El granizo sobre la sangre. El chamanismo católico de los otomíes del centro de México
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 -
El espejo de la guerra. Sociedad y cultura en el siglo XX
Read moreTitle El espejo de la guerra. Sociedad y cultura en el siglo XX Author María Inés Tato Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9786316503367 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 172 Format Printed THEMA Social & cultural history Synopsis War is an essentially social phenomenon. Far from being fought exclusively on the battlefield, it also involves society, which demands men to swell the ranks of its armies and material resources to sustain itself in space and time, to which it imposes sacrifices and hardships. However, this mobilization incited by the State to sustain the war effort is not unilateral, but is often in dialogue with initiatives emanating from society itself. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -
El dios de los ladrones. La disputa por los sentidos del mundo
Read moreTitle El dios de los ladrones. La disputa por los sentidos del mundo Author Martin Grassi Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9789878384702 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 136 Format Printed THEMA Philosophy Synopsis Hermes is a god of Greek mythology who fascinates by his ambivalences and ambiguities. Without having a place in the Greek pantheon, being an intermediary between Olympus and Earth, he is a patron of those who share his nomadic condition. He is the god of merchants, travelers, translators and communicators... and he is also the patron of thieves. In this game of robberies, trades, exchanges, debts and offers, language shows its ambivalence as a space of communion and conflict. It is here that the dispute over the meanings of the world takes place. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -
El Corte. Creación y dualidad entre los Aztecas
Read moreTitle El Corte. Creación y dualidad entre los Aztecas Author Giulio Salvestrini Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9786316593337 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 186 Format Printed THEMA Social & cultural anthropology Synopsis "Over the course of three chapters - The Myth, The Image, and Diphrasism - this work addresses mythic narratives, iconographic interpretations, and linguistic expressions to reveal the complexity of the concepts of duality and creation in Aztec thought. With emphasis on the interplay between life and death, activity and passivity, as well as creation and destruction, it invites us to reflect on the ontological foundations of their worldview. In this framework, it shows how rupture represents the true symbol of being and its creative process. "

El arte del retrato
Read moreTitle El arte del retrato Author Louis Marion Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9789878918495 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 212 Format Printed THEMA Semiotics / semiology Synopsis "The work of Louis Marin (1931-1992), French philosopher, historian and semiotician, became an essential reference for understanding the relationships between images and texts, between the visible and the legible. For the author, words can paint and pictures can be read. Reflection on these movements and exchanges allow to deepen the reflexive dimension of representation, its “opacity”. The art of portraiture explores the intertwinements between discourse and image, between reading and seeing, themes that accompanied Louis Marin throughout his life.”" foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -
El antropólogo en la escena etnográfica. Implicación y lazo emergente
Read moreTitle El antropólogo en la escena etnográfica. Implicación y lazo emergente Author Ariel Gravano Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9789878384160 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 155 Format Printed THEMA Social & cultural anthropology Synopsis The desire to understand others and their worlds is not only an ambition of the anthropologist, but also of practitioners who, focused on face-to-face relationships, need both an “intellectually critical” knowledge of the addressees themselves and their world and a critical awareness of their effects on interaction with them. This book illustrates an exemplary avenue offered by anthropological research, assuming that unease and vulnerability as constitutive of the gesture of understanding. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -

The work addresses the vagaries and contradictions of this problematic construction, pointing out its recurrence in different moments of Paraguayan history and encouraging the possibility of discussing the concept of identity as a full and closed presence.

Diálogos amerindios sobre historia, territorio y medio ambiente
Read moreTitle Diálogos amerindios sobre historia, territorio y medio ambiente Author María Isabel Martínez Ramírez (coord.) Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9786316593573 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 240 Format Printed THEMA Social & cultural history Synopsis Contemporary Amerindian histories cannot be enunciated in the singular. Their multiplicity and plurality cannot be reduced to a simple contrast with disciplinary history or state histories. But what happens to history when perspectives and points of enunciation multiply? What are the analytical and social effects of constructing with Amerindian populations the questions, methods, research instruments, definition of sources, chronologies and other tools of study for history? foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -
Cuerpos bajo vigilancia. Las mujeres en las misiones jesuíticas del Chaco
Read moreTitle Cuerpos bajo vigilancia. Las mujeres en las misiones jesuíticas del Chaco Author Beatriz Vitar Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9789878918525 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 276 Format Printed THEMA Social & cultural history Synopsis The world of indigenous women in the missions had remained practically unexplored until now. This book by Beatriz Vitar is the first synthesis on the subject, with an outstanding degree of erudition. The question of the body as a space for the exercise of power is presented as a cardinal node of reflection that allows us to identify phenomena of conflict, coercion, violence, resistance and negotiation where only an idyllic world of encounters had been seen.

Viveiros de Castro – Philippe Descola – Bruno Latour Author Carlos Reynoso Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9789871984114 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 312 Format Printed THEMA Social & cultural anthropology Synopsis Under the name of “Amerindian perspectivism”, both the multinaturalism of Brazilian anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro and the animism of Frenchman Philippe Descola have become popular. This book brings to light the flaws that run through the theoretical models of perspectivism and the misunderstandings that affect its appropriation of scientific and mathematical concepts that have not been fully understood. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -
Cosmopolítica y cosmohistoria. Una anti-síntesis
Read moreTitle Cosmopolítica y cosmohistoria. 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 -
Cómo lograr la competencia acuática. El método acuático comprensivo
Read moreTitle Cómo lograr la competencia acuática. El método acuático comprensivo Author Juan Antonio Moreno Murcia Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9789874434760 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 182 Format Printed THEMA Swimming Synopsis This work proposes a new approach to aquatic education, with a motivating methodology that encourages action, improves attention and reaction time, transfers the learned to social context and promotes the regulation of positive emotions. It is student-centred and takes into account individual differences in the metacognitive-cognitive, motivational-affective, evolutionary and social factors. All this is based on learning to use intelligence to actively direct the action of their behaviour in favour of their autonomy. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com
