Alianza Editorial Cdiz Episodios Nacionales 8 primera serie
El gran friso narrativo de los Episodios Nacionales sirvió de vehículo a Benito Pérez Galdós (1843-1920) para recrear en él, novelescamente engarzada, la totalidad de la compleja vida de los españoles ?guerras, política, vida cotidiana, reacciones populares? a lo largo del agitado siglo XIX. Baluarte de la resistencia frente a los franceses, Cádiz se convierte en síntesis de una nueva España en la que pugnan el deseo de reformar sus instituciones y las posturas tenaces e irreductibles ante el invasor. A través de Gabriel de Araceli, de guarnición en la Isla, Galdós nos da en el presente episodio una visión directa de aquel denso y brillante mundo gaditano en el que se cruzan y entremezclan héroes de ficción y protagonistas históricos.

Officina Libraria Battista Franco: Drawings
Giovanni Battista Franco (before 1510 - 1561) was an Italian mannerist painter, draughtsman and engraver. Native of Venice, he spent the first part of his career in Rome, but by 1536 had settled in Florence. Back in Rome by 1542, he painted a fresco of the Capture of Saint John the Baptist for the Oratorio di San Giovanni Decollato. In 1545 he was summoned by Duke Guidobaldo II to Urbino, where he painted frescoes in the Duomo (destroyed). The last ten years of his career were spent in Venice, where among his significant works are a Baptism of Christ for San Francesco della Vigna and the ceiling decoration of the Fondaco dei Tedeschi and the Biblioteca Marciana. Franco is better known as a draughtsman and recent scholars such as A. E. Popham found much to praise in 'Franco's extraordinary skill, with his rather scratchy but effective line, and his combination of Michelangelesque and Raphaelesque forms.' Among his drawings there are numerous studies of antique subjects taken from Roman sarcophagi. Text in French.

The Catholic University of America Press Philosophers of the Renaissance
Philosophers of the Renaissance introduces readers to philosophical thinking from the end of the Middle Ages through the sixteenth century. International specialists portray the thought of twenty-one individual philosophers, illustrating their life and work and highlighting the importance of their thinking. Best known among the personalities discussed are Nicholas of Cusa, who combined mathematics with theology; Pico della Mirandola, the first to introduce Hebrew wisdom: Marsilio Ficino, who made the works of Plato accessible to his contemporaries; Pietro Pomponazzi, who challenged the Church with unorthodox teachings; and, Tommaso Campanella, who revolutionized philosophy and science while imprisoned. Philosophers of this period explored a great variety of human knowledge: Greek scholars who had emigrated from Byzantium spread ancient and patristic learning; humanists applied their skills to art, architecture, and the text of the Bible (Leon Battista Alberti and Lorenzo Valla); some debated about methods of scientific research - always with religion in their mind (Raymond Lull, Agrippa of Nettesheim, Philipp Melanchthon, Petrus Ramus, Bernardino Telesio, Jacopo Zabarella); others pondered the ethical implications (Michel de Montaigne, Luis Vives); or they confronted a radical overturn of the traditional worldview (Francesco Patrizi, Giordano Bruno, Francisco Suarez). The book weaves together the stories of these thinkers by emphasizing the unity of Renaissance philosophy. Originally published in German in 1998, the chapters have been thoroughly revised and updated. There is a chapter on Luis Vives that was written specifically for this English edition. This is a rich and accessible introduction to the philosophical thought that shaped modernity.

University of Notre Dame Press Dante's "Vita Nova": A Collaborative Reading
This original volume proposes a novel way of reading Dante’s Vita nova, exemplified in a rich diversity of scholarly approaches to the text. This groundbreaking volume represents the fruit of a two-year-long series of international seminars aimed at developing a fresh way of reading Dante’s Vita nova. By analyzing each of its forty-two chapters individually, focus is concentrated on the Vita nova in its textual and historical context rather than on its relationship to the Divine Comedy. This decoupling has freed the contributors to draw attention to various important literary features of the text, including its rich and complex polysemy, as well as its structural fluidity. The volume likewise offers insights into Dante’s social environment, his relationships with other poets, and Dante’s evolving vision of his poetry’s scope. Using a variety of critical methodologies and hermeneutical approaches, this volume offers scholars an opportunity to reread the Vita nova in a renewed context and from a diversity of literary, cultural, and ideological perspectives. Contributors: Zygmunt G. Barański, Heather Webb, Claire E. Honess, Brian F. Richardson, Ruth Chester, Federica Pich, Matthew Treherne, Catherine Keen, Jennifer Rushworth, Daragh O’Connell, Sophie V.

