Ernesto Sabato nos pone en guardia contra los peligros que aquejan nuestra cultura, ahora en la más grave encrucijada de su historia.La resistencia es un libro para aquellos que saben leer los símbolos que se abisman entre uno y el universo: la incomunicación, el narcisismo, la reverencia a los dioses de la televisión, el trabajo deshumanizado, el imperio de la máquina sobre el ser, el sometimiento y la masificación, el creciente sentimiento de orfandad, la competencia feroz y el vértigo apocalíptico en el que toda posibilidad de diálogo desaparece. Entonces la pregunta es: ¿Cómo resistir?ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONErnesto Sabato warns us against the dangers that afflict our culture, now at the most serious crossroads in its history.La resistencia is a book for those who know how to read the symbols that sink between one and the universe: lack of communication, narcissism, reverence for the gods of television, dehumanized work, the empire of the machine over being, subjection and massification, the growing feeling of orphanhood, fierce competition and apocalyptic vertigo in which all possibility of dialogue disappears. So the question is: How to resist?

Sexo, drogas y rock and roll en los Andes, este relato de viaje de tres jóvenes estadounidenses en la ruta captura el espíritu de los años 70 y describe un mundo al borde del cambio. Comenzando en California, estos inocentes se toparon con un camino de drogas, prostitución, contrabando y rock en su ida a Buenos Aires y su retorno a través de una odisea de seis meses y 20.000 kilómetros por tierra comparable a "Diarios de motocicleta" y "En el camino". Relatado a través de fotos de viaje y de historias, estos dos libros en uno describen el gran abismo cultural entre los Estados Unidos y América Latina en tiempos en que la población nativa se encuentra excluida de la sociedad moderna, y generales despiadados asesinan a los jóvenes que se les oponen. Aparentemente ajenos a los peligros que constantemente los acechan, tres hippies logran encontrar un período de libertad pura en América del Sur.

Corre el año 1892. Argentina es una nación joven, pero se encuentra entre las más pujantes y desarrolladas del mundo. Dos misteriosos agentes de la policía federal llegan al pueblo de Quequén, en la costa atlántica, para ayudar a resolver un crimen. Dos niños han sido degollados y su madre, viva, aunque en estado catatónico, es la única testigo del hecho. Uno de los agentes es Juan Vucetich, un inmigrante de origen croata que concibe un método innovador: la dactiloscopia, una disciplina que permite identificar inequívocamente a una persona por el relieve único de las crestas papilares de los dedos de la mano. Si lograran resolver un crimen tan horroroso gracias a este procedimiento, Argentina tomaría la delantera geopolítica con un logro revolucionario para la administración de los países. Con gran capacidad narrativa y una afinada precisión para describir el clima turbulento, expectante e innovador que se vivía a las puertas del siglo xx, Federico Andahazi creó una historia oscura y atrapante que indaga en personajes tan frágiles y complejos como valientes. Persecuciones, corrupción, intrigas internacionales y anarquistas revolucionarios recorren las páginas de esta novela en la que se amalgaman, de forma erudita y delicada, el disfrute y la reflexión.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION1892: Argentina is a young nation, among the most vibrant and developed in the world. Two mysterious federal police agents arrive in Quequén, a village on the Atlantic coast, to help solve a crime.   Two children were beheaded and their mother, still alive, although in a catatonic state, is the only witness to the tragedy. One of the police officers is Juan Vucetich, a Croatian immigrant who designed an innovative method: dactyloscopy -or fingerprinting- that makes it possible to unequivocally identify a person by the unique relief of the papillary ridges of the fingers. If they were able to solve such a dreadful crime using this procedure, Argentina would take the geopolitical lead with this revolutionary achievement, a gift for the administration of many countries.   With great narrative and refined precision to describe the turbulent, expectant, and innovative climate that existed at the gates of the 20th century, Federico Andahazi created a dark and captivating story that delves into characters as fragile and complex as they are brave. Persecutions, corruption, international intrigues, and revolutionary anarchists run through the pages of this novel in which enjoyment and reflection are brought together in an erudite and delicate way.

