Colectânea de contos traduzidos pelos vencedores do Concurso de Tradução Literária 2020
by Sandra Tamele
Neste terceiro volume da Colectânea de Contos Traduzidos pelos vencedores do Concurso de Tradução Literária, apresentamos seis contos publicados entre 2017 e 2019 no âmbito do Caine Prize for African Writing e da colectânea New Short Fiction from Africa: ‘Involução’ da autoria da sul-africana Stacy Hardy que aborda abertamente a sexualidade da mulher, também preocupações sociais e políticas, faz alusão a questões como a degradação ambiental, o colonialismo e direitos da mulher, ancorados numa teatralidade conceptual necessária para que o conto não se torne efémero e engaje o sentido de humor do leitor para o aproximar da mente aberta de Hardy. ‘A heroína misteriosa’ ou ‘Mavbanelo na mayi’ em Bitonga, é da autoria da Tanzaniana Lydia Kasese. Ela escreve sobre as expectativas e pressões sociais que levam as mulheres a desejarem concertar tudo. Neste conto Kasese traz destramente à luz questões sobre o abuso de menores e o seu impacto sobre as famílias na Tanzânia e, não só. Alinafe Malonje estreou-se nesta colectânea da Short Story Day com o conto ‘Manutenção de Rotina’, um registo metafísico de um hotel: parte alegoria, parte meditação com um subtil comentário sobre o que significa ser mulher no Malawi. Natasha Omokhodion-Kalulu Banda cria um fabuloso hotel de fantasia que contém realidades sinistras, construindo um persuasivo mundo alternativo. Tariro Ndoro em ‘A lenda das duas irmãs’, ou ‘Xihitana xa vamakwavu na makwavu’ em Changana, traz uma abordagem arrepiante dos perigos da saudade, onde a busca por uma irmã num hotel de luxo em Victoria Falls tem um fim fantasmagórico. Mampianina Randria nos apresenta em ‘O Gatilho’, ou ‘Niyódeké sê xidúvúlá’ em Changana, um conto com um ritmo cerrado e um desfecho totalmente inesperado onde uma mulher que lida com as frustrações de quem entra na vida adulta.

Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2019Enseñemos paz, aprendamos paz: la pedagogía al servicio de la cohesión social
by Juan David Enciso
Peace is an idea, an abstract concept, which must be grounded in concrete realities. And building peace involves moving from an initial state, which may or may not be conflict, to a second moment in which people have learned to know, relate, meet, and live together. This book tries to elaborate on the construction of peace from an educational process, in which individuals learn to recognize themselves as subjects of equal dignity and with the capacity to carry out projects oriented to the common good. Similarly, educational settings, the so-called learning environments, are not confined exclusively to the walls of the classroom or the boundaries of formal education institutions: peace education occurs in any environment in which two or more coincide. people with potential conflicts of interest or collective construction.

FictionDecember 2018Ola de frio
by Diego Pita
Cold wave isn’t a novel about drugs and alcohol, nor is it a descent to the hell of substance abuse. It’s also not a novel about the economic crisis and how it changed Madrid forever. It’s not the story of individual or collective failure. It’s not only the devastating portrait of loneliness and desperation. It’s not a treaty on crude sexuality. In no case is it a moral tale, it doesn’t contain a message or ethical lesson. Everything mentioned above can be found in the pages of Cold wave, but it also contains the complete opposite. There is abstinence and redemption. There is a deep and urgent desire of finding peace and meaning to an empty life. There is a remote but growing whisper of hope. It’s the portrait of a regained vital impulse that fights to escape an inherited curse. The first trace of a sketch of the life that lays in front and, at the same time, the mourning of one wasted. A devastating change of skin that is born with the first frozen night of a Madrid winter. Ola de frío no es una novela sobre drogas y alcohol ni un descenso a los infiernos de la adicción. Tampoco es una novela sobre la crisis económica ni sobre cómo esta cambió la faz de la ciudad de Madrid para siempre. No es la historia de un fracaso individual o colectivo. No es únicamente un retrato devastador de soledad y desesperación. No es un tratado sobre una sexualidad descarnada. En ningún caso es un relato moral, no tiene mensaje ni moraleja.Ola de frío contiene en sus páginas todo lo citado anteriormente, pero también alberga todo lo contrario. Hay abstinencia y redención. Hay un profundo y urgente deseo de encontrar paz y sentido a una vida vacía. Hay un remoto pero creciente susurro de esperanza. Es el retrato de un recuperado impulso vital que lucha por zafarse de una maldición heredada. El primer trazo de un boceto de una vida por vivir y, al mismo tiempo, el duelo por una vida malgastada. Un desgarrador cambio de piel que nace con la primera noche helada del invierno madrileño.

FictionCien noches (A hundred nights)
by Luisgé Martín
HERRALDE PRIZE 2020 - Approximately half of us confess to being sexually unfaithful to our partners. But are the other half telling the truth or are they lying? There is only one way to find out: use private detectives or electronic surveillance to observe their lives. This novel proposes an anthropological experiment: to monitor six thousand people without their consent, so that we finally have reliable data about sexual behaviour in our societies. Irene, the novel’s protagonist, is searching for the secrets of the human soul in our sexuality. She travels from Madrid to Chicago to study psychology, and there, far from her family, she embarks upon a scientific analysis of the men she meets and the men she sleeps with. Her cold investigator’s gaze changes, however, when she falls in love with an Argentinian, Claudio, who has a painful secret and whose family has a dark past linked to his country’s history. Cien noches is a novel about the human heart, an exploration of our erotic lives, and the tale of police attempts to track down a murderer who has left no trace of his crime. Cien noches explores the different forms love can take, including its most radical and extreme versions, and the variety of our sexual behaviours, some of which are similarly radical and extreme. It records the loyalty, the infidelity, the unmentionable desires, taboos, half-truths and deceptions that are an essential part of our relationships. It talks of masks and lies. And it playfully incorporates a series of adultery case studies written for Luisgé Martín by Edurne Portela, Manuel Vilas, Sergio del Molino, Lara Moreno and José Ovejero, in a thought-provoking exercise in literary promiscuity.

Biography & True StoriesDecember 2020Amazonas con pincel
by Victoria Combalía
This book proposes a fascinating, clear and didactic journey through the life and work of women artists. Camille Claudel, Frida Kahlo or Dora Maar, among others, occupy the pages of this book illustrating a wide time period and their corresponding styles, from Impressionism to the 1940s of the 20th century.This work constitutes a corrected and enlarged part of Amazonas con brush, a book published in 2006. The texts seek a balance between the historical importance of the creators and the interest in their life, which sheds much light on the difficulties of being a woman and artist at the same time. For this reason, special attention has been paid to their working conditions, their success or neglect of their careers, and those who were able to encourage them or, on the contrary, silence them. They fought, like men, to express their vision of the world and renew artistic language, but in a social context far removed from equal opportunities. This book written by Victoria Combalía was in 2006 the first publication that was published in Spain focused on women artists.
