Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apart from collective memories of lived experiences, much of the modern world’s historical sense comes from written sources stored in the archives of the world, and some scholars in the not-so-distant past have described unlettered civilizations as “peoples without history.” In Praise of the Ancestors is a revisionist interpretation of early colonial accounts that reveal incongruities in accepted knowledge about three Native groups. Susan Elizabeth Ramírez reevaluates three case studies of oral traditions using positional inheritance—a system in which names and titles are inherited from one generation by another and thereby contribute to the formation of collective memories and a group identity. Ramírez begins by examining positional inheritance and perpetual kinship among the Kazembes in central Africa from the eighteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. Next, her analysis moves to the Native groups of the Iroquois Confederation and their practice of using names to memorialize remarkable leaders in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Finally, Ramírez surveys naming practices of the Andeans, based on sixteenth-century manuscript sources and later testimonies found in Spanish and Andean archives, questioning colonial narratives by documenting the use of this alternative system of memory perpetuation, which was initially unrecognized by the Spaniards. In the process of reexamining the histories of Native peoples on three continents, Ramírez broaches a wider issue: namely, understanding of the nature of knowledge as fundamental to understanding and evaluating the knowledge itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The open access publication of this book has been made possible thanks to the International Institute of Social History – Amsterdam. Potosí (today Bolivia) was the major supplier for the Spanish Empire and for the world and still today boasts the world's single-richest silver deposit. This book explores the political economy of silver production and circulation illuminating a vital chapter in the history of global capitalism. It travels through geology, sacred spaces, and technical knowledge in the first section; environmental history and labor in the second section; silver flows, the heterogeneous world of mining producers, and their agency in the third; and some of the local, regional, and global impacts of Potosí mining in the fourth section. The main focus is on the establishment of a complex infrastructure at the site, its major changes over time, and the new human and environmental landscape that emerged for the production of one of the world ́s major commodities: silver. Eleven authors from different countries present their most recent research based on years of archival research, providing the readers with cutting-edge scholarship. Contributors are: Julio Aguilar, James Almeida, Rossana Barragán Romano, Mariano A. Bonialian, Thérèse Bouysse-Cassagne, Kris Lane, Tristan Platt, Renée Raphael, Masaki Sato, Heidi V. Scott, and Paula C. Zagalsky.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From majestic Amazonian macaws and highland Andean hawks to tiny colorful tanagers and tall flamingos, birds and their feathers played an important role in the Inka empire. Claudia Brosseder uncovers the many meanings that Inkas attached to the diverse fowl of the Amazon, the eastern Andean foothills, and the highlands. She shows how birds and feathers shaped Inka politics, launched wars, and initiated peace. Feathers provided protection against unpredictable enemies, made possible communication with deities, and brought an imagined Inka past into a political present. Richly textured contexts of feathered objects recovered from Late Horizon archaeological records and from sixteenth- and seventeenth-century accounts written by Spanish interlocutors enable new insights into Inka visions of interspecies relationships, an Inka ontology, and Inka views of the place of the human in their ecology. Inka Bird Idiom invites reconsideration of the deep intellectual ties that connected the Amazon and the mountain forests with the Andean highlands and the Pacific coast.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La tragedia de Sófocles Antígona ha sido objeto de innumerables versiones, interpretaciones y traducciones a lo largo de la historia de la cultura occidental. La acción de la joven hija de Edipo que entierra a su hermano Polinices a pesar de la expresa prohibición real, la rebeldía de una mujer que arrastra consigo la turbulenta historia de su linaje, ha permitido replantear cuestiones esenciales de la existencia humana todavía vigentes. Antígona alumbra aún hoy problemas tales como la cuestión del derecho al duelo –allí donde hay todavía muertos sin enterrar o desaparecidos a los que no les ha sido restituida su dignidad simbólica–, experiencias como la muerte del otro, así como la decisión de la muerte propia consentida, la cuestión tan debatida hoy en torno a la fraternidad como cimiento de lo común, y aun la temática del género que las filosofías feministas de la diferencia se hanpropuesto repensar a partir de esta obstinada figura. Los textos que constituyen el presente volumen tratan de dar cuenta de las diversas aproximaciones que la tragedia de Antígona ha suscitado.

Book excerpt: Recoge, en un estudio pionero, la influencia que la obra de Cervantes ha tenido y tiene sobre la literatura y la cultura anglosajona en su conjunto. Esta influencia ha impregnado todos los movimientos literarios y ha tenido una evidente repercusión en el desarrollo de la novela en las Islas Británicas y al otro lado del Atlántico. La colaboración de especialistas de diferentes ámbitos académicos (literatura, traducción, cine, música, etc.), y de procedencias dispares (España, Reino Unido y Estados Unidos) confiere un marcado carácter interdisciplinar a esta obra, que abarca todos los elementos que la obra de Don Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra aportó al mundo anglosajón, sobre todo a traves de dos arquetipos inmortales: Don Quijote y Sancho Panza.La obra se divide en cinco grandes bloques temáticos, en los que se presenta de forma detallada la evolución que ha experimentado la influencia del 'Quijote', y de otras obras como 'La Gitanilla', 'El Curioso Impertinente' o 'Viaje del Parnaso', en el teatro, la poesía y la novela, así como en otras disciplinas como son la traducción, el cine y la música.

