Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAVIOTAS, For the recovery of Earth’s skin There is a new start towards the world. One age that Mario Calderon Rivera, outstanding thinker and humanist, called Renaissance in the sense of both the Italian Renaissance as a change of mind of man to himself, and the contemporary one as a change of mind from man towards nature. The Renaissance, led by this brilliant saying of Leonardo da Vinci: "Everything comes from everything, and everything is made out of everything, and everything returns into everything" especially in a round planet. This also comes to be true in Centro "Las Gaviotas" where they achieved, among other things, the reawakening of the Amazon rainforest in the Colombian savannas of Orinoco. There they join the community welfare with the wealth generated by the sustainable use of tropical biodiversity, which, being located in the equatorial zone, has one of the highest rates of biological productivity. Within this context, Mario Calderon, travels through the last 60 years showing the ideas of the human being when he began to reflect on the effects of his action on Earth. They consist of a new attitude towards nature, seeing himself as being part of one system, with it he can coexist without destroying, understanding their connections, i.e. its complexity. Gaviotas age is this way of thinking. The author in honor of Gaviotas and its founder, Paolo Lugari, sets the theoretical foundations of the progress mankind has made in this respect since the last half century. Gaviotas is an example, a path, but at the same time an outpost of a bioculture that makes its way to protect both human life as well as that from others, which ultimately are subjected to the recovery of the vegetable skin of Earth, by the increase in biomass, as this determines the dynamic stability of the composition of the atmosphere of 99%, of nitrogen and oxygen If this composition would be disturbed by the continuing decline in biomass it would make impossible for human life to exist, something much more serious than global warming. Just warming is only a reductionist analysis of the issue. Development is seen now in productive harmony with nature, without undermining the very foundations of civilization. With an extensive knowledge of the authors who have made the ecological thinking trends of our time, Calderón contextualizes Gaviotas in the present world highlighting its conceptual contributions and its innovative achievements, always pointing to a decent lifestyle without denying the modernity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Tropical Aesthetics of Black Modernism, Samantha A. Noël investigates how Black Caribbean and American artists of the early twentieth century responded to and challenged colonial and other white-dominant regimes through tropicalist representation. With depictions of tropical scenery and landscapes situated throughout the African diaspora, performances staged in tropical settings, and bodily expressions of tropicality during Carnival, artists such as Aaron Douglas, Wifredo Lam, Josephine Baker, and Maya Angelou developed what Noël calls “tropical aesthetics”—using art to name and reclaim spaces of Black sovereignty. As a unifying element in the Caribbean modern art movement and the Harlem Renaissance, tropical aesthetics became a way for visual artists and performers to express their sense of belonging to and rootedness in a place. Tropical aesthetics, Noël contends, became central to these artists’ identities and creative processes while enabling them to craft alternative Black diasporic histories. In outlining the centrality of tropical aesthetics in the artistic and cultural practices of Black modernist art, Noël recasts understandings of African diasporic art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From popular fiction to modern biomedicine, the tropics are defined by two essential features: prodigious nature and debilitating illness. That was not always so. In this engaging and imaginative study, Hugh Cagle shows how such a vision was created. Along the way, he challenges conventional accounts of the Scientific Revolution. The history of 'the tropics' is the story of science in Europe's first global empire. Beginning in the late fifteenth century, Portugal established colonies from sub-Saharan Africa to Southeast Asia and South America, enabling the earliest comparisons of nature and disease across the tropical world. Assembling the Tropics shows how the proliferation of colonial approaches to medicine and natural history led to the assemblage of 'the tropics' as a single, coherent, and internally consistent global region. This is a story about how places acquire medical meaning, about how nature and disease become objects of scientific inquiry, and about what is at stake when that happens.

Book excerpt: Giants, cannibals and other monsters were a regular feature of Renaissance illustrated maps, inhabiting the Americas alongside other indigenous peoples. In a new approach to views of distant peoples, Surekha Davies analyzes this archive alongside prints, costume books and geographical writing. Using sources from Iberia, France, the German lands, the Low Countries, Italy and England, Davies argues that mapmakers and viewers saw these maps as careful syntheses that enabled viewers to compare different peoples. In an age when scholars, missionaries, native peoples and colonial officials debated whether New World inhabitants could – or should – be converted or enslaved, maps were uniquely suited for assessing the impact of environment on bodies and temperaments. Through innovative interdisciplinary methods connecting the European Renaissance to the Atlantic world, Davies uses new sources and questions to explore science as a visual pursuit, revealing how debates about the relationship between humans and monstrous peoples challenged colonial expansion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume revisit the Italian Renaissance to rethink spaces thought to be defined and certain: from the social spaces of convent, court, or home, to the literary spaces of established genres such as religious plays or epic poetry. Repopulating these spaces with the women who occupied them but have often been elided in the historical record, the essays also remind us to ask what might obscure our view of texts and archives, what has remained marginal in the texts and contexts of early modern Italy and why. The contributors, suggesting new ways of interrogating gendered discourses of genre, identities, and sanctity, offer a complex picture of gender in early modern Italian literature and culture. Read in dialogue with one another, their pieces provide a fascinating survey of currents in gender studies and early modern Italian studies and point to exciting future directions in these fields.
