The Best Horror of the Year, Volume Seventeen
From Ellen Datlow—“the venerable queen of horror anthologies” per the New York Times—comes a new entry in the series that has brought you thrilling stories from Stephen King and Mira Grant, the best horror stories available. For more than four decades, Ellen Datlow has been at the center of horror. Bringing you the most frightening and terrifying stories, Datlow always has her finger on the pulse of what horror readers crave. Now, with the seventeenth volume of the series, Datlow is back again to bring you the stories that will keep you up at night. Encompassed in the pages of The Best Horror of the Year have been such illustrious writers as: Stephen King, Stephen Graham Jones, Paul Tremblay, Tananarive Due, Carmen Maria Machado, Joe Hill, Laird Barron, Mira Grant, and many others. With each passing year, science, technology, and the march of time shine light into the craggy corners of the universe, making the fears of an earlier generation seem quaint. But this light creates its own shadows. The Best Horror of the Year chronicles these shifting shadows. It is a catalog of terror, fear, and unpleasantness as articulated by today’s most challenging and exciting writers.
Small Spaces
Small Spaces recasts the history of the British empire by focusing on the small spaces that made the empire possible. It takes as its subject a series of small architectural spaces, objects, and landscapes and uses them to narrate the untold stories of the marginalized people-the servants, women, children, subalterns, and racialized minorities-who held up the infrastructure of empire. In so doing it opens up an important new approach to architectural history: an invitation to shift our attention from the large to the small scale. Taking the British empire in India as its primary focus, this book presents eighteen short, readable chapters to explore an array of overlooked places and spaces. F...
La traducción como herramienta de empoderamiento: Hacia una gramaticalización de lo no binario en lengua española
El contexto sociohistórico contemporáneo, gracias a los feminismos de tercera y cuarta ola y al progreso de las teorías ‘queer’, ha favorecido la puesta en duda del binarismo sexo-género. Esto, junto a la revolución comunicativa de las dinámicas de web 2.0, ha provocado que proliferen identidades al margen de lo masculino y lo femenino, englobadas bajo el concepto de lo no binario. De la mano de estas identidades ha llegado su representación dentro y fuera del ámbito de la ficción, así como el debate en torno a su expresión gramatical. En ese sentido, mientras que en lengua inglesa existen entidades académicas como el diccionario ‘Merriam-Webster’ o el ‘Cambridge Dictio...

In the Shadow of Progress
We live in an age of unprecedented human mastery -- over birth and death, body and mind, nature and human nature. In every realm of life, science and technology have brought remarkable advances and improvements: we are healthier, wealthier, and more comfortable than ever before. But our gratitude for the benefits of progress increasingly mixes with concern about the meaning and consequences of our newfound powers. If we can dream about a new age of genetic medicine, we can also shudder at a new age of weapons of mass destruction. As we welcome longer lives, we wonder if we will still value human life as we should. In the Shadow of Progress: Being Human in the Age of Technology is a deep and ...
