Poetas do reencontro
“POETAS DO REENCONTRO é unha irmandade de versos, en linguas galega e portuguesa, na que 75 poetas do panorama actual de ambos países, cada quen fiel ao seu estilo, tratan de amosar ao mundo as súas inquedanzas e sentimentos, un libro único, no que nun abrazo poético, xungue dúas patrias nunha soa matria” (José Carlos Ulloa García); “POETAS DO REENCONTRO” é unha colleita de poesía actual galaico-lusa que recolle as tendencias, tanto do norte como do sur do Miño, entre dúas culturas xemelgas que perduran a través dos séculos e que son como dúas pólas ou ramas da mesma árbore xunguidas por un talo e raices comúns, onde, ademais do reencontro dos poetas e poesía galaico-lusas, o lector destes versos, de temática tan variada, atopará neles, á súa vez, un verdadeiro encontro consigo mesmo” (Anxo Boán Rodríguez)
Nomads of the Borneo Rainforest
The Punan societies of Borneo, traditionally nomadic rainforest hunters and gatherers, have undergone a transformation over the past centuries. As downriver farming peoples expanded upstream and their cultures and technologies diffused, the Punan gradually abandoned their nomadic existence for a more sedentary life of trade-related activities and subsistence agriculture. But the culture that has emerged from these changes is still based on the enduring ideological premises of nomadism. This study, historical in perspective, examines the many factors-ecological, economic, commercial, political, social, cultural, and ideological-that have played a part in this continuing transformation. Foreword by Georges Condominas.
Harquitectes
The architecture studio HARQUITECTES was established in 2000 and based in Sabadell, Barcelona. It is managed by four partner architects: David Lorente Ibáñez, Josep Ricart Ulldemolins, Xavier Ros Majó and Roger Tudó Galí. They have lectured all over Europe and America, and their works have been recognized with several awards and selected for exhibitions at home and abroad. They have addressed the parlous Spanish economy by adapting their work to any type of commission, from public buildings - such as schools and university facilities - to single-family houses. This publication represents the first comprehensive monograph on their work.
Conix Architects
The Belgian architecture firm Conix was founded in 1979 and has, in nearly three decades led by Christine Conix, architect Sylvie Bruyninckx and interior designer An Steylaerts, grown to a staff of 55. No other firm is as widely represented along the quays of Antwerp, but that accomplishment doesn't convey the exceptional diversity of their projects, both residential and business. In recent years, Conix has received a great deal of international attention for one project in particular: the just-completed renovation of the midcentury design landmark, the Atomium, in Brussels, a replica of an atom that stands more than 300 feet high, with a different space in each 60-foot sphere, from a children's museum to a restaurant. "Conix Architecten" features an exceptionally sleek interior design and the book's pages are even edged in silver. With special emphasis on the Atomium, it features a selection of outstanding recent projects in 200 illustrations.
Looking at Iberia
This collection of new essays focuses on key questions within the rapidly growing field of Iberian studies. From a comparative European perspective, the essays question the concept of 'Iberian' itself, query its suitability as a starting point for research and consider it in relation to more established concepts and identities.
Revisiting Centres and Peripheries in Iberian Studies
Like its predecessor and companion volume New Journeys in Iberian Studies, this volume gathers fresh and emerging research in a range of sub-fields of Iberian studies from an international range of established academics and early career researchers. The book provides rich evidence of the breadth and depth of new research being carried out in the dynamic field of Iberian studies at present. As the title suggests, a strong thread running through the collection is concerned with investigating the multiple spaces of tension between the centre and periphery that comprise the Iberian cultural system. Topically, the current situation in Catalonia naturally comes to the fore in a number of chapters and from a range of perspectives. However, in the revisiting of a range of cultural products and historical processes undertaken by the contributors, it can be seen that transoceanic postcolonial relations are not neglected and concerns with history, memory and fiction also weave their way through their work.
The Routledge Companion to Iberian Studies
This book provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art account of the field, reaffirming Iberian Studies as a dynamic and evolving discipline offering promising areas of future research. It is an essential tool for research in Iberian Studies.
A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula
A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula is the second comparative history of a new subseries with a regional focus, published by the Coordinating Committee of the International Comparative Literature Association. As its predecessor for East-Central Europe, this two-volume history distances itself from traditional histories built around periods and movements, and explores, from a comparative viewpoint, a space considered to be a powerful symbol of inter-literary relations. Both the geographical pertinence and its symbolic condition are obviously discussed, when not even contested. Written by an international team of researchers who are specialists in the field, this history is the first attempt at applying a comparative approach to the plurilingual and multicultural literatures in the Iberian Peninsula. The aim of comprehensiveness is abandoned in favor of a diverse and extensive array of key issues for a comparative agenda. A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula undermines the primacy claimed for national and linguistic boundaries, and provides a geo-cultural account of literary inter-systems which cannot otherwise be explained.
Challenging Memories and Rebuilding Identities
Taking an original approach, Challenging Memories and Rebuilding Identities: Literary and Artistic Voices that undo the Lusophone Atlantic explores a selected body of cultural works from Portugal, Brazil and Lusophone Africa. Contributors from various fields of expertise examine the ways contemporary writers, artists, directors, and musicians explore canonical forms in visual arts, cinema, music and literature, and introduce innovation in their narratives, at the same time they discuss the social and historical context they belong to.
