Book Description
Estamos viviendo un renacimiento de la figura y la obra de Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936). Por todas partes surgen asociaciones chestertonianas y se reeditan con gran éxito sus obras fundamentales. Por este motivo, se está rescatando también el resto de su obra, aparentemente menor, pero que tiene el encanto de ofrecernos a un Chesterton igualmente atractivo, un «hombre de pelea, un paradojista y un poeta», como lo llama Miguel de Unamuno en el prólogo a esta edición española de Sobre el concepto de barbarie (1915). Chesterton no era un pacifista, pensaba que había «guerras justas» que tenían que librarse. Durante la Gran Guerra (1914-1918), como miembro del War Propaganda Bureau, publicó diversos escritos en defensa de la civilización occidental, que veía amenazada por la moderna maquinaria bélica teutona. En su análisis de los acontecimientos, Chesterton considera que la Gran Guerra es un conflicto «de civilizaciones y religiones, para determinar el destino moral de la humanidad». Esta edición recoge también las Cartas a un joven garibaldino, otro de sus folletos de la época, que tradicionalmente suelen publicarse con estos escritos sobre el concepto de barbarie. El libro lleva una introducción de Emilio Quintana, que dirige la revista online Hallali. Revista de estudios culturales sobre la Gran Guerra y el mundo hispánico.

Book Description
This book details results of a study that sought to understand the relationship of children who were provided palliative cancer care, their families and the palliative care unit team members with healthcare clowns of an organization that is part of this team. More specifically, the book explores the roles healthcare clowns play in an Oncology Unit and PINDA center in Santiago, Chile. With a qualitative approach, an emergent and cross-sectional design, and strict ethical considerations, data were collected between December 2019 and December 2020. In total, 36 participants were interviewed, while drawings and photographs were collected as documents, and discussion groups were held for each cluster (encompassing mothers, the clinical team and healthcare clowns) to deepen aspects revealed in the interview analysis. Within the book, the results of the research are arranged in emerging themes related to positive effects on well-being and quality of life, especially for validation and emotional regulation, the humane healthcare that the healthcare clown provides in this context, the healthcare clown as a mediator in this transition period, bonds of friendship with children and their inclusion as family members, and the complementarity of this technique with traditional treatments.

Book Description
An Open Access edition of this book will be available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library. As the moment of the birth of the patria, Independence enjoys a privileged role in the historical imaginary of many Latin American nations. In Argentina as in other countries, the period has been fundamental to state discourses of nation-building and identity, lending its figures and central narratives a powerful symbolic function. It has also attracted significant literary attention, and this book offers an innovative reading of texts that provide irreverent, metafictional, or self-reflexive retellings of this foundational moment. This type of fiction is usually read through well-established frameworks on the contemporary Latin American historical novel that emphasise its destabilising of knowledge and single truths. Instead, this work foregrounds the much more immediate, concrete political points at stake when we read these texts through both their direct engagement with contemporary circumstances and the politics of the history they evoke. It therefore argues for a new approach to reading contemporary Latin American historical fiction that showcases its response to politically urgent questions.

Book Description
El presente número de Argumenta Philosophica que tiene en sus manos se propone como monográfico que, a través de cinco ensayos inéditos, retoma la filosofía de Heidegger a la luz de la publicación de los primeros cuadernillos de los Cuadernos. No se trata, sin embargo, de un acercamiento a Heidegger a partir de los Cuadernos negros, sino que, ensanchando el foco de análisis, postulan un paso más y pasan a un estadio posterior.

Book Description
At the beginning of the third decade of the 21st century, the Latino minority, the biggest and fastest growing in the United States, is at a crossroads. Is assimilation taking place in comparable ways to previous immigrant groups? Are the links to the countries of origin being redefined in the age of contested globalism? How are Latinos changing America and how is America changing Latinos? The Oxford Handbook of Latino Studies reflects on these questions, offering a sweeping exploration of Latinas and Latinos' complex experiences in the United States. Edited by leading expert Ilan Stavans, the handbook traces the emergence of Latino studies as a vibrant and interdisciplinary field of research starting in the 1980s, assessing the current state of the discipline while suggesting new paths for exploration. With its twenty-three essays and a conversation by established and emerging scholars, the book discusses various aspects of Latino life and history, from literature, popular culture, and music, to religion, philosophy, and language identity. The articles present new interpretations of important themes such as the Chicano Movement, gender and race relations, the changes in demographics, the tension between rural and urban communities, immigration and the US/Mexico border, the legacy of colonialism, and the controversy surrounding Spanglish. The first handbook on Latino Studies, this collection offers a multifaceted and thought-provoking look at how Latinos are redefining the American identity.

Book Description
La conclusion de este trabajo de critica social es que las conductas de consumo en las sociedades de economia capitalista tienen su origen en un caracter social inconsciente y colectivo. Este caracter es el nucleo central de un sistema basado en una estimulacion sistemica del consumo, que conduce a la humanidad hacia una crisis global de sostenibilidad. Esta crisis tendra una gravedad dificil de imaginar, y pondra en jaque nuestro progreso y el bienestar a nivel global. La via mas eficaz para prevenir y amortiguar sus efectos es la desactivacion acelerada del caracter consumista. Esta desactivacion pasa por impulsar con fuerza procesos emergentes de cambio, en el ambito de la ciudadania, de la politica y de la gestion empresarial, cambios que ayudaran a conducir a la sociedad por la via de la liberacion de la alienacion consumista y a devolver a las personas no solo su condicion de ciudadanos eticos, sino tambien el poder politico que el sistema ha puesto en manos de las empresas y los mercados.

Book Description
In her study of key radio dramas broadcast from 1930 to 1943, Lauren Rea analyses the work of leading exponents of the genre against the wider backdrop of nation-building, intellectual movements and popular culture in Argentina. During the period that has come to be known as the infamous decade, radio serials drew on the Argentine literary canon, with writers such as Héctor Pedro Blomberg and José Andrés González Pulido contributing to the nation-building project as they reinterpreted nineteenth-century Argentina and repackaged it for a 1930s mass audience. Thus, a historical romance set in the tumultuous dictatorship of Juan Manuel de Rosas reveals the conflict between the message transmitted to a mass audience through popular radio drama and the work of historical revisionist intellectuals writing in the 1930s. Transmitted at the same time, González Pulido’s gauchesque series evokes powerful notions of Argentine national identity as it explores the relationship of the gaucho with Argentina’s immigrant population and advocates for the ideal contribution of women and the immigrant population to Argentine nationhood. Rea grounds her study in archival work undertaken at the library of Argentores in Buenos Aires, which holds the only surviving collection of scripts of radio serials from the period. Rea’s book recovers the contribution that these products of popular culture made to the nation-building project as they helped to shape and promote the understanding of Argentine history and cultural identity that is widely held today.