Prestel RE/SISTERS: A Lens on Gender and Ecology
Reflecting on a range of themes, from extractive industries to the politics of care, this timely exhibition catalog looks at environmental and gender justice as indivisible parts of a global struggle. A culturally diverse selection of works by Laura Aguilar, melanie bonajo, Xaviera Simmons, Minerva Cuevas, Barbara Kruger, Nadia Huggins, Ana Mendieta, Sim Chi Yin, Pamela Singh, Francesca Woodman and others are presented alongside works of an activist nature to demonstrate how women are regularly at the forefront of advocating and caring for the planet. Amplifying these visions are illuminating essays by experts in the field, including Professor Kathryn Yusoff, Professor Astrida Neimanis, Professor Catriona Sandilands and Professor Elizabeth DeLoughrey, that consider a diverse range of pertinent topics such as hydrofeminism, the body as earth, queer ecologies, and environmental racism. Together these texts and important artworks reveal how the oppression of women, feminized bodies and indigenous, Black and trans communities and the degradation of the planet are inextricably linked—and the ways in which understanding our environment can resist and overcome the logic of capitalist economies.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG The History and Life Stories of European Women in the Arts: From the Middle Ages to the Present
Offering historical identity fortified by the presence of women belonging to the various areas of creative and intellectual life, this book allows readers to understand greater contexts of their identity. The history of female artists is an indicator of how social identity was erased from the historiography which asserted itself in nineteenth-century Europe. Analysis of the biographical pathways traced here reveals how women in the Middle Ages and beyond have been active protagonists of the arts, received reviews, as well as had an authoritative role as the esteemed and attentive witnesses of the society around them.Reconstruction of social relationships, intellectual and creative production as well as of the life stories of some of Europe’s most important female artists, foregrounds this omission and highlights their extraordinary nature.The different stories contained in this book narrate the lives and works of Hildegard von Bingen, Francesca Caccini, Mary Wollstonecraft, George Sand, Lou Andreas Salomé and Elke Mascha Blankenburg.By reinforcing the awareness of social and historical origins, the informed reader is better equipped to tackle their futures and build up their personalities.

Zaragoza, julio de 1808. Una mujer de poco más de veinte años arranca el botafuego de las manos de un artillero muerto y dispara el cañón que éste tenía a su cargo.

Lake View Press The Cineaste Interviews: On the Art and Politics of the Cinema
Roger Ebert wrote the foreword to this collection of 35 in-depth interviews with the world's leading filmmakers and critics, from Fonda to Fassbinder, from Canby to Costa-Gavras, from Sarris to Sayles. Cineaste, America's leading magazine on the art and politics of the cinema, has become known for its in-depth interviews with filmmakers and film critics of international stature. The best of these interviews are now collected in this volume. The interviews: Constantin Costa-Gavras, Glauber Rocha, Miguel Littin, Bernardo Bertolucci, Ousmane Sembene, Elio Petri, Dusan Makavejev; Gillo Pontecorvo; Alain Tanner, Jane Fonda, Francesco Rosi, Lina Wertmuller, Roberto Rossellini, Tomas Gutierrez Alea, Gordon Parks, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, John Howard Lawson, Paul Schrader, Agnes Varda, Bertrand Tavernier, Andrew Sarris, Bruce Gilbert, Jorge Semprun, Vincent Canby, John Berger, Andrzej Wajda, John Sayles, Krzysztof Zanussi, Molly Haskell, Budd Schulberg, Satyajit Ray. The unique value of these interviews will be the comments by the filmmakers on the crucial artistic and political decisions confronted in the making of their films, many of which have become classics of their kind. The filmmakers and critics talk about their own development, films which influenced their work, and the continuing controversies and alternative approaches in filmmaking. They take on their critics and their own previous positions with a clarity and forcefulness to be expected from some of the leading practitioners of their art. The interviews are introduced with a foreword by Roger Ebert, television commentator and critic for the Chicago Sun-Times. Mr. Ebert discusses the relation of art and politics and some of the common perspectives which unite filmmakers of different cultures and of diverse artistic and political temperaments. Among the subjects of these wide-ranging talks are: the choice between popular and experimental forms of narrative; the filmmaker's responsibility to society; blacks and women in the movies; the rise of third world filmmaking; Hollywood's left and progressives; the conditions of filmmaking in different societies; the challenges of independent production; different forms of censorship, from the U.S. to Poland; trends in criticism and auteur theory to feminism; the power of the reviewer.

