A people's history of the portuguese revolution
Hoy -5% en Libros

Varela, Raquel

On the 25th April 1974, a coup destroyed the ranks of Portugal’s fascist Estado Novo government as the Portuguese people flooded the streets of Lisbon, placing red carnations in the barrels of guns and demanding a ‘land for those who work in it’.This became the Carnation Revolution - an international coalition of working class and social movements, which also incited struggles for independence in Portugal’s African colonies, the rebellion of the young military captains in the national armed forces and the uprising of Portugal’s long-oppressed working classes. It was through the organising power of these diverse movements that a popular-front government was instituted and Portugal withdrew from its overseas colonies.Cutting against the grain of mainstream accounts, Raquel Cardeira Varela explores the role of trade unions, artists and women in the revolution, providing a rich account of the challenges faced and the victories gained through revolutionary means.

The lusiads
Hoy -5% en Libros

Vaz de Camoes, Luis

First published in 1572, The Lusiads is one of the greatest epic poems of the Renaissance, immortalizing Portugal's voyages of discovery with an unrivalled freshness of observation.At the centre of The Lusiads is Vasco da Gama's pioneer voyage via southern Africa to India in 1497-98. The first European artist to cross the equator, Camoes's narrative reflects the novelty and fascination of that original encounter with Africa, India and the Far East. The poem's twin symbols are the Cross and the Astrolabe, and its celebration of a turning point in mankind's knowledge of the world unites the old map of the heavens with the newly discovered terrain on earth. Yet it speaks powerfully, too, of the precariousness of power, and of the rise and decline of nationhood, threatened not only from without by enemies, but from within by loss of integrity and vision.

Forster, E.M.

A new selection of E. M. Forster's exquisite short stories, now in the beautifully designed Penguin English Library Series.'We created the Machine, to do our will, but we cannot make it do our will now. It has robbed us of the sense of space and of the sense of touch, it has blurred every human relation and narrowed down love to a carnal act, it has paralyzed our bodies and our wills, and now it compels us to worship it.'Like his much-loved novels, E. M. Forster's short stories are rich in irony and alive with sharp observations on the surprises life holds. Telling tales of violent events, discomforting coincidences, and other disruptive happenings, his sharp and vivid prose has the ability to throw the characters', and reader's, perceptions and beliefs off balance.Selected to appeal to a new generation of readers around the world, this new selection of short stories in the Penguin English Library series celebrates E. M. Forster's unparalleled skill for storytelling, beginning with his masterful work of science fiction, The Machine Stops.

David Diao
Hoy -5% en Libros

Tinari, Philip

Tracing a remarkably varied career, this monograph on the painter David Diao follows his stylistic evolution-from abstraction to genre-defying and candid self-exploration.,his book accompanies the first full-scale retrospective of David Diao's entire oeuvre. It is a career of twists and turns- Diao's work was originally influenced by the New York School of the 1960s before he became obsessed with the work of Barnett Newman, referencing many of the artist's paintings in his own. After a period of restless inactivity, Diao's most recent works touch on his personal history as a Chinese immigrant in America, modernist architecture, and identity politics. In addition to spectacular reproductions of Diao's work over four decades, this comprehensive book features illustrations and essays on Diao's treatment of identity and his aversion to categorization, and analysis of Diao's work as a method of capturing the process of forgetting and the inherent fallibility of art historical memory. Long overdue, this book celebrates Diao's unique vision and art.

The United Nations and collective security in the face of global threats: from Ukraine and Russia to Iran, Syria and Afghanistan (Papel + e-book)
Hoy -5% en Libros

García Magariño, Sergio

This book covers some of the key global dynamics of our age. It aspires to assist the non-specialized reader, as well as the specialized one, to understand the world we live in, the forces that affect our coexistence, the trends that will shape our future and the promising avenues for peace and prosperity. Globalization, collective security, the connection between human rights, development and peace will be some of the concepts upon which the book aims to shed some light in a rigorous but a didactic manner. In addition, those complex cases that rarely are explained in the divulgative media, such as the functioning of the United Nations and its mechanisms for conflict resolution, Daesh and Al-Qaeda, the Palestinian conflict, the Arab Spring, the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan and the violence in Afrika will be examined balancing the details with the need to be pedagogical. In brief, this work is an attempt, on the one hand, to describe and explain the forces and threats that were present and contributed to the upsurge of coronavirus pandemics, such as climate change and the exploitation of nature and, on the other, to set some hopeful paths and to inform policies to rearrange our order: if social dynamics are global, global should be our political governance too. Finally, the book approaches, from an innovative and enlightening manner, the ins and outs of the Russian aggression to Ukraine.

