Book excerpt: Soy es un libro basado a hechos reales de mi vida. Luego de haber practicado el cristianismo por más de 20 años, no entendía el por qué todavía sentía un bulto en mi espalda. Fue cuando entendí que en la iglesia no está lo que buscaba, lo encontré dentro de mí misma, por tal razón dejé de buscar afuera lo que está dentro de mí. Un día sentí una presencia que entró a mi cuarto y no me dio miedo, al contrario, me dio felicidad y mucha paz, y lo identifiqué como el Espíritu Santo y mis ángeles, y comenzaron a ponerme una especie de maya transparente alrededor de todo mi cuerpo día y noche, y comenzó una comunicación constante entre los ángeles y yo. Yo preguntaba y ellos me contestaban a través de telepatía y los sueños. Si todavía no sabes el propósito en tu vida y tienes preguntas que no han sido contestadas, este libro es para ti.

Book excerpt: INTIHUATANA Del Quechua: Donde se Ata al Sol El tiempo no es más que espacio entre recuerdos de vida. Una vida de renacer diario que nos conlleva a aprender una sucesión de lecciones. Pasan los años como peldaños desde donde puedo ver mejor lo absurdo, lo verosimil, lo verdadero de lo vivido, en un tiempo que realmente no pasa. Pasamos nosotros que no encontramos el escondite para el elemento tiempo que nos devora hasta desaparecernos y sustituirnos entre sus fauces del plano de este mundo, más tenemos algo eterno dentro de nosotros que el tiempo no logra corroer porque no pertenece a este mundo y tiene una gran fuerza : el espíritu. Les dejo algunas memorias de unas porciones en del espacio de mi tiempo , del Intihuatana de mi vida. Con mucho cariño, espero que la disfruten. Salud!. Intihuatana es una misteriosa escultura irregular, localizada a un extremo del Templo de las Tres Ventanas, un obervatorio Inca de la Ciudad de Macchupicchu en Perú, considerada una de las maravillas del mundo. Cuenta la Leyenda Inca, que Intihuatana era utilizado para amarrar al Sol, en un esfuerzo por evitar que se fuera, o quizá sólo para alargar el día y estirar las horas de luz. El Sol era considerado el Padre y Dios de los Incas e Intihuatana era una roca labrada ubicada en casi todas las cudades incas. Con la llegada de los españoles al Perú todas las Intihuatanas fueron destruidas permaneciendo en el tiempo solo la que existe hoy en Macchupicchu. María Belén (Maribé) escucha últimamente indefi nibles sonidos en el sótano de su casa donde por años nadie ha descendido. Su prima Mercedes, de sensibilidad especial viene para acompañarla a bajar al sótano y descubrir la procedencia de ellos. Caminando entre piezas antiguas encuentran un antiguo baúl cerrado. Después de algunos intentos logran abrirlo. Entre extrañas curiosidades encuentran unas escrituras. Quién y de qué trata todo ello? Descubren que la escritora se llama Tess. La reconocen como su antepasada. La curiosidad las distrae del objetivo por el que están en el lugar. Se entretienen leyendo rápidamente, resumiendo páginas. Tess tiene muchas cosas expresadas en papel. Casi toda una vida. Se emocionan compartiendo sus letras y vivencias . Pero no están solas. Alguien más que se manifi esta de modo incomprensible. Poco a poco se dan cuenta que son prisioneras de la realidad de si mismas y desearán escapar y vivir una nueva vida. Lo lograrán?

Download or read book Music and Digital Media written by Georgina Born and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2022-09-12 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropology has neglected the study of music and this needs to be redressed. This book sets out to show how and why. It does so by bringing music to the subfield of digital anthropology, arguing that digital anthropology has much to gain by expanding its horizons to music – becoming more interdisciplinary by reference to digital/media studies, music and sound studies. Music and Digital Media is the first comparative ethnographic study of the impact of digital media on music worldwide. It offers a radical and lucid new theoretical framework for understanding digital media through music, showing that music is today where the promises and problems of the ‘digital’ assume clamouring audibility – while acting as a testing ground for innovations in the digital-cultural industries. The book contains ten chapters, eight of which present comprehensive original ethnographies. The chapters between them addresses popular, folk and art musics in the global South and North, including Kenya, Argentina, India, Canada and the UK/Europe, with each chapter providing a different regional or digital focus. The book is unique in bringing ethnographic research on popular, folk and art musics from the global North and South into a comparative framework on a large scale, and creates an innovative new paradigm for comparative anthropology. Praise for Music and Digital Media ‘This exciting volume forges new ground in the study of local conditions, institutions, and sounds of digital music in the Global South and North. The book’s planetary scope and its commitment to the “messiness” of ethnographic sites and concepts amplifies emergent configurations and meanings of music, the digital, and the aesthetic.’ Marina Peterson, University of Texas, Austin 'The global drama of music's digitisation elicits extreme responses – from catastrophe to piratical opportunism – but between them lie more nuanced perspectives. This timely, absolutely necessary collection applies anthropological understanding to a deliriously immersive field, bringing welcome clarity to complex processes whose impact is felt far beyond what we call music.' David Toop, London College of Communication ‘Spanning continents and academic disciplines, the rich ethnographies contained in Music and Digital Media makes it obligatory reading for anyone wishing to understand the complex, contradictory, and momentous effects that digitization is having on musical cultures.’ Eric Drott, University of Texas, Austin ‘This superb collection, with an authoritative overview as its introduction, represents the state of the art in studies of the digitalisation of music. It is also a testament to what anthropology at its reflexive best can offer the rest of the social sciences and humanities.’ David Hesmondhalgh, University of Leeds ‘Music and Digital Media is a groundbreaking update to our understandings of sound, media, digitization, and music. Truly transdisciplinary and transnational in scope, it innovates methodologically through new models for collaboration, multi-sited ethnography, and comparative work. It also offers an important defense of—and advancement of—theories of mediation.’ Jonathan Sterne, McGill University 'Music and Digital Media is a nuanced exploration of the burgeoning digital music scene across both the global North and the global South. Ethnographically rich and theoretically sophisticated, this collection will become the new standard for this field.' Anna Tsing, co-editor of Feral Atlas: The More-than-Human Anthropocene

