El cine, como arte colectivo, explora lo oculto y lo deseado. Mediante tres ejes -genero, espacio y mirada-, este libro analiza siete filmes españoles creados durante la etapa de la democracia en los que el monstruo se esconde en lo regular, lo espeluznantemente anodino. Desde Noel Carroll a Laura Mulvey, se estudian genero, espacio y mirada, guiando al lector y espectador en un viaje de deshumanizacion y autoidentificacion, con peliculas como [REC], Tras el cristal o Tesis, que lo conducen a la conclusion mas temida: que, despues de todo, quiza todos somos monstruos.

Woodstock es el festival más mítico de la historia del rock, ¿por qué? Parece claro que los astros se alinearon: una guerra ininteligible a la otra punta del mundo, una juventud hastiada de las mentiras que la generacion anterior dio por buenas y un futuro incierto llevaron a la creacion del festival acuariano de Woodstock (Ulster, Nueva York), donde no les dejaron celebrar el festival, y donde la contracultura hippy del momento engullo e hizo suyas las premisas de aquella juventud que no deseaba ser lo mismo que sus padres, ni para ellos ni para sus hijos. Medio millon de personas acudieron y destruyeron la idea de que tanta gente junta provocaria incidentes. Fueron tres dias de paz y armonia, de una comunion por el respeto a la vida y a la creatividad. Como autor auno tres de mis pasiones: la musica, la psicologia social y la sociologia para intentar explicar el resplandor y la mitologia de este festival que nos regalo algunos momentos magicos y algo que parece que nunca regresara: la calidad cultural como bandera de la lucha contra la injusticia Lo demas fue lluvia, barro, hierba, acido y excitacion por las palabras y los sonidos alli expresados.

A todos nos gustan las historias. Pero, ¿por qué las contamos? ¿Y porqué todas las historias funcionan de un modoinquietantemente similar?John Yorke, creador de la BBC Writers Academy, nos propone aquiuna apasionante travesia historica, filosofica, cientifica ypsicologica por el arte de la narracion hasta descubrir que existeuna estructura comun de las formas narrativas que recuerdaal viaje de los cuentos de hadas a los bosques, y que aquel, comotodo gran arte, surge de lo mas profundo.El autor explora y despliega en este libro la extraordinaria bellezade esa estructura, aborda su desarrollo historico y trata de comprendercomo y por que se manifiesta en todos los aspectos de la ficcion,desde el personaje hasta el dialogo, pero tambien mas alla.Con ejemplos que van de El Padrino a Breaking Bad, de Mad Men aMacbeth, y de los relatos mitologicos a The Wire, John Yorkeutiliza el modelo shakesperiano en cinco actos como clave paraanalizar la narracion en todas sus formas, desde el cine yla television hasta el teatro y la novela.

La arquitectura ocupa un lugar destacado en las creaciones humanas. Situada entre la satisfacción de necesidades prácticas y la expresión artística, ejerce un considerable impacto sobre el medio físico y ambiental en el que vivimos, y suscita interesantes debates. "Una introduccion a la arquitectura" reflexiona sobre cuestiones sustanciales como la materia y la forma, la escala y la proporcion, o la luz y el espacio. Pero tambien se da cabida a nuevos temas que han surgido en las ultimas decadas y que colocan la arquitectura en medio de varias encrucijadas. Las nuevas tecnologias proporcionan materiales y posibilidades ineditos, pero a la vez se recuperan tecnicas y saberes tradicionales. La arquitectura bioclimatica trata de minimizar el impacto ambiental dentro de un universo cada vez mas urbano en el que se imponen inmensas metropolis, conurbaciones y megalopolis. El aprovechamiento de recursos obliga a la reutilizacion y reciclaje de los edificios y los espacios urbanos, densos y heterogeneos, se renaturalizan. Estos son algunos de los temas que aborda este libro que traza una mirada critica de la arquitectura que nos impulse a comprender las intenciones que hay detras de cada forma construida.