La monografía definitiva sobre la obra del escultor, artista de instalaciones y pionero del Arte Povera Luciano FabroLuciano Fabro fue miembro fundador y luego crítico principal de Arte Povera, el movimiento artístico basado en materiales y experiencias que comenzó en Italia a fines de la década de 1960. Continuó siendo exhibido internacionalmente, convirtiéndose en el primer artista del grupo en recibir una importante retrospectiva en los EE. UU., en el Museo de Arte Moderno de San Francisco en 1992. Fabro fue un artista controvertido, pero aún así un favorito de la crítica: en 2018 el arte líder la publicación The Brooklyn Rail dedicó un número entero a Fabro, y la crítica del New York Times, Roberta Smith, escribió que Fabro trató ''la creación artística menos como una profesión y más como un experimento continuo destinado a mantenerse entretenido y al espectador un poco fuera de balance''. Esta monografía completa y muy ilustrada es la primera descripción completa de la vida y carrera de Fabro, escrita por la estimada crítica y curadora Margit Rowell, quien interactuó repetidamente con Fabro en sus últimos años, y se publica con el apoyo y la participación total del patrimonio del artista y galerías internacionales, Paula Cooper (Nueva York), Christian Stein (Milán) y Simon Lee (Londres y Hong Kong).

New Surrealism
Hoy -5% en Libros

Zeller, Robert

New Surrealism: The Uncanny in Contemporary Painting de Robert Zeller ofrece una amplia exposición tanto del Surrealismo histórico como de su legado en el mundo del arte.Demuestra las muchas maneras en que el movimiento artístico más significativo del siglo pasado sigue siendo relevante hoy en día, presentando una selección internacional de artistas contemporáneos cuyas composiciones y práctica de estudio revelan su influencia.Son muchas las modalidades del Surrealismo histórico que aún mantienen su vigencia contemporánea: la presentación de lo familiar como desconocido e inquietante, la yuxtaposición de imágenes aparentemente inconexas, el uso del absurdo para criticar cuestiones políticas o sociales, y la utilización de imágenes eróticas en un contexto irracional y no lineal. No todos los artistas reunidos en este libro se identifican a sí mismos como surrealistas, pero cada uno utiliza alguna variante del surrealismo de manera personal.El libro comienza con un estudio de los orígenes, el liderazgo, los artistas participantes y los principales hitos del surrealismo histórico. Zeller hace una crónica del movimiento a partir del final de la Primera Guerra Mundial y el nacimiento de Dadá. Los protagonistas y acontecimientos más importantes aparecen a lo largo de la cronología de los hechos -incluida la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y artistas tan notables como Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, Leonora Carrington y muchos otros- hasta la muerte de su líder André Breton en 1966.A continuación, Zeller analiza cómo se ponen en práctica los elementos del Nuevo Surrealismo en el mundo del arte contemporáneo. La segunda sección ofrece un estudio de 29 artistas contemporáneos que participan en las variaciones aparentemente ilimitadas de los temas originales del Nuevo Surrealismo, como Rosa Loy, Glenn Brown y Arghavan Khosravi. La tercera sección presenta a 14 artistas, entre ellos importantes artistas contemporáneos como Inka Essenhigh, Ginny Casey y Anna Weyant, que hablan de la influencia del Surrealismo en su práctica de estudio, detallando con sus propias palabras cómo crean una composición de principio a fin.

Greer, Sierra

Annie is a robot, created to be the perfect girlfriend and satisfy the emotional and physical needs of her human boyfriend Doug. She has dinner ready for him after he gets back from work. She wears the clothes he buys for her. She can even raise her libido on command and warm her body to 98.6°F before sex. Yes, sometimes she forgets to clean, but she’s trying to be good enough for Doug. She’s trying really hard. But as Annie grows more self aware she begins to chafe against the borders of her life: the empty weeks she spends unable to leave the apartment, the regimens of yoga and cycling designed to keep her part organic body fit, the appointments with technicians on top of that to shave inches off her waistline. Worst of all are Doug’s bad moods, and the ways he knows to punish her without even raising his voice. Annie starts to wonder. What would life be like outside Doug’s apartment? What would life be like without Doug?