Book excerpt: Leadership across cultural borders is the new frontier in leadership studies. Increased globalization means leaders are dealing with a variety of cultures in and out of their own countries. Leaders must be experts in understanding what cultural dimensions mean for being effective outside their own comfort zone. Americans in particular are often ill-equipped to understand the cultural complexities for international leadership. In Leadership Peruvian Style, author Tim McIntosh addresses how Peruvians define and practice leadership, providing a model to assist the cross-cultural worker in understanding leadership in both the home and host cultures. McIntoshs findings are based in an empirical study conducted in 2008 that featured focus groups composed of Peruvian citizens. The study results described in Leadership Peruvian Style are not only important for those working in Peru and other parts of Latin America, but also give insight into how to analyze the leadership profile of a particular culture and, in turn, make adjustments in order to be more effective. Through this analysis, McIntosh, who has spent twenty-seven years in leadership in Peru, has contributed to the raising up of a new generation of effective leaders in Latin America.

Es mejor, ser la voz sutíl que atraviese las fronteras, que mustia alma reducida a un espacio. Amar, es no sentir vacío, porque las razones sobran. Como aquel viajero sin saber, lo que el horizonte le depara. La memoria de unos brazos, la dulce insensatez de un amante y ese tictac del reloj que no se detiene. Sovrapponendo le nostre orme sulla coltre della natura. Stando insieme unicamente, anche nella elocuenza del silenzio. Come luci fluttuanti fatte di solo spirito.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro senala y examina el cambio de paradigma experimentado en los ultimos anos por el campo de los estudios de memoria: un giro interseccional y epistemologico que desplaza espacial, temporal e ideologicamente la reflexion inmediata (testimonial) y mediata (transgeneracional) de la simbolizacion retrospectiva de los procesos represivos ocurridos durante las dictaduras civico-militares latinoamericanas, proponiendo trabajar mas alla de la ecuacion victima-victimario-testigo. El campo se revigoriza gracias a la re significacion de la violencia no como un efecto sino como una fundacion, un fenomeno de caracter estructural asociado al colapso del estado democratico en la region, acompanado en varios casos de la vuelta al poder de las derechas mediante "golpes blandos" sostenidos por la narrativa del "sentido comun capitalista". Esta segunda fase neoliberal se materializa en la violencia sistemica sostenida en contra de comunidades y actores (raciales, etnicos, sexuales, de genero y de clase) que son desplazados, precarizados, perseguidos o diezmados por sus resistencias comunitarias al regimen economico que los marginaliza. Sus narrativas y practicas emancipadoras constituyen el foco de este libro y la base del giro epistemologico e interseccional en los estudios de memoria que el libro aborda.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Documento de Aparecida se refiere a las parroquias como el lugar privilegiado en el cual la mayoría de los fieles tiene una experiencia concreta de Cristo y la comunidad eclesial (DAp 170). Señala además, que quienes hacen parte de la comunidad parroquial son responsables de la evangelización de hombres y mujeres de cada ambiente (DAp 171). Por eso, se hace necesario contar con recursos para responder, como es debido, a tan importante misión. El presente libro ofrece un gran apoyo a quienes asumen con responsabilidad su labor parroquial. Aborda los aspectos prácticos que se deben tener en cuenta en el trabajo de las parroquias y ofrece sencillas orientaciones que serán muy útiles a sacerdotes, catequistas y acólitos.

Book excerpt: Stone Free es el cautivador retrato del guitarrista más grande del rock de todos los tiempos en el momento de su ascenso, el primer libro que se centra exclusivamente en el periodo más feliz y productivo en la vida de Jimi Hendrix, los nueve meses que pasó en Londres: era el héroe del swinging London, un icono de la moda, creador de tendencias, el rockero más fascinante de Londres según Mick Jagger y convertido en la estrella más brillante que pisó el escenario del histórico Festival Internacional de Música Pop de Monterey. Esta narración de la deslumbrante transformación del guitarrista proporciona nuevos detalles sobre la personalidad de Hendrix, sus relaciones, sus composiciones, las innovaciones que introdujo en la guitarra, las grabaciones en el estudio y el lanzamiento de sus discos. Bucea por los recuerdos de músicos, amigos, periodistas, representantes, técnicos de sonido, técnicos de gira y, por supuesto, a través de las palabras del propio Jimi Hendrix.