Download or read book Les Chiens Andalous written by Manuel Ocampo and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the catalogue of an exhibition of paintings and works on paper curated by artist Manuel Ocampo and featuring work by Ocampo and three of Spain's most dynamic contemporary artists: Patricio Cabrera, Chema Cobo, and Curro González. Of the many brilliant artists that the Philippine-born Ocampo met during his sojourn in Seville, the three he has included in this exhibition-Cabrera, Cobo, and González-inspired his deepest admiration. Ocampo writes in his introduction, "All three painters have established careers in their native country, so I am by no means trying to organize a show featuring a new trend in Spanish art or a survey of Andalusian artists. I have noticed, however, that only a very small number of Spanish artists are widely known in the U.S. and internationally. This exhibition is my attempt to broaden an appreciation of Spanish painters, with a focus on the province I love most.""Les Chiens Andalous" combines four outstanding artists whose visions are fortified with historical and political awareness, yet tinged with what Ocampo calls "Spanish surrealism's twisted logic." Citing the Luis Buñuel film from which the exhibition takes its name, he points out: "What the movie is notorious for is the scene depicting what some consider the most violent act committed against the eye in film history. I hope the works included in this show attack the visual senses in a similarly positive and liberating way."Texts: Introduction by Manuel Ocampo. Essay by Kevin Power.

Download or read book Microglia in Health and Disease written by Marie-Ève Tremblay and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-22 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These past few years have witnessed a revolution in our understanding of microglia, especially since their roles in the healthy central nervous system (CNS) have started to unravel. These cells were shown to actively maintain health, in concert with neurons and other types of CNS cells, providing further insight into their involvement with diseases. Edited by two pioneers in the field, Marie-Ève Tremblay and Amanda Sierra, Microglia in health and disease aims to share with the broader scientific community some of the recent discoveries in microglia research, from a broad perspective, with a collection of 19 chapters from 52 specialists working in 11 countries across 5 continents. To set microglia on the stage, the book begins by explaining briefly who they are, what they do in the healthy and diseased CNS, and how they can be studied. The first section describes in more details their physiological roles in the maturation, function, and plasticity of the CNS, across development, adolescence, adulthood, neuropathic pain, addiction, and aging. The second section focuses on their implication in pathological conditions impairing the quality of life: neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders, AIDS, and multiple sclerosis; and in leading causes of death: ischemia and stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, as well as trauma and injury.

Download or read book Nexus New York written by Deborah Cullen and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of the pioneering Caribbean and Latin American artists who resided in New York prior to WWII and shaped the American avant-garde Between 1900 and 1942, New York City was the site of extraordinary creative exchange where artists could share ideas in a global context. The swiftly changing urban landscape before and between the World Wars inspired the erosion of artistic boundaries and fostered a new climate of modernist experimentation. Nexus New Yorkfocuses on key artists from the Caribbean and Latin America who entered into dynamic cultural and social dialogues with the American-based avant-garde and participated in the development of a new modern discourse. Featuring both celebrated and little-known figures of this period, including Carlos Enríquez, Alice Neel, Marius de Zayas, Francis Picabia, Joaquín Torres-Garcia, José Clemente Orozco, Matta, and Robert Motherwell, contributing authors also discuss the specific environments in which they flourished, including the Art Students League, the Siqueiros Experimental Workshop, and the New School for Social Research. A fascinating look at 20th-century modernism, this book provides the first view of the important encounters between artists of the Americas.

Book excerpt: En una frontera sin límites e incomprensible, Héctor Charles no puede concebir la idea de dónde está, quién es ni quién fue, pero sospecha que será juzgado por una fuerza superior divina y hasta por él mismo. Héctor desciende a regiones infernales al ser obligado a revivir sistemáticamente cada uno de sus actos y los que a toda costa intenta ocultar y olvidar. Por no poder discernir en su posición inanimada su real identidad, el hombre sufre las consecuencias derivadas de la intrínseca pasión que lo llevó a un final insospechado, no solamente para él, sino para todos aquellos que en vida lo rodearon. At a limitless and incomprehensible border, Hector Charles cannot comprehend where he is, who he is, or who he was; but he suspects that he will one day be judged by a divine higher power and even by himself. Hector is descending into hellish depths as he is forced to systematically relive each of his actions, actions he tries to hide at all costs and longs to forget. As he is unable to discern his real identity in this inanimate position, he suffers the consequences that result from the intrinsic passion that brought him to an end that neither he nor all who knew him in life could have foreseen.