In the era of compulsive touch-ups and digital poses, perhaps it is time to re-read our body in order to rescue perhaps it is time to re-read our body in order to rescue it and embrace it with joy. it and embrace it with joy.The thirty brief chapters of Sensitive Anatomy form a celebration of the body in its glorious entirety, from the most obvious zones to those commonly less appreciated. This is a poetic, political, and hedonistic journey across the very matter that makes us. A book that questions how we see ourselves, how we are made to see, and what beauty really is. It playfully stands against the culture of Photoshop, against oppressive images, against all those edits and erasures which end up excluding the vast majority of real people.Uniting genres, genders, and generations through a collective voice, Neuman continues to extend the limits of short-form prose with irony and creative freedom. All bodies are welcome here.

Im 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert wanderten zahlreiche Personen aus Europa nach Lateinamerika aus. So ließen sich auch viele Menschen aus dem deutschsprachigen Gebiet und aus Ländern mit anderen germanischen Sprachen, etwa aus den Niederlanden oder aus Skandinavien, dort nieder. In Teilen haben sich Sprachgemeinschaften bis heute erhalten können. Der vorliegende Band widmet sich solchen Gemeinschaften, die heute Sprachminderheiten darstellen. In zwölf Beiträgen werden hoch- und niederdeutsche Sprachgemeinschaften sowie die dänische Sprachgemeinschaft in Argentinien in den Blick genommen. Dabei werden auch methodische Fortschritte ¿ z.B. durch den Aufbau von Korpora ¿ und neue Forschungsansätze durch Einbindung mehrsprachiger, didaktischer oder ökonomischer Perspektiven aufgezeigt.

"In the sweltering Argentine pampas, all things bow to Nefer. Reeds nod when she digs her heels into her horse, unripe peaches snap and fall as she gallops past. Sickly-sweet air bends, churns in Nefer s throat. Nefer measures the distance between her body and the table, and feels something filling her up, turning against her. Her belly swells. Desperate, Nefer visits a local medicine woman who is known to perform abortions but Nefer becomes too afraid to explain why she is truly there. She attends confession at church but cannot confide in the priest. During a fierce argument with her mother, she finally blurts out her secret."--

Short descriptionBrutal and overwhelming, Confession wrestles with the legacy of Argentina's past and the passions of one young girl.

Da udvandringsfeberen rasede i Danmark i anden halvdel af 1800-tallet, var USA den helt store magnet. Men over 15.000 danskere blevet tiltrukket af endnu mere eksotiske egne og slog sig ned i Sydamerika.I REJSEN MOD SYD tager Søren Flott læseren med til Argentina, som var danskernes foretrukne destination i det sydamerikanske, og fortæller historien om den såkaldte danskertrekant syd for hovedstaden Buenos Aires, hvor udvandrerne slog sig ned og skabte en danskerkoloni med danske forretninger, dansk skole og dansk kirke, så man kunne opretholde den danske kultur langt væk hjemmefra. Det betyder, at der i dag stadig tales dansk flere steder i Argentina, hvor der er 50.000 danske efterkommere.REJSEN MOD SYD, der er blevet til via arkivresearch og interviews i Danmark og Argentina, beretter også om eventyrerne, der brød med den frodige pampa og rejste ind i junglen til El Dorado, hvor de drømte om rigdom.Bogen er rigt illustreret.

An insightful case study about the effects of capitalism on the indigenous experience in northern Argentina

"Much of the existing accounts assume that investment treaties affect national governance. However, how exactly this happens has been subject to little analysis. Conventional accounts presume that these treaties improve national governance, leading to good governance and the rule of law for all. Critical accounts charge that investment treaties unduly empower foreign investors and cause a regulatory chill. On both accounts, investment treaties are expected to empower and constrain. Comparing extended case studies of Argentina, the Czech Republic, India and Mexico, this book shows how investment treaties influence national governance ideologically, institutionally, and socially"--