París era una rave
Ona y Leo coinciden por casualidad en el mismo avión con destino a París. Con todos los tópicos típicos de las comedias románticas, los protagonistas se reencontrarán en la sonada 'Secret Fairy Day', una fiesta secreta que tiene lugar una vez al mes, con la intención de compartir una noche de pasión a la francesa. Pero justo antes de entregarse a su primer beso, el chico vomita sobre la alfombra del vecino de abajo, que no es otro que el mismísimo Alejandro Jodorowsky, quien sufre los desmanes de los invitados a la 'soirée'. Harto de ser tomado por el pito del sereno, el escritor, cineasta, tarotista y psicomago los condenará eternamente con una maldición: De la fiesta no podréis escapar, en París para siempre os quedaréis, condenados a quererse, obligados a odiarse?.Desde ese momento, lo que parecía ser un relato naíf y cursi se transformará en toda una peripecia surrealista por las nebulosas calles de París: polacos mutantes, un agente secreto clavadito a Ryan Gosling, un puticlu

Quin hablar en europeo Prxima aparicin
En este libro, Basurto y Domínguez plantean por fin seriamente la cuestión de la ausencia de una lengua común como un problema político para el futuro de Europa. Con el fin de abordarlo, emprenden un fascinante recorrido histórico por la formación de las diversas lenguas europeas desde el Imperio Romano hasta el austrohúngaro, pasando por la Revolución Francesa, y nos muestran el intenso entrecruzamiento que siempre ha existido entre política, lengua, educación e identidad nacional. Además de un sugerente repaso al convulso pasado lingüístico del Viejo Continente, en estas páginas se ofrece una aguda visión de la Bruselas actual, con todas sus contradicciones y superposiciones lingüísticas e indentitarias. El presente ensayo no solo resulta innovador por atreverse a plantearla pregunta sobre la unión lingüística europea, sino también por arriesgarse a sugerir posibles y sorprendentes soluciones.

Socialismo historia y utopiapensamiento critico
El presente libro busca hacer un balance filosófico e histórico de la tradición socialista para entender su legado, en busca de ideas que tengan relevancia y potencial para los retos de la sociedad presente. Haciéndose eco de la actitud de Hegel ante la Revolución Francesa, el libro propone que los fracasos y tragedias del socialismo durante el siglo XX fueron tal vez inevitables dadas las condiciones del momento pero, precisamente por esa misma especificidad histórica, en la sociedad actual las ideas socialistas pueden ser una guía valiosa para la acción en un mundo cada vez más complejo sin que por ello se vaya a repetir el pasado. Antes bien, las transformaciones del capitalismo moderno, especialmente en una era de globalización y de crisis ambiental de carácter planetario, hacen que sea cada vez más plausible y más viable retomar la agenda de solidaridad y responsabilidad compartida que forma parte de la tradición socialista desde sus orígenes hace ya más de dos siglos.

