El pueblo gitano contra el Sistema-Mundo

Autor: Pastora Filigrana

Número de Páginas: 123

El varón blanco, occidental y heterosexual se sitúa en la cúspide de la escala de lo humano; todo lo demás es la otredad. Pastora Filigrana propone una mirada a las estrategias de resistencia al capitalismo, el patriarcado y el colonialismo históricas y actuales del pueblo gitano, la otredad por excelencia en Europa. En estas formas de vida encontramos prácticas propias de autogestión de conflictos, resistencias al modelo de producción y consumo neoliberal, o avanzadas formas de mutualismo de base. Todo ello ha sido y es objeto de castigo, criminalización e invisibilización por parte del discurso dominante, por lo que urge poner en valor estas formas de vida y combatir la estigmatización social. «En este libro hablo de sindicalismo social, de eco-feminismo, de mutualismo de base, de autogestión del conflicto y vías de fuga al chantaje renta-trabajo. Lo hago porque salirme del paradigma académico de la izquierda blanca me mata de miedo. Lo hago porque quiero vuestra solemnidad, la de los payos. Para convenceros en vuestro lenguaje, que es el 50 por 100 del mío. Deberíais ser vosotros quienes buscaran en las formas de cooperación y resistencia al modelo de...

With the publication of the landmark volumes The Birds of South America: The Oscine Passerines and The Birds of South America: The Suboscine Passerines, Robert S.

The Birds of South America

Autor: Robert S. Ridgely , Guy Tudor , William L. Brown , World Wildlife Fund

Número de Páginas: 956

A land of incredible natural resources, the South American continent is rich in plant and animal species. Among birds alone, over 3,100 species are either resident or migrant. Birds are some of South America's treasures and also one of its most endangered resources. Hence the need for a descriptive record of South American birds that will serve both professional and amateur bird students and encourage conservation of these magnificent species. Although South American birds elicit much popular and scientific interest, they have never been completely or satisfactorily described and cataloged in a single, published source. The Birds of South America, projected to be a four-volume work, thus fills a critical void. Starting from a museum approach, the authors have examined specimens of each subspecies, comparing them visually and trying to discern the patterns in their plumage variation, both intra- and inter-specifically. They take a new look at bird systematics, reassessing relationships in light of new information. Perhaps most important, they combine this review and analysis with extensive field observations to give an accurate, incisive portrait of the birds in nature. At a time...

Museo Julio Cesar Cubillos

Autor: Carlos Armando Rodríguez

Número de Páginas: 403

Este es un libro con unos lenguajes visuales exuberantes, que entraña una metáfora sobre el arte prehispánico colombiano, la creatividad y la belleza de las mujeres y hombres que vivieron en nuestro territorio 3000 años antes de enfrentar su realidad estética, con otra traída allende del océano. Mediante la utilización del recurso visual, se explora las particularidades que caracterizan parte de la obra de los artistas de 11 culturas prehispánicas de nuestro país. Se inicia el relato con la cultura Ylama del período Formativo Tardío (1500-300 a.C.), luego se continúa con las culturas Yotoco-Malagana y Tumaco Tolita, representantes del denominado Período Clásico o de Desarrollos Regionales (300 a.C.-700 d.C.) y se termina con las culturas Sonso, Quimbaya Tardío 1, Quimbaya Tardío 2, Quebrada Seca, Capulí, Piartal, Tuza y Tairona, todas ellas del Período Tardío (500-1550 d.C.). En 263 ilustraciones se recrean unas concepciones artísticas tan propias como diferentes a las actuales, donde se priorizaba una estética de la vida en la que todos los seres vivos estaban interconectados. Se trata de una nueva y diferente interpretación de nuestro arte precolombino,...

