¿Hay vida en la tierra?
Read moreTitle ¿Hay vida en la tierra? Author Villoro, Juan Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667222 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 445 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis In Is There Life on Earth? Juan Villoro offers us a broad sample of his ability to analyze our present and manages to make sense of the untamed daily life when organized into a story. In these pages, the author analyzes the strange mystery of being Mexican, undertakes the arduous task of changing his mattress, develops a theory of mariachi, witnesses a confession by the Japanese writer Kenzaburo Oé, meets two turtles in the Dachau concentration camp, opens a suitcase that contains the pain of Republican exile, faces the enormous challenge of asking for a cappuccino and is mistaken for a priest. With Is There Life on Earth? Almadía reached one hundred published titles. Therefore, it was only logical to celebrate with a volume made up of one hundred stories characterized by addictive prose and a hilarious catalog of paranoias, misunderstandings, annoyances and illusions that make up daily life. Seven years after its appearance in our publishing house, and after the publication of two hundred other titles, we are pleased to see that Is There Life on Earth? remains one of the most sought-after titles in our catalogue, which shows us that there are and will continue to be new readers willing to search for the forms that life takes on Earth. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

A praise of the imagination and the experience of poetry, shared with the reader. foreign rights contact María Fuentes E-mail edicion@vasoroto.com -

Otro día…
Read moreTitle Otro día… Author Gerber Bicecci, Verónica Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667093 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 104 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis In 1977, the Voyager probes were launched into outer space. Inside, the Golden Record carries sounds and images of life on Earth, waiting to be found and deciphered. On the other hand, a hundred years ago, José Juan Tablada published Un día… (poemas synthetics), an advanced and subtle artefact composed of haikus and illustrations made by the poet, in which nature is shown as the muse of avant-garde writing. Simple as a gesture, but complex in its implications and references, Otro día… (poemas synthetics), by Verónica Gerber Bicecci, is an exercise in crossings and rewritings that contrasts with the figure of the muse to make a sharp testimony of our present and a deep questioning of the future: a time that may have ceased to be ours. At the same time, it allows us to think about what kind of memory we leave about ourselves and imagine poetry as a satellite, a vestige that could be interpreted by a new civilization. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Prosas de guerra y esperanza: Efraín Huerta en “El Popular” (1939-1944)
Read moreTitle Prosas de guerra y esperanza: Efraín Huerta en “El Popular” (1939-1944) Author Ugalde Quintana, Sergio Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667437 Edition number 1 Publication year 2020 Pages 592 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis During the years when the threat of the extreme right was taking on a global scope, the public scene in Mexico was disputed between the progressive faction affiliated with the government of Lázaro Cárdenas del Río and a reaction that opposed his policies and did not hide the sympathy that the fascist regimes of Europe inspired in it. In accordance with the demands of the times, the young poet Efraín Huerta did not hesitate to appeal to a “moral, psychological and aesthetic” definition of the artist or the intellectual. It is not surprising, then, the combative tone of many of his contributions to the newspaper that the Cardenistas founded to counteract the attacks that the media conglomerates launched against his government: El Popular. In the not inconsiderable universe of these spaces, until now forgotten by literary historiography and which are presented in this necessary volume, the different facets of a fundamental trajectory for Mexican letters can be read. Although it would seem that political commentary was the main driving force behind Huerta's pen in these columns, they also have room for a diverse spectrum of registers and interests: popular speech, urban spaces, literary reviews, among others. Of all the scenarios outlined in Huerta's more than one thousand one hundred contributions to El Popular, two stand out for their centrality: on the one hand, the political denunciation of world and Mexican fascism; on the other, the response of poetry - and of literature and art in general - to this overwhelming reality. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Read moreTitle Los filósofos ante los animales. Una historia filosófica sobre los animales. Pensamiento contemporáneo Author Flores Farfán, Leticia; Linares Salgado, Jorge E. Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764051 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 240 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis The 20th century saw, as never before in history, the intensive devastation of ecosystems coupled with the advance of technology and industry, as well as a significant development of the means of communication and transport. It was faced with war conflicts and the conquest of space. It was in this century that various voices also began to seriously question human activity on the planet and its place in nature. The so-called “school of suspicion” – Nietzsche, Marx and Freud – bequeathed to the contemporary world a series of doubts and questions that forced us to rethink both anthropology and human praxis. Wars, resistance to colonialist and imperialist projects, terrorism and financial crises were recurring scenarios in a century that, while taking humanity to unsuspected levels of development, also showed human cruelty and constant coexistence with evil. The philosophers of the 20th century sought to find new answers, new points of support in the face of the collapse of tradition. For this reason, perhaps in response to the difficulties experienced, the past century was a century of great philosophical contributions and in these the animal question did not go unnoticed. The third volume of this collection offers a tour of some of these proposals, specifically those of Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Georges Bataille, Jacques Derrida, Tom Regan, Giorgio Agamben, Peter Singer and Martha Nussbaum. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Antropología y diversidad cultural Author Saúl Millán Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9786316593641 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 120 Format Printed THEMA Social & cultural anthropology Synopsis El dilema entre la unidad y la diferencia ha marcado al pensamiento antropológico en sus distintas modalidades, como un péndulo que no encuentra aún su equilibrio en el centro de gravedad necesario. Los ensayos reunidos en este volumen se inscriben en esa encrucijada y constituyen momentos de reflexión sobre los vínculos que unen a la antropología con la diversidad cultural. El lector encontrará por lo tanto que problemas generales de la disciplina comparten el espacio con problemas particulares de la docencia, o bien con aspectos asociados a las políticas culturales. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -
Prisioneras políticas. Estrategias de resistencia
Read moreTitle Prisioneras políticas. Estrategias de resistencia Author Isabel Toro Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9789878384108 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 176 Format Printed THEMA Political oppression & persecution Synopsis 17 life stories of women tortured and imprisoned without trial, who lived under constant threat of execution in retaliation for attacks by extreme left-wing armed groups. Most of them were released only after the collapse of the military regime in 1983. Isabel Toro, also a prisoner for seven years, did not privilege the horror of the torture sessions, but tried to shed light on how a political context had influenced each one’s personal stories and what had been the key moments; how they and their relatives had lived and given meaning to this context and the events that had constituted their culminating instances. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -

