from within. He is happy just the way he is. One day,

though, he loses his inner harmony and, along with

it, his peaceful, unhurried nature.

Beautiful Griselda had truly a killing beauty.

No man could help but, literally, lose his

head for her. Thus she was always alone in her pal-

ace. One day, tired of loneliness, Griselda invited a

somewhat myopic prince to visit in the hope that

he would not be aware of her mortal beauty… un-

til, as everyone around gaped in amazement, he too

was beheaded. Beautiful Princess Griselda remains

at the mercy of her own misfortune in all but the

briefest of meetings.

Isol (Buenos Aires, ) illustrates, writes and designs

her own books. She collaborates in several journals and is

a poet, comic book creator, artist and singer. She’s one of

France was the first place to host the Spanish exiles during

the Spanish Civil War, especially in the Mid-Pyrenean

city of Toulouse. There, in June , one of the most unique

and relevant publications of the Spanish in exile, L’Espagne

Républicain, was released. This political and literary journal

faithfully recorded events and became the interpreter of the

dreams and hopes of the thousands of exiles longing for the

restoration of a democratic regime in Spain. The unique na-

ture of the newspaper lay in its non-partisan disposition, as it

never served as the mouthpiece of any of the political parties

or mass organizations of the Republican world in exile.

• This is the first monograph to examine L’Espagne Républicaine in depth

• Reveals a journalistic universe key to the identity of the Spanish exile

Los orígenes del poder en Mesoamérica centers on the po-

velopment of the people who inhabited the territory of present

day Mexico before the arrival of the Spanish. This book deals

with the formation of the state since its first appearance in

the Pre-Classical period until its abrupt fall in . The au-

thor explores the origin of power in the realms of the Mayan,

Teotihuacan and Mexica peoples, and in the formation of

the kingdom of Tula and the saga of Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl.

Richly illustrated, the book includes photographs and draw-

ings by Justin Kerr, Felipe Dávalos, Jorge Pérez de Lara and

• ‘Florescano’s journey through the centuries before the arrival of the Spanish is an effort to decipher the symbolic content of the political world of the Pre-Columbian peoples.

of Dolores Castro is apparent in her careful observation

of nature. As in the monumental, so also in minimal possi-

bilities, in reflective surfaces that allow for the arduous task of

self-reflection. In the sea, the wind, the sky, the trees with their

trunks, branches and fruits, the poet discovers and shapes her

own interior landscape, where being alive is, at once, a cause

for great joy and melancholy.

Dolores Castro (Aguascalientes, ) is a renowned

poet and a distinguished literary critic who teaches at unam.

She was part of los Ocho Poetas, the Eight Poets, alongside

Rosario Castellanos, Efrén Hernández, Alejandro Avilés and

Roberto Cabral del Hoyo, among others.

If poetry is the forceful transformation of time

into eternity, it is even more so in the poetry of

Enriqueta Ochoa. Since Las urgencias de un Dios

first appeared in , Ochoa has dedicated herself

to delving into the confines of the soul where dark-

ness and pain dwell. The works compiled here unveil

a serene language that, far removed from men, con-

verses with the unspeakable. In a world where reason

has colonized our thinking, Ochoa’s poetry redeems

a rare spiritual significance.

Enriqueta Ochoa was born in Torreón in . She is the author of

Las urgencias de un Dios (), Los himnos del ciego (), Las vírgenes

terrestres (), Retorno de Electra (), Canción de Moisés (), Bajo

el oro pequeño de los trigos (, ), Asaltos a la memoria () and Los

días delirantes (unpublished). She is a dedicated journalist and has taught in

various national and international universities.

The texts in this book are difficult to classify: somewhere

between the genres of short story and novella, different

protagonists disrupt the reality filtering their fears, fantasies,

and delirious visions. Clear, concise prose without grandiose

pretensions, La noche caníbal shows the author’s narrative ma-

turity and his preference for fantasy and science fiction atmo-

spheres that recall Jorge Luis Borges, or Philip K. Dick.

