        The Augustinian University Press concentrates its efforts in the publication of research books, textbooks, and dissemination books as a result of permanent calls that intend to receive and review monographs and research chapters. The Press permanently works to guarantee content quality published under its editorial stamp and also to be recognized among the academic community as a reliable source of scholarly publishing in Augustinian Studies, Education (from all levels), Humanities, Social Sciences, and Arts and Culture. Since its creation in 2017, the Press research books have been already accepted and indexed in important databases such as the Book Citation Index and the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB). This experience has strengthened our editorial processes and the permanent identification of current editing and science communication tendencies. The Press also promotes net working to publish new editorial projects between our researchers and external scholars; we do believe this is one of the most important strategies to make our institution and scholars more visible.

        Directors talk theat

        by Maria M. Delgado, P. P. Heritage

        In 1994 the Arts Council of Great Britain brought together a number of theatre directors as part of the City of Drama celebrations. This is a collection of interviews and discussions with directors who have helped shape the development of theatre in the last 20 years. They include Peter Brook, Peter Stein, Augusto Boal, Jorge Lavelli, Lluis Pasqual, Lev Dodin, Maria Irene Fornes, Jonathan Miller, Jatinder Verma, Peter Sellars, Declan Donnellan, Ariane Mnouchkine, Ion Caramitru, Yukio Ninagawa and Robert Wilson. In addition to the art and craft of directing, there are discussions on multiculturalism; the "classical" repertoire; theatre companies and institutions; working in a foreign language; opera; Shakespeare; new technologies; the art of acting; design; international festivals; politics and aesthetics; the audience; and theatre and society. Finally, there is an epilogue by Peter Brook, Jonathan Miller and Oliver Sacks. ;

        Roman

        by Augusto Roa Bastos, Elke Wehr

        Augusto Roa Bastos wurde 1917 in Iturbe, einem kleinen Dorf in Paraguay, geboren, in dem er auch seine Kindheit in nahem Kontakt zu der einheimischen Kultur der Guaraní verbrachte. Nachdem er einige Theaterstücke verfaßt hatte, führte ihn sein Weg 1945 als Journalist nach Europa, wo er sich in England, Frankreich und Deutschland aufhielt und über das Ende des zweiten Weltkriegs und über das Nürnberger Kriegsverbrechertribunal berichtete. Zwischen 1947 und 1976 hielt er sich in Buenos Aires auf und folgte dann einem Ruf der Universität Toulouse, als sich in Argentinien die Militärdiktatur etablierte. In Frankreich lehrte er bis 1989 als Professor für lateinamerikanische Literatur und Guaraní. Nach dem Sturz des Militärdiktators Alfredo Stroessner kehrte er in seine Heimat Paraguay zurück, wo er am 26. April 2005 in Asunción verstarb. Von seinen zahlreichen Romanen ist der Diktatorenroman Ich der Allmächtige der bekannteste und bedeutendste dieses lateinamerikanischen Genres. Augusto Roa Bastos gilt als einer der herausragendsten Vertreter der lateinamerikanischen Literatur. Neben zahlreichen anderen Preisen wurde er 1989 mit dem Premio Cervantes, dem bedeutendsten Literaturpreis der spanischsprachigen Welt, ausgezeichnet. Elke Wehr, geboren 1946 in Bautzen und verstorben 2008 in Berlin, studierte Romanistik in Paris und Heidelberg. Zunächst konzentrierte sie sich auf Italienisch und Französisch, später legte sie ihren Schwerpunkt auf das Spanische. Seit den 1970er Jahren übersetzte sie spanische und lateinamerikanische Prosa ins Deutsche. Elke Wehr lebte in Madrid und Berlin.

        Gesammelte Werke (und andere Geschichten)

        by Augusto Monterroso, Nicolas Mahler, Svenja Becker

        Als vor einem halben Jahrhundert in Lateinamerika eine besonders üppige Literatur wucherte, ging Augusto Monterroso einen ganz anderen Weg – er, der Seelenverwandte Kafkas und Borges`, züchtete eine Prosa, die sich durch Verknappung und Scharfsinnig-, bisweilen Boshaftigkeit auszeichnete. Gesammelte Werke (und andere Geschichten) versammelt dreizehn seiner legendären Geschichten – darunter die kürzeste der Weltliteratur, aus einem einzigen schütteren Satz bestehend! –, subtil subversive, hochkomische Geschichten von Dinosauriern, Sonnenfinsternissen, Kopfjägern und Büroangestellten. Diese schillernd geschliffenen Gebilde Monterrosos hat Nicolas Mahler mit charakteristisch minimalen und skurrilen Illustrationen bereichert.

