Jorge Luis Borges-one of the most important Latin American
writers-has also attained considerable international stature, and
his work is commonly cited in a wide array of scholarship on
contemporary fiction. Partly as a consequence of Borges'
international identity, and partly because of a long-standing view
in Borges criticism that his writing is principally concerned with
abstract ideas, critics have been reluctant to address the question
of politics in his writing Filling this critical gap, Gonzalez
begins by rejecting the proposition that Borges withdraws from the
"real," and provides a detailed analysis of the various political
issues that Borges takes up in his essays and short stories. The
author places particular emphasis on the turbulent questions that
shaped Argentine social history during the period of Borges'
output.

En el Adviento y en la Navidad nos ponemos en contacto con Jesus de
Nazaret, quien supo de movimiento y de caminos aun desde antes de
nacer. Ya en el seno de su madre viaja rumbo hacia Belen. Huye,
exiliado, junto con Jose y Maria, a Egipto. Desde entonces, sus
discipulos tambien habremos de alistar las sandalias y el baston La
vida es un viaje y la libertad no tiene precio. Nuestro mejor pan
para darle sentido a nuestro peregrinar y para satisfacer nuestra
hambre es la Palabra. Estas paginas son una fraterna invitacion a
dejar que el Senor del tiempo toque nuestra jornada diaria, ponga
su mano en nuestra historia, para que entonces, nuestro tiempo sea
divino y humano. Se convierta en... tiempo para Dios. The true
meaning of Advent and Christmas finds its voice in "Tiempo Para
Dios" for Every Day of Advent and the 12 Days of Christmas. From
the First Sunday of Advent through Christmas and Epiphany for each
liturgical year (A, B, and C), this book will help prepare for and
deepen our experience this holy season.

In a unique analysis of Cuban literature inside and outside the
country's borders, Eduardo Gonzalez looks closely at the work of
three important contemporary Cuban authors: Guillermo Cabrera
Infante (1929-2005), who left Cuba for good in 1965 and established
himself in London; Antonio Benitez-Rojo (1931-2005), who settled in
the United States; and Leonardo Padura Fuentes (b. 1955), who still
lives and writes in Cuba. Through the positive experiences of exile
and wandering that appear in their work, these three writers
exhibit what Gonzalez calls ""Romantic authorship,"" a deep
connection to the Romantic spirit of irony and complex sublimity
crafted in literature by Lord Byron, Thomas De Quincey, and Samuel
Taylor Coleridge. In Gonzalez's view, a writer becomes a belated
Romantic by dint of exile adopted creatively with comic or tragic
irony. Gonzalez weaves into his analysis related cinematic elements
of myth, folktale, and the grotesque that appear in the work of
filmmakers such as Alfred Hitchcock and Pedro Almodovar. Placing
the three Cuban writers in conversation with artists and thinkers
from British and American literature, anthropology, philosophy,
psychoanalysis, and cinema, Gonzalez ultimately provides a space in
which Cuba and its literature, inside and outside its borders, are
deprovincialized.
This collection of essays studies the depiction of contemporary
urban space in twenty-first century Latin American fiction. The
contributors to this volume seek to understand the characteristics
that make the representation of the postmodern city in a Latin
American context unique. The chapters focus on cities from a wide
variety of countries in the region, highlighting the cultural and
political effects of neoliberalism and globalization in the
contemporary urban scene. Twenty-first century authors share an
interest for images of ruins and dystopian landscapes and their
view of the damaging effects of the global market in Latin America
tends to be pessimistic. As the book demonstrates, however, utopian
elements or "spaces of hope" can also be found in these narrations,
which suggest the possibility of transforming a
capitalist-dominated living space.

This text is aimed at defining the current concepts that define
trauma induced coagulopathy by critically analyzing the most
up-to-date studies from a clinical and basic science perspective.
It will serve as a reference source for any clinician interested in
reviewing the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of the
coagulopathic trauma patient, and the data that supports it. By
meticulously describing the methodology of most traditional as well
as state of the art coagulation assays the reader will have full
understanding of the tests that are used to study trauma induced
coagulopathy. The evolving use of blood products as well as
recently introduced hemostatic medications are reviewed in detail.
Trauma Induced Coagulopathy will also be a valuable source for
quick reference to the clinician that is faced with specific
clinical challenges when managing coagulopathy.
Angel Rama (1926-1983) is a major figure in Latin American literary
and cultural studies, but little has been published on his critical
work. In this study, Jose Eduardo Gonzalez focuses on Rama's
response to and appropriation of European critics like Walter
Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, and Georg Lukacs. Gonzalez argues that
Rama realized the inapplicability of many of their theories and
descriptions of cultural modernization to Latin America, and thus
reworked them to produce his own discourse that challenged
prevailing notions of social and cultural modernization.

Taxonomic identification of tropical trees is a slow process
because it requires local flora expertise to identify a highly
diverse number of species in a small area. There is significant
value in the finding new plant identification methods that will
allow scientists to conduct rapid tropical rainforest tree
inventories using simple techniques. Aerial identification is
presented here as an alternative tool that might complement
traditional taxonomy carried out on the ground. This book is a
guide for the new generation of tropical ecologists, biologists
and/or conservationists who want to utilise alternative techniques
for identifying tropical trees. The book explores the use of high
resolution aerial photography to identify tree crowns,
distinguishes the potential environmental drivers that may control
the presence of the trees in the tropical forest and identifies the
spatial distribution of key taxa in the landscape
Although primitivism has received renewed attention in recent
years, studies linking it with Latin America have been rare. This
volume examines primitivism and its implications for contemporary
debates on Latin American culture, literature, and arts, showing
how Latin American subjects employ a Western construct to "return
the gaze" of the outside world and redefine themselves in relation
to modernity.
Examining such subjects as Julio CortAzar and Frida Kahlo and
such topics as folk art and cinema, the volume brings together for
the first time the views of scholars who are currently engaging the
task of cultural studies from the standpoint of primitivism. These
varied contributions include analyses of Latin American art in
relation to social issues, popular culture, and official cultural
policy; essays in cultural criticism touching on ethnic identity,
racial politics, women's issues, and conflictive modernity; and
analytical studies of primitivism's impact on narrative theory and
practice, film, theater, and poetry.
This collection contributes offers a new perspective on a
variety of significant debates in Latin American cultural studies
and shows that the term "primitive" does not apply to these
cultures as much as to our understanding of them. CONTENTS
