de las más grandes figuras de la cristiandad. Hijo de un acomodado burgués, optó por seguir las enseñanzas de Jesús y se entregó a una vida de pobreza, por entender que ésa era la mejor forma de observar las enseñanzas evangélicas. Su Orden sufrió una serie de alternativas que a veces amenazaron con llevarla a la destrucción, pero el espíritu del santo prevaleció, y hoy sus seguidores cubren todo lo ancho del mundo. Con un concepto austero de la propia vida, practicó lo que predicaba, y no dudó en misionar cómo y dónde le fuese posible. El suyo fue el primer caso en que un cristiano recibió los sagrados estigmas de Jesús; esto es, las huellas palpables de las heridas sufridas por Cristo en la cruz. Fue canonizado por la Iglesia Católica en 1228. He aquí, sólo algunos de los hechos que lo constituyeron, a él y a sus seguidores, en una de los más puros modelos cristianos a seguir.

Las actuales necesidades del mercado laboral y de la sociedad hacen que los docentes de todos los niveles educativos tengan que replantearse su función, para adaptarse a esas exigencias sin perder la esencia de su actividad, Ciertamente, desde las Revoluciones liberales hasta bien entrado el siglo XX, el modelo educativo occidental apenas cambió, Su objetivo principal era poner fin a un analfabetismo generalizado, consagrando de esta forma el principio de igualdad y contribuyendo a la creación de una sociedad más homogénea según el ideal burgués, En este modelo, la memoria era fundamental por las dificultades de acceso a la información, y el principio de autoridad del profesor era algo incuestionable, En pocas décadas, sobre todo desde la implantación del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior en 1999, la estructura tradicional de la educación ha sufrido una transformación sustancial, en la que el discente ha pasado de ser un sujeto totalmente pasivo frente a las enseñanzas que recibía, a convertirse en el verdadero protagonista de su propio aprendizaje, Además del nuevo papel central del alumno en todo el proceso, la aproximación al conocimiento ha cambiado radicalmente en estos años,

This book examines the environmental, political, and economic history of Ireland's marine fisheries from 1400 to 1600. It combines a wide range of historical sources with innovative digital research methods to provide a comprehensive and systematic overview. Government letters and court documents highlight the diverse range of fishing fleets from across Europe that visited Irish waters in the early sixteenth century, bringing wealth and cultural influence to the native Irish, who developed complex systems to protect and tax the visitors. Furthermore, trade records illustrate that fish was Ireland's premier export in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. However, a range of factors led to the industry's collapse by the end of the sixteenth century: the Tudor conquest which disrupted fishing operations and fundamentally altered who controlled fishing resources; the destabilization of Irish waters resulting from the terrestrial conflict, which allowed pirates to thrive; an influx of cheap cod from the newly exploited fisheries in Newfoundland which changed consumption patterns in Ireland and across Europe; and shifting climatic conditions and decades of over-exploitation which meant fewer fish and poorer catches. Overall, the book reveals that fisheries form a vital part of the broader environmental, political, and economic history of Ireland.

Fields of Fire: Emancipation and Resistance in Colombia identifies the concept of the emancipatory network as a coordination of loose, discrete, and differentiated actors to explain how activists successfully practice high-risk activism. Illustrating that previous studies on high-risk activism come to contradictory conclusions, Fields of Fire argues that networks rather than individual characteristics are associated with mobilization. This book features unique ethnographic material of a Colombian sugarcane worker strike, interviews with workers and human rights activists in Valle del Cauca and Bogotá reveal different forms of knowledge that activists bring to a social movement. Esparza argues that the combination of these different forms of knowledge bolsters the movement's resiliency in the face of repression.

