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 -

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 -
Los últimos hijos

Their perfect and stable middle-class life is turned upside down when the pregnancy they were so excited about is interrupted and they lose the child who would complete their happiness. But tragedies do not come alone, and a gang of thieves desecrates the couple's home. In a desperate and blind attempt to balance their lives, the protagonists will become the perpetrators and rob the thieves of a very precious possession. Then comes an escape along the roads of the north of the country. In these passages, the novelist offers beautiful and hallucinatory descriptions of the desert, its mountains, its vastness and its towns, until the moment arrives when each character confronts their deepest and most unspeakable feelings. This disturbing novel confirms Antonio Ramos as a first-rate narrator. It is a reflection on the nature of the human being, that being tormented by his desires, always determined to seek his happiness in the place that seems to be the least suitable. Antonio Ramos recently received the 2015 UANL Arts Award for his literary career. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Mucha madre
Read moreTitle Mucha madre Author Fuentes Silva, Andrea Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764594 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 304 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Mucha madre is a collective book coordinated and edited by Andrea Fuentes. In it, eleven writers –Gabriela Jauregui, Luisa Fuentes Guaza, Clarisa Moura, Andrea Fuentes, Abril Castro, Violeta Celis, Pilar Villela, Sara Schulz, Ave Barrera, Jazmina Barrera and Gina Jaramillo– and eight illustrators –Amanda Mijangos, Sol Undurraga, Liz Meville, Rachel Levit, Gala Navarro, Sonia Pulido, María Luque and Carmen Segovia– share their ideas, experiences and practices of motherhood to reinvent it. With a language made of words and images, this book is a kaleidoscope that brings together the thoughts and feelings of women with different stories, whose reflections relate their experiences of mothering at different ages and sexual preferences or thanks to fertility treatments; they talk about raising children as single mothers or as stepmothers, they discuss the division of child care within couples, weaning, breastfeeding, and even the refusal to write about being a mother or the decision not to be one. Mucha Madre is a book that relies on diversity; each text shows that there is not just one motherhood, but many motherhoods that, in their multiplicity, call for a collective and urgent conversation in which we all – mothers or not – are part of. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Read moreTitle El granizo sobre la sangre. El chamanismo católico de los otomíes del centro de México Author Carlos Arturo Hernández Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9789878918655 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 216 Format Printed THEMA Social & cultural anthropology Synopsis This book details the multiple ways in which both worlds (Otomí/mbœhe) negotiate their coexistence through pacts of mutual devouring, with a marked cosmopolitical accent. It describes in its pages the Otomi Catholic shamanism, which postulates that the conversion of the indigenous souls demanded to become also the same body of Christ. This lives, captured, both in the body of his mēfi (who are his “workers”, chosen by means of lightning and illness and with whom he establishes conjugal alliances), and in the territory that they defend with determination. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com
