La gran coalición de chupamedias, boludos y malandras

Autor: Roberto Travesani

Número de Páginas: 108

Hacia fines de la primera década de este siglo acabé por llegar a la conclusión de que al poder en la Argentina lo maneja una especie de coalición de chupamedias, boludos y malandras. Pero cuando me refiero al poder, no pienso solamente en el poder político, sea este nacional, provincial o municipal, si no también al poder en gremios, cooperativas, clubes, etc. A poco de llegar a semejante idea, surgió la necesidad de plasmarla en un libro, que acabó siendo un libro no sólo sobre esta coalición, o sobre estas coaliciones, porque son múltiples, sino también sobre las diversas taras de la Argentina y de los argentinos que en conjunto con estas coaliciones mantienen al país girando en una especie de calesita y le impide encaminarse al progreso.

Exploring Ancient Skies

Autor: David H. Kelley , Eugene F. Milone

Número de Páginas: 623

Exploring Ancient Skies brings together the methods of archaeology and the insights of modern astronomy to explore the science of astronomy as it was practiced in various cultures prior to the invention of the telescope. The book reviews an enormous and growing body of literature on the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean, the Far East, and the New World (particularly Mesoamerica), putting the ancient astronomical materials into their archaeological and cultural contexts. The authors begin with an overview of the field and proceed to essential aspects of naked-eye astronomy, followed by an examination of specific cultures. The book concludes by taking into account the purposes of ancient astronomy: astrology, navigation, calendar regulation, and (not least) the understanding of our place and role in the universe. Skies are recreated to display critical events as they would have appeared to ancient observers - events such as the supernova of 1054, the 'lion horoscope' or the 'Star of Bethlehem.' Exploring Ancient Skies provides a comprehensive overview of the relationships between astronomy and other areas of human investigation. It will be useful as a reference for scholars and...

"The Wolf Era Ends, and The Sheep Era Starts”: Zoroastrian Apocalypticism in The Maʿnī-yi Vahman Yasht

Autor: Pooriya Alimoradi

Número de Páginas: 503

This book studies, for the first time, the Maʿnī-yi Vahman Yasht , the New Persian version of the Zand ī Wahman Yašt , the most important Zoroastrian text in apocalyptic genre. Through offering a critical edition, translation, and commentary, Alimoradi argues that the MVY is not a translation of the extant Pahlavi ZWY and is derived from another recension of apocalyptic materials in Pahlavi. He also offers suggestions in identifying several unspecified characters and events referred to in the text whose identities have been debated for decades. The book is relevant to those interested in Zoroastrianism, Iranian apocalyptic traditions, and anyone studying the Arab conquests in Western and Central Asia in 6th to 9th c. CE.

Countless Sands

Autor: Jeffrey Moser , Jason Protass

Número de Páginas: 329

Countless Sands presents engaging analyses of the diverse relationships between Buddhism and the environment that existed in medieval Asia. Recent years have witnessed a surge in publications across the humanities that advance powerful ethical and political arguments to account for the human failure to respond effectively to global climate change. While the contributors to this volume are attuned to this challenge, rather than present explicit political arguments, they pursue a subtler effort to historicize the environment as a site and subject of Buddhist practice while providing research grounded in rigorous analysis of complex and fragmentary sources. The volume thereby mitigates against the Orientalist, East-West binaries that have long informed the invocation of Buddhism in Euro-American environmental discourses. As the chapters collectively demonstrate, there was no singular, consistently “Buddhist” understanding of the natural world, but innumerable, varied engagements preserved in discrete texts, images, and artifacts. Through specific case studies, the authors consider such questions as: How did premodern Buddhists understand what we today call “the environment”?...

Japanese Mandalas

Autor: Elizabeth Ten Grotenhuis

Número de Páginas: 249

The first broad study of Japanese mandalas to appear in a Western language, this volume interprets mandalas as sanctified realms where identification between the human and the sacred occurs. The author investigates eighth- to seventeenth-century paintings from three traditions: Esoteric Buddhism, Pure Land Buddhism, and the kami-worshipping (Shinto) tradition. It is generally recognized that many of these mandalas are connected with texts and images from India and the Himalayas. A pioneering theme of this study is that, in addition to the South Asian connections, certain paradigmatic Japanese mandalas reflect pre-Buddhist Chinese concepts, including geographical concepts. In convincing and lucid prose, ten Grotenhuis chronicles an intermingling of visual, doctrinal, ritual, and literary elements in these mandalas that has come to be seen as characteristic of the Japanese religious tradition as a whole. This beautifully illustrated work begins in the first millennium B.C.E. in China with an introduction to the Book of Documents and ends in present-day Japan at the sacred site of Kumano. Ten Grotenhuis focuses on the Diamond and Womb World mandalas of Esoteric Buddhist tradition, on ...