        Das Schwarze Schaf und andere Fabeln

        Mit Illustrationen von Henning Wagenbreth

        by Augusto Monterroso, Svenja Becker

        40 zur äußersten Knappheit geschliffene Minigeschichten von wenigen Zeilen bis zu zweieinhalb Seiten – längst berühmt in der gesamten spanischsprachigen Welt und endlich auf deutsch zu entdecken. Vor der eleganten, subtil subversiven Kurzprosa von Augusto Monterroso, dem großen Schriftsteller der kleinen Form, haben sich viele seiner Schriftstellerkollegen verbeugt. Carlos Fuentes schrieb über Das schwarze Schaf und andere Fabeln: »Man stelle sich Borges’ phantastisches Bestiarium beim Tee mit Alice im Wunderland vor. Oder Jonathan Swift in privater Korrespondenz mit James Thurber. Man stelle sich den Springfrosch von Calaveras in die Lektüre von Mark Twain vertieft vor. Voilà: Monterroso.« Auf die Frage, was Literatur kann und soll, sagte er selbst einmal: »Den Geist beschäftigen. Die Welt der Vorstellungskraft leiten. Diesem in allen Menschen vorhandenen Bedürfnis Nahrung geben. Ausdrücken, was andere nicht auszudrücken vermögen. Ihnen die Augen für etwas öffnen, wofür sie keine Augen hatten, weil sie abgelenkt waren, zu bequem oder zu ängstlich. In unserer wie in jeder Epoche.« Henning Wagenbreth hat Monterrosos schimmernden, scharfkantigen Preziosen hintersinnig-spielerische Illustrationen beigegeben.

        The Paris jigsaw

        Internationalism and the city's stages

        by Maria M. Delgado, Maggie B. Gale, Peter Lichtenfels

        Paris has always exerted a magnetic force on artists; it has historically offered safety to those escaping oppressive regimes in Europe and farther afield. In recent years it has welcomed performers, artists and intellectuals from all over the world, offering strategies for the practice of theatre in a new Europe of ever-shifting boundaries. This book, once again available in paperback, examines the creation and development of communities of actors, directors, designers and playwrights in Paris over the past thirty years. It shows how the willingness of the city to welcome international influences has enriched its creative life. Many of the most important trends and new developments in the art of theatre have been the direct result of the creative combination of influences from all over the world. This study demonstrates how the pioneering work of Brook, Boal, Mnouchkine, Lecoq and many others has been able to draw on this vibrant, multi-cultural mix, in turn creating new work that has enriched theatre's potential to enlarge our thinking and our imagination. ;

        The Pinochet Plot

        by David Myles Robinson

        Successful San Francisco attorney Will Muñoz has heard of the brutal former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, of course, but it's not until he receives his mother's suicide letter that he has any inkling Pinochet may have had his father, Chilean writer Ricardo Muñoz, assassinated thirty years earlier.Her suspicions spur Will on to a quest to discover the truth about his father's death–and about the psychological forces that have driven his mother to her fatal decision. His journey takes him deep into unexpected darkness linking his current step-father, the CIA, drug-experimentation programs, and a conspiracy of domestic terrorism. The Pinochet Plot is not just a story of a man seeking inner peace; it is also a story of sinister history doomed to repeat itself.

        This book describes entomopathogenic and slug parasitic nematodes as potential biocontrol agents in crop insect and slug pest management. Addressing research on these two nematodes from tropical, subtropical and temperate countries, it covers the new techniques and major developments regarding mass production, formulation, application, commercialization and safety measures. Plans for future strategies to make these beneficial nematodes cost-effective and expand their use by including them in integrated pest management programmes in different agro-ecosystems are also discussed. Biocontrol Agents: Entomopathogenic and Slug Parasitic Nematodes provides a comprehensive review of the topic and is an essential resource for researchers, industry practitioners and advanced students in the fields of biological control and integrated pest management. ; This book gives a comprehensive account of entomopathogenic and slug parasitic nematodes as potential biocontrol agents in crop insect and slug pest management in tropical, subtropical and temerpate countries.

        Schatten über den Brettern

        by David Misch

        A theater actor in times of increasing repression. He is torn between social demands and the pursuit of self-realization. His characters and roles, which he doesn't have to play because they've become real inside of him, mean everything to him. A cultural ordinance threatens to take them away from him and the struggle against the new authority in the country calls into question his relationships and his own identity more than ever. In his first novel, David Misch conjures up an abysmally evil power that emerges from the middle of a society in which reflections and admonishing memories are fading. A concrete dystopia: warning.
