        Shout out what is silenced

        A young eco-social activist gives voice to what the Climate Summits silence.

        by Alejandro Quecedo del Val, Marina Garcés

        "Alejandro Quecedo del Val points to the need for a reform of being and feeling that connects us again with nature." - foreword by Marina Garcés   Gritar lo que está callado (Shout out what is silenced) is written by a 19-year-old who has attended climate summits representing Spain.   It is not just another book about climate change, it is a book that reveals what is on the fringes of the climate summits, what prevents the fight against climate change from progressing. The invited and silenced young people are the example of the smoke screens that are created in the information of the disaster, for example with the Greta Thunberg phenomenon.   Under the slogan Uniting the world to tackle climate change, the next United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) — held in Glasgow (United Kingdom) from November 1 to 12, 2021— brought together representatives of around 200 governments with the aim of accelerating climate action to comply with the Paris Agreement.   In a recent article, Alejandro Quecedo pointed to the disappointment of a large part of the activist sector, after learning about the withdrawal of permits and funding for citizen and scientific initiatives, with the excuse of not "excessively politicizing the summit", a fact to which was added the leak to the media that certain lobbies had pressed to amend the latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in order to deny the evidence of an increasingly imminent catastrophe and blind public opinion with half-truths, sweetened.   The author has been interviewed by the most important media in Spain, all interested in his position: to ask for a change of sensitivity in order to stop the eco-social crisis.

        Walking in Hope Why doesn't God apparently answer our prayers?

        by P. Emmanuel de Bézenac, SSCC

        El propósito fundamental de esta obra más que indagar el mensaje que nos deja la pandemia, el cual actualmente azota nuestro planeta, es intentar resolver unos interrogantes que muchos de nosotros nos formulamos frente a esta situación: ¿A qué atribuir el aparente silencio de Dios? ¿Por qué Dios no atiende nuestros ruegos?Estos y otros interrogantes se encuentran a lo largo del libro, sustentados especialmente con textos de la Sagrada Escritura y documentos eclesiales. El autor nos invita a reflexionar acerca de un Dios misericordioso y preocupado por la suerte de sus hijos, que no es ajeno a nuestro dolor, que nos ama tiernamente y que tiene un proyecto para nosotros. Si bien lo que está pasando actualmente en el mundo cuestiona nuestra organización social y económica, esta obra tiene como objetivo que nos interpelemos en nuestra condición como seres creados y cómo es nuestra relación con Dios.

        A SHIFT IN CAPITALISM

        NEW SOCIAL ARCHITECTURES

        by Ladislau Dowbor

        In this book, Ladislau Dowbor analyzes a set of changes in capitalism that suggests we are in transition to another system of production, leaving behind the so-called industrial era and developing something new, which the author calls the Age of Knowledge. However, new does not necessarily mean better: we may be living in a more connected and collaborative society,  but old problems – such as environmental, social and economic ones – that are getting worse every day, in addition to individualized control over populations, through algorithms and artificial intelligence, weigh on the future of humanity. It is up to us to foresee the directions that this brave – or horrid – new world will take.

        Üñüm püllü. Bird spirit

        by Lorenzo Aillapán

        Lorenzo Aillapán, recognized as a Living Human Treasure in 2012 by UNESCO, is the Mapuche bird man - üñümche in Mapuzugun. A poet originally from the coast of the Araucanía Region, he is a great connoisseur of nature, of the mysteries hidden by living beings on land and in the sea. Part of this wisdom is shared with the readers in these 46 poems about diverse organisms that inhabit different environments: the water (fish and seafood), the mountainous universe (trees) and the winged universe (birds). Through hisverses, the poet describes various aspects of these living beings: what they are like, what the place is like where they live, how they behave, what use they can be put to and what importance they have for the Mapuche people. In the case of the birds, the poems also incorporate the onomatopoeia of their song. This complete anthological volume is bilingual Mapuzugun/Spanish.

Papelito, mujer joven, víctima sobreviviente de un conflicto armado, forzada a recorrer y enfrentar ese mismo país, guardaespaldas de ocupación, de remate boxeadora e inteligente, resuelve su vida a golpes y le funciona.