Luis Jorge Boone was born in Monclova, Coahuila, in . He

is a poet, narrator, and essayist who has contributed to magazines,

such as Letras Libres, Luvina, Voz Otra and Tierra Adentro. He’s the

Bernardo Esquinca’s tale—part psychological

thriller, part detective story and part erotic

dream—follows simultaneously a crime photogra-

pher obsessed with turning his work into art and

a beauty clinic that continues to thrive despite its

substandard practices. The two stories run parallel

with minor overlaps until they reach a mutual sinis-

ter climax. One question lurks unanswered behind

the narrative: What are we willing to do for a slice

of the sublime?

His tales are a record of the adventures and the

dilemmas of childhood. His great ability to change

narrative voices and his masterful handling of diverse

perspectives are just some of the elements that con-

tribute to the force of reality in these three stories. A

child’s perspective, in the hands of López Páez, is not

only a valuable source of imagination but also the

re-creation of a frame of mind that will trap anyone

who ventures to enter the realm of memory.

Jorge López Páez was born in Huatusco, Veracruz in . Upon

moving to Mexico City, he studied law and earned a BA in English

Literature. López Páez has worked at unam where he has a creative

writing workshop. He is also a member of the National System of

kept alive a passion for the art and culture of Mexico, before

she committed suicide in the Cathedral of Nôtre Dame in

Paris while still in her youth.

Antonin Artaud’s mysteriously discreet visit to Mexico in

challenge for scholars, who now and again revive the hope of dig-

ging up unpublished documents, or encountering unknown tes-

timonies that will clarify and materialize his presence in Mexico.

Fabienne Bradu reconstructs a conversation sustained through

the correspondence of Guatemalan poet Luis Cardoza y Aragón

and Paule Thévenin—who edited Artaud’s complete works at

Gallimard—in which letters compose a mirror reflecting the out-

line of the French author in Mexico.

literature and linguistics, and is presented in nearly every genre including

chronicles, stories, poetry, criticism and essays.

Suffice it to say that there are different ways of ‘doing phi-

losophy’ prevalent on either side of the English Channel.

Becoming aware of the difference is crucial to any understand-

ing of contemporary philosophy. More disconcerting is that, in

this divergence, there aren’t normally explicit confrontations.

Most philosophers, whether analytical or continental, get to

neglect the contributions of the other side. Fortunately there

are exceptions. This book presents one of them: the failed de-

bate between John Searle and Jacques Derrida in the late s

over the theory of the act of speech of John L. Austin.

Jesús Navarro Reyes () is professor of

Philosophy at the University of Seville. He has

been visiting researcher at several universities,

is followed for merely historical reasons.

He replaces the traditional method with a

more intuitive order, where problems and

solutions serve as a background to increas-

ingly complex issues.

This book is the result of a reflection on science as a human

and social action, and not only as a tool for gaining knowl-

edge. Science is the product of human endeavor and, as such,

a wide avenue is opened for the study of its development. The

moral and political dimensions of science and the involvement

of both in all of the activities of society, create together their own

language and thus affect aspects of science related to its didactics,

and aesthetics.

This book presents the historical and philosophical foun-

dations of an expanded concept of the philosophy of science.

Readers are invited to address the scientific culture from a per-

spective closer to their own interests and concerns, that is, closer

to their own pursuit of happiness.

1st ed., fce-Colombia, 2010128 pp.

13.5 × 21 cm (5.3 × 8.3 in)Series: Sociología. Subjects: Culture, World Heritage, Latin America


About million people in Latin America entered the

twenty-first century in poverty. This situation, which

could be called a disaster, is not far removed from all of the

varied tales of Latin-American independence. The principles

of equality and privilege were represented in assumed owner-

ship by a small group of aristocrats who concentrated land in

their own hands and dominated the fields of economics and

politics.

This book demonstrates that this pattern of dependency

and exclusion could actually increase. But it also envisions an

alternative Latin America: moving toward a common cultural

space that exceeds discordant interests to build the cooperation

necessary to fight the causes of poverty and against the region’s

tributary position in relation to the global centers of power.

Gonzalo Castellanos V. has been, for more

than a decade, designing cultural management and

finance systems in areas such as cinema, cultural

heritage, publishing, library networks and archives

in many countries in Latin America. He has

counseled governments and ngos throughout

the region.