«Hay una notable precisión verbal y conceptual en los textos de María Sonia Cristoff. La justeza infalible que encuentran las palabras, tanto en sus crónicas como en sus novelas, parece suscitada por la nitidez de sus ideas, aunque a la vez parece suscitarla». —Martín Kohan, Clarín   Una carta sorprende a Lucrecia. Entre frases iracundas contra el trabajo y el mito del progreso, Vita, su tía recién fallecida, encriptó el mapa de un tesoro enterrado en medio de La Pampa. Poco a poco, esa voz y la sucesión de acontecimientos descabellados que desencadena trastocan sus costumbres mundanas y su férrea disciplina laboral.   Irónica y corrosiva, sin perder el sentido del humor ni por un instante, Cristoff revela el extractivismo vital que subyace a tantas prácticas contemporáneas. Del mail a la autobiografía, de la crónica de viajes al retrato y el telegrama, del teatro al cancionero anarquista, la novela se va armando en una superposición de personajes, formatos y géneros, al modo de los números de las ferias o los circos ambulantes.   Preciosamente escrita, Derroche es una brillante sátira social que homenajea a la picaresca y convoca a una fiesta de los insurrectos.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION  «There is a significant verbal and conceptual precision in María Sonia Cristoff’s texts. The infallible fairness that words find in both her chronicles and her novels seems sparked by the clarity of her ideas, though they seem to provoke it at the same time.» —Martín Kohan, Clarín A letter takes Lucrecia by surprise. Between raging lines against work and the myth of progress, Vita, her recently deceased aunt, has encrypted the map of a treasure hidden in the heart of La Pampa. Little by little, that voice and the series of outlandish events it triggers alter her mundane customs and ironclad work discipline.   Sarcastic and corrosive, while keeping her sense of humor at all times, Cristoff reveals the vital extractivism that underlies so many contemporary practices. From e-mail to autobiography, from travel chronicle to portrait and telegram, from drama to anarchist songbook, the novel builds up on a superimposition of characters, formats, and genres, in the manner of a carnival show or a traveling circus.   Beautifully written, Splurge is a brilliant social satire that pays homage to the picaresque and convenes a gathering of insurgents.

"Engarzadas como pequeänas piedras preciosas, las escenas y los momentos de esta novela arman un delicado rompecabezas que va y viene en el tiempo; es 1972, es 1976, es el Mundial de Fâutbol de 1978, es hoy. De fondo, la casa en Miramar, la casa en la playa de una familia que se desintegra. Los hijos, una nena de diez aänos y su hermano menor, asisten a los desencuentros y reconciliaciones de los padres, jâovenes, hermosos, llenos de furia y de amor. Pero tambiâen ocurre la tragedia. El padre enferma, y la niäna asimila el dolor de la despedida a travâes de un juego privado entre ellos. Su libro favorito en ese momento, Mujercitas, se convierte en el escenario privilegiado donde juegan a cuidarse y a contenerse el uno al otro. En Miramar, Gloria Peirano nos entrega una historia de amor filial y de duelo que no se olvida con el tiempo; al contrario, se agranda con el recuerdo. Una novela que emociona y nos vincula con las pâerdidas inevitables de la vida."--Back cover.

"From celebrated author Agustina Bazterrica, this collection of nineteen brutal, darkly funny short stories takes into our deepest fears and through our most disturbing fantasies. Through stories about violence, alienation, and dystopia, Bazterrica's vision of the human experience emerges in complex, unexpected ways--often unsettling, sometimes thrilling, and always profound. In "Roberto," a girl claims to have a rabbit between her legs. A woman's neighbor jumps to his death in "A Light, Swift, and Monstrous Sound," and in "Candy Pink," a woman fails to contend with a difficult breakup in five easy steps."--

The second-largest country in South America, Argentina has been through great changes in recent years. Its journey from dictatorship to democracy has left many scars, but these are largely eclipsed by the pride and resilience of the Argentinian people, who have developed a style, a language, and a joie de vivre that are all their own.The political maelstroms the country has experienced have had a profound effect on its economy, its people, and its relationship with the rest of the world. Despite this, the generosity, warmth, and openness of the Argentinians continue to place Argentina at the top of any list of must-visit countries. Its unique geography provides a plethora of enticing and captivating destinations, from the mesmerizing wonders of the glaciers or the bucolic landscapes of the Andes valleys to the buzz and excitement of Buenos Aires, famous for its nightlife, gastronomy, and cultural life.This new, updated edition of Culture Smart! Argentina looks at the attitudes and values of the people today and how they have adapted to the challenges and events over the last decade. From their immense pride in an Argentinian pope, to their passion for football and their constant striving for political and economic stability, this book provides a key to understanding the richness and complexity of Argentinian culture. It focuses on their attitude to life, business, and family to help you adapt to their working style and practices, so that you know how to behave appropriately and what to expect in return. It touches upon how Argentinian identity has been shaped over time and the reasons behind many of the traditions, beliefs, and norms of these complicated but amazing people.