En la actualidad, y fruto de las transformaciones que demanda el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES), las instituciones de Educación Superior cumplen un papel decisivo en los complejos y entrelazados sistemas de la educación, la investigación y la innovación. Como “puerta de acceso” a los conocimientos, estas instituciones se conciben como “sistemas legitimadores del conocimiento” (Ortega, 2015, p. 177) gracias al desarrollo y a la transmisión de un conocimiento valioso a través de los diferentes actores que las integran.Ante este panorama, resulta necesario cuando no imprescindible que desde el enfoque de la Educación Superior se puedan plantear y debatir experiencias prácticas en innovación e investigación docentes que no solo inspiren a la totalidad de la comunidad educativa, sino que sean capaces de crear nuevos puentes de conocimiento compartido donde presentar y dar visibilidad a aquellas experiencias de educación que se están llevando a cabo en diferentes escenarios educativos, al mismo tiempo que proponer un espacio de reflexión conjunta y de aprendizaje colectivo.

Pedagogy is at the heart of the higher education student experience. This book explores pedagogy in a range of higher education (HE) practices and draws from the expertise of a range of professionals working in higher education across three countries (the UK, China and Malaysia), thus giving voice to a number of debates around teaching and learning practice in higher education from different cultural perspectives. The volume also explores challenges that have arisen as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic which has forced higher education practitioners to reconceptualise pedagogy. It provides insights into different approaches to teaching in 21st-century higher education and as such has a practical focus that will appeal to HE practitioners who are keen to enhance their own practice and, as a consequence, student outcomes.

In November 2017, the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) celebrated its fiftieth anniversary at its headquarters outside Palmira, Colombia. As an important research center of the so-called Green Revolution in agricultural science and technologies, CIAT emphasizes its contributions to sustainability, food security, gender equity, inclusive markets, and resilient, climate-smart agriculture. Yet these terms hardly describe the Cauca Valley where CIAT is physically located, a place that has been transformed into an industrial monoculture of sugarcane where thirteen Colombian corporations oversee the vast majority of this valley's famously fertile soil. This exemplifies the paradox Timothy W. Lorek describes in Making the Green Revolution: an international research center emphasizing small-scale and sustainable agricultural systems sited conspicuously on a landscape otherwise dominated by a large-scale corporate sugarcane industry.Utilizing archives in Colombia, Puerto Rico, and the United States, Lorek tracks the paradoxical but intertwined twentieth-century processes that produced both CIAT and sugar in the Cauca Valley. This history reveals how Colombians contributed to the rise of a global Green Revolution and how that international process in turn intersected with a complex and long-running rural conflict in Colombia.

Did you know that Sirimavo Bandaranaike of Sri Lanka was the first woman in the world to become a democratically elected prime minister? That Tina Anselmi of Italy was a wartime resistance fighter who became the first woman to serve as a cabinet minister? Or that Sylvie Kinigi of Burundi was the first woman to serve as a prime minister in Africa? It is high time these extraordinary women who helped shape our world became household names, and this book brings them at last to the fore. Women Who Won is a celebration of 70 women from the last 100 years: politicians from around the globe who fought for election in a man's world… and won. Beautifully illustrated by artist Emmy Lupin, it features well-known figures, including Kamala Harris, Benazir Bhutto, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Jacinda Ardern and Julia Gillard, alongside lesser-known women whose stories are ready to be heard: Shidzue Katō, one of the first women elected to the Diet of Japan Yulia Tymoshenko, the first woman prime minister of Ukraine Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to the US Congress Peri-Khan Sofieva, the first democratically elected Muslim woman Ethel Blondin-Andrew, the first Indigenous woman elected to Canadian parliament Women of the past, but also women of the present and future. Women who smashed the political glass ceiling. Women who fought to leave a positive legacy for future generations. Women who paved the way for girls of today to become women who won.

The volume challenges dominant narratives of progress with a rich range of investigations of local struggles from the Global south which are based on original ethnographic research. The chapters take a point of departure in ideas and concepts developed by the pioneering anthropologist Eric R. Wolf in ‘Europe and the People Without History', and emphasize the relevance and usefulness of applying Wolf to contemporary contexts. As such, the collection contributes to knowledge of dynamic relationships between local agency in the Global south, and broader political and economic processes that make ‘people without history.'This shows global power as both excluding local groups at the same time as conditioning local struggles and the forms that social organization takes. Contributors are: Paul Stacey, Joshua Steckley, Nixon Boumba, Marylynn Steckley, Ismael García Colón, Inge-Merete Hougaard, Gustavo S. Azenha, Ioannis Kyriakakis, Raquel Rodrigues Machaqueiro, Tirza van Bruggen, and Masami Tsujita.