La polca de los osos
Read moreTitle La polca de los osos Author Glantz, Margo Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764662 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 408 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis This book is called The Bear Polka, a title that is perhaps enigmatic, it comes from a poem by Paul Celan, one of those obsessive poems by the poet: “Audible remains, visible remains in/ the thousand and one bedroom. Day and night/ the bear polka…”, verses that perhaps suggest a clumsy and bestial combat, at the same time the remains, what remains of what has been irrevocably lost and we would like to recover with nostalgia. And in reality, this is what my book is about: a book in which obsessive texts accumulate that complement and fight each other and give an account of several of my obsessions: eroticism, sexuality, discrimination, the struggle of women to have their own bodies, persecution, holocausts, the different and emerging forms of fascism that seems to never die completely, but rather recreate itself, to strike again. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667178 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 120 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis A collection of drawings, sketches, thoughts. Those that appear when you sit at your desk in front of a blank sheet of paper, full of expectations and the desire to do something impressive, the project of the year, your masterpiece, but it goes wrong because of nerves, you get angry, it comes out forced, nothing to do with what you imagine. The inspiring music then turns into an unbearable noise, you think: Why did I dedicate myself to this? I should have studied something else. I haven't had any water. Did I take out the trash? You get up from your chair, throw yourself on the bed and put on stripes anything to calm yourself down and get through the bad time. A giant rock on top of a tiny character. A square inside another square inside another square. That's where lucidity lies. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

La comuna mexicana
Read moreTitle La comuna mexicana Author Bosteels, Bruno Publisher EdicionesAkal México Imprint AKAL ISBN 9786078683710 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 320 Format Printed THEMA Socialismo y sistemas relacionados Synopsis Mexico, 1521; Paris, 1871. What these dates summarize are not only violent stories, marked by brutal repressions at the end of each episode, they also contain in their resistance a concern for the potential explosion of the common—an explosion whose political form would be, precisely, the commune. Beyond or here of the workers massacred 150 years ago, or the Aztecs killed 500 years ago, what this book proposes to build is a partial history of that underground tradition of communal rebellions in Mexico. Bruno Bosteels traces the survival of a social form whose aspirations, if we follow Marx's most cited texts, were embodied in the Paris Commune and verified in Russia. However, Marx also wrote about Tenochtitlan and Tlatelolco, and based on these ethnological notes, Bosteels recovers a communal tradition that remained firm throughout the colonial era and was present in the Mexican Revolution. If the calpulli was its first form, experiences such as those of Morelos, Acapulco and Edendale, to Chiapas and currently Cherán, prove that in Mexico the communal, more than a suspended time or an exceptional moment, opens an expansive form that escapes what It is thought to be immovable: an obstinacy that, through multiple isolated outbreaks, traces its path as a political ideal. foreign rights contact Jorge Betanzos E-mail jorge.betanzos@akal.com -

Author Johannes Neurath Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9789874434869 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 180 Format Printed THEMA Social & cultural anthropology Synopsis How is one to understand the real presence of the beings and characters represented in the rituals and art of Amerindian peoples? Following Gell and Severi, the idea that images have “agency” is currently accepted but could lead to simplifications since artifacts and other ritual actors do not simply have agentivity but condense a multiplicity of forms of symbolization. Amerindian cosmologies recognize the world as unstable and the emphasis is on the need to control processes. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -
