Book Description
Throughout the 1920s, a remarkable number of young writers and artists lived and worked in Madrid, creating an atmosphere of effervescence and an upsurge in creativity that has rarely been equalled. These young people, acquainting themselves with one another within the span of only a few years, came together to form a tightly woven network of both personal and artistic relationships. In Configurations of a Cultural Scene Andrew Anderson explores this growing community of artists and writers with a focus on how sites of face-to-face interaction in Madrid fostered creative work and forged young identities. Organizing locations into places of sociability, learning, and residence, Anderson offers five case studies that exemplify the significance of these three points of intersection: Rafael Barradas and his tertulia at the Café de Oriente; an artists’ studio located on the Pasaje de la Alhambra; women art students at the Academia de San Fernando who lodged at the Residencia de Señoritas; the artist and writer Gabriel García Maroto; and the close relationship between artist Maruja Mallo and poet Rafael Alberti. Departing from conventional approaches that foreground the trajectories of individual careers, Anderson privileges the lived experience of artists and writers in his analysis of a rich cultural scene held together by cooperation, exchange, and interpersonal connections.

Book Description
Forgé par Gabriel Naudé, au temps baroque d'une raison d'État triomphante, le concept de « coup d'État » peut-il s'appliquer à des âges antérieurs, en particulier à celui de la genèse médiévale de l'État moderne ? C'est à cette question d'histoire rétrospective qu'ont tenté de répondre les auteurs de cet ouvrage. Leurs réponses, qui dessinent un vaste panorama occidental et comparatiste - de l'Angleterre à la péninsule italienne et de la péninsule Ibérique à la Suède - tendent à démontrer que, bien avant de devenir un concept, le coup d'État a d'abord été une pratique généralisée. Car, quelle que soit la nature du régime politique en vigueur ici ou là, que le coup d'État vienne du dedans ou du dehors, qu'il soit perpétré par ceux qui ont le pouvoir ou par ceux qui le contestent et projettent de s'en emparer, il ramène aux fondements même d'une construction étatique en quête d'assurance et de réassurance. En d'autres termes, le coup d'État est comme une pratique constituante.

[and] represents a new, more theoretically rigorous stage in the feminist debate on Latin American women.”—Elizabeth Garrels, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Book Description
"Tells a compelling story about an almost unknown body of work--Argentine women's travel narratives--and also provokes the reader to think more deeply about the intersection between learning about one's country and learning about oneself."-- Debra A. Castillo, Stephen H. Weiss Presidential Fellow, Cornell University, and author of Easy Women: Sex and Gender in Modern Mexican Fiction In this collection of writings by women both inside and outside of Argentina, M�nica Szurmuk has unearthed a rich and delightful tradition of travel writing. The selections, recorded from the period 1850-1930, include travelogues by European and North American women who visited Argentina alongside pieces by Argentinean women who describe trips to the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and the interior of their own country. The pieces show that women writers in colonized and colonizing countries share literary and ideological perspectives and discuss race and gender in similar ways, often using the form of travel writing to discuss highly charged political issues. In addition to short introductions to each text and author, Szurmuk describes how women's texts were co-opted to form an image of white women as models of nationhood that need to be protected and sheltered. She also examines the history of travel writing alongside the participation of women in public life, population policies, and the development of the public school system, and she offers enlightening conclusions about the nature of travel writing as a literary genre.

Book Description
En esta obra se expone el estudio de las marcas de agua o filigranas en los documentos que se conservan en catorce archivos de Galicia correspondientes a los siglos XV y XVI. En total se estudian, reseñan y reproducen las filigranas de 4.538 documentos; lo que supone también una excelente fuente documental para el conocimiento de la vida cotidiana de los gallegos en dichos siglos. La estructura del trabajo se inicia exponiendo que desgraciadamente al desaparecer José Fernando Filgueira Valverde (Presidente del "Consello da Cultura Galega") no podemos contar con el prometido prólogo erudito. Sigue un resumen del Coordinador y a continuación y por cada archivo estudiado, una información del centro, la relación de filigranas, por orden alfabético de sus tipologías, y, finalmente, la descripción de los correspondientes documentos.

Book Description
"In 2009, Perú was the world's leading producer of silver, the world's second leading producer of copper, and the leading producer of gold in Latin America. However, Perú's role as a producer of metals extends for centuries into the past. Mining and Metallurgy in Ancient Perú documents the use of minerals, metals, and mineral resources in ancient Perú for pigments, industrial stone, and the aesthetic and artistic use of gold, silver, copper, and platinum. The tools and methods used for mining, as well as ancient mining sites in the extensive Andean region, are described here, as are metallurgical techniques and fabrication procedures. The volume also provides forward-thinking analytical data on metals, artifacts, and alloys. A detailed pyrite mirror, featured on the cover of the book, symbolizes the spectacular workmanship and blending of utilitarian craft and mineral resources in ancient Perú."--Publisher's description.
