Pensar el cuerpo: historia, materialidad, y simbolo
Publisher Herder Editorial shares that Prof. Mabel Moraña's book constituye una incursión transdisciplinaria y multifacética en la densidad del pensamiento occidental sobre lo corporal, a través de las épocas. El libro comprende aspectos estéticos, políticos, filosóficos, sociales y científicos que contribuyen a promover la imagen del cuerpo —y de lo post-humano— como constelación de sentidos, como espectáculo y como plataforma para la implementación de estrategias de control y de goce, de preservación y de castigo, de agresión y de solidaridad comunitaria.

Líneas de fuga ciudadanía, frontera y sujeto migrante
Publisher Iberoamericana Vervuert shares that Prof. Morana's latest book on Migration is a good instance of what anthropologists used to call a “total social fact.” Politics and society, culture and economy, law and aesthetics are all traversed by the challenge of migration. Therefore, a panoply of disciplines and perspectives are at work in the study of migration, producing a huge body of knowledge but also a certain sense of fragmentation. The amazing book by Mabel Moraña is quite unique in this respect. While she builds upon a vast number of investigations from several disciplines, Moraña succeeds in providing readers with a tightly integrated framework for the analysis of one of the most challenging questions in our time.
