La compañia
Read moreTitle La compañia Author Gerber Bicecci, Verónica Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764860 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 216 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis “Any unhappy life can always become a hell,” Amparo Dávila once said in a story. La Compañía, by Verónica Gerber Bicecci, looks at this warning from its mirror: “any bonanza can always become an unhappy life,” by rewriting one of the most famous stories of the Zacatecan woman. As a premonition, this story reveals the psychological, environmental and social consequences that extractive projects produce in the territories where they are located. With photographs, diagrams, testimonies, reports and interviews, as well as elements of La máquina estética by the Zacatecan visual artist Manuel Felguérez, La Compañía reconstructs the history of Nuevo Mercurio, Zacatecas, a town where an abandoned and ruined mine haunts the collective memory. Writing appears here as an extractive gesture: a formal and conceptual exploration of the processes of dispossession involved in contemporary mining. This book avoids any precise classification and confirms that there is no category that suffices to describe the work of Verónica Gerber Bicecci: rewriting, photography, narrative, chronicle, fantastic story, science fiction. Writing appears here as a critical, formal and conceptual exploration of the processes of dispossession involved in contemporary mining. The Company haunts our present and embodies that monstrous creature that confronts us with the difficult question about the future. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Its premise is that it is still possible to learn from others about history, to create relationships that do not pass through disqualification, denial, expulsion and historicide. The symmetrization and proliferation of Amerindian histories requires multiplying and diversifying the parameters of “the historical” and being willing to be affected by those other histories. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -

Part history, part legend, their fight went beyond the acts to keep alive the defense of the lands and the rights achieved. However, its symbolism, like that of the Revolution, was adopted by the State to legitimize a system of abuses that contravened the achievements of the armed struggle and led to new movements in defense of workers and peasants. foreign rights contact Jorge Betanzos E-mail jorge.betanzos@akal.com -

It is student-centred and takes into account individual differences in the metacognitive-cognitive, motivational-affective, evolutionary and social factors.

Una anti-síntesis Author María Isabel Martínez; Johannes Neurath Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9789878384658 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 192 Format Printed THEMA Social & cultural history Synopsis Cosmopolitics does not have an established or generally accepted definition, since it is, rather, a way of looking at and approaching something, a way of thinking. This is why the authors propose an “anti-synthesis”, because they do not attempt to offer either a summary or an introduction to the concept. This could hinder the understanding of its most genuine meaning: to value and experience a relational thinking, open to otherness and not easily frightened in the face of a greater complexity. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -

This book shows the Argentine sailors in a battlefield that took place in the depths of the submarines, on the surfaces of the destroyers, the corvettes, the aircraft carrier, the cruiser and its rafts, in the sky of the naval aviation, and on the shores and land outposts of the marines, the tactical divers and the amphibious commandos. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851492 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 248 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis At her father's insistence that she write the family history, María José Rangel finds herself faced with a riddle. If telling a story is narrating with words what exists between a beginning and an end, through writing she will try to give meaning to the puzzle of births, accidents, deaths, unions and separations that weave the family epic. Amidst a collection of memories and nostalgia, she will also find the story of her own body and identity. Nicknamed by her sisters as Monkey Brain in allusion to the father's foolish gesture of injecting himself with monkey hormones in order to conceive her, Majo will not only chronicle those who share her genes, but also the other loves that have gradually joined her pack. Winner of the Aura Estrada International Prize in 2011, María José Ramírez has written a novel that is an altar of memory. By portraying with honesty and humor the bonds of human affections, revealing their sweet and cruel complexity, the author has built a home for ghosts, trees, wild beasts and the pristine waters of the sea. A beautiful mausoleum to pay homage to the dead and which is, therefore, a luminous celebration of life. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

He finds pleasure in hiding and spying, and when he appears in public he does so with the sole purpose of pretending to be a normal person and not arousing suspicion.
