Para Giacometti, ser artista es fracasar como nadie se atreve a hacerlo, mientras que para Goethe, el no poder acabar su obra es lo que engrandece a un escritor. La obra perfecta está únicamente en la cabeza del artista. La insatisfacción es la esencia y la naturaleza íntima del talento, y la obra, el poema o el libro, sean como fueren, siempre podrían haber sido diferentes de como han llegado a ser.Miguel Ángel Ortiz Albero rastrea en la obra de escritores como Baudelaire, Cioran, Kafka, Sebald o Vila-Matas, y de artistas como Boltanski, Cézanne o Delacroix, la posibilidad de reflexionar acerca de cuándo podía darse por finalizado, si es que esto fuese posible, el proceso de un trabajo creador. Todos aquellos que han cogido una máquina de escribir o un pincel, quienes han esbozado un gesto en el aire o han esculpido la roca, o aquellos que han decidido hilvanar un discurso, todo ellos han soñado al inicio con el resultado perfecto, con la obra ideal que habría de ajustarse a sus a

Este libro es un viaje que emprendemos a la búsqueda del secreto de la creatividad y que se divide en dos etapas. En la primera, más teórica, sobrevolamos una serie de investigaciones ajenas en torno al concepto de creatividad. En la segunda nos zambullimos en magníficos trabajos de diseño e ilustración mientras nos acompaña el lejano eco de las reflexiones de sus autores. Para ello los creadores nos han abierto sus cuadernos, sus mentes y en alguna medida sus almas. Como no puede ser de otra manera, dejamos que cada uno de ellos lleve el timón libremente y durante el tiempo necesario. Las personas creativas, como veremos, poseen una fuerte personalidad y gran determinación, pero necesitan libertad y un trato afectuoso. Por eso unos prefieren surcar mares profundos, viajes peligrosos alejados de tierra a merced de los vientos, y otros se decantan por viajes breves y placenteros junto a la costa. El lector, seguro, disfrutará con la variedad del viaje.

Symbolically, the quintessential English feudal monarch is King Arthur, but stories of Charlemagne and his Knights'' quests throughout Christian Europe had a much wider impact. Amidst the chaos and violence of Europe in the eighth century, Charlemagne became king of the Franks and slowly established an empire the likes of which had not been seen since the days of the Romans. As Charlemange''s power grew, so did the stories attached to his name. This book explores the myths and legends of the great king Charlemagne, from the stories about his mother, Bertha Bigfoot, and his youthful adventures with the thief, Basin, to his fantastical journeys to Jerusalem and Constantinople. It also retells the stories of his most famous knights, the Paladins. These brave warriors were all heroes in their own right, and included many famous names such as Roland, Ogier the Dane, Oliver, Archbishop Turpin, and Renault of Montalban who rode the famous steed, Bayard. Together with his Paladins,

El presente libro propone una novedosa interpretación de Lecturas españolas (1912), Clásicos y modernos (1913), Los valores literarios (1914) y Al margen de los clásicos (1915), cuatro obras del escritor José Martínez Ruiz, Azorín, dedicadas fundamentalmente al ejercicio de la crítica literaria. Después de unos años enfrascado en la tarea de comentar casi a diario la actualidad política española en periódicos como ABC, Diario de Barcelona o El Pueblo Vasco, Azorín retomará la que fue sin duda su ocupación predilecta. Con la publicación de estas cuatro obras (también conocidas como tetralogía crítica), el escritor de Monóvar se propondrá sentar las bases de una nueva identidad nacional, de un nuevo ser español (Volksgeist) capaz de satisfacer las demandas de modernidad de las nuevas generaciones y de aportar valores y modelos dignos de imitación para el futuro. Así lo había manifestado en la nota introductoria a Lecturas españolas, al reconocer explícitamente que le había guiado una cur

La realidad y la fantasía, lo que parece imposible introducido en nuestra vida cotidiana, desde el comienzo en una mina de Linares con reminiscencias de los sueños más perversos de Potocki o Nieva, hasta los amores de Jack Lemmon y Shirley MacLaine en las calles de París, se entrecruzan en Extraña noche en Linares. Nuestra vida se enreda en la de Tamara de Lempick, François Truffaut mientras rueda 451 Fahrenheit o en el amor naciente de dos estudiantes en una manifestación en Václavské Námêstí, en una Praga que quiere ser revolucionaria.

