Los fondos marinos siguen siendo grandes desconocidos. Frente a los paisajes terrestres, más accesibles y familiares, la mayor parte de ellos permanecen inexplorados, siendo un enorme desafío para la investigación científica. Este libro da a conocer los paisajes submarinos de distintas zonas del Mediterráneo peninsular: unos fondos singulares y poco explorados, formados por crinoideos (animales exclusivamente marinos) y maërl (agregaciones de algas marinas calcáreas), que se hallan entre los 20 y 200 metros de profundidad. De un gran interés ecológico por su rica biodiversidad de fauna y flora, son también fondos muy vulnerables, al estar sometidos a una intensa actividad pesquera y a distintas perturbaciones medioambientales, de ahí la necesidad y urgencia de su protección, y de lograr un equilibrio entre conservación y explotación. Imperativos que adquieren una mayor relevancia al tratarse de hábitats que son una abundante fuente de bienes y servicios, desde la provisión de alimento hasta la mitigación de los efectos del cambio climático, contribuyendo a la salud y bienestar planetarios y humanos. Escrita por un equipo de investigación multidisciplinar en ciencias del mar y gracias a las insólitas filmaciones captadas por el vehículo submarino ROV LIROPUS 2000, como parte de la Campaña Oceanográfica CriMa (ICM/CSIC), esta obra desvela las características y peculiaridades de estos ecosistemas marinos.

The Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines) represent the first ever international instrument dedicated to small-scale fisheries. They represent a global consensus on principles and guidance for small-scale fisheries governance and development. They were developed for small-scale fisheries in close collaboration with representatives of small-scale fisheries organizations in a participatory process between 2011-13, involving over 4000 stakeholders; facilitated by FAO, based on a mandate by COFI. They are directed at all those involved in the sector and intend to guide and encourage governments, fishing communities and other stakeholders to work together and ensure secure and sustainable small-scale fisheries for the benefit of small-scale fishers, fish workers and their communities as well as for society at large.

Four decades ago, the Cuban revolution captured the world’s attention and imagination. Its impact around the world was as much cultural as geopolitical. Within Cuba, the state developed a strictly defined national and collective memory that led directly from a colonial past to a utopian future, but this narrative came to a halt in the early 1990s. The collapse of Cuba’s sponsor, the Soviet Union, and the end of the Cold War preceded the so- called “Special Period in Times of Peace,” a euphemistic phrase that masked the genuine anxiety shared by leaders and people about the nation’s future. In Cuban Palimpsests, José Quiroga explores the sites, both physical and imaginative, where memory bears upon Cuba’s collective history in ways that illuminate this extended moment of uncertainty. Crossing geographical, political, and cultural borders, Quiroga moves with ease between Cuba, Miami, and New York. He traces generational shifts within the exile community, contrasts Havana’s cultural richness with its economic impoverishment, follows the cloak-and-dagger narratives of revolutionary and counterrevolutionary spy fiction and film, and documents the world’s ongoing fascination with Cuban culture. From the nostalgic photographs of Walker Evans to the iconic stature of Fidel Castro, from the literary expressions of despair to the beat of Cuban musical rhythms, from the haunting legacy of artist Ana Mendieta to the death of Celia Cruz and the reburial of Che Guevara, Cuban Palimpsests memorializes the ruins of Cuba’s past and offers a powerful meditation on its enigmatic place within the new world order. José Quiroga is professor and department chair of Spanish and Portuguese at Emory University. He is the author of Understanding Octavio Paz and Tropics of Desire: Interventions from Queer Latino America.

This book examines Cuban society through a study of its detective fiction and more particularly contemporary Cuban society through the novels of the author and critic, Leonardo Padura Fuentes. The author traces the development of Cuban detective writing in the light of the work of twentieth century Western European literary critics and philosophers including Raymond Williams, Antonio Gramsci, Terry Eagleton, Roland Barthes, Jean Paul Sartre, Michel Foucault, Jean François Lyotard and Jean Baudrillard in order to gain a better understanding of the social and historical context in which this genre emerged. The analysis includes discussion of the broader philosophical, political and historical issues raised by the Cuban revolution. The book concludes that the study of this popular genre in Cuba is of crucial importance to the scholar who wishes to reach as full an understanding of the social dynamics within that society as possible.

The Cuban Revolution not only changed the political regime of the island nation, it also transformed Cuban cultural identity. Che Guevara coined the idea of the "New Man" to represent the unique revolutionary identity that all Cubans were called to take on. In the speeches of the era, the "New Man" adopted different guises according to the political campaign of the day: the literacy worker, the committed intellectual, the hardworking "New Woman," or the heroic sugarcane cutter, among others. Tracing the rise and fall of the "New Man," Ana Serra examines political speeches and award-winning novels that constructed this new Identity during the formative years of the Castro regime. Serra argues that during the early revolutionary period, writers helped create the identity of the "New Man" while simultaneously criticizing its problematic aspects. Although the writers professed unconditional support for the revolution, their texts contained prophetic insights into the conflicts that the new identity would generate.