Pocas obras dicen tanto en su título como la que aquí se presenta. Porque, en La fiesta revolucionaria de Mona Ozouf, quedan contenidas todas esas políticas de la Revolución francesa de que hablara B. Baczko. Desde las primeras páginas del libro, el lector descubre que es la propia fiesta la que se abre al plural; que no hay fiesta, sino fiestas; que la fiesta es imaginario de la política (el espectáculo de una comunidad como invención de sí misma), combate revolucionario (cada una de las gloriosas jornadas) e institución (y aquí debe considerarse toda la problemática de la fundación). Pero, al hilo del relato, ese mismo lector colige que la fiesta revolucionaria también es Una, que es forma de la que participan el moderantismo de los constituyentes, el ardor de los jacobinos del año II o la reacción de los termidorianos.

El fenómeno guerrillero español durante la ocupación francesa de 1808 provocó asombro en toda Europa y animó a no pocos rincones del continente en su rebelión contra los ejércitos imperiales. Mezcla de bandoleros, contrabandistas y soldados improvisados, las numerosas y eficaces partidas que en concreto operaron en el sur peninsular tuvieron en jaque a un considerable número de efectivos enemigos y jugaron un importante papel en su ayuda a las tropas regulares españolas e inglesas. Pero tras cada voluntario en la guerrilla había una historia personal, una tragedia cuya catarsis resolvían los fusiles o las navajas. La presente novela se escribe sobre geografías reales y unas bases documentales tan sólidas que muchas veces superan a la más dura e imaginativa de las ficciones.

Forma Edizioni Vasco Bendini. Ombre prime
Catalogue of the exhibition dedicated by La Galleria Nazionale di Roma to Vasco Bendini on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth, which opened in March 2022. The volume accompanies the discovery of the career of one of the major artists of the second half of the Italian 20th century, from his early training with Giorgio Morandi, up to the great Roman solo exhibitions and the Biennales of his maturity. The work of Vasco Bendini, dear to critics such as Francesco Arcangeli and Maurizio Calvesi, opens in the immediate postwar period, following an informal language in search of the volto as a universal archetype, to then focus on gesture and matter, under the influence of, among others, Jean Fautrier. The 1960s are characterised by the inclusion in the paintings of heterogeneous objects and materials, in an approach to Arte Povera and then, with actions and installations, to the Neodada way of doing things. The central objective for Bendini remains in fact the involvement of the viewer, in a fruitful dialogue necessary for the development of his poetics. A large selection of archival photos, along with essays and alleri productions of the works, is flanked by a critical anthology and unpublished writings by the Master. Text in English and Italian.

Europa Editions (UK) Ltd Rome: The Passenger
The Passenger collects the best new writing, photography, and reportage from around the world. Its aim, to break down barriers and introduce the essence of the place. Packed with essays and investigative journalism; original photography and illustrations; charts, and unusual facts and observations, each volume offers a unique insight into a different culture, and how history has shaped the place into what it is today. Brimming with intricate research and enduring wonder, The Passenger is a love-letter to global travel. IN THIS VOLUME, Marco D’Eramo, Nicola Lagioia, Matteo Nucci, and Francesco Piccolo among other Italian writers tell of a city which, despite appearances, slips further down the ranking of the world’s most liveable cities. To the problems faced by all large capitals, Rome has added a list of calamities of its own: widespread corruption, the resurgence of fascist movements, rampant crime. A seemingly hopeless situation perfectly symbolised by the fact that Rome currently leads the world in the number of self-combusting public buses. However, if we look closer, this narrative is contradicted by just as many signs that point in the opposite direction. The majority of Romans wouldn’t consider “betraying” their hometown, and the many newcomers are often indistinguishable from the natives in the profound love that binds them to the city, leading to a lack of the mass emigration. Rome is a place of contradictions, yet to understand Rome and “fix” its problems, we should consider it a normal city, “not unlike Chicago or Manchester.” Only, incomparably more beautiful.

