Quimera

Colección Poesías Del Presidio

By: Luis L. Arroyo,Luis Leonardo Arroyo

Quimera es el segundo de los diez tomos de la Coleccin Poesas del Presidio compuesta por el Preso Poltico Plantado, Luis L. Arroyo durante sus 27 aos de Prisin Poltica en Cuba, narrando cotidianidades e incidencias de su estancia en prisin. Quimera no es un poemario de testimonios sobre el Presidio Poltico Cubano y, sin embargo, es un libro de testimonios. Quimera no es un libro temtico y, sin embargo, es un poemario temtico. Quimera no es un libro de testimonios sobre los crmenes cometidos por el Comunismo, Fidel y Ral Castro contra el Presidio Poltico Cubano, porque la Letra de sus poemas no establece denuncia alguna de los horrores vividos,... ni describe ningn acto de barbarie. Sin embargo, el Espritu de la Letra de cada poema, s encarna un fuerte testimonio que demuestra que los presos polticos cubanos jams perdieron su condicin de seres humanos con todos sus valores ticos de familia, de fraternidad, de solidaridad, de humanismo, de libertad,... a pesar de los horrores dantescos a que eran sometidos (y continan sometiendo a los presos actuales) por parte del Comunismo, de Fidel y de Ral Castro dentro del trance de la implantacin del marxismo-leninismo en Cuba y la conversin de sta en Colonia de Rusia, lo que conllevaba la imposicin, en las crceles cubanas, del salvaje y barbrico y pulverizante Sistema Penitenciario Ruso que se basaba en la aniquilacin del Preso medinate un rgimen pseudocientfico de ciclos de experimentos biolgicos, qumicos, dietticos, psicolgicos,... que provocaban enfermedades y hasta la muerte, inasistencia mdica,... amn de torturas fsicas, incomunicacin, aislamiento en hermtica soledumbre, trabajos forzados, golpizas, bayonetenamientos, baleamientos y hasta el asesinato directo,... todo esto diriguido a quebrarle al preso su espritu de resistencia fsica, ideolgica y moral y desajustarlo psquicamente, embrutecerlo, enajenarlo, despersonalizalo -y tratar de adoctrinarlo de ser posible- para, convertido en una Cosa y Cosificado, anularlo para siempre. Sin embargo, Quimera no da testimonios de ese socipata rgimen penitenciario; pero cada uno de sus poemas s da testimonio de que el preso, en pleno infierno, se expresaba con un Lenguaje libre de los efectos demoledores de la Prisin Comunista, los que no lograban daarle la Conciencia, por lo que su Poesa poda brotar sin la influencia deprimente de las torturas, sin plaidos, amarguras, resentimientos, odio, revanchismo... Quimera es un Canto a la Vida, al Amor a la Familia, a la Fe en Dios, a la Filosofa, a la Idiosincrasia y Cultura del Cubano, a las Remembranzas, a las Quimeras del Hombre en su Privacin... Y Quimera es temtica, porque mantiene la lnea expresada de principio a fin. Leda Quimera, el Lector podra decir que Quimera es, de por s, un inequvoco Testimonio de que, en todo tiempo y lugar, el Ser Humano posee la capacidad y fortleza sobradas para no sucumbir y mantener inclume sus sentimientos a pesar de las circunstancias.

