Description:
Latin America, Interdisciplinary Studies, Volume 20. Hardcover volume, measuring approximately 6.25" x 9.25", is new. 99 pages.""Tango, transmodernidad y desencuentro" revela al tango como un espacio de conocimiento sociocultural, enfatizando su rol en la continua construcción de la identidad lingüística y sonora de la Argentina. El tango se presenta así como un proceso transcultural que desvela las luchas por el poder simbólico entre la cultura de elite y la cultura popular; entre los rígidos parámetros de la ciudad letrada y la descentrada heterogeneidad de los lenguajes tangueros.En este libro, que abarca más de un siglo (c. 1910-2010), Guillermo Anad elabora un mapa de las diversas formas poéticas, narrativas y sonoras que se forjan en torno al fenómeno del tango. Canciones, sainetes, poemas; autores tan centrales como Borges y Cortázar, Discépolo y Piazzolla; la escritura de mujeres desde los años '60; autores activistas de los '70; medios de comunicación masiva; y artistas del… Read More

Softcover volume, measuring approximately 5.5" x 9", shows very light shelfwear. 196 pages."Padecemos una terrible dualidad entre la realidad y los valores: existen zonas rurales del estado y del país donde la violencia y el asesinato se han convertido en sucesos cotidianos, sine que nadie pueda remediarlo.Lo poca información que llega a los centros urbanos o semi-urbanos sobre los crímenes en estas regiones has generado una escasa labor de investigación por parte de los especialistas en criminología, mientras que para la prensa y los politicos representa un material valioso para ganar raitings o posesionar a sus respectivos partidos o carreras en el poder.Esta visión comercial y partidista sobre la violencia limita la comprensión del homicio como fenómeno, ya que sólo interesan aquellos crímenes cuyas características ofrecen información capaz de mover la opinión pública. Por ejemplo, el crimen en contra de un turista norteamericano tiene mayor relevancia que el… Read More

Description:
First printing. Volume, measuring approximately 5.75" x 8.5", is bound in black paper spine and boards, with stamped silver lettering to spine. Book is new. xxvi/342 pages."In "The Task of the Critic," Matthew Beaumont compiles fourteen official interviews conducted with Eagleton since the 1980s, interweaving these with new, original and comprehensive interviews to provide readers with a contemporary frame through which to view his thought. Opening with a preface by Eagleton, the conversations narrate not only his own intellectual development but that of the Left over almost half a century, tying his recent return to religious themes with his intellectual formation on the Catholic Left in the 1960s and to the theological interests of influential thinkers like Zizek and Badiou. This volume will appeal not only to those with a specific interest in Eagleton himself and in the fate of the Left, but also to those interested in the trajectories of Anglo-American literary theory in a digestible, stimulating format."

Softcover volume, measuring approximately 6.25" x 9.25", is like new. xi/311 pages."To understand a city fully, writes Di Wang, we must observe its most basic units of social life. In "The Teahouse under Socialism," Wang does just that, arguing that the teahouses of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, are some of the most important public spaces―perfect sites for examining the social and economic activities of everyday Chinese.Wang looks at the transformation of these teahouses from private businesses to collective ownership and how state policy and the proprietors' response to it changed the overall economic and social structure of the city. He uses this transformation to illuminate broader trends in China's urban public life from 1950 through the end of the Cultural Revolution and into the post-Mao reform era. In doing so, "The Teahouse under Socialism" charts the fluctuations in fortune of this ancient cultural institution and analyzes how it survived, and even thrived, under bleak…

Pages are clean and bright. 414 pages."El genero teatral se abre paso en la obra de Federico García Lorca cuando el autor comienza a apartarse de la descripción de sus propias emociones y se vuelve hacia afuera, con deseos de objetividad, sobre el mundo sensorial. Al mismo tiempo, en la producción lorquiana nunca cesa el juego de correspondencias intratextuales entre teatro y poesía. Una móvil dialéctica de forma y contenido va sumando intentos de diferente calibre, factura y orientación. Exhumarlos supone acceder al banco de pruebas de un dramaturgo en progreso. Su recorrido acaba por situarnos a las puertas mismas de la voz dramática del Lorca universal. El puñado de textos teatrales inéditos que aquí se ofrece cubre un periodo de cinco o seis años de 1917 a 1921/22. Comprende desde meras listas der personajes a piezas inconclusas y terminadas.

Meaning Systems. First printing. Softcover volume, measuring approximately 6.25" x 9.25", is like new, with rear cover showing lightly bumped upper outside corner. 279 pages.""The Technological Introject" explores the futures opened up across the humanities and social sciences by the influential media theorist Friedrich Kittler. Joining the German tradition of media studies and systems theory to the Franco-American theoretical tradition marked by poststructuralism, Kittler's work has redrawn the boundaries of disciplines and of scholarly traditions.
The contributors position Kittler in relation to Marshall McLuhan, Jacques Derrida, discourse analysis, film theory, and psychoanalysis. Ultimately, the book shows the continuing relevance of the often uncomfortable questions Kittler opened up about the cultural production and its technological entanglements."

At the dawn of the nineteenth century, the British Empire is engaged in a titanic war with Napoleonic France for global supremacy. The American Republic is quickly expanding its territory along the western frontier, while native peoples struggle to protect their lands from the relentless wave of new settlers. James Laxer offers a fresh and compelling view of this decisive war, by bringing to life two major contests: the native peoples' Endless War to establish nationhood and sovereignty on their traditional territories and the American campaign to settle its grievances with Britain through…

Pitt Poetry Series. Volume, measuring approximately 6" x 8.5", is bound in green cloth, with stamped silver lettering to spine and ornamental design in silver at top of front cover. Book and dust jacket are new. Jacket is preserved in mylar cover. 77 pages."The title poem of this collection is about a family that goes to a summer cottage each year with the certainty that everyone will have a wonderful time; every year various misadventures occur, but the family never loses its buoyant, if slightly ridiculous, optimism. That family, Phyllis Janowitz suggests, is like all of us, always believing that the future will be better than the past, knowing that the idea of permanence is an illusion, but living as if it \were not. If Janowitz's themes are ultimately bleak, her poems are not: knowing and fanciful, they employ a remarkably precise and surprising diction in the service of an imagination which sees the surreal as our ordinary state."

Description:
Austrian and Habsburg Studies, Volume 15. Hardcover volume, measuring approximately 6.25" x 9.5", is new. x/210 pages."A few years after the Nazis came to power in Germany, an alliance of states and nationalistic movements formed, revolving around the German axis. That alliance, the states involved, and the interplay between their territorial aims and those of Germany during the interwar period and World War II are at the core of this volume. This "territorial revisionism" came to include all manner of political and military measures that attempted to change existing borders. Taking into account not just interethnic relations but also the motivations of states and nationalizing ethnocratic ruling elites, this volume reconceptualizes the history of East Central Europe during World War II. In so doing, it presents a clearer understanding of some of the central topics in the history of the war itself and offers an alternative to standard German accounts of the period and East European national histories."

El teatro tiene que estar en conexión con todo lo que ocurre en el mundo del arte y del pensamiento. El título de esta obra remite a las preocupaciones ideológicas y sociales de un tiempo preciso: el primer franquismo. A la vez muestra la admiración de Sinisterra por Brecht, parafraseando la conocida obra del dramaturgo alemán "Terror y miseria en el Tercer Reich". La expresión "primer franquismo" designa además un periodo histórico que comienza en 1939, triunfo del golpe militar encabezado por el general Franco y termina en 1953, año en que Estados Unidos y España firman un acuerdo económico gracias al cual Estados Unidos podía instalar bases militares americanas en territorio… Read More
