Celebrities and popular icons are increasingly ubiquitous figures of a 21st century postmodern world. Some, in death, blur age-old distinctions of sanctification and trespass on sacred ground long held exclusively by religious saints. An emerging continuum is transforming that sacred arena and raising a number of important issues, including the nature of the relationships between the worshipped and the worshipful and the types of institutions that sustain them. The Making of Saints: Contesting Sacred Ground investigates a number of religious leaders, healers, folk saints

A soul's journey through the night, a missing woman: time and narrative bend and interlock across a play of poetic forms and voices to make one story of love and loss. In And She Was Corbett combines the fictional spell-making of Haruki Murakami, with the filmic neo-noir of Atom Egoyan (Exotica) and David Lynch (Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive), to push the boundaries of poetic genre, asking us to renegotiate the way we encounter and reconfigure ourselves through trauma, in desire, or as we seek to reassemble ourselves and our past.November, 3am, and two young lovers are about to meet on the Heathrow Express.A side street in an unknown city: Felix Morning wakes with no memory. In his pocket is a membership card for a nightclub, The Bunker. With the help of the beautiful Flick, he must recover what he has lost.Deep into a dangerous love affair, Esther and Iain believe the other can replace what they each have lost - a heart, a gift - but is Esther's price too high for Iain to pay, and can their love survive?Who is Esther, where has she come from, and what has she got to do with the woman in the labyrinth? Does Flick belong to the past or to the future? What is memory, and what remains of us without it?And She Was demands our attention, its startling and dazzling writing asking us to be carried away as we read, but returning us by its end to a place both resolved and transformed.

A lo largo de la Guerra de los Diez Años (1868-1878) en Cuba, no solo emergieron proyectos y prescripciones abolicionistas desde ambos lados del conflicto colonial, también se legisló sobre la condición del esclavo como la de un bien a embargar. El libro de la historiadora María Elena Meneses Muro constituye el primer estudio sistemático de la administración de los esclavos retenidos por la capitanía general de la isla como parte de la política de expropiaciones a los individuos acusados de infidencia. ¿Cómo se asumió la posesión de los esclavos por las estructuras administrativas durante el conflicto bélico?, ¿cuáles fueron las lógicas procedimentales en la distribución y modos de empleos?, ¿qué intereses se movieron en los entresijos de la gestión de esclavos?, son algunas de las interrogantes desbrozadas por la autora. El procesamiento riguroso de fuentes documentales, en particular extraídas del fondo Bienes Embargados del Archivo Nacional de Cuba, posibilita develar aristas de estudio y definir problemáticas relativas a tópicos medulares del proceso como el status jurídico del esclavo expropiado y su condición real, el movimiento geográfico y los espacios laborales asignados, la sofisticación de controles administrativos, e incluso, a modo de exhortación sugerente, se identifican posibles márgenes de acción o estrategias de esclavos expropiados y familiares para interpretar y usar a su favor los recursos legales. -- Summary from book.
