2020A Geografia da Paz
by SPYKMAN, NICHOLAS JOHN
A geografia da paz é uma obra clássica do pensamento geopolítico mundial. Spykman apresenta de forma muito clara os caminhos geoestratégicos, para superar o que Mackinder chamaria de maior das generalizações da geografia, o poder do Heartland. Do seu imenso esforço teórico para apresentar uma solução para tal questão, usando todo o aparato teórico da geoestratégia, nasce uma regionalização do Rimland e sua formulação tão conhecida. Em outras palavras, nunca houve realmente uma simples oposição do poder terrestre e poder marítimo. O alinhamento histórico sempre foi em termos de alguns membros do Rimland com a Grã-Bretanha contra alguns membros do Rimland com a Rússia, ou a Grã-Bretanha e a Rússia unidos contra um poder dominante do Rimland. O ditado de Mackinder “Quem controla a Europa oriental governa o Heartland; quem governa o Heartland governa a Ilha Mundial; e quem governa a Ilha Mundial, o Mundo” é falso. Se há um slogan para a política de poder do Velho Mundo, deve ser “Quem controla o Rimland, governa a Eurásia, quem governa a Eurásia controla os destinos do mundo”.

Geography & the EnvironmentChile geopoético
by Miguel Laborde
Esta publicación reúne veintiocho columnas del investigador, académico y escritor Miguel Laborde, con ilustraciones de Alejandra Acosta, publicadas en la revista La Panera. Sus textos dan cuenta de una serie de datos geográficos e históricos que permiten asomarse a ciertos rasgos distintivos de Chile desde los cuales se construye un relato del imaginario local. La geopoética como concepto nace como una herramienta para comprender y expresar nuestra relación con el mundo y el pensar a la Tierra. Considera la cultura como el modo en el que los seres humanos se conciben a sí mismos y se organizan y orientan. “Desde el punto de vista literario, un libro como este, que corrió el riesgo de ser concebido por la vía de la protesta en un lenguaje de pura comunicación, es, por el contrario, un libro poético, de excelente prosa, de gran riqueza de imágenes y sorpresas de lógica e ilógica. Su crítica al modelo de civilización vigente es lapidaria, pero de un furor contenido”. Gastón Soublette

FictionFebruary 2019Forget Atlas
by Teresa Ibars
Atles de l’oblit parla d’uns racons de la memòria, del paisatge i de les emocions que, com un quadre impressionista farcit de petites pinzellades, han configurat una percepció de la realitat i una manera de ser. Mitjançant un viatge que porta l’autora al cor d’un territori, el Baix Segre, i a la vida d’uns personatges, potser ja majoritàriament oblidats, en aquest llibre es fa un exercici voluntari de recordar per comprendre. Perquè quan una persona deixa de viure en un lloc i, per tant, engega un cert camí d’oblit, o veu com son pare comença a oblidar per culpa d’una malaltia que se’l menja, pot ser que aquesta persona adquireixi la clara consciència que tornar sempre resulta impossible i quan hom té aquesta certesa tan sols queda entomar qui som i on som de nou.

The ArtsAugust 2019SOUTH AMERICAN CITIES AS CULTURAL ARENAS
by Fernanda Arêas Peixoto and Adrián Gorelik (editors)
Organized by Fernanda Arêas Peixoto, professor at the Department of Anthropology of the University of São Paulo, and Adrián Gorelik, professor at the University of Quilmes, this book is the result of a collective research project about the cultural urban history in South America, which was developed by a group of South American researchers. Using as a compass the notion of “cultural arena”, this work performs a reflection on the city as a place of cultural germination, experimentation and resistance. Some cities – Buenos Aires, Santiago, Lima, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Salvador, Montevideo, among others – are studied in order to capture the intimate and inextricable relations between city and culture.

Daniel is an introverted boy who struggles to find friends in the village where he went to live after the disappearance of his parents. Finally one day, a new classmate seems to notice him.

There is another ghost in the school, but not like Diana. He is different. He is a wandering soul, a dangerous spirit. Diana was sent to investigate, to find out why he reappeared, to help him get back to where he came from. Unfortunately, Daniel will have to help her… First book in Daniel Ghost Series.

June 2018Puente y precipicio, última poesía rusa
by Varios autores, Círculo de Poesía, Círculo de Poesía, Círculo de Poesía, Círculo de Poesía
Toda antología es el mapa de un espacio más o menos desconocido. Fiel a ese principio, este volumen de poesía rusa en lengua castellana, en selección y traducción de Indira Díaz, nos guía por el basto territorio a lo largo de la segunda mitad del sigloo XX y de los primeros años del siglo XXI. Como todo mapa, éste abre ante nosotros un sinfin de mundos - no menos de cincuenta que es el número de poetas recogidos - y corresponderá posteriormente al lector adentrarse por cuenta propia en esos mundos o en aquellos otros de los que más o menos indirectamente nos abra las puertas. Cincuenta voces que nos remiten, por ausencia o por presencia, a otros puntos de otros mapas del mismo territorio, mapas temporales (como no sentirnos tentados a buscar, para encontrar o no, los ecos de una Brodsky, una Ajmátova, un Mandelshtam, una Tsvataieva, un Evtushenko, etc., por no remitirnos más a trás), mapas espaciales (no en vano los poetas presentados proceden de los más diversos rincones de la geografía rusa) o mapas de lecturas (¿habrá ecos de tradiciones literarias ajenas a la rusa?, qué cadencia tendrán?). Tantas y tantas respuestas en estas páginas.

Food & DrinkOctober 2022The Heart of Cocoa
500 Years of Chocolate History
by Napoleone Neri
The temptation par excellence, that craving that suddenly arises and we cannot fight it unless we satisfy it: the desire for chocolate. Perhaps it is because of this power that it is called the most loved food on the planet. Or perhaps it is because its cultivation, production and consumption - which has been growing strongly in the last 10 years - are spread across all continents. Napoleon Neri tells its story, starting with the plant and its fruit, from the pioneers of chocolate, to the birth of confectionery factories in the 19th century and then the great modern industries. He describes in detail the processing and transformation of cocoa beans, their beneficial properties, the sensory characteristics of the finished product, and spices everything up with a thousand anecdotes and curiosities that only those who have lived and worked in this world for so long can know.