Reaktion Books Petrarch: Everywhere a Wanderer
Born in Tuscany in 1304, Italian poet Francesco Petrarca is widely considered one of the fathers of the modern Italian language. His writings inspired the Humanist movement and, subsequently, the Renaissance, but few figures are as complex or as misunderstood. He was a devotee of the ancient pagan Roman world and a devout Christian, a lover of friendship and sociability, yet at times an intensely private and almost misanthropic man. He believed life on earth was little more than a transitory pilgrimage, and took himself as his most important subject-matter. Christopher S. Celenza provides the first general account of Petrarch's life and work in English in over thirty years, and considers how his reputation and identity have changed over the centuries. He brings to light Petrarch's unrequited love for his poetic muse, Laura, the experiences of his university years, the anti-institutional attitude he developed as he sought a path to modernity by looking toward antiquity, and his endless focus on himself. Drawing on both Petrarch's Italian and Latin writings, this is a revealing portrait of a paradoxical figure: a man of mystique, historical importance and endless fascination.

Editorial Universidad de Almería Filosofía de la elocuencia 1777
La Filosofía de la elocuencia, de Antonio de Capmany y Montpalau, publicada por vez primera en 1777, es uno de los tratados de retórica más importantes de todos los escritos en lengua castellana. Esta obra se encuentra inmersa en el contexto de la preocupación que durante el siglo XVIII, se mostró en Europa por las cuestiones relacionadas con la gramática, la retórica, la oratoria y la poética. A saber, se trataba de reivindicar el arte de persuadir, conmover y provocar actos en los oyentes o en los lectores mucho más que conservar un conjunto de normas destinadas a dar mayor efectividad propagandística? a un discurso, que era en lo que había degenerado la retórica desde la Edad Media. Capmany, recogiendo ideas de la ilustración -sobre todo, la Enciclopedia francesa (Voltaire, D'Alembert, Montesquieu)-, concibe la elocuencia como una facultad natural por la que los ciudadanos elaboran textos orales o escritos mediante los cuales no sólo han de convencer a los demás de la validez y cert

Temple University Press,U.S. The Many Geographies of Urban Renewal: New Perspectives on the Housing Act of 1949
The consequences of the federal Housing Act of 1949—which supported the clearance and redevelopment of “blighted” areas across the nation—were felt by communities of all sizes, not just large cities. The Many Geographies of Urban Renewal presents a more comprehensive view of the federal urban renewal program by situating the experiences of large cities like Baltimore, MD and Philadelphia PA alongside other geographies, such as the small city of Waterville, ME, suburban St. Louis County in Missouri, the State of New York, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and others. Chapters identify trends and connections that cut across jurisdictional boundaries, investigate who used federal funds, how those funds were used, and examine the profound short and long-term consequences of the program. Taken as a whole, the essays showcase the unexpected diversity of how different communities used the federal urban renewal program. The Many Geographies of Urban Renewal allows us to better understand what was arguably the most significant urban policy of the 20th century, and how that policy shaped the American landscape. Contributors include Francesca Russello Ammon, Brent Cebul, Robert B. Fairbanks, Leif Fredrickson, Colin Gordon, David Hochfelder, Robert K. Nelson, Benjamin D. Lisle, Stacy Kinlock Sewell and the editor.

University of Notre Dame Press Many Faces of Beauty
The volume The Many Faces of Beauty joins the rich debate on beauty and aesthetic theory by presenting an ambitious, interdisciplinary examination of various facets of beauty in nature and human society. The contributors ask such questions as, Is there beauty in mathematical theories? What is the function of arts in the economy of cultures? What are the main steps in the historical evolution of aesthetic theories from ancient civilizations to the present? What is the function of the ugly in enhancing the expressivity of art? and What constitutes beauty in film? The sixteen essays, by eminent scientists, critics, scholars, and artists, are divided into five parts. In the first, a mathematician, physicist, and two philosophers address beauty in mathematics and nature. In the second, an anthropologist, psychologist, historian of law, and economist address the place of beauty in the human mind and in society. Explicit philosophical reflections on notoriously vexing issues, such as the historicity of aesthetics itself, interculturality, and the place of the ugly, are themes of the third part. In the fourth, practicing artists discuss beauty in painting, music, poetry, and film. The final essay, by a theologian, reflects on the relation between beauty and God. Contributors: Vittorio Hösle, Robert P. Langlands, Mario Livio, Dieter Wandschneider, Christian Illies, Francesco Pellizzi, Bjarne Sode Funch, Peter Landau, Holger Bonus, Pradeep A. Dhillon, Mark W. Roche, Maxim Kantor, Claus-Steffen Mahnkopf, Mary Kinzie, Dudley Andrew, and Cyril O’Regan.

