Lo simple y lo profundo: la comida en Pablo Neruda
No full textEn este ensayo, David A. Petreman explora la relación entre la comida y la poesía en la obra de Pablo Neruda, destacando cómo el poeta chileno utiliza elementos culinarios para expresar conceptos profundos sobre la vida, la memoria y la identidad. A través de un análisis de las "Odas elementales", Petreman argumenta que Neruda transforma lo cotidiano en algo sagrado, elevando la comida a un símbolo de conexión y comunidad. El autor también menciona la experiencia del hambre en la vida de Neruda, lo que le permite abordar la temática alimentaria con una perspectiva única y reflexiva. Este ensayo invita a los lectores a apreciar la belleza y la simplicidad de los alimentos como una forma de arte poéticoUniversidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Instituto de Investigaciones Histórica
New Roads for Patron-Driven E-books:Collection Development and Technical Services Implications of a Patron-Driven Acquisitions Pilot at Rutgers
No full textCollection development librarians have long struggled to meet user demands for new titles. Too often, required resources are not purchased, while some purchased resources do not circulate. E-books selected through patron-driven plans are a solution but present new challenges for both selectors and catalogers. Radical changes to traditional technical services workflows are required, and selectors must modify the selection process to give more choice to the user. Rutgers University librarians have adopted an innovative new technical services workflow and collection-development model to manage a successful, patron-driven acquisitions project for e-books in the fields of math and computer science.This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis Group in Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship on 13/12/2011, available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/1941126X.2011.627043

Lo spazio di un continente, Incontri con i protagonisti dell’architettura africana contemporanea David Adjaye
No full textIncontro con un protagonista dell’architettura contemporanea africana per raccontare come il continente si stia facendo sempre di più portavoce di una progettualità etica, innovativa, radicata nell’ambito dello spazio pubblico, la vita collettiva e il benessere comune.
L'appuntamento è con l’architetto ghanese David Adjaye per approfondire come l’architettura fornisca l’opportunità per la trasformazione materiale, concettuale e sociologica della città.
Guidati dal desiderio di arricchire e migliorare la vita di tutti i giorni, gli edifici dello studio Adjaye Associates sono progettati per incontrare i diversi bisogni delle comunità. Le architetture appartengono ai loro contesti: sono dichiarazioni audaci di un mondo contemporaneo complesso e di un territorio instabile. Inoltre le opere architettoniche dello studio sperimentano continuamente materiali riciclati e poco costosi e cercano di raggiungere l’ambiente ottimale adattandolo al clima locale