En pleno siglo XXI, cuando está en proceso de modificarse la política agraria colombiana, es sumamente pertinente este libro, cuyo objetivo es explicar, a lo largo de varios capítulos y desde diferentes perspectivas, la importancia de la pequeña agricultura familiar para que Colombia logre un buen resultado económico y social, al disminuir la pobreza, la desigualdad y la inseguridad de ingresos y de alimentos. Esto porque esta suma de textos ofrece evidencia sobre el potencial económico y social de esa actividad y sobre las políticas más aptas para promoverla, de acuerdo con las circunstancias, entre ellas las de posconflicto; porque combina la teoría económica pertinente con la evidencia empírica histórica y actual, y con las experiencias colombianas y de países comparables; porque ofrece hipótesis sobre los factores contribuyentes a las deficiencias históricas de la política agraria en Colombia, con base en sus propios intentos de reforma agraria y los de otros países latinos; porque destaca los obstáculos políticos y técnicos frente al diseño de políticas exitosas en esta área, y, finalmente, porque considera opciones como el impuesto presuntivo y el apoyo a las exportaciones de los productos de la pequeña agricultura.

In contemporary times, most organizational functions (such as finance, marketing, and supply chains) have assessed their impact on the environment. HR has lagged behind other disciplines in discussions of sustainability, though the literature on this topic has grown significantly in recent years. This book, engaging SDGs 4 and 8, among others, examines green HRM from a variety of perspectives. Divided into three sections, it explores the process of human resource acquisition, the connection between green HRM practice and employee behavior, and international perspectives of green HRM. The final chapter presents a summary analysis of topics discussed in the book and outlines potential future paths of research for the field. This volume, featuring leading researchers from across the globe, further develops this emerging field for HR and organizational behavior scholars.

Aunque no son pocos los estudios que se han realizado sobre la relación de las mujeres y las artes, solo en los últimos tiempos se ha comenzado a tener conciencia de que su papel no fue una mera extensión del proceder de sus esposos. La historiografía no ha indagado en la actividad como artistas de las mujeres porque se trataba de un oficio propio de los hombres. En la Antigüedad clásica, en la Edad Media, y hasta finales de la Edad Moderna, las artes visuales eran artesanía, no Artes Liberales.Sin embargo, que las mujeres no fuesen artistas no supone que careciesen de importancia en el desarrollo de las artes. Ellas se ocuparon de construir la imagen de la familia a la que pertenecían: levantaron capillas funerarias, palacios, contrataron retablos y adquirieron tapices y pinturas. Un patronato que tal vez les correspondía, al considerarse tales desempeños como algo propio del entorno doméstico. Este aspecto es el que se quiere destacar en esta publicación que lleva un subtítulo esclarecedor: Señoras del poder, pues sin esas damas poderosas las artes serían otra cosa.

Las independencias hispanoamericanas interrumpieron de forma abrupta las relaciones no solo políticas, sino también demográficas, económicas y culturales que durante casi trescientos años habían vinculado estrechamente a España con sus territorios americanos, ahora emancipados. La resistencia española a reconocer la independencia de sus antiguas colonias retrasó el comienzo del proceso de normalización de sus relaciones con los nuevos Estados americanos hasta el segundo tercio del siglo xix. Esta prolongada incomunicación hizo que los antiguos vínculos fueran en parte desdibujándose, mientras la exmetrópoli -lejos ya de su condición de gran potencia imperial- y las jóvenes naciones hispanoamericanas seguían distintos derroteros. La reconstrucción de la intrincada red de relaciones que habían unido con anterioridad ambas orillas del Atlántico tendría lugar sobre nuevas bases a través de un proceso que se extendería a lo largo de toda la centuria y que no concluyó realmente hasta la pérdida por España de los restos de su imperio colonial. La presente obra colectiva analiza desde distintas vertientes algunas de las principales facetas de este reencuentro, cuyo desarrollo condujo a la progresiva normalización de las relaciones entre España y las nuevas naciones americanas. Un proceso condicionado por las pulsiones intervencionistas de la España isabelina y la declinante presencia española en Cuba y Puerto Rico, pero también por el progresivo restablecimiento de las relaciones migratorias, comerciales y culturales que contribuirían a redefinir sobre nuevas bases los vínculos entre ambas orillas del Atlántico, haciendo que estos comenzaran a cobrar la importancia que alcanzarían durante el siglo xx.

