Periódico Tierra
"Este libro surge de la investigación titulada: “Periódico Tierra: análisis estético, gráfico e histórico de los discursos visuales que circularon en la prensa obrera colombiana entre 1928 y 1939”, proyecto que convocó a investigadores de la Universidad de Bogotá Jorge Tadeo Lozano y de la Universidad Santo Tomás y que se enfocó en estudiar los fenómenos de producción, circulación y consumo de la publicación periódica Tierra, vigente en Colombia entre 1928 y 1939. Dichos fenómenos se articularon con el análisis de los discursos visuales que fueron creados para el periódico y que tienen una relación estrecha, tanto ideológica como política, con el Partido Comunista Co...
Star system y la mujer: representaciones de lo femenino en Colombia de 1930 a 1940
Este libro surgió de procesos vinculados con dos investigaciones relacionadas con la historia del diseño gráfico en Colombia: "Cartel ilustrado en Colombia: década 1930-1940" y "Los heraldos: el poder cultural a través de la gráfica", ambas del Programa de Diseño Gráfico de la Fundación Universidad de Bogotá Jorge Tadeo Lozano. En dichos trabajos, como coinvestigadora, abordé la imagen desde la mirada del diseño; no obstante, a medida que adelantaba los estudios me enfrenté a una serie de interrogantes sobre la construcción de lo femenino, de las subjetividades y su relación con la producción de discursos visuales propios del diseño gráfico en una época en la que el proceso de modernización del país estaba claramente cimentándose. Por otro lado, desde el contexto histórico —década del treinta—que se trabajó en las dos investigaciones citadas, encontré elementos de análisis en donde se articulaban de forma directa el contexto, la producción de discursos visuales y la construcción de conceptos idealizados sobre lo femenino en Colombia.
Converso Non-Conformism in Early Modern Spain
This book examines the effects of Jewish conversions to Christianity in late medieval Spanish society. Ingram focuses on these converts and their descendants (known as conversos) not as Judaizers, but as Christian humanists, mystics and evangelists, who attempt to create a new society based on quietist religious practice, merit, and toleration. His narrative takes the reader on a journey from the late fourteenth-century conversions and the first blood purity laws (designed to marginalize conversos), through the early sixteenth-century Erasmian and radical mystical movements, to a Counter-Reformation environment in which conversos become the advocates for pacifism and concordance. His account ends at the court of Philip IV, where growing intolerance towards Madrid’s converso courtiers is subtly attacked by Spain’s greatest painter, Diego Velázquez, in his work, Los Borrachos. Finally, Ingram examines the historiography of early modern Spain, in which he argues the converso reform phenomenon continues to be underexplored.
Historical Dictionary of the Dirty Wars
This second edition of Historical Dictionary of 'The Dirty Wars' focuses on the period 1954-1990 in South America, when authoritarian regimes waged war on subversion, both real and imagined. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 400 cross-referenced dictionary entries on the countries; guerrilla and political movements; prominent guerrilla, human-rights, military, and political figures; local, regional, and international human-rights organizations; and artistic figures (filmmakers, novelists, and playwrights) whose works attempt to represent or resist the period of repression.
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

The Aztec Eagles
Few would list Mexico as an ally of the US during the Second World War. Sadly, Mexico s aid to the US has been largely ignored by historians and is mostly absent from American history books. When Mexican aviators had the opportunity to show their courage in battle, they did so with valour. General Douglas MacArthur commended the pilots and 150 support personnel. The thirty-one pilots of Mexican Expeditionary Force 201st Fighter Squadron flew missions supporting troops in the Philippines and sorties over Formosa. The Aztec Eagles helped the Allies defeat Japan, end the isolationism of Mexico and paved the way for important agreements between the United States and Mexico. They helped modernise the Mexican Air Force and demonstrated that Mexico could mount a successful expeditionary force. Significant as these achievements were, perhaps the unit s most important legacy is that the Aztec Eagles fought for dignity, creating pride throughout their homeland. That pride endures and is evident today as the story of the Aztec Eagles can be heard across the nation.