Operation Shakespeare

Autor: John Shiffman

Número de Páginas: 288

"A Pulitzer Prize finalist presents the rare and intimate narrative of a daring national security sting designed to protect US soldiers, sailors, and pilots from the greatest danger they face on the battlefield--an enemy equipped with American-made weapons and technology. In Operation Shakespeare, investigative journalist John Shiffman traces an audacious and high-risk undercover operation--from Philadelphia to Shiraz to London to Beverly Hills to Tbilisi and Dubai. The sting is launched by an elite undercover Homeland Security unit created to stop the Iranians, Russians, Chinese, Pakistanis, and North Koreans from acquiring sophisticated American-made electronics capable of guiding missiles, jamming radar, and triggering countless weapons--from wireless IEDs to nuclear bombs. The US agents must outwit not only enemy brokers, but American manufacturers and global bankers too willing to put profit over national security. The three-year sting in Operation Shakespeare climaxes when the US agents lure the Iranian broker to a former Soviet republic with the promise of American-made radar, fighter-jet and missile components, then secretly drag him back to the United States, where he is...

En Venezuela

Autor: Joaquín Sánchez Mariño

Número de Páginas: 196

La República Bolivariana de Venezuela es el lugar —a la vez concreto y simbólico— donde se juegan los grandes debates políticos de estos años. Todos hablamos de ella; muchos debatimos sobre ella furiosamente; pocos hemos estado ahí. Joaquín Sánchez Mariño se propuso conocer al país real y, sobre todo, a las personas reales que trabajan, se enamoran, se separan, luchan, mueren, emigran o simplemente viven en la Venezuela de hoy. Más allá de toda toma de posición ideológica, Joaquín Sánchez Mariño retoma en este libro la mejor tradición del periodismo en profundidad y ofrece del país un retrato inolvidable, contradictorio, desgarrado, irrenunciablemente humano.

Diccionario etimológico del lunfardo

Autor: Oscar Conde

Número de Páginas: 280

Edición corregida y aumentada. Este diccionario de lunfardo, con casi seis mil entradas, es el único que da cuenta de la etimología de los vocablos y resulta incomparable por su rigor científico, lo que redunda en una mayor claridad y facilita las búsquedas. La palabra lunfardo, que en su origen significó "ladrón" define un extenso vocabulario que nació en las ciudades rioplatenses y se extendió luego al resto del país y a las naciones limítrofes hasta instalarse definitivamente en nuestra habla cotidiana. Las palabras que usamos son mucho más que un medio de comunicación: en su conjunto reflejan un modo de ver el mundo, de categorizar la realidad, de entenderla, en suma, de vivirla. Y sólo nacen cuando el hablante no tiene otras mejores para expresar lo que quiere decir. Los lunfardismos no escapan a esta ley, y constituyen un potente caudal que enriquece nuestro idioma y contribuye de manera indiscutible a construir nuestra identidad. La presente edición, corregida y aumentada, incorpora nuevas acepciones de términos ya registrados y añade voces que no contaban con registro hasta la fecha, como cachengue, ladri, roche, tarlipes y viejazo, entre otras.

El libro de la salsa

Autor: César Miguel Rondón

Número de Páginas: 435

Crónica de la música del Caribe urbano es el subtítulo de este libro, todo un clásico actualizado para esta edición cuando están a punto de cumplirse 40 años de su publicación original. La salsa, esa música de los barrios latinos de Nueva York, nació en la década de 1950 en los locales donde se reunían los cubanos, los puertorriqueños o los venezolanos emigrados a Estados Unidos. Y siempre fue la voz del barrio, de los amores contrariados, de la vida precaria, de los malandros y los desarraigados, una forma de llevar el Caribe al escenario de la gran ciudad. La calle está durísima, cantaba Joe Cuba, y con esa frase condensó el espíritu de la salsa. Un son para bailar, para evadirse, para unirse a los compatriotas lejos de la tierra natal. Y aquí está su historia, la de la verdadera música popular que no es folclore, sino el sonido de la calle y del pueblo, con el vigor y la fuerza de artistas como Rubén Blades, Celia Cruz, las Estrellas de la Fania, Willie Colón, La Lupe y docenas de grandes personajes más que se analizan y celebran en este libro.

The Creative South

Autor: Andrea Acri , Peter Sharrock

Número de Páginas: 381

This edited volume programmatically reconsiders the creative contribution of the littoral and insular regions of Maritime Asia to shaping new paradigms in the Buddhist and Hindu art and architecture of the mediaeval Asian world. Far from being a mere southern conduit for the maritime circulation of Indic religions, in the period from ca. the 7th to the 14th century those regions transformed across mainland and island polities the rituals, icons, and architecture that embodied these religious insights with a dynamism that often eclipsed the established cultural centres in Northern India, Central Asia, and mainland China. This collective body of work brings together new research aiming to recalibrate the importance of these innovations in art and architecture, thereby highlighting the cultural creativity of the monsoon-influenced Southern rim of the Asian landmass. "Although Maritime Asia in mediaeval times was not as densely populated as the agrarian hinterland, Asia’s coasts were highly urbanized. The region from southern India to south China was a heterogeneous blend of cultures, leavened with a strong interest in trade. This cosmopolitan society afforded plentiful...

