La colección presenta trabajos interdisciplinares que hacen uso de herramientas no solo humanistas sino también digitales para proponer enfoques inéditos sobre Literatura, Lingüística, Teoría Crítica y Filosofía en el espacio multicultural iberoamericano del siglo XXI. Las tres principales líneas de investigación - los corpus lingüísticos digitalizados, la lingüística experimental, y la relación entre Literatura, Crítica y Big Data - combinan el análisis de datos con un pensamiento crítico que trasciende el "dataísmo" y abre nuevas perspectivas (biopolítica, feminista y decolonial) en las Humanidades Digitales. The series presents interdisciplinary studies harnessing humanistic as well as digital tools to offer innovative approaches to literary studies, linguistics, critical theory and philosophy in the multicultural Ibero-American space of the 21st century. Its three principal lines of research - digital linguistic corpora, experimental linguistics, and the relation between literature, critique and big data - combine data analysis with critical thinking that transcends mere "dataism" and opens new (biopolitical, feminist, decolonial...) perspectives within Digital Humanities.

"Like the little train that said 'I think I can, I think I can,' this book tells school counselors, 'You can, you can' do research. The text encourages and guides school counselors who have very little time and resources for research, enabling them to show and tell the differences that result from their programs." -Angie Stansell, School Counselor Hatton High School, Town Creek, AL "This text can help any school counselor develop the observation and analytical skills to become a practitioner-inquirer. However, the book is much more than a collection of research techniques-it is a celebration of what is possible when school counselors pursue answers to their own questions about the students with whom they work. I predict this groundbreaking book will become a classic." -Ruth Shagoury Author, The Art of Classroom Inquiry Become an advocate for underserved students by using data from inquiry projects!

Una novela de amor, que ofrece una mirada crtica a las ltimas dcadas de la historia de Cuba, a travs de la dramtica historia de dos amigos y dos mujeres, madre e hija. La trama, que va desde 1956 hasta 1997, usando la retrospectiva, se desarrolla en Cuba, Hungra, Alemania y Estados Unidos. La peripecia argumental contiene elementos de espionaje y tambin policacos, que se alternan con el testimonio de la realidad cubana y la reflexin poltica. Se trata de la gestacin, ascenso y declinaje, con realismo y sentimientos humanos, donde el amor y la pasin explican, tanto en la emergencia de una revolucin dentro de nuestro contexto histrico, como el fatal desencanto ante la traicin de sus ideales ms puros. La pasin y el amor, presentes siempre, como verdaderos protagonistas del proceso social. La Revolucin, que despega brillantemente propulsada por el noble intento de devolverle al hombre su dignidad, le ignora, humilla y subestima, cuando le contrapone a sus estructuras de gobierno, que en el proceso ha suplantado su nobleza inicial, por la malsana intencin de perpetuarse en el poder. Sus principales personajes son de carne y hueso, que se entregaron por completo a un bello ideal, y resultan atrapados entre la muerte de esa ilusin, y el enorme compromiso adquirido durante los largos aos de duro empeo. Se trata de una dicotoma entre la falta de conviccin moral para seguir adelante, no solo con el proceso, sino con uno mismo, y el inexorable peligro e incertidumbre de abandonar el camino. Aun as, esos personajes, con sus sueos rotos y sus anhelos vivos, son los que prevalecen. Es la victoria del hombre sobre la estructura de gobierno, que pretende aplastarle y reducirle. Daniel Torres