La corrupción es una forma de deslealtad a alguien o a algo, según Calsamiglia. Precisamente una de las mayores deslealtades es la del administrador de sociedades al que se le confía la gestión del patrimonio social y aprovecha esta actividad para beneficiarse personalmente en desmedro de los intereses sociales. Lamentablemente, la experiencia de los últimos años nos ha dado numerosos ejemplos de ello: pagos de sobornos, remuneraciones excesivas, jubilaciones millonarias, acuerdos fraudulentos en provecho de sus intereses privados, etc. El asunto cobra mayor relevancia cuando, además de despatrimonializar a la empresa, ésta debe ser reflotada con el erario público, como ha sucedido después de la crisis de 2008 con numerosas sociedades financieras. En este trabajo se aborda la corrupción corporativa primero desde el punto de vista criminológico, es decir, la comprensión de la cultura corporativa que marca los comportamientos en las empresas, particularmente desde arriba (tone at the top), de ahí la importancia de la prevención desde el comportamiento de los directivos. Esta problemática que es tratada por el Derecho con normas sobre el gobierno corporativo (corporate governance), han dado lugar a la reforma de 2014 de la Ley de Sociedades de Capital, que ha pretendido elevar el precio de la deslealtad de los administradores. Por otro lado, el legislador penal de 2015 ha reformado el CP en la materia (antiguo art. 295 CP), derogando el delito societario de administración desleal a cambio de un genérico tipo penal de administración desleal (art. 252 CP). La gran pregunta es si estas reformas han conseguido elevar el precio de la deslealtad de manera que al administrador le resulte más costoso delinquir, que beneficiarse de la misma.

Music, Sound, and Documentary Film in the Global South, edited by Christopher L. Ballengee, represents an important step toward thinking about the production and analysis of the soundscapes of documentary film, all while exploring a range of social, cultural, technological, and theoretical questions relevant to current trends in Global South studies. Written by a diverse set of authors, including filmmakers, academics, and cultural critics, the ten essays in this book provide fresh evaluations of the place of music and sound in documentary films outside the European-American milieu. On the whole, the authors illuminate how the invention of documentary film was at first a product of the colonialist project. Yet over time, access to filmmaking technologies led to the creation of documentary films relevant for local communities and national identities. In this sense, documentary film in the Global South might be broadly defined as a mode of personally or politically mediated storytelling that, by one route or another, has become a useful and recognizable means of memorializing traumatic histories and critiquing everyday lived experience. As the essays in this volume attest, close readings of documentary soundscapes provide fresh perspectives on ways of hearing and ways of being heard in the Global South.

This book examines how Latin American detective stories portray individualism and the state through the figures of the private eye and the police. Fabricio Tocco argues that these portrayals constitute a far more radical critique than the one developed by the Anglo-American canon, culminating in a transnational “poetics of failure” rooted in dissatisfaction with the neoliberal state.

