A inicios del 2020 la humanidad fue sorprendida por una pandemia. Para asombro de todo el mundo, un nuevo coronavirus se instaló planetariamente, alterando en profundidad la cotidianeidad, la costumbre, el hábito y la rutina. El golpe fue grande, y las secuelas que dejó esta enfermedad, bautizada como COVID-19, pueden resultar mucho peores. Sobre todo, porque hay otras pandemias paralelas tan viejas de existir y casi invisibilizadas, aunque no se les llame así ni tengan el mismo significado biomédico, pero si están relacionadas a la salud pública y están conectadas al orden social, político, cultural y medio ambiental (genocidio, ecocidio, feminicidio, etc.) debido a la constante negligencia, irresponsabilidad y crueldad de la especie humana y de sus contradicciones, desigualdades y sesgos sociales, económicos y culturales. Para reflexionar sobre todo esto, no solo desde una mirada médico-bio- epidemiológica sino, en términos de una visión y consideración político-social y cultural, y más aún: ético-filosófica-estética trascendental, se presenta este libro titulado “El Antropoceno en Crisis y Otras Tantas Pandemias y Misceláneas”. Aquí se encontrarán 20 textos (la mayoría en español y algunos en inglés) que tratan directa o indirectamente, la cuestión del paradigma antropocénico y antropocéntrico del desarrollo actual en crisis, desde varios puntos de vista narrativos (artículos, ensayos, relatos, entrevistas e historias cortas (con mucha seriedad y con mucho sarcasmo o irreverencia al mismo tiempo); revisando, analizando, describiendo y buscando encontrar algunas respuestas e interrogantes y proponer algunas líneas alternativas a la situación para su posible consideración. Las y los autores de cada uno de los materiales tienen procedencias distintas y somos parte del grupo llamado ‘Perspectivas’, su formación y carrera profesional incluye varias diciplinas (antropología, salud global, salud mental, desarrollo, medicina, psicología, sociología, psicoanálisis, biología, literatura, periodismo, artes plásticas, abogacía, derechos humanos, etc.); su lugar de procedencia y de residencia es diverso (México, Guatemala, Honduras, Chile, Inglaterra, Argentina, Suiza, Canadá, etc.). ¿Por qué no podrían convivir armónicamente ciencia, literatura y otras artes plásticas, profesiones y oficios? La transdisciplinariedad nos marca un camino de conocimientos diversos que al final forman un todo universal. Es una representación y es un reflejo de la vida y el medioambiente en la realidad. La idea es intentar entender la crisis en que vivimos como humanidad a partir del modelo socioeconómico dominante, sensibilizándonos al respecto junto a una toma de posición ético-política-ideológica, buscando las salidas posibles a este empantanamiento que pareciera fagocitarnos, donde solo unos pocos se salvan, y donde las grandes mayorías de población en este planeta no encuentran caminos o alternativas.

'If there were a Nobel Prize in History, Colley would be my nominee' Jill Lepore, New Yorker 'One of the most exciting historians of her generation, but also one of the most interesting writers of non-fiction around' - William Dalrymple, Guardian 'Colley takes you on intellectual journeys you wouldn't think to take on your own, and when you arrive you wonder that you never did it before' - David Aaronovitch, the Times 'A global history of remarkable depth, imagination and insight' Tony Barber, Financial Times Summer Books Starting not with the United States, but with the Corsican constitution of 1755, The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen moves through every continent, disrupting accepted narratives. Both monarchs and radicals play a role, from Catherine the Great of Russia, with her remarkable Nakaz, to Sierra Leone's James Africanus Horton, to Tunisia's Khayr-al-Din, a creator of the first modern Islamic constitution. Throughout, Colley demonstrates how constitutions evolved in tandem with warfare, and how they have functioned to advance empire as well as promote nations, and worked to exclude as well as liberate. Whether reinterpreting Japan's momentous 1889 constitution, or exploring the significance of the first constitution to enfranchise all adult women on Pitcairn Island in the Pacific in 1838, this is one of the most original global histories in decades.

Read this gripping, timely book about the transmission of deadly viruses from animal to human populations, and how we can fight the current Covid-19 pandemic. WITH A NEW AFTERWORD ON CORONAVIRUS As globalization spreads and as we destroy the ancient ecosystems, we encounter strange and dangerous infections that originate in animals but that can be transmitted to humans. Diseases that were contained are being set free and the results are potentially catastrophic. In a journey that takes him from southern China to the Congo, from Bangladesh to Australia, David Quammen tracks these infections to their source, and asks what we can do to prevent some new pandemic spreading across the face of the earth. As we continue to feel the global impact of Covid-19, discover the book that predicted this viral disaster and the science that could stop the next one in its tracks.