Anahita

Autor: Manya Saadi-nejad

Número de Páginas: 265

Anahita was the most important goddess of pre-Islamic Iran. From her roots as an ancient Indo-European water deity her status was unrivalled by any other Iranian goddess throughout the course of three successive Iranian empires over a period of a thousand years. The first scholarly book on Anahita, this study reconstructs the Indo-European water goddess through a comparison of Celtic, Slavic, Armenian and Indo-Iranian myths and rituals. Anahita's constantly-evolving description and functions are then traced through the written and iconographic records of Iranian societies from the Achaemenid period onwards, including but not limited to the Zoroastrian texts and the inscriptions and artistic representations of the great pre-Islamic Iranian empires. The study concludes by tracing survival of the goddess in Islamic Iran, as seen in new Persian literature and popular rituals. Manya Saadi-nejad demonstrates the close relationship between Iranian mythology and that of other Indo-European peoples, and the significant cultural continuities from Iran's pre-Islamic period into the Islamic present.

Ancient Historiography on War and Empire

Autor: Timothy Howe , Sabine Müller , Richard Stoneman

Número de Páginas: 212

In the ancient Greek-speaking world, writing about the past meant balancing the reporting of facts with shaping and guiding the political interests and behaviours of the present. Ancient Historiography on War and Empire shows the ways in which the literary genre of writing history developed to guide empires through their wars. Taking key events from the Achaemenid Persian, Athenian, Macedonian and Roman ‘empires’, the 17 essays collected here analyse the way events and the accounts of those events interact. Subjects include: how Greek historians assign nearly divine honours to the Persian King; the role of the tomb cult of Cyrus the Founder in historical narratives of conquest and empire from Herodotus to the Alexander historians; warfare and financial innovation in the age of Philip II and his son, Alexander the Great; the murders of Philip II, his last and seventh wife Kleopatra, and her guardian, Attalos; Alexander the Great’s combat use of eagle symbolism and divination; Plutarch’s juxtaposition of character in the Alexander-Caesar pairing as a commentary on political legitimacy and military prowess, and Roman Imperial historians using historical examples of good and...

Vivir en el límite

Autor: Rogério Haesbaert

Número de Páginas: 383

En un mundo marcado por discursos de inseguridad, políticas e incluso guerras "preventivas", donde el capital mismo se alimenta de especulaciones sobre "riesgos futuros", el presente se vive a menudo como si estuviéramos permanentemente "en el límite", en las fronteras. Es en este sentido que el territorio y los controles territoriales se vuelven más complejos, generando situaciones ambivalentes en las que el interior y el exterior, lo legal y lo ilegal no se distinguen claramente. Los intentos de contener los flujos en un mundo de tránsito entre múltiples territorios y, al mismo tiempo, las perspectivas de contornear estas barreras de contención y resistir se discuten en este libro, en un diálogo que parte de la Geografía Humana/Política y se expande a otros campos disciplinares.

CRACK99: The Takedown of a $100 Million Chinese Software Pirate

Autor: David Locke Hall

Número de Páginas: 216

The utterly gripping story of the most outrageous case of cyber piracy prosecuted by the U.S. Department of Justice. A former U.S. Navy intelligence officer, David Locke Hall was a federal prosecutor when a bizarre-sounding website, CRACK99, came to his attention. It looked like Craigslist on acid, but what it sold was anything but amateurish: thousands of high-tech software products used largely by the military, and for mere pennies on the dollar. Want to purchase satellite tracking software? No problem. Aerospace and aviation simulations? No problem. Communications systems designs? No problem. Software for Marine One, the presidential helicopter? No problem. With delivery times and customer service to rival the world’s most successful e-tailers, anybody, anywhere—including rogue regimes, terrorists, and countries forbidden from doing business with the United States—had access to these goods for any purpose whatsoever. But who was behind CRACK99, and where were they? The Justice Department discouraged potentially costly, risky cases like this, preferring the low-hanging fruit that scored points from politicians and the public. But Hall and his colleagues were determined to...

The Art of History

Autor: Vasileios Liotsakis , Scott T. Farrington

Número de Páginas: 312

A significant trend in the study of Greek and Roman historiographers is to accept that their works are to a degree both science and fiction. As scholarly interest broadens, in addition to evaluating ancient historians on the basis of the reliability of the information they record, and verifying the narratives against various elements of the material (inscriptions, excavations, numismatics), new studies are beginning to elaborate on the stylistic and narrative qualities of the texts themselves. The present volume offers a fine collection of essays that on the whole emphasize the literary dimensions of the ancient Greek and Roman historians. Offering narratological, linguistic, and theoretical approaches to historiography, the contributors of the book elaborate on the intersections between historiography and other literary genres, the literary manipulation of military events and the criteria of selectivity, the reception of ancient historical texts in other genres, time and space in historical narrative, and plenty of other relevant topics. The shared belief of the authors is that there is a close interrelation between the literary features and the scientific value of ancient Greek...