Il 24 febbraio del 1821 Agustín de Iturbide firmò il Plan de Iguala, proclamando l'indipendenza dell'Impero messicano dalla Spagna. Fondata sul principio liberale della sovranità nazionale e geneticamente costituzionale, la nuova monarchia rappresentò un unicum nel panorama indipendentista ispanoamericano di segno repubblicano. L'Impero ebbe però vita breve e turbolenta e la sua caduta, nel 1823, coincise con quella di Iturbide (in principio osannato come Libertador, poi incoronato imperatore e infine bollato come tiranno per i suoi scontri con il Congresso costituente). Col Messico subito rifondato come repubblica, l'esperimento monarchico fu etichettato come vacuo e retrogrado, strumentale alle mire dispotiche del suo fondatore, e la storiografia ha spesso alimentato la sua pessima fama. Tuttavia, un'attenta rilettura delle fonti rivela le interessanti peculiarità dell'Impero, che, sotto il profilo politico e istituzionale, può collocarsi a pieno titolo nel contesto rivoluzionario euroatlantico delle prime due decadi dell'Ottocento.

'Diario íntimo'(1909) es el texto hispanoamericano más antiguo de este tipo del que se tiene noticia. Soledad Acosta de Samper lo escribió entre los veinte y los veintidós años, en su diario relata los comienzos de su historia de amor con quien luego sería su esposo y retrata, además, el contexto histórico y social que la rodeaba.-

En los últimos años, numerosos casos de corrupción han ocupado portadas de periódicos y minutos de televisión y de radio. En algunos de ellos, la justicia ha sentado en el banquillo de los acusados a mujeres, algunas de ellas de destacado rango social. A pesar de que la resolución final de los respectivos casos ha sido dispar, hemos visto que el delito de corrupción no es sólo cosa de hombres: las mujeres también participan de estas prácticas con distintos protagonismos. Al menos, en los más mediáticos. El Centro de Estudios e Investigación, Dones i Drets de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona junto con el Grupo de Investigación Política, Institucions i Corrupció a l'Època Contemporània de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, presentan una nueva aportación a los estudios de género. Los temas de investigación se han articulado en dos bloques, históricos o jurídicos de acuerdo con los contenidos y la adscripción de sus autoras y autores a unas disciplinas académicas. Cada uno de los trabajos intentará dilucidar las características de una conducta que es llevada a cabo por mujeres. ¿Las conductas serán diferentes que las llevadas a cabo por hombres? ¿Cuáles serán sus efectos? ¿Qué papel juegan las mujeres en los casos de corrupción? ¿Existe una corrupción feminizada? No se trata tanto de opiniones tangenciales del tema, sino que se documentan episodios históricos, se presentan realidades jurídicas y se prevén posibilidades futuras. El IV Plan de Igualdad de la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona señala como objetivo estratégico la introducción de la perspectiva de género en la investigación ofreciendo recursos y formación al profesorado docente e investigador al tiempo que se incentivan los estudios de género. Las ciencias sociales y las jurídicas que han liderado este trabajo, comparten un ejercicio transversal de investigación en un estricto análisis académico de la corrupción.

Un libro práctico para entender cuál es la mejor forma de destetar a tu bebé. A lo largo de estos últimos años he podido especializarme en el acompañamiento de todo tipo de destete: nocturno, dirigido por la madre, de urgencia, desde los primeros días hasta en niños mayores. Todos los bebés y todas las madres van a pasar por un destete. A pesar de ello, nadie le presta suficiente atención a esta etapa. El destete es el patito feo de la lactancia. En la lactancia se pueden ofrecer recomendaciones generales que sirven para todas las mujeres, ¿y en el destete? Aquí las recomendaciones deben ser casi individualizadas. Lo que se ha escrito hasta ahora es totalmente insuficiente, por eso este libro tiene en cuenta esa necesidad de individualización y ofrece consejos específicos que son de utilidad para todas las madres.

