The twilight of simple things. Hopeful readings and critical perspectives for a south in pandemic
by Nelson Specchia, José Emilio Ortega.
Description
“The twilight of simple things” is an effort shared by more than thirty Latin American voices. This book does not pretend to be a calm evaluative work, it is rushed by the pulse of the situation, its writing emerges in the heat of the moment, set on a reality that moves and jumps, without a clear direction, but with the need to contribute to the emergence of that clarity.
And it is also an attempt to help, rehearsing answers, the unexpected needs of this unexpected time of ours. Because a community, totally and unprecedentedly confined in its private environments, with social distance, areas surrounded by sanitary barriers, and communication methodologies mediated almost exclusively by computer screens and cell phones, requires propositional ideas and critical reflections that collaborate in its understanding of a universal problem, and in the ways and modalities in which we will emerge from it to a new normal.
The uncertainty that comes with that necessary but painful social isolation, has also brought with it the longing for guiding readings and reflections on the variables that are profoundly, and perhaps forever, altering our daily lives and our environment.
