Hasta la proliferación de los populismos de derechas, los regímenes que corrompían las reglas democráticas para anular a la oposición y perpetuarse en el poder tenían fundamentalmente signo marxista. Pero el nuevo antiliberalismo nacionalista y ultraconservador, bajo la bandera de la «batalla cultural», le ha arrebatado al chavismo y al socialismo el monopolio del despotismo.El conocido ensayista José Benegas, curtido en la lucha contra los populismos latinoamericanos, desarrolla en este libro la tesis de que el tradicional eje izquierda/derecha ya no permite comprender el actual momento político. Ambos bandos comparten el gusto por los caudillos que destruyen las instituciones, y …

What is more common than a pair of shoes? In a world where shoes have become an object of mass consumption, these accessories are now rid of any significance. The industry has accomplished its duty: producing a large quantity at a low price. But there was a time when the shoe symbolised the strength of the Roman legion, the power of the Medieval lords or the oppression of the Chinese woman. Its history is both vast and enthralling, as revealed by the author Marie-Josèphe Bossan. Supporting her analysis with an outstanding iconography, the author gives these commonplace objects a universal …

Men’s fashion, particularly the trends involving undergarments, was once reserved for the elite; today it has become democratised, clear proof of social progress. The aestheticism of the body so highly valued by the Greeks seems to have regained a prominent place in the masculine world. Mirroring the evolution of society’s values, the history of underwear also highlights the continuous, dancing exchange that exists between women’s styles and men’s fashion. Undergarments are concealed, flaunted, stretched or shortened, establishing a game between yesterday’s illicit and today’s chic and thereby denouncing the sense of disgrace that these simple pieces of clothing used to …

It all started with a biscuit tin. Writer and editor Steve Rudd was clearing out some boxes that had been stored in various places since a house move in 1996. And some of the boxes had been following him round the country from previous moves. The boxes contained stuff that originally came from his parents' home, dating as far back as 1980, when his maternal grandma, the redoubtable Granny Fenwick, died. So it was that in 2012, Steve found the very same brown biscuit tin that had stood on his granny’s mantelpiece when he used to visit her in the …