Volumen que viene cargado de propuestas robustas, visibles y muy reivindicativas

Cave archaeology in the New World, now a focus of intense research, was still a peripheral area of inquiry just fifteen years ago. Stone Houses and Earth Lords is the first volume dedicated exclusively to the use of caves in the Maya Lowlands, covering primarily Classic Period archaeology from A.D. 100 through the Spaniards'arrival. Although the caves that riddled the lowlands show no signs of habitation, most contain evidence of human use - evidence that suggests that they functioned as ritual spaces. Demonstrating the importance of these subterranean spaces to Maya archaeology, contributors provide interpretations of archaeological remains that yield insights into Maya ritual and cosmology. Compiling the best current scholarship in this fast-growing area of research, Stone Houses and Earth Lords is a vital reference for Mayanists, Mesoamerican specialists, and others interested in the human use of caves in the New World. Contributors include: Juan Luis Bonor, James E. Brady, Robert Burnett, Allan B. Cobb, Pierre Robert Colas, Cesar Espinosa, Sergio Garza, David M. Glassman, Christina T. Halperin, Amalia Kenward, Andrew Kindon, Patricia McAnany, Christopher Morehart, Holley Moyes, Vanessa A. Owen, Shankari Patel, Polly Peterson, Keith M. Prufer, Timothy. W. Pugh, Frank Saul, Julie Saul, Ann M. Scott, Andrea Stone, and Vera Tiesler.

Southeastern Mesoamerica highlights the diversity and dynamism of the Indigenous groups that inhabited and continue to inhabit the borders of Southeastern Mesoamerica, an area that includes parts of present-day Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. Chapters combine archaeological, ethnohistoric, and historic data and approaches to better understand the long-term sociopolitical and cultural changes that occurred throughout the entirety of human occupation of this area. Drawing on archaeological evidence ranging back to the late Pleistocene as well as extensive documentation from the historic period, contributors show how Southeastern Mesoamericans created unique identities, strategically incorporating cosmopolitan influences from cultures to the north and south with their own long-lived traditions. These populations developed autochthonous forms of monumental architecture and routes and methods of exchange and had distinct social, cultural, political, and economic traits. They also established unique long-term human-environment relations that were the result of internal creativity and inspiration influenced by local social and natural trajectories. Southeastern Mesoamerica calls upon archaeologists, anthropologists, historians, ethnohistorians, and others working in Mesoamerica, Central America, and other cultural boundaries around the world to reexamine the role Indigenous resilience and agency play in these areas and in the cultural developments and interactions that occur within them.

A critical look into how and why the U.S. military needs to become more adaptable. Every military must prepare for future wars despite not really knowing the shape such wars will ultimately take. As former U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates once noted:'We have a perfect record in predicting the next war. We have never once gotten it right.'In the face of such great uncertainty, militaries must be able to adapt rapidly in order to win. Adaptation under Fire identifies the characteristics that make militaries more adaptable, illustrated through historical examples and the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Authors David Barno and Nora Bensahel argue that militaries facing unknown future conflicts must nevertheless make choices about the type of doctrine that their units will use, the weapons and equipment they will purchase, and the kind of leaders they will select and develop to guide the force to victory. Yet after a war begins, many of these choices will prove flawed in the unpredictable crucible of the battlefield. For a U.S. military facing diverse global threats, its ability to adapt quickly and effectively to those unforeseen circumstances may spell the difference between victory and defeat. Barno and Bensahel start by providing a framework for understanding adaptation and include historical cases of success and failure. Next, they examine U.S. military adaptation during the nation's recent wars, and explain why certain forms of adaptation have proven problematic. In the final section, Barno and Bensahel conclude that the U.S. military must become much more adaptable in order to address the fast-changing security challenges of the future, and they offer recommendations on how to do so before it is too late.

The Maya World brings together over 60 authors, representing the fields of archaeology, art history, epigraphy, geography, and ethnography, who explore cutting-edge research on every major facet of the ancient Maya and all sub-regions within the Maya world.The Maya world, which covers Guatemala, Belize, and parts of Mexico, Honduras, and El Salvador, contains over a hundred ancient sites that are open to tourism, eight of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and many thousands more that have been dug or await investigation. In addition to captivating the lay public, the ancient Maya have attracted scores of major interdisciplinary research expeditions and hundreds of smaller projects going back to the 19th century, making them one of the best-known ancient cultures. The Maya World explores their renowned writing system, towering stone pyramids, exquisitely painted murals, and elaborate funerary tombs as well as their creative agricultural strategies, complex social, economic, and political relationships, widespread interactions with other societies, and remarkable cultural resilience in the face of historical ruptures. This is an invaluable reference volume for scholars of the ancient Maya, including archaeologists, historians, and anthropologists.