This contributed volume contains fourteen papers based on selected presentations from the European Conference on Game Theory SING11-GTM 2015, held at Saint Petersburg State University in July 2015, and the Networking Games and Management workshop, held at the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Petrozvavodsk, Russia, also in July 2015. These papers cover a wide range of topics in game theory, including recent advances in areas with high potential for future work, as well as new developments on classical results. Some of these include A new approach to journal ranking using methods from social choice theory; A differential game of a duopoly in which two firms are competing for market share in an industry with network externalities; The impact of information propagation in the model of tax audits; A voting model in which the results of previous votes can affect the process of coalition formation in a decision-making body; The Selten-Szidarovsky technique for the analysis of Nash equilibria of games with an aggregative structure; Generalized nucleoli and generalized bargaining sets for games with restricted cooperation; Bayesian networks and games of deterrence; and A new look at the study of solutions for games in partition function form. The maturity and vitality of modern-day game theory are reflected in the new ideas, novel applications, and contributions of young researchers represented in this collection. It will be of interest to anyone doing theoretical research in game theory or working on one its numerous applications.

From Music to Sound is an examination of the six musical histories whose convergence produces the emergence of sound, offering a plural, original history of new music and showing how music had begun a change of paradigm, moving from a culture centred on the note to a culture of sound. Each chapter follows a chronological progression and is illustrated with numerous musical examples. The chapters are composed of six parallel histories: timbre, which became a central category for musical composition; noise and the exploration of its musical potential; listening, the awareness of which opens to the generality of sound; deeper and deeper immersion in sound; the substitution of composing the sound for composing with sounds; and space, which is progressively viewed as composable. The book proposes a global overview, one of the first of its kind, since its ambition is to systematically delimit the emergence of sound. Both well-known and lesser-known works and composers are analysed in detail; from Debussy to contemporary music in the early twenty-first century; from rock to electronica; from the sound objects of the earliest musique concrète to current electroacoustic music; from the Poème électronique of Le Corbusier-Varèse-Xenakis to the most recent inter-arts attempts. Covering theory, analysis and aesthetics, From Music to Sound will be of great interest to scholars, professionals and students of Music, Musicology, Sound Studies and Sonic Arts. Supporting musical examples can be accessed via the online Routledge Music Research Portal.

Artists, filmmakers, art historians, poets, literary critics, anthropologists, theorists, and others, investigate one of the most vital areas of cultural practice: documentary. Contemporary engagements with documentary are multifaceted and complex, reaching across disciplines to explore the intersections of politics and aesthetics, representation and reality, truth and illusion. Discarding the old notions of “fly on the wall” immediacy or quasi-scientific aspirations to objectivity, critics now understand documentary not as the neutral picturing of reality but as a way of coming to terms with reality through images and narrative. This book collects writings by artists, filmmakers, art historians, poets, literary critics, anthropologists, theorists, and others, to investigate one of the most vital areas of cultural practice: documentary. Their investigations take many forms—essays, personal memoirs, interviews, poetry. Contemporary art turned away from the medium and toward the world, using photography and the moving image to take up global perspectives. Documentary filmmakers, meanwhile, began to work in the gallery context. The contributors consider the hybridization of art and film, and the “documentary turn” of contemporary art. They discuss digital technology and the “crisis of faith” caused by manipulation and generation of images, and the fading of the progressive social mandate that has historically characterized documentary. They consider invisible data and visible evidence; problems of archiving; and surveillance and biometric control, forms of documentation that call for “informatic opacity” as a means of evasion.

"Is your mother good?" "Are you good?" "Do you want to come live with me?" Inuit adults often playfully present small children with difficult, even dangerous, choices and then dramatize the consequences of the child's answers. They are enacting in larger-than-life form the plots that drive Inuit social life--testing, acting out problems, entertaining themselves, and, most of all, bringing up their children. In a riveting narrative, psychological anthropologist Jean L. Briggs takes us through six months of dramatic interactions in the life of Chubby Maata, a three-year-old girl growing up in a Baffin Island hunting camp. The book examines the issues that engaged the child--belonging, possession, love--and shows the process of her growing. Briggs questions the nature of "sharedness" in culture and assumptions about how culture is transmitted. She suggests that both cultural meanings and strong personal commitment to one's world can be (and perhaps must be) acquired not by straightforwardly learning attitudes, rules, and habits in a dependent mode but by experiencing oneself as an agent engaged in productive conflict in emotionally problematic situations. Briggs finds that dramatic play is an essential force in Inuit social life. It creates and supports values; engenders and manages attachments and conflicts; and teaches and maintains an alert, experimental, constantly testing approach to social relationships.
