Política y saber en los años cuarenta. El caso del químico español A. García Banús en la Universidad Nacional

Los ensayos reunidos en Cuestiones disputadas giran en torno a un problema central: el cambiante estatuto de las ciencias sociales y del análisis histórico. El problema se estudia desde ángulos diferentes, pero complementarios: la defensa del pluralismo teórico y, por lo tanto, la desconfianza de la “Gran Teoría”; la insistencia en que no resulta aconsejable separar las dimensiones empíricas y teóricas de los problemas que analizan las ciencias de la sociedad; y el clamor permanente porque las ciencias sociales —incluida la Historia— dialoguen de manera permanente, y que lo...

It examines the genre of the drama and its relationship to the phenomenon of the Cuban Revolution, Arrufat as a Cuban playwright of the 60s and his re-writing of the Greek theme of the fratricidal fight in Aeschylus' Seven Against Thebes. Also contains a recent interview with Arrufat in which he describes the social circumstances surrounding the play and some of his classical re-writing techniques.

American Indian educator and political philosopher Jack Forbes's Columbus and Other Cannibals was one of the founding texts of the anti-civilization movement when it was first published in 1978. His history of terrorism, genocide, and ecocide told from a Native American point of view has continued to inspire America's most influential activists for decades.