Afirma en el prólogo el escritor José Manuel Fernández Arguelles, "como todas las obras que pretenden trascender, busca lo sublime." En este

The authors use a variety of theoretical perspectives to explore the diversity of global constitutional experience in a post-1989 world prominently marked by momentous transitions from authoritarianism to democracy, by multiple constitutional revolutions and devolutions, by the increased penetration of international law into national jurisdictions, and by the enhancement of supra-national institutions of governance.

Foucault’s late work on biopolitics and governmentality has established him as the fundamental thinker of contemporary continental political thought and as a privileged source for our current understanding of neoliberalism and its technologies of power. In this volume, an international and interdisciplinary group of Foucault scholars examines his ideas of biopower and biopolitics and their relation to his project of a history of governmentality and to a theory of the subject found in his last courses at the College de France. Many of the chapters engage critically with the Italian theoretical reception of Foucault. At the same time, the originality of this collection consists in the variety of perspectives and traditions of reception brought to bear upon the problematic connections between biopolitics and governmentality established by Foucault’s last works.

In the monograph with the title Premonition, Miguel Rothschild (*1963) presents a selection of works from his two most recent series. The Berlin-based, Argentine artist occupies himself in them with spirits and the apocalypse. The mystically connoted photographs of skies and forests are given a second level — in terms of both content and the visual — by means of burn holes. Here, the spirits of the forest ascend between the treetops, there it is a baroque or romantic sky that receives these demonic and at the same time alluring souls. Rothschild’s ambiguous visions prompt us to interrogate our relationship to nature.

2019 James Beard Award FinalistNamed a Best Cookbook of the Year by The New Yorker, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, New York Times Book Review, Houston Chronicle, Food52, PopSugar, and more To eat—and cook—like a Filipino involves puckeringly sour adobos with meat so tender you can cut it with a fork, national favorites like kare kare (oxtail stew) and kinilaw (fresh seafood cured in vinegar), Chinese-influenced pansit (noodles), tamales by way of early Mexican immigrants, and Arab-inflected fare, with its layered spicy stews and flavors of burnt coconut. But it also entails beloved street snacks like ukoy (fritters) and empanadas and the array of sweets and treats called meryenda. Dishes reflect the influence and ingredients of the Spaniards and Americans, among others, who came to the islands, but Filipinos turned the food into their own unique and captivating cuisine. Filled with riotously bold and bright photographs, I Am a Filipino is like a classic kamayan dinner—one long festive table piled high with food. Just dig in!

The impact of the digital world and its algorithms on human beings and societyWe read all sorts of things about AI, as the promise of a future happiness or as a threat capable of putting an end to humanity. While we cannot be "for" or "against" AI – it’s already here, and not likely to disappear any time soon - the question we face is how to exist as human beings - individually, socially, collectively - in a world governed by algorithms. Since the dawn of humanity, technological objects have intersected with the human mind: it is we who have shaped them; but as we use them, they in turn shape our brain. With the development of new technologies, this hybridization is becoming more and more apparent, and machines now threaten to colonize us, if we use them badly. AI allows us to make many kinds of work easier, but these benefits often come at the cost of reducing a person to a set of micro-data, far removed from the human characteristics that define him. Worse yet: the whole economy is now subject to the "decisions" suggested by machines. We have entered an era of algorithmic governmentality, in which leaders have deliberately delegated their decision-making to AI.How, then, can we still talk about democracy? And consequently, how can we organize collective action, confronted by a power that is based on the supposed infallibility of machines? Benasayag gives his considered answers in this short but illuminating book, a hybrid of essay and interview.