This book explores the twists and turns in Argentina's modern economic history and the debates that raged there around a problem common to all former colonies: how to achieve a level of economic growth for its population in a world characterized by unequal economic relations between the industrialized nations of the north and the commodity producers of the south.This new perspective examines the history of ideas surrounding industrialization and economic development in Argentina, drawing on a rigorous investigation of multiple sources. It demonstrates Argentina's role as a laboratory for and disseminator of ideas that would eventually become the common property of all the developing world. Influential thinkers such as Raúl Prebisch and Aldo Ferrer, leading figures in twentieth century Latin American economic thought, developed important ideas such as unequal international trade relations, the promise and limits of Import Substitution Industrialization, the role of the state in the development of a national capitalism. These were the forerunners of similar concerns in other countries in Latin America and elsewhere in the world.The book will be of interest to historians, economists, sociologists of economic development, and related disciplines concerned with questions of global economic inequality.

El Mas Grande is the story of Argentina's most successful football club, River Plate. It traces River's development, from humble origins to footballing powerhouse, exploring the great teams and legendary players who have worn the distinctive white shirt with red sash while enchanting generations of fans with their stylish play.

The book is presented as an Atlas where the map plays a fundamental role in the study of quality of life, as it shows its progression in Argentina from the 19th to the 21st Century. In the book, it can be observed how the concept has evolved along with the dimensions and variables that better represent its spatial distribution. This is one of the original points of the book: the temporal study of the living conditions of the argentine population, empirically and spatially, emphasizing their territorial representation.Although the book maintains the same socioeconomic dimensions (education, health and housing), the tour through the different chapters offers a historical window that allows the reader to know what the forms of information collection were like in different historical moments.This book is written for geographers and members of the scientific community interested in the study of the well-being of the population. It also allows us to observe the evolution of the quality of life from the 19th century to the 21st, so it may be of interest to historians as well.

«La venganza no se produce de la manera esperada por nadie. La preocupación, finalmente, es encontrar el pase mágico que permita la comprensión de la existencia». –Mariana Enriquez   «Un hijo no debe vivir bajo el mismo cielo que el asesino de su padre». Con esta frase de Confucio inicia Un crimen japonés, exquisita novela ambientada en el Japón medieval. Yutaka Tanaka, señor feudal de la provincia de Sagami, debe vengar la muerte de su padre, asesinado por una banda de samuráis enmascarados. La investigación del crimen lo lleva a los campos de batalla, a las intrigas cortesanas y sus traiciones. Como un príncipe que no llega a comprender, Yutaka enfrentará la fascinación de los autómatas, las maniobras sentimentales de dama Ashikaga y los secretos del sokushinbutsu.   Tan oriental como argentina, la última novela de Daniel Guebel es un relato policial, una especulación sobre los reinos de ultratumba, una fantástica y melancólica historia de amor.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION «Revenge does not occur in the manner anyone expected. In the end, the concern is to find that magical pass that enables the understanding of existence.» —Mariana Enríquez  «A son must not live under the same sky as his father’s killer.» With this quote by Confucius, A Japanese Crime opens, an exquisite novel set in medieval Japan. Yutaka Tanaka, feudal lord of the Sagami province, must avenge the death of his father, murdered by a group of masked samurai. The crime investigation takes him to battlefields, court intrigues, and betrayals. As a prince who fails to understand, Yutaka will face the allure of automatons, the sentimental maneuvers of lady Ashikaga, and the sokushinbutsu secrets.   As much Asian as it is Argentinian, Daniel Guebel’s latest novel is a detective story, a speculation about the kingdoms beyond the grave, and a superb and melancholic love story.

Grove chronicles not only his own fascinating Anglo-Argentinian background growing up in Buenos Aires but also the political history of the tango. He writes, 'In the troubled times of Juan and Evita Peron, the middle classes detested the music and dance so adored by porteños, the ordinary people of Buenos Aires. Too proletarian, sexy and subversive. These days the tango has enthusiasts worldwide, from Finland to Japan, but I didn't see anyone dance it until I was 18 and didn't attempt it myself until I was nearly 60.' He also details the terrifying moment his father was kidnapped by urban guerrillas and his anguish over the Falklands war.
