• Sommario/riassunto: Friends-they are generous and cooperative with each other in ways that appear to defy standard evolutionary expectations, frequently sacrificing for one another without concern for past behaviors or future consequences. In this fascinating multidisciplinary study, Daniel J. Hruschka synthesizes an array of cross-cultural, experimental, and ethnographic data to understand the broad meaning of friendship, how it develops, how it interfaces with kinship and romantic relationships, and how it differs from place to place. Hruschka argues that friendship ; is a special form of reciprocal altruism based not on tit-for-tat accounting or forward-looking rationality, but rather on mutual goodwill that is built up along the way in human relationships.

• Sommario/riassunto: EI territorio de Quintana Roo, en el sureste de Mexico, en la frontera con Bel ice, nace en 1902. Una de las dificultades recurrentes del territorio fue la ausencia de población y las medidas adoptadas para atraer a nuevos habitantes. Y también para definir a estos habitante. En esta región periférica, la población constituye un desafío estratégico para la consolidación de la soberanía nacional; manifiesta la afirmación de un biopoder -y de sus límites- que lleva a imponer las características raciales y nacionales de la población. Mediante el estudio de la radicalización de las políticas migratorias, y también de las políticas de integración y de desarrollo de la región (expediciones científicas, acceso a las tierras, tipo de explotación territorial), se trata de introducir una alteridad distinta a la indígena en las reflexiones ; sobre la nación el mestizaje y la raza, a partir del caso del extranjero negro. Esta investigación inscribe a México en la historia de las sociedades posesclavistas caribeñas marcadas por las migraciones de trabajadores afrodescendientes, y da cuenta del surgimiento de una nueva entidad político-administrativa al margen de la nación. EI libro aporta una nueva luz sobre las lógicas de inclusión y de exclusión propias de las políticas de mestizaje en el México posrevolucionario, por medio de un doble desfase analítico: estudiar eL lugar de las poblaciones negras más que el de las indígenas; centrarse en la inmigración más que en la autoctonía.

• Sommario/riassunto: This volume focusses on the rarely discussed reverse side of traditional, ‘given’ objects of studies, namely absence rather than presence (of text) and silence rather than sound. It does so from the bifocal and interdisciplinary perspective which is a hallmark of the book series Word and Music Studies. The twelve contributors to the main subject of this volume approach it from various systematic and historical angles and cover, among others, questions such as to what extent absence can become significant in the first place or iconic (silent) functions of musical scores, as well as discussions of fields ranging from baroque opera to John Cage’s 4’33’’ . The volume is complemented by two contributions dedicated to further surveying the vast field of word and music studies. The essays collected here were originally presented at the Ninth International Conference on Word and Music Studies held at London University in August 2013 and organised by the International Association for Word and Music Studies. They are of relevance to scholars and students of literature, music and intermediality studies as well as to readers generally interested in phenomena of absence and silence.