Gagosian Gallery Damien Hirst: For Heaven's Sake
For Heaven's Sake was produced for the Damien Hirst: Forgotten Promises inaugural exhibition at Gagosian Gallery, Hong Kong in 2011. The book title, named after the artwork "For Heaven's Sake" (2008), includes full-color plates of the skull, including fabrication shots and installation shots at the Hong Kong exhibition where this life-size human baby skull cast in platinum and covered in 8,128 pavé-set perfect diamonds: 7,105 natural fancy pink diamonds and 1,023 white diamonds on the fontanel was shown for the first time. Also included are 8 unique preliminary drawings by the artist. This spectacular memento mori was cast from an original skull that formed part of a nineteenth-century pathology collection that Hirst acquired some years ago. As Hirst says: "Diamonds are about perfection and clarity and wealth and sex and death and immortality. They are a symbol of everything that's eternal, but then they have a dark side as well." The book includes a short text by curator, writer and critic, Francesco Bonami published in both Chinese and English. Bonami is the Manilow Senior Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. He is also the artistic director of the Fondazione Sandretto ReRebaudengo per l'Arte in Turin, Fondazione Pitti Discovery in Florence and the Centro di Arte Contemporanea Villa Manin. He was the director of the 50th Biennale di Venezia of Visual Arts in 2003.

Princeton University Press Inventing Falsehood, Making Truth: Vico and Neapolitan Painting
Can painting transform philosophy? In Inventing Falsehood, Making Truth, Malcolm Bull looks at Neapolitan art around 1700 through the eyes of the philosopher Giambattista Vico. Surrounded by extravagant examples of late Baroque painting by artists like Luca Giordano and Francesco Solimena, Vico concluded that human truth was a product of the imagination. Truth was not something that could be observed: instead, it was something made in the way that paintings were made--through the exercise of fantasy. Juxtaposing paintings and texts, Bull presents the masterpieces of late Baroque painting in early eighteenth-century Naples from an entirely new perspective. Revealing the close connections between the arguments of the philosophers and the arguments of the painters, he shows how Vico drew on both in his influential philosophy of history, The New Science. Bull suggests that painting can serve not just as an illustration for philosophical arguments, but also as the model for them--that painting itself has sometimes been a form of epistemological experiment, and that, perhaps surprisingly, the Neapolitan Baroque may have been one of the routes through which modern consciousness was formed.

York Medieval Press Late Medieval Heresy: New Perspectives: Studies in Honor of Robert E. Lerner
Fresh investigations into heresy after 1300, demonstrating its continuing importance and influence. From the Gregorian reforms to the Protestant Reformation, heresies and heretics helped shape the religious, political, and institutional structures of medieval Europe. Within this larger history of religious ferment, the late medieval period presents a particularly dynamic array of heterodox movements, dissident modes of thought, and ecclesiastical responses. Yet recent debates about the nature of heresy in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries have too easily created an impression of the period after 1300 as merely an epilogue to the high medieval story. This volume takes the history of heresy in late medieval Europe (1300-1500) on its own terms. From Paris to Prague and fromnorthern Germany to Italy and even extending as far as Ethiopia, the essays shed new light on a vibrant world of audacious beguines, ardent Joachites, Spiritual Franciscans, innovative mystics, lay prophets, idiosyncratic alchemists, daring magicians, and even rebellious princes locked in battles with the papacy. As befits a collection honoring the pioneering career of Robert E. Lerner, the studies collected here combine close readings of manuscripts andother sources with a grounding in their political, religious and intellectual contexts, to offer fresh insights into heresies and heretics in late medieval Europe. MICHAEL D. BAILEY is Professor of History at Iowa State University; SEAN L. FIELD is Professor of History at the University of Vermont. Contributors: Louisa A.

