Durante las últimas décadas, la historiografía ha mostrado cómo el crédito, en sus diferentes formas, impregnaba el conjunto de la sociedad en el Occidente bajomedieval. Ahora bien, todavía no se conoce suficientemente bien cómo se articularon ni cuál fue el nivel de integración de todas estas diversas formas de crédito. Dicho en otras palabras, resulta difícil establecer cuáles fueron los primeros pasos en la construcción de sistemas complejos y diversos, que abarcaron tanto el ámbito público como el privado, y que conectaron y dieron servicio a un amplio espectro social y territorial mediante variados instrumentos y métodos crediticios. Para contribuir a conocer un poco mejor este proceso, así como las características precisas y el alcance del sistema financiero que surge al final de la época medieval, se plantea la presente obra, que tiene como objetivo fundamental el estudio concreto de algunos de sus principales componentes.

En 1990 se celebró en Tijuana el Encuentro de Mujeres Cineastas y Videoastas Latinas: México-Estados Unidos. Cruzando Fronteras, donde participaron más de ochenta mexicanas y chicanas ligadas al cine y al video. El encuentro estableció un diálogo entre mujeres que se han dedicado a la producción, distribución, exhibición y crítica de material de cine y video, además de que tuvo como propósito central dar a conocer las obras de estas artistas y servir de homenaje a Matilde Landeta y Pola Weiss, pioneras de la filmación femenina. Las ponencias y participaciones orales que se realizaron en dicho evento son recogidas en Miradas de mujer. En los textos se analiza una rica gama de temas, como la contra-estética y el lenguaje del cine hecho por mujeres, la historia del cine y el video en Puerto Rico, la experiencia femenina indígena de filmación, los casos de las películas de Isela Vega y la India María, los mitos y estereotipos alrededor de la mujer en el cine fronterizo y mexicano, semblanzas de artistas del lente y análisis de sus obras, etc. Miradas de mujer es la memoria viva de un amplio intercambio de visiones.

A pesar de que la relación de Nathaniel Hawthorne con el Trascendentalismo no ha sido siempre de adhesión, y que en más de una oportunidad su obra critica duramente este movimiento filosófico en varios aspectos, es evidente que en su cuento El Artista de lo Bello el autor adhiere plenamente a la postura que exalta la búsqueda individual de la dimensión espiritual del hombre.Hawthorne explora la concepción trascendentalista de la belleza y del propio ser en la creación artística y la presenta como locus de resistencia al materialismo y utilitarismo de la Nueva Inglaterra de su tiempo. De la misma manera que su protagonista Owen Warland resiste con su experiencia artística a aquellos que lo perturban y no sucumbe a su presión, Nathaniel Hawthorne resiste con su cuento las tendencias modernas que prometen progreso pero que instan a los hombres a negar su esencia espiritual.
