This book reflects the way in which the city interacts with the
sacred in all its many guises, with religion and the human search
for meaning in life. As the process of urbanization of society is
accelerating thus giving an increasing importance to cities and the
'metropolis', it is relevant to investigate the social or cultural
cohesion that these urban agglomerations manifest. Religion is
keenly observed as witnessing a growth, crucially impacting
cultural and political dynamics, as well as determining the
emergence of new sacred symbols and their inscription in urban
spaces worldwide. The sacred has become an important category of a
new interpretation of social and cultural transformation processes.
From a unique broader perspective, the volume focuses on the
relationship between the city and the sacred. Taking a
multidisciplinary approach, combining the expertise of
philosophers, historians, architects, social geographers,
sociologists and anthropologists, it draws a nuanced picture of the
different layers of religion, of the sacred and its diverse forms
within the city, with examples from Europe, South America and the
Caribbean, and Africa. >
This interdisciplinary book brings into dialogue research on how
different fluids and bodies of water are mobilised as liquid
ecologies in the arts in Latin America and the Caribbean. Examining
the visual arts, including multimedia installations, performance,
photography and film, the chapters place diverse fluids and systems
of flow in art historical, ecocritical and cultural analytical
contexts. The book will be of interest to scholars of art history,
cultural studies, environmental humanities, blue humanities,
ecocriticism, Latin American and Caribbean studies, and island
studies. Chapter 7 of this book is freely available as a
downloadable Open Access PDF under a Creative Commons

The invisibilization of political violence, its material traces,
and spatial manifestations, characterizes conflict and
post-conflict situations. Yet, artists, writers, and human rights
activists increasingly seek to challenge this invisibility,
contesting the related historical amnesia through counter-semantics
and dissonant narratives. Adopting "performance" as a concept that
is defined by repetitive, aesthetic practices-such as speech and
bodily habits through which both individual and collective
identities are constructed and perceived-this collection addresses
various forms of performing human rights in transitional situations
in Spain, Latin America, and the Middle East. Bringing scholars
together with artists, writers, and curators, and working across a
range of disciplines, Performing Human Rights addresses these
instances of omission and neglect, revealing how alternate
institutional spaces and strategies of cultural production have
intervened in the processes of historical justice and collective
memory.
En el rio Cesar (Valledupar, Colombia), que se usa como receptor de
aguas residuales tratadas de las lagunas de estabilizacion Estacion
Salguero, se llevo a cabo un plan de muestreo de 6 meses durante
los cuales se identificaron cianobacterias potencialmente
productoras de cianotoxinas, ademas se estimo cualitativamente su
abundancia y variacion en la distribucion de estas a lo largo del
area de muestreo; se evaluaron las fluctuaciones de las
caracteristicas fisicas y quimicas del area de estudio. Se
establecieron tres estaciones de muestreo: rio arriba, zona de
vertimiento de las aguas residuales y rio abajo; se usaron metodos
para la identificacion y recuento del material ficologico
estandarizados y para medir los parametros fisicoquimicos. La mayor
abundancia de algunas cianobacterias estuvo estrechamente
relacionada con las zonas del rio donde existe mayor contaminacion
organica. Las cianobacterias productoras de toxinas que
predominaron fueron Phormidium sp., Oscillatoria sp. y
Pseudanabaena sp. Los resultados fisicoquimicos indican que la
calidad del agua del rio Cesar es alterada en los puntos donde el
rio recibe las descargas de aguas residuales y a lo largo de este."