Acantilado Viaje literario por América Latina
En los años setenta del siglo XX, los mismos de la epopeya castrista, apareció en la escena literaria en lengua española una nueva generación de escritores latinoamericanos, exaltadores de la naturaleza y de la libertad, del vitalismo y del color. Fue la generación del boom, que tiene en García Márquez su exponente más ejemplar. Francesco Varanini recorre los caminos de un mapa imaginario que cruza el continente, a través del cual pone al descubierto a quienes considera malos maestros?Neruda, Carpentier?, relee sus más altas voces?Borges, Lezama Lima?, subraya los autores que se han mantenido fieles a las propias raíces?Cabrera Infante, Cortázar?y nos descubre algún tesoro semienterrado?Felisberto Hernández, Adalberto Ortiz o Andrés Caicedo?. Es un viaje rico en sugestiones, a medio camino entre el ensayo, la biografía y la crítica. Un viaje al centro de la literatura y a su periferia, apasionado, polémico y, por encima de todo, apasionante.

La mente reaccionaria el conservadurismo desde Edmund Burke hasta Donald Trump
Qué es el conservadurismo y qué está realmente en juego para sus defensores? Corey Robin analiza el asunto desde sus raíces, en la reacción contra la Revolución francesa. Argumenta que el derecho fue inspirado, y todavía está unido, por su hostilidad para emancipar las órdenes inferiores. Algunos conservadores avalan el libre mercado, otros se oponen a ello. Algunos critican al Estado, otros lo celebran. Detrás de estas diferencias está el impulso de defender el poder y el privilegio contra movimientos que exigen libertad e igualdad, al mismo tiempo que hacen llamamientos populistas a las masas. Pero, a pesar de su oposición a estos movimientos, los conservadores favorecen una concepción dinámica de la política y la sociedad, que involucra a menudo la autotransformación, la violencia y la guerra. Las ideas conservadoras también son altamente adaptables a los nuevos desafíos y circunstancias de cada momento. Esta parcialidad a favor de la violencia y la capacidad de reinvención han sido

Ediciones Rialp, S.A. El caminito de infancia espiritual según la vida y escritos de santa Teresita del Niño Jesús
La filiación divina constituye el fundamento de toda relación con Dios. Esa es la oración que Jesús enseña a sus discípulos, al explicarles cómo orar: el Padrenuestro. Pero, qué idea podemos formarnos de Dios como Padre? Una idea de ternura? O más bien de respeto, o incluso de temor? El autor, a principios del siglo XX, acude a los escritos de Teresa de Lisieux para desarrollarlos y mostrar al lector la grandeza y hondura que esconden. La joven carmelita francesa es, por este motivo, una de las grandes santas de la historia de la Iglesia. El Padre Gabriel Martin, de los misioneros diocesanos de la Vendée (Francia), escribió este breve tratado poco después de la muerte de Teresa de Lisieux, y fue publicado en castellano en 1924. La joven carmelita fue beatificada un año antes por Pío XI. Este mismo pontífice la canonizará en 1925, y en 1997 Juan Pablo II la nombrará Doctora de la Iglesia.

UEA Publishing Project UEA Creative Writing Anthology Poetry: 2018
“What could be more timely than the wresting of new ways of saying from the hand-me-down matter of language; what more exploratory and exacting/exciting? Perhaps, in an era of frequently cynical and lazy language-use, an appetite has grown among readers for writing that doesn’t so much hit the nail squarely on the head, as refashion the very concept of the hammer” says Tiffany Atkinson, in her Introduction to this volume; a volume that is the record of a year of hard work, experiment, conversation, revision, and speculative play between the weight of tradition and the desire to find new ways of saying. What is immediately visible in these pages is the sheer variation in style and form, from the fragmentary and epigrammatic to the ranging and discursive, from the intimate to the global, from the playful to the elegiac. What is not visible is the mutual care and camaraderie of a group working together to encourage the emergence of each distinctive voice.Here are the UEA Poets of 2018.
