CULINARY LESSONS - The Space of Food is based on a series of events, Culinary Lessons, which were hosted by the Städelschule Architecture Class and which engaged with the relation between food, art and architecture. The series addressed the enormous so- cial, economic and cultural spaces that accompany the production and consumption of food, and attempted to unravel some of these spaces' structure and dynamics. The central ambition was to learn from culinary history and, not the least, the...

¿Aplaudir o cuestionar a los poderosos? El corazón de las ciencias sociales late al ritmo de ese enigma todavía irresuelto. Las corrientes que se dedican a legitimar las injusticias "normales", aceptan solo una agenda de problemas, un repertorio limitado de categorías y una lista estricta de fuentes confiables. Con arrogancia, pretenden monopolizar el "pensamiento contemporáneo". Quienes no acepten trabajar para las grandes fundaciones y ONGs que inundan con dineros sucios nuestro campo cu...

La lengua es un extenso y diverso territorio por donde atraviesa la cultura toda y en el que se manifiesta casi cualquier faceta de la vida cotidiana. La lengua es patrimonio intangible de los seres humanos y de ella los hablantes somos los únicos dueños y cuidadores y, por eso, con ella, y gracias a ella, los hablantes podemos jugar, crear, recrear e inventar palabras, jugar a escribirlas de muchos modos, mencionarlas o situarlas en nuevas y distintas dimensiones, para encontrarnos con el...

This book develops tools to handle C*-algebras arising as completions of convolution algebras of sections of line bundles over possibly non-Hausdorff groupoids. A fundamental result of Gelfand describes commutative C*-algebras as continuous functions on locally compact Hausdorff spaces.Kumjian, and later Renault, showed that Gelfand's result can be extended to include non-commutative C*-algebras containing a commutative C*-algebra. In their setting, the C*-algebras in question may ...

The discipline of medievalism has produced a great deal of scholarship acknowledging the "makers" of the Middle Ages: those who re-discovered the period from 500 to 1500 by engaging with its cultural works, seeking inspiration from them, or fantasizing about them. Yet such approaches - organized by time period, geography, or theme - often lack an overarching critical framework. This volume aims to provide such a framework, by calling into question the problematic yet commonly accepted voca...