Probabilistic Graphical Models

Principles and Applications

By: Luis Enrique Sucar

This fully updated new edition of a uniquely accessible textbook/reference provides a general introduction to probabilistic graphical models (PGMs) from an engineering perspective. It features new material on partially observable Markov decision processes, causal graphical models, causal discovery and deep learning, as well as an even greater number of exercises; it also incorporates a software library for several graphical models in Python. The book covers the fundamentals for each of the main classes of PGMs, including representation, inference and learning principles, and reviews real-world applications for each type of model. These applications are drawn from a broad range of disciplines, highlighting the many uses of Bayesian classifiers, hidden Markov models, Bayesian networks, dynamic and temporal Bayesian networks, Markov random fields, influence diagrams, and Markov decision processes. Topics and features: Presents a unified framework encompassing all of the main classes of PGMs Explores the fundamental aspects of representation, inference and learning for each technique Examines new material on partially observable Markov decision processes, and graphical models Includes a new chapter introducing deep neural networks and their relation with probabilistic graphical models Covers multidimensional Bayesian classifiers, relational graphical models, and causal models Provides substantial chapter-ending exercises, suggestions for further reading, and ideas for research or programming projects Describes classifiers such as Gaussian Naive Bayes, Circular Chain Classifiers, and Hierarchical Classifiers with Bayesian Networks Outlines the practical application of the different techniques Suggests possible course outlines for instructors This classroom-tested work is suitable as a textbook for an advanced undergraduate or a graduate course in probabilistic graphical models for students of computer science, engineering, and physics. Professionals wishing to apply probabilistic graphical models in their own field, or interested in the basis of these techniques, will also find the book to be an invaluable reference. Dr. Luis Enrique Sucar is a Senior Research Scientist at the National Institute for Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics (INAOE), Puebla, Mexico. He received the National Science Prize en 2016.

La Llorona's Children

Religion, Life, and Death in the U.S.–Mexican Borderlands

By: Luis D. León

Luis D. León's compelling, innovative exploration of religion in the U.S.-Mexican borderlands issues a fundamental challenge to current scholarship in the field and recharts the landscape of Chicano faith. La Llorona's Children constructs genealogies of the major traditions spanning Mexico City, East Los Angeles, and the southwestern United States: Guadalupe devotion, curanderismo, espiritualismo, and evangelical/ Pentecostal traditions. León theorizes a religious poetics that functions as an effective and subversive survival tactic akin to crossing the U.S.-Mexican border. He claims that, when examined in terms of broad categorical religious forms and intentions, these traditions are remarkably alike and resonate religious ideas and practices developed in the ancient Mesoamerican world. León proposes what he calls a borderlands reading of La Virgen de Guadalupe as a transgressive, border-crossing goddess in her own right, a mestiza deity who displaces Jesus and God for believers on both sides of the border. His energetic discussion of curanderismo shows how this indigenous religious practice links cognition and sensation in a fresh and powerful technology of the body—one where sensual, erotic, and sexualized ways of knowing emphasize personal and communal healing. La Llorona’s Children ends with a fascinating study of the rich and complex world of Chicano/a Pentecostalism in Los Angeles, a tradition that León maintains allows Chicano men to reimagine their bodies into a unified social body through ritual performance. Throughout the narrative, the connections among sacred spaces, saints, healers, writers, ideas, and movements are woven with skill, inspiration, and insight. Luis D. León's compelling, innovative exploration of religion in the U.S.-Mexican borderlands issues a fundamental challenge to current scholarship in the field and recharts the landscape of Chicano faith.

The Archaeology of the Pampas and Patagonia

By: Gustavo G. Politis,Luis A. Borrero

In this book, Gustavo G. Politis and Luis A. Borrero explore the archaeology and ethnography of the indigenous people who inhabited Argentina's Pampas and the Patagonia region from the end of the Pleistocene until the 20th century. Offering a history of the nomadic foragers living in the harsh habitats of the South America's Southern Cone, they provide detailed account of human adaptations to a range of environmental and social conditions. The authors show how the region's earliest inhabitants interacted with now-extinct animals as they explored and settled the vast open prairies and steppes of the region until they occupied most of its available habitats. They also trace technological advances, including the development of pottery, the use of bows and arrows, and horticulture. Making new research and data available for the first time, Politis and Borrero's volume demonstrates how geographical variation in the Southern Cone generated diverse adaptation strategies.

The Conspiracy of the Ninth Duke of Medina Sidonia (1641)

An Aristocrat in the Crisis of the Spanish Empire

By: Luis Salas Almela

In The Conspiracy of the Ninth Duke of Medina Sidonia, Luis Salas offers a penetrating analysis of a plot to incite rebellion in the region of Andalusia in 1641. Had it succeeded, the plan could have caused the collapse of the Spanish Monarchy. Salas leaves no doubt that the conspiracy indeed occurred; he analyzes the plan in depth, its architects, its supporters — both in Andalusia and abroad — how it unraveled, and how the government of Philip IV of Spain managed to survive the most dramatic months of his tumultuous reign. Salas also delves into the consequences of the subsequent punishments, which affected Portugal, the balance of power in Andalusia, and Spain’s entire colonial trade.
