Autor: Carlos Tabernero Holgado Sinopsis: La medicina y el cine son parte de nuestro día a día. Acudimos a la consulta o a la sala en busca de algún tipo de alivio y de puertas a otros mundos. Y la consulta y la sala, la medicina y el cine, se miran de reojo. La medicina quiere al cine para mirar, explorar y estudiar, diagnosticar y operar; también como herramienta publicitaria y de propaganda, para construir su autoridad. Y el cine cuenta muy a menudo con la medicina porque trabaja con experiencias rutinarias de salud y enfermedad, sus miedos y sus osadías, sus servidumbres y sus rebeldías. La medicina y el cine caminan de la mano con la experiencia cotidiana de la muerte y de la vida. Y la medicina es cine porque es soñar, cuestionar y luchar, como lo es sufrir, morir y amar. Y es por esto mismo que también, en nuestro día a día, el cine es medicina. Url:  http://www.editorialuoc.com/terapias-de-cine

Simone Fari e Massimo Moraglio (eds.),  Peripheral Flows: A Historical Perspective on Mobilities between Cores and Fringes . (Newcastle upon Tyne: Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2016). ( http://www.cambridgescholars. com/peripheral-flows ) Book Description The main purpose of the eleven contributions to this volume is to reconsider and re-assess the role of cores and peripheries in shaping modern socio-technical systems. From this perspective they explore a terrain of highly complex systems mainly operating on the so-called Western model: Railways, telegraphs, motor vehicles and airports were, in fact, all born in classic cores areas in the West and then spread out into the peripheries. The approach in itself is not new, but this volume has managed to bring out interestingly innovative elements and viewpoints. The contributors are not content with the traditional definitions of peripheries and flows, but tend to put them to the test, revise them and eventuall...

El libro trata de las prácticas espiritistas que afloraron en Estados Unidos y Europa a partir de mediados del siglo XIX. Movidos por la curiosidad y el deseo de entretenerse, muchos ciudadanos se congregaban por las noches para ver bailar mesas o escuchar golpes extraños que parecían contener mensajes inteligentes. Una vez dicha práctica alcanzó los países europeos, adoptaría un significado más específico. Se estableció como filosofía racional, basada en la mediumnidad, con aspiraciones religiosas y científicas. Como movimiento social alcanzó cierta popularidad, aunque siempre mantuvo un carácter muy fragmentario. Pronto algunos científicos se vieron involucrados en la comprobación de los fenómenos paranormales exhibidos en las sesiones. Con ello se inició un espacio de confrontación y negociación entre ambos colectivos así como en el seno de los propios científicos, conforme a una dinámica de definición de competencias y  demarcaciones profesionales. El estudio se estructura e...
