Antropología e historia de las políticas culturales del siglo XX Author María Alonso Bolaños Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9789878918662 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 138 Format Printed THEMA Social & cultural anthropology Synopsis Where does what is defined as music, indigenous and national begin and end? It is not a question here of describing or theorizing about national musics, but of the discourse models that concern them, their promotion and conservation practices, the cultural policies surrounding them, the disciplines that investigate them, postulate them as themes or simply parasitize them. This is a genuine act of “invention”, of social construction, which establishes actors, purposes and responsible parties. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -

Serie de circunstancias posibles en torno a una mujer mexicana de clase trabajadora
Read moreTitle Serie de circunstancias posibles en torno a una mujer mexicana de clase trabajadora Author Segura, Yolanda Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851331 Edition number 2 Publication year 2023 Pages 80 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis In the space that poetry opens between the flow of everyday words, a series of possible circumstances surrounding a working-class Mexican woman, she analyzes one of the core concepts of the capitalist economy. What is the “middle class”? Who is part of it? Is there a way to describe it, to count it? Are its members defined by the calculation of their income, what they own or dream of? By their future projects? While reflecting on these questions, Yolanda Segura tells the story of Eloísa, a woman born in the 1940s who has worked since she was very young. With a stable job and a secure salary, she soon faces the possibility of getting married and having a family. She wants to guarantee herself a prosperous and happy existence. Will it be enough to have a husband, to work her day, to obtain a mortgage loan? Why does the economic growth of a person or a country always happen in the future and never in the present? Do financial benefits increase social well-being? In the midst of inflation and wage cuts, of crisis and debt, how will she manage her time, desires and affections? Are there other ways to invent a livable life for a working woman? For Yolanda Segura, a poem is a form of resistance, a way of cancelling the economic value of language. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx
