Antología de crónica latinoamericana actual
by Darío Jaramillo AgudeloEsta antología, libro de cabecera para todo aquel que quiera entender el boom del periodismo narrativo, incluye textos de cronistas consagrados como Juan Villoro, Martín Caparrós, Alberto Salcedo Ramos o Leila Guerriero, entre otros. «La crónica periodística es la prosa narrativa de más apasionante lectura y mejor escrita hoy en día en Latinoamérica.» «Un lector que busque materiales que lo entretengan, lo asombren, le hablen de mundos extraños que están enfrente de sus narices, un lector que busque textos escritos por gente que le da importancia a que ese lector no se aburra, ese lector va sobre seguro si lee la crónica latinoamericana actual». «Entre los grandes capítulos de la crónica latinoamericana se encuentra la violencia (el cronista, a menudo altavoz de la víctima, se sitúa a veces fuera de la moral convencional para poder oír las razones del asesino o de quien usa a los niños como objeto sexual). Pero la crónica cuenta también con un territorio apacible, como lo muestran las que hablan de héroes literarios (Borges, Monsiváis, Pavese...), ídolos de masas (Gardel, los Rolling Stones o un futbolista estrella), historias de vidas anónimas o insólitas (como las inmersiones en la vida de alguien con el salario mínimo, o en el mundo del intercambio de parejas)...»Darío Jaramillo Agudelo Autores incluidos en la antología:Luis Fernando Afanador (Colombia)Cristian Alarcón (Chile)Alejandro Almazán (México)Toño Angulo Daneri (Perú)Marco Avilés (Perú)Frank Báez (República Dominicana)Jaime Bedoya (Perú)Sabina Berman (México)Martín Caparrós (Argentina)José Alejandro Castaño (Colombia)Laura Castellanos (México)Hernán Casciari (Argentina)Sergio Dahbar (Argentina)Heriberto Fiorillo (Colombia)Juan Forn (Argentina)Leila Guerriero (Argentina)Leonardo Haberkorn (Uruguay)Juan José Hoyos (Colombia)Mario Jursich(Colombia)Laura Kopouchian (Argentina)Pedro Lemebel (Chile)Josefina Licitra (Argentina)Liza López (Venezuela)Carlos López Aguirre (México)Carlos Martínez (El Salvador)Óscar Martínez (El Salvador)Fabrizio Mejía Madrid (México)Juan Pablo Meneses (Chile)María Moreno (Argentina)Boris Muñoz (Venezuela)José Navia (Colombia)Roberto Navia Gabriel (Bolivia)Diego Osorno (México)Cristóbal Peña (Chile)Daniel Riera (Argentina)Juan Manuel Robles (Perú)Alberto Salcedo Ramos (Colombia)Andrés Sanín (Colombia)Álvaro Sierra (Colombia)Andrés Felipe Solano (Colombia)Daniel Titinger (Perú)Alejandro Toledo (México)Roberto Valencia (Salvador)Julio Villanueva Chang (Perú)Juan Villoro (México)Gabriela Wiener (Perú)Eugenia Zicavo (Argentina)Alejandro Zambra (Chile)Selección y prólogo de Darío Jaramillo Agudelo
Antonine Maillet: Les trésors cachés - Our Hidden Treasures (The Symons Medal Series/Collection de la Médaille Symons)
by Antonine MailletA veritable artist, Maillet becomes a “creator of sounds, of colours, of forms and words.” As she speaks, she paints a vast landscape of mountains and oceans, history and story, using the tools on her palette: blending the colours of myths and those of contemporary issues, creating an epic poem in a profoundly personal voice. This country she portrays is both young and old, speaks two languages, has a rich subconscious, and aspirations. She ends her lecture by re-telling a story originally written by Rabelais— which, incidentally, was penned the same year as the discovery of America. The grande dame of storytelling uses her art to make an appeal for solidarity, in favour of the protection of cultures and the preservation of languages. Will her country, she asks, the one made “of many faces” and paradoxes, “be able to give nations of diverse origins their rightful place?” Renowned, notably, for her iconic play La Sagouine, Antonine Maillet received the prestigious Prix Goncourt for her novel Pélagie-la-Charette, thereby becoming the first non-European laureate of the most prestigious award in France. Since then, she has published over twenty novels and many plays, and also translated several celebrated authors such as Shakespeare. She is the recipient of numerous literary awards, including the Governor General Literary Award, the Royal Society of Canada’s Lorne Pierce Medal, and the Prix Goncourt. This book is bilingual.

Appeals to Interest: Language, Contestation, and the Shaping of Political Agency
by Dean MathiowetzIt has become a commonplace assumption in modern political debate that white and rural working- and middle-class citizens in the United States who have been rallied by Republicans in the “culture wars” to vote Republican have been voting “against their interests.” But what, exactly, are these “interests” that these voters are supposed to have been voting against? It reveals a lot about the role of the notion of interest in political debate today to realize that these “interests” are taken for granted to be the narrowly self-regarding, primarily economic “interests” of the individual. Exposing and contesting this view of interests, Dean Mathiowetz finds in the language of interest an already potent critique of neoliberal political, theoretical, and methodological imperatives—and shows how such a critique has long been active in the term’s rich history. Through an innovative historical investigation of the language of interest, Mathiowetz shows that appeals to interest are always politically contestable claims about “who” somebody is—and a provocation to action on behalf of that “who.” Appeals to Interest exposes the theoretical and political costs of our widespread denial of this crucial role of interest-talk in the constitution of political identity, in political theory and social science alike.

Applications of Advanced Electromagnetics: Microwave Components and Systems (Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering #1272)
by Guennadi A. KouzaevThis book addresses microwave researchers, engineers, and Master's and Ph.D. students. It follows the idea of the first Edition to educate the readers on fundamental electromagnetics and show how this brilliant theory is used in developing modern multi-physics microwave and terahertz hardware. The first three chapters discuss the main ideas and methods of electromagnetism, explained in a manner that is clear for readers who have had some initial knowledge of electromagnetism. Chapters 4 and 5 are on transmission lines. The first text is on the integrated ones for digital applications, which have been working since DC up to several tens or hundreds of gigahertz. The next chapter is on the waveguides for terahertz frequencies. In this book, the space-modulated signals application, compared to the 1st Edition, is considered using the example of a novel predicate variable logic processor designed and verified in an FPGA environment (Chapter 6). This idea, born initially in microwaves, allowed an eight-logic-style re-configurable on-the-fly processor. Chapters 7–9 discuss microwaves in heating liquids and the initiation of rapid chemical reactions in novel miniature quasi-TEM wave reactors. Chapter 10 involves results on trapping and transporting ultra-cold matter using combined techniques. The new results described here are on numerical simulation of trapping of ultra-cold atoms in random 3D optical potentials using the Anderson effect. In conclusion, the author hopes this book will strengthen the young generation's interest in microwave field theory. He believes that advanced electromagnetism, combined with other physics branches, will play a crucial role in developing new, improved components and systems, and this book is a stepping-stone example in that journey.
Applications of Artificial Intelligence Techniques in Industry 4.0 (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology)
by Aydin AziziThis book is to presents and evaluates a way of modelling and optimizing nonlinear RFID Network Planning (RNP) problems using artificial intelligence techniques. It uses Artificial Neural Network models (ANN) to bind together the computational artificial intelligence algorithm with knowledge representation an efficient artificial intelligence paradigm to model and optimize RFID networks.This effort leads to proposing a novel artificial intelligence algorithm which has been named hybrid artificial intelligence optimization technique to perform optimization of RNP as a hard learning problem. This hybrid optimization technique consists of two different optimization phases. First phase is optimizing RNP by Redundant Antenna Elimination (RAE) algorithm and the second phase which completes RNP optimization process is Ring Probabilistic Logic Neural Networks (RPLNN). The hybrid paradigm is explored using a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) and the results are compared with well-known evolutionary optimization technique namely Genetic Algorithm (GA) to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed architecture successfully.
