Book Description
What future is there for the left, faced with the challenges of the twenty-first century? Based on a lifetime's experience in politics, Marta Harnecker addresses the crisis facing the left today. At its heart, this book is a critique of social democratic realpolitik. Harnecker reminds us that, contrary to today's orthodoxy, politics is not the art of the possible but the art of making the impossible possible by building a social and political force capable of changing reality. She believes that the social experiments being carried out in Latin America today hold out hope that an alternative to capitalism is possible; they are essentially socialist, democratic projects in which the people are the driving force. To create a real alternative to capitalism, though, the left must change. Rebuilding the Left offers real hope to those who still believe that we can create a different world.

Book Description
"El Premio de Ensayo Crítico invitaba a pensar problemas que recorrieran el arte argentino durante los últimos años, también sobre un corpus de obras o exhibiciones realizadas por artistas argentinos en los últimos quince años; estas eran unas proposiciones abiertas que no podría haber emprendido sin meditar antes sobre otras variables que exceden al arte e implican algo más grande. Algo que indecorosamente podría ser llamado mundo. Quería pensar a partir de aquella noche que la escatología cibernética había bautizado Y2K, es decir desde el inicio del siglo. También, percibiendo como André Breton que "la sensibilidad jamás cambia radicalmente", otra cuestión disparó este ensayo: ¿cómo se filtra la modernidad en el arte contemporáneo? Una modernidad entendida como un sistema heterotópico, integrado por manifiestos, vanguardias y retaguardias, técnicas, voluntades subversivas."

Book Description
This is a domain that has undergone a remarkable development in recent years. It is submitted that the right of access to justice belongs today to the domain of jus cogens. Without it, there is no legal system at all. The protection of the human person in the most adverse circumstances has evolved amongst considerations of ordre public. Such recent evolution has been contributing to the gradual expansion of the material content of jus cogens. --

Book Description
“’Piety is not something you talk about, it is something you do,’ writes Elaine Peña towards the beginning of this excellent book—itself a wonderful doing. Peña participates actively as an engaged scholar. This is necessary reading for scholars of religion, performance studies, Latino/a Studies, and popular culture.” —Diana Taylor, author of The Archive and the Repertoire: Performing Cultural Memory in the Americas “Peña provides a major contribution to our understanding of sacred space, of the world of contemporary Mexican migrants, and of the vibrant ways in which Catholics honor the Virgin of Guadalupe. This is an important book about a transnational devotion, a book that powerfully and sympathetically explores how devotees perform piety in often surprising ways.” —Stephen Pitti, author of The Devil in Silicon Valley: Northern California, Race and Mexican Americans “Performing Piety offers a textured and empathetic approach to religion in practice. Peña is a shining example of the materialist turn in the study of religion: religion approached not as decontextualized beliefs or free-floating symbolic systems, but as thoroughly embodied practices embedded in everyday life. This book is clearly on par with the work of Robert Orsi, David Hall, Leigh Schmidt and other distinguished scholars of the ‘lived religion’ school.” —Manuel A. Vásquez, author of More than Belief: A Materialist Theory of Religion

Book Description
This book considers how globalization is impacting contemporary Argentina-via regional trading blocs, through migrations across its borders, and through the emerging transnational border regions that it shares with other Latin American nations. Overshadowing all of these trends is the current crisis brought on by both international financial institutions possessing an increasing say over how the country is run and internal elites trying to use Argentina's integration into the world financial system to their own advantage. Argentina has long imagined itself as a European nation, qualitatively different from its Latin American neighbors. But recent events are forcing it to change its perception of itself. As the size of Argentina's transnational community continues to swell, and as the nation continues its financial and social implosion, Argentinians are being forced to re-imagine the nation as being Latin American, replete with the histories and problems of that part of the world.
