Deudas, pobreza y derecho Author Emilia Schijman Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9789878918648 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 192 Format Printed THEMA Sociology: family & relationships Synopsis A total ethnography, which finds in debts and in law two great operators of social life. In it, the author breaks down the modes of operation of collective law by showing procedures, rituals, coercive measures and sanctions. It is a living law that reinterprets and completes written law and has an effective way of functioning: it generates obligations. Here, living law is articulated with living debt, modulating a collective order full of precariousness, but also of solidarity, risk and protection. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -

Mar negro
Read moreTitle Mar negro Author Esquinca, Bernardo Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667369 Edition number 1 Publication year 2020 Pages 186 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis For a time I lived near the pyramids of the Templo Mayor. I walked every day through the streets of the Historic Center, paying attention to the signs. I am convinced that Mexico City wants to tell me stories, and that destiny is palpable in the stories of Mar Negro: the most emblematic building on the Eje Central called upon its different avatars in "Torre Latino", the eternal FOR RENT sign on an old building made me imagine the secret history of the city in "Like two drops of water falling into the sea"; a helpless neighbor and his suspicious attitude led me to invent a double life for him in "The Blind Man"; the Plaza de las Tres Culturas and its bloody past suggested a just revenge, in zombie style, in "The Other Night of Tlatelolco". Apart from my obsession with the place that once housed the Great Tenochtitlán, there is much more in these pages. Mutant creatures that thrive in the shelter of the Bacalar lagoon; A pair of twins connected to Neil Armstrong and the dark side of the Moon; a woman determined to revive her dead lover at any cost; a collector of haunted dolls who receives a mysterious gift; and a vampire who escapes from his grave in the Bulgarian town of Sozopol. This last reference to the Black Sea represents for me the spirit of the book: a state of the soul where the supernatural is possible. An extension that, above all, is located within the mind; in the superstitions and abysses created by the imagination. To understand it, it is necessary to swim in the depths of these waters. Bernardo Esquinca. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -
Solo somos sombras
Read moreTitle Solo somos sombras Author José, Pergentino Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851300 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 120 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis In the midst of a smallpox outbreak that threatens to decimate the population of a Zapotec community, Lisnit and Néstor must fight to make their professed love for each other possible. Victims of state violence, the lovers deal with the traumas of the anger inflicted on their bodies and their memory. After Hormigas rojas, his celebrated collection of short stories, Pergentino José has written a first novel in which Spanish, inoculated from one language to another – Zapotec – acquires a unique vitality and rhythm. Built from ellipses and fragments, Solo somos sombras is a book about the opacity of memory, the veils that time runs over it and the fate of evanescence to which it condemns us. With a stylistic strategy as risky as it is precise, José offers us the contours of an intense plot; the shadow in which, thanks to its density and lyricism, we are able to recognize urgent issues for our societies: the colonial past, the displacement of entire communities for the extraction of natural resources, the annihilation of non-capitalist cosmogonies and the trauma of dispossession and misery that these processes entail. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx
