Abstract

A subtle novel that deals with the grief of a breakup. A book about the time that passes and about the plain in which a man lives who cultivates a garden and looks and remembers and writes. This story begins in January, and is told in chapters that span several months. The protagonist establishes minimal ties with people from the rural environment in which he has self-exiled, recalls his childhood - that Italian veteran of some war who hanged himself by mistaking the lights of the town for cannon flashes; those stories that the grandmother told, perhaps real, perhaps taken from a movie ...-, evokes her arrival in the city as a student, the interest in the structure of the stories we tell, the effort to unravel the secret of how they work; and it evokes his relationship with Ciro and his break with him, which has brought him there. This subtle, elusive and beautiful novel addresses the grief of a breakup, the loneliness that activates all the senses, the secret wisdom of the illuminating verses of some poets, the need to tell stories ... This is a book about time that passes and on the plain inhabited by a man who cultivates a garden and looks and remembers and writes.

Abstract

This collection provides a long-overdue examination of the nineteenth century as a crucible of new commemorative practices. Distinctive memory cultures emerged during this period which would fundamentally reshape public and private practices of remembrance in the modern world. The essays in this volume bring together scholars of History, Literature, Art History, and Musicology to explore uses of memory in nineteenth-century empire-building and constructions of national identity, cultures of sentiment and mourning practices, and discourses of race and power. Contributors approach the topic through case studies of Europe, the United States, and the British Empire. Their analyses of nineteenth-century innovations in commemoration at both the personal and the larger civic and political levels will appeal to students and scholars of memory and of the nineteenth-century world.

Abstract

El debate acerca de la Reforma Previsional, aprobada en diciembre de 2017, inicia la actual crisis política en la Argentina. El proceso parlamentario evidenció fuertes tensiones, que se acentuaron, pocos meses después, en torno al acuerdo con el Fondo Monetario Internacional. El texto aborda las posiciones en juego y su inscripción en formaciones discursivas antagónicas, a partir de los modos de referir al afuera del recinto, las memorias que se activan y la semiotización de las emociones. El texto puede interesar a analistas del discurso y a cientistas sociales interesados tanto por el despliegue discursivo de las representaciones como por la historia argentina reciente.

Abstract

From 1925 until his death in 1929 the Hamburg-based art and cultural scholar Aby Warburg worked on his Mnemosyne Atlas, a volume of plates that has, in the meanwhile, taken on mythical status in the study of modern art and visual studies. With this project, Warburg created a visual reference system that was far ahead of its time. In cooperation with the Warburg Institute, Roberto Ohrt and Axel Heil have now undertaken the task of finding all of the individual pictures from the atlas and displaying these reproductions of artworks from the Middle East, European antiquity, and the Renaissance in the same way that Warburg himself showed them, on panels hung with black fabric. This folio volume and the exhibition in Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin succeed in restoring Warburg's vanished legacy something that researchers have long considered impossible. Aby Warburg (1866-1929), scion of a Hamburg banking family, completed his doctorate in 1892 on the Italian Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli. As a result, he comprehensively studied the interplay of myths, images and rites from different cultural contexts. This lead him to his main subject matter: the afterlife of antiquity in the Renaissance. With his attempt to break down the rigid boundaries of art history, Warburg is regarded as one of the fathers of modern pictorial science.

Abstract

Siguiendo un claro enfoque multidisciplinar, este libro presenta un balance historiográfico sobre la muerte de los príncipes en la Edad Media, tanto hispana como francesa, entendiendo el término «príncipes» en su sentido más amplio. No solo se examinan casos particulares relativos a los miembros de la familia regia, sino que se profundiza también en los diversos ámbitos de la aristocracia eclesiástica, militar y urbana. Desde la ritualización funeraria —liturgia, música—, la memoria cronística y documental, las obras de arte o su reflejo en la literatura, hasta la antropología física, los estudios presentados se enfocan a calibrar la relación de la muerte y su tratamiento con la imagen del poder que dichas élites proyectan y su emulación por parte de los restantes grupos sociales. Ce livre présente un bilan historiographique de la mort des « princes » au Moyen Age en France et dans la péninsule ibérique. Le terme de prince est pris ici dans un sens large, c’est-à-dire non seulement les membres de la famille royale, mais aussi les aristocraties ecclésiastiques, militaires et urbaines, afin d'étudier avec une approche multidisciplinaire la relation de la mort et son traitement avec l’image du pouvoir que ces élites projettent et son émulation par les autres groupes sociaux.

Abstract

The central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord, has a high metabolic demand. The physiology of the brain is such that it is easily affected by alterations in other systems, which in turn can compromise cerebral blood flow and oxygenation. Together the brain and spinal cord control the automatic function of our body systems. While other systems of body controls individual functions, central nervous system at the same time does many different functions, especially, controlling the function of other systems. This interaction between the brain and other systems is important when it comes to understanding how injuries to the brain can, at times, produce complications in remote organs or systems of the body, such as the lungs. This book explains the lesser-known crosstalks between acutely or chronically affected brain and lung, describing the pathophysiology of the lung following brain injury and discussing in detail the conflicts between the brain and lungs in relation to the tidal volumes, positive end-expiratory pressures, arterial carbon dioxide and oxygen levels, recruitment maneuvers and positioning, as well as potential therapeutic targets. .

Abstract

Connections define the functions of neurons: information flows along connections, as well as growth factors and viruses, and even neuronal death can progress through connections. Accordingly, knowing how the various parts of the brain are interconnected to form functional systems is a prerequisite for properly understanding data from all fields in the neurosciences. Clinical Neuroanatomy: Brain Circuitry and Its Disorders bridges the gap between neuroanatomy and clinical neurology. It focuses on human and primate data in the context of brain circuitry disorders, which are so common in neurological practice. In addition, numerous clinical cases are presented to demonstrate how normal brain circuitry can be interrupted, and what the effects are. Following an introduction to the organization and vascularization of the human brain and the techniques used to study brain circuitry, the main neurofunctional systems are discussed, including the somatosensory, auditory, visual, motor, autonomic and limbic systems, the cerebral cortex and complex cerebral functions. In this 2nd edition, apart from a general updating, many new illustrations have been added and more emphasis is placed on modern techniques such as diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) and network analysis. Moreover, a developmental ontology based on the prosomeric model is applied, resulting in a more modern subdivision of the brain. The new edition of Clinical Neuroanatomy is primarily intended for neurologists, neuroradiologists and neuropathologists, as well as residents in these fields, but will also appeal to (neuro)anatomists and all those whose work involves human brain mapping.
