        Animal Welfare in a Changing World

        by Edited by Andrew Butterworth

        Contemporary and challenging, this thought-provoking book outlines a number of the key dilemmas in animal welfare for today's, and tomorrow's, world. The issues discussed range from the welfare of hunted animals, to debates around intensive farming versus sustainability, and the effects of climate and environmental change. The book explores the effects of fences on wild animals and human impacts on carrion animals; the impacts of tourism on animal welfare; philosophical questions about speciesism; and the quality and quantity of animal lives. The welfare impacts of human-animal interactions are explored, including human impacts on marine mammals, fish, wildlife, and companion and farm animals. Animal Welfare in a Changing World provides: Concise, opinion-based views on important issues in animal welfare by world experts and key opinion leaders. Pieces based on experience, which balance evidence-based approaches and the welfare impacts of direct engagement through training, campaigning and education. A wide-ranging collection of examples and descriptions of animal welfare topics which outline dilemmas in the real world, that are sometimes challenging, and not always comfortable reading. This is a 'must-read' book for animal and veterinary scientists, ethologists, policy and opinion leaders, NGOs, conservation biologists and anyone who feels passionately about the welfare of animals

        Autorías y redes literarias en la prensa argentina (1870-1910)

        by Maria Vicens

        In this book, Escritoras de entresiglos: un mapa trasatlántico, Literature specialist María Vicens addresses a topic of increasing importance for a proper understanding of our cultural past: the material and symbolic context within which a legitimate space was articulated for the Public deed of women in Argentina in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Unlike the growing literature on this subject that has focused almost exclusively on national cases, this study proposes a new look at the transnational networks built by women writers themselves, and that linked geographic spaces of literary production as dissimilar to each other as Peru, Spain, and Argentina - this country, which became the fundamental link between the first two. In this way, next to analyzes referring not only to writers who have long been consecrated by the literary tradition, such as Juana Manuela Gorriti, Clorinda Matto de Turner, or Emilia Pardo Bazán, but also to a wide group of less well-known writers, such as Raymunda Torres y Quiroga, the reader will find a detailed reconstruction of the world of the female press in Argentina between the fall of Rosas and the Great War, accompanied by extensive references to the Peruvian and Spanish contexts from which the writers with an international vocation who interacted with their Argentine counterparts then. An original approach, rich in discoveries, to the worlds of feminine intimacy will also be discovered in these pages at their points of connection with the public sphere in which, not without facing arduous obstacles, these women sought to project themselves as writers. The cartography of this transatlantic map will be appreciated from now on, as never before, in all its complex and fine detail.

        by da Rosa, Allan

        “Pedagoginga, Autonomia e Mocambagem" harmonizes with some very important spheres: the philosophical, historical and contextualized attention on what was conventionally called black cultures; the consistent implementation of the teaching of history and culture of these matrices from African sources and heads, black feet and hands, the sweaty dream of an autonomous popular education movement on the outskirts of São Paulo at the beginning of the 21st century. pillars, challenges and also contradictions, and with this perspective, he invites the reader to reflect on the educational practice, so the author presents a new pedagogical proposal, new but twisted to ancestral aesthetics and fundamentals, which implies the autonomy of educators and students , as well as a genuine commitment to Afro-Brazilian culture. Here is a book of reflections, doubts, slides and nin hos on a practice of years in Popular Education whose motto is the experience of organizing and implementing independent courses in our peripheries in São Paulo, focused on the black experience of yesterday, the future, today and that of so many lines, spirals and balls of the time that we weave. The book is part of the Insurgências Collection, which was born with the aim of sharing and revolving reflections and practices committed to different ways of thinking about the world, relationships, ways of learning and teaching.

        Esferas de la insurrección

        Apuntes para descolonizar el inconsciente

        by Suely Rolnik

        Este libro es como un bellísimo gusano que crece en un estercolero: la ondulación y la suavidad aterciopelada de su pensamiento, la risa contagiosa, la falta de vergüenza y de miedo le permite entrar en las capas más oscuras del fascismo contemporáneo, guiarnos en los lugares que más nos aterran, y sacar de allí algo con lo que construir un horizonte de vida colectiva. Suely Rolnik es una artista cuya materia es la pulsión. Una cultivadora de gusanos de seda de la izquierda bajo la piel. No se puede pedir más de una escritora: devenir-gusano, cartografiar el fango con la misma precisión con la que otro cartografiaría una mina de oro. Por ello, lector, entra con este gusano en el magma de la bestia y busca los gérmenes de vida que, aunque desconoces, te rodean, y que, con una torsión de la mirada, podrían ser tuyos –podrían ser tu propia vida–. (Del prólogo de Paul B. Preciado).

      • La lengua del desierto

        Notas

        by Vanesa Guerra

        La lengua del desierto- notas, afianza la potencia de la lengua poética como modo de restitución del lazo social.  Trabaja y presenta la potencia de la experiencia del lenguaje como otra forma posible de habitar un mundo que hoy tiende a la devastación subjetiva en su aceleración temporal.   Invita a un ejercicio de transposición de sí hacia lxs otrxs, y su inversa:  La propuesta es abandonar, como una piel ya seca, la condición individual que impone la lógica capitalista, patriarcal y occidental. El texto -memoria, palimpsesto y archivo- se presenta como intento de pensar lo no-mismo, de dejarse habitar por lxs otrxs e, incluso, de invocarlxs. (Arnes Laura, 2020) Este ensayo de corte poético visita la escritura experiencial y límbica de Robert Walser y desplaza la fuerza de la lengua absuelta y desatada a las poéticas de autoras y artistas contemporáneas argentinas en quienes la escritura o la obra es una experiencia de lenguaje que destituye identidades monolíticas para habilitar una lengua que toca, renueva e ilumina las corporalidades libertas y descatalogadas; de esta manera atiende a los nuevos feminismos y a las posibles políticas de la lengua para restituir la ética entre unxs y otrxs. “Invoquemos a la lengua poética para que nos restituya la voz que hemos perdido, porque antes que la lengua del Amo nos apresara con sus dominios, supimos ser mágicxs, levitantes y límbicos. Restituirnos a la poesía como recién venidos podría ser el designio” La Lengua del desierto – notas; es el último y reciente trabajo de Vanesa Guerra, escritora y psicoanalista contemporánea argentina.  Colección: Agalma Dirección: Alejandro Schmidt Editora responsable: Daniela Mac Auliffe Buena Vista Editora, Córdoba, Argentina 2020 Imagen de tapa: Von Bingen, Hildegard (1098-1179). Representación del huevo cósmico, Scivias (1152). Cierta lectura feminista contemporánea atribuye a esta imagen la representación del orgasmo femenino.