Aunque Colombia puede representarse como una mancha en un mapa, esa abstracción en últimas remite a un espacio concreto que tiene montañas, carreteras, ciudades y multitud de ecosistemas, donde hace calor o frío y se respira un aire que huele a guayaba o a exhosto. Fragmentos de historia ambiental colombiana recoge once artículos escritos por historiadores y geógrafos de la Universidad de los Andes, que estudian cómo el mundo natural ha moldeado nuestra historia y desentrañan la forma en que nuestro pasado está entrelazado con el de los ríos, suelos y bosques de la geografía nacional. Un énfasis en la Bogotá del siglo XX permite entender por qué sus cerros están cubiertos de pinos y eucaliptos o cómo la formación de la ciudad sobre ríos y humedales ha generado formas de organización social. El libro también viaja al Valle del Cauca, al Cesar y al Atlántico, para explorar los costos de la modernización agrícola, y a la Amazonia, el Chocó y La Guajira para reconstruir la historia de nuestros bosques, que en unos casos siguen en pie y en otros desaparecieron. Este libro es una contribución decisiva a un novedoso campo de la historia que se abre paso en Colombia.

In order to understand our past, we need to understand ourselves as archaeologists and our discipline. This volume presents recent research into collecting practices of European Antiquities by national museums, institutes and individuals during the 19th and early 20th-century, and the ‘Ancient Europe'collections that resulted and remain in many museums. This was the period during which the archaeological discipline developed as a scientific field, and the study of the archaeological paradigmatic and practical discourse of the past two centuries is therefore of importance, as are the sequence of key discoveries that shaped our field. Many national museums arose in the early 19th century and strived to acquire archaeological objects from a wide range of countries, dating from Prehistory to the Medieval period. This was done by buying, sometimes complete collections, exchanging or copying. The networks along which these objects travelled were made up out of the ranks of diplomats, aristocracy, politicians, clergymen, military officials and scholars. There were also intensive contacts between museums and universities and there were very active private dealers. The reasons for collecting antiquities were manifold. Many, however, started out from the idea of composing impressive collections brought together for patriotic or nationalistic purposes and for general comparative use. Later on, motives changed, and in the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities became more scientifically oriented. Eventually these collections fossilized, ending up in the depots. The times had changed and the acquisition of archaeological objects from other European countries largely came to an end. This group of papers researches these collections of ‘Ancient Europe'from a variety of angles. As such it forms an ideal base for further researching archaeological museum collection history and the development of the archaeological discipline.

David Freidel and Linda Schele's monumental work A Forest of Kings: The Untold Story of the Ancient Maya (1990) offered an innovative, rigorous, and controversial approach to studying the ancient Maya, unifying archaeological, iconographic, and epigraphic data in a form accessible to both scholars and laypeople. Travis Stanton and Kathryn Brown's A Forest of History: The Maya after the Emergence of Divine Kingship presents a collection of essays that critically engage with and build upon the lasting contributions A Forest of Kings made to Maya epigraphy, iconography, material culture, and history. These original papers present new, cutting-edge research focusing on the social changes leading up to the spread of divine kingship across the lowlands in the first part of the Early Classic. The contributors continue avenues of inquiry such as the timing of the Classic Maya collapse across the southern lowlands, the nature of Maya warfare, the notion of usurpation and “stranger-kings” in the Classic period, the social relationships between the ruler and elite of the Classic period Yaxchilán polity, and struggles for sociopolitical dominance among the later Classic period polities of Chichén Itzá, Cobá, and the Puuc kingdoms. Many of the interpretations and approaches in A Forest of Kings have withstood the test of time, while others have not; a complete understanding of the Classic Maya world is still developing. In A Forest of History recent discoveries are considered in the context of prior scholarship, illustrating both the progress the field has made in the past quarter century and the myriad questions that remain. The volume will be a significant contribution to the literature for students, scholars, and general readers interested in Mesoamerican and Maya archaeology. Contributors: Wendy Ashmore, Arlen F.
