rance was the first place to host the Spanish exiles during the Spanish Civil War, especially in the Mid-Pyrenean city of Toulouse. There, in June , one of the most unique and relevant publications of the Spanish in exile, L’Espagne Républicain, was released. This political and literary journal faithfully recorded events and became the interpreter of the dreams and hopes of the thousands of exiles longing for the restoration of a democratic regime in Spain. The unique nature of the newspaper lay in its non-partisan disposition, as it never served as the mouthpiece of any of the political parties or mass organizations of the Republican world in exile.

Los orígenes del poder en Mesoamérica
[The Origins of Power in Mesoamerica] Enrique Florescano
L
os orígenes del poder en Mesoamérica centers on the political, social, and economic history and the cultural development of the people who inhabited the territory of present day Mexico before the arrival of the Spanish. This book deals with the formation of the state since its first appearance in the Pre-Classical period until its abrupt fall in . The author explores the origin of power in the realms of the Mayan, Teotihuacan and Mexica peoples, and in the formation of the kingdom of Tula and the saga of Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl. Richly illustrated, the book includes photographs and drawings by Justin Kerr, Felipe Dávalos, Jorge Pérez de Lara and Michel Zabé. Enrique Florescano is a Mexican historian and the author of numerous books and articles on a wide range of Pre-Columbian topics. He studied Law and History at the University of Veracruz. He earned his masters degree in World History at El Colegio de México and a PhD in History at the École Pratique des Hautes Études at the University of Paris.
• ‘Florescano’s journey through the centuries before the arrival of the Spanish is an effort to decipher the symbolic content of the political world of the Pre-Columbian peoples. The symbols of power in Mesoamerica were not mere ornamentation for palaces but were frames of thought and, therefore, the contour of collective action’ —Jesús Silva-Herzog

A
n intellectual biography of Fray Pedro Lorenzo de la Nada, a sixteenth-century Dominican friar and the greatest defender of the Indians of Chiapas and Tabasco of the colonial era. Based on extensive research in the archives of Chiapas, Guatemala and the United States, de Vos delivers a moving portrait of the real man, beyond the literary figure and the object of religious devotion. The friar’s historical persona is, nevertheless, worthy of literary attention. This work recovers Fray Pedro Lorenzo from the anonymity of four centuries and earns him a place among the most fascinating of historical and religious figures.

ossessed of an amazing capacity for synthesis, the poetry of Dolores Castro is apparent in her careful observation of nature. As in the monumental, so also in minimal possibilities, in reflective surfaces that allow for the arduous task of self-reflection. In the sea, the wind, the sky, the trees with their trunks, branches and fruits, the poet discovers and shapes her own interior landscape, where being alive is, at once, a cause for great joy and melancholy.

Cómo hacer filosofía con palabras A propósito del desencuentro entre Searle y Derrida
[How to do Philosophy with Words On the Disagreement between Searle and Derrida] Jesús Navarro Reyes
S
uffice it to say that there are different ways of ‘doing philosophy’ prevalent on either side of the English Channel. Becoming aware of the difference is crucial to any understanding of contemporary philosophy. More disconcerting is that, in this divergence, there aren’t normally explicit confrontations. Most philosophers, whether analytical or continental, get to neglect the contributions of the other side. Fortunately there are exceptions. This book presents one of them: the failed debate between John Searle and Jacques Derrida in the late s over the theory of the act of speech of John L. Austin.
Jesús Navarro Reyes () is professor of Philosophy at the University of Seville. He has been visiting researcher at several universities, including the Sorbonne, Berkeley and Oxford. Navarro Reyes works for numerous international journals and is author of the book Pensar sin certezas: Montaigne y el arte de conversar published by Fondo de Cultura Económica in .

Beginning with an analysis of cones—the starting point of almost any course in analytical geometry—Bracho delineates an alternative order, showing that the normal route is followed for merely historical reasons. He replaces the traditional method with a more intuitive order, where problems and solutions serve as a background to increasingly complex issues. Javier Bracho is a professor and researcher at the Institute of Mathematics at unam. Fondo de Cultura Económica previously published Bracho’s ¿En qué espacio vivimos? (). Bracho also participated in the design and production of the mathematics room at the Universum Museum of Sciences in , for which an international patent still bears his name.

T
his book is the result of a reflection on science as a human and social action, and not only as a tool for gaining knowledge. Science is the product of human endeavor and, as such, a wide avenue is opened for the study of its development. The moral and political dimensions of science and the involvement of both in all of the activities of society, create together their own language and thus affect aspects of science related to its didactics, and aesthetics. This book presents the historical and philosophical foundations of an expanded concept of the philosophy of science. Readers are invited to address the scientific culture from a perspective closer to their own interests and concerns, that is, closer to their own pursuit of happiness. Alfredo Marcos earned a PhD in Philosophy from and is director of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Valladolid, Spain, where he currently coordinates the Master Studies Program in Logic and Philosophy of Science.

Patrimonio cultural Integración y desarrollo en América Latina
[Cultural Heritage Integration and Development in Latin America] Gonzalo Castellanos V.
A
bout million people in Latin America entered the twenty-first century in poverty. This situation, which could be called a disaster, is not far removed from all of the varied tales of Latin-American independence. The principles of equality and privilege were represented in assumed ownership by a small group of aristocrats who concentrated land in their own hands and dominated the fields of economics and politics. This book demonstrates that this pattern of dependency and exclusion could actually increase. But it also envisions an alternative Latin America: moving toward a common cultural space that exceeds discordant interests to build the cooperation necessary to fight the causes of poverty and against the region’s tributary position in relation to the global centers of power.