Animals into Art

Autor: Howard Morphy

Número de Páginas: 641

This book is one of a series of volumes resulting from the World Archaeological Congress, September 1986 which addressed world archaeology in its widest sense, investigating how people lived in the past and how and why changes took place to result in the forms of society and culture which exist now. The series brought together archaeologists and anthropologists from many parts of the world, academics from contingent disciplines, and also non-academics from a wide range of cultural backgrounds who could lend their own expertise to the discussions. This book is an exploration of the way in which the animal world features in the works of art of a variety of cultures of different times and places. Contributors have adopted a variety of perspectives for looking at the complex ways in which past and present humans have interrelated with beings they classify as animals. Some of the approaches are predominantly economic and ecological, some are symbolic and others philosophical or theological. All these different views are included in the interpretation of the artworks of the past, revealing some of the foci and inspirations of cultural attitudes to animals. Originally published 1989.

The Bird Name Book

Autor: Susan Myers

A marvelously illustrated A-to-Z compendium of bird names from around the globe The Bird Name Book is an alphabetical reference book on the origins and meanings of common group bird names, from “accentor” to “zeledonia.” A cornucopia of engaging facts and anecdotes, this superbly researched compendium presents a wealth of incisive entries alongside stunning photos by the author and beautiful historic prints and watercolors.

She interweaves the stories behind the names with quotes from publications dating back to the 1400s, illuminating the shared evolution of language and our relationships with birds, and rooting the names in the history of ornithological discovery. Whether you are a well-traveled birder or have ever wondered how the birds in your backyard got their names, The Bird Name Book is an ideal companion.

Bakers and Basques

Autor: Robert Weis

Número de Páginas: 311

Mexico City’s colorful panaderías (bakeries) have long been vital neighborhood institutions. They were also crucial sites where labor, subsistence, and politics collided. From the 1880s well into the twentieth century, Basque immigrants dominated the bread trade, to the detriment of small Mexican bakers. By taking us inside the panadería, into the heart of bread strikes, and through government halls, Robert Weis reveals why authorities and organized workers supported the so-called Spanish monopoly in ways that countered the promises of law and ideology. He tells the gritty story of how class struggle and the politics of food shaped the state and the market. More than a book about bread, Bakers and Basques places food and labor at the center of the upheavals in Mexican history from independence to the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution.

Celebrating Flamenco's Tangled Roots

Autor: K. Meira Goldberg , Antoni Pizà

Número de Páginas: 521

This collection of essays poses a series of questions revolving around nonsense, cacophony, queerness, race, and the dancing body. How can flamenco, as a diasporic complex of performance and communities of practice frictionally and critically bound to the complexities of Spanish history, illuminate theories of race and identity in performance? How can we posit, and argue for, genealogical relationships within and between genres across the vast expanses of the African—and Roma—diaspora? Neither are the essays presented here limited to flamenco, nor, consequently, are the responses to these questions reduced to this topic. What all the contributions here do share is the wish to come together, across disciplines and subject areas, within the academy and without, in the whirling, raucous, and messy spaces where the body is free—to celebrate its questioning, as well as the depths of the wisdom and knowledge it holds and sometimes reveals.

Land, Livelihood, and Civility in Southern Mexico

Autor: Scott Cook

Número de Páginas: 404

In the Valley of Oaxaca in Mexico’s Southern Highland region, three facets of sociocultural life have been interconnected and interactive from colonial times to the present: first, community land as a space to live and work; second, a civil-religious system managed by reciprocity and market activity wherein obligations of citizenship, office, and festive sponsorships are met by expenditures of labor-time and money; and third, livelihood. In this book, noted Oaxacan scholar Scott Cook draws on thirty-five years of fieldwork (1965–1990) in the region to present a masterful ethnographic historical account of how nine communities in the Oaxaca Valley have striven to maintain land, livelihood, and civility in the face of transformational and cumulative change across five centuries. Drawing on an extensive database that he accumulated through participant observation, household surveys, interviews, case studies, and archival work in more than twenty Oaxacan communities, Cook documents and explains how peasant-artisan villagers in the Oaxaca Valley have endeavored over centuries to secure and/or defend land, worked and negotiated to subsist and earn a living, and striven to meet...

Retrato del mezquital

Autor: Haydeé López Hernández

Número de Páginas: 385

Ahondar en una figura del flamenco como Manolo Caracol es encontrarse, frente a frente, con el paradigma del cantaor: cara y cruz de una misma moneda que aglutina afición, vista comercial, legado, innovación, sabiduría, riesgo, cabeza y corazón.
