FictionAndreaa Constantin
by Esteban Torres Lana
A dangerous challenge at sea through a rock arch battered by strong waves. She ends up seriously injured in a leg when her friend Aurelio arrives at the cove. Overcoming her pain, she hides her injuries from Aurelio and tells him the extraordinary story of her mother, which propelled her to undertake such a madness. The story begins 6 years ago in Tenerife, with Nayra's expulsion from Philosophy class for the third time in a week, causing Pablo, her father, to pick her up from school and embark on a long day of disputes, confessions, and finally, complicities between them. Walking around Santa Cruz, canceling classes and professional commitments, Pablo and Nayra spend the day discovering a personal and sentimental reality that surprises them. The problems Nayra mentions with a group of immigrant classmates, along with the aggression Nayra shows towards her mother, Lola, prompt Pablo to tell her the unfinished story with Andreea, a high-class Romanian prostitute. Pablo cannot control the level of intimacy of the tale despite his own amazement, hearing himself say things he thought were unspeakable. Nayra responds, between disputes and affection, interspersing her own confidences, some of them having a strong impact, like the adventure with an immigrant who arrived on the beaches of Fuerteventura during a summer excursion. Neither tells the most intimate details of their stories truthfully, but they are accessible to the reader. Despite frequent arguments due to the teenager's incisive and groundbreaking language, their complicity grows and they end up spending the day together, walking through different places in the city. The story with Andreea takes on dramatic tones that completely captivate the young woman. Two suicides, the chase by Romanian mafia, returning to her hometown, searching for Pablo, Andreea’s struggle to regain her dignity and her artistic capacity through painting, and the apparent disappearance of her father's life, capture Nayra’s attention. Despite the narrative tricks used by Pablo, when night falls and they reach home, Nayra connects the dots and is surprised to discover that her perfectionist and successful mother, a recognized painter from Santa Cruz, with whom she has had a very conflictive season, is Andreea Constantin, the Romanian immigrant her father met as a high-class prostitute. After an initial reaction of rejection due to the ignorance in which she was kept, she understands her mother's situation. All the questions she always had about many details of her life arise with the discovery. A few years after discovering her identity, Andreea disappears from home. A call from Romania alerts them to the discovery of two charred bodies near her birthplace and the presence of her old exploiter nearby, who cursed her for life through a Transylvania ritual when she abandoned prostitution. Knowing she was discovered in Tenerife, Andreea tried to keep her family away from danger and returned to her country, where she was easy prey for the mafia. Pablo and his daughter Nayra fly to Bucharest to identify Andreea’s body, which may have been brutally murdered and burned. When it seems the identification will be negative, a small detail of the clothing makes them doubt. Desolate, they receive medical and psychological support from the Romanian team, but it turns out to be a false lead. Andreea is rescued from a hideout and has survived due to a misunderstanding by her captors. Protected by the Romanian police, she later becomes a key witness whose testimony ends the dangerous band of her pimp. But that bravery comes at a price; 2 years later, she does not return from an art exhibition in Paris. The police believe that her exploiter’s curse was fulfilled by a nephew who visited him in prison shortly before his death and was seen in Paris during the days Andreea had the exhibition. After a year of anguish, Nayra can no longer bear the situation and decides to mourn her mother at the cove where she painted her last picture. It had as its background the rock arch symbolizing the risk of living and facing life’s challenges. Nayra considers her mother lost and throws Andreea’s ashes into the sea, symbolized by those of a magnolia branch she planted many years ago. With this, she internalizes the loss and the fighting values Andreea taught her. The exit from the volcanic cove is a song to the life that continues and to the young woman who represents it. The novel is dedicated to the memory of Andreea Constantin and the thousands of women sexually exploited around the world.

Sociology & anthropologyAugust 2020De cor da pele
by Camargo, Denise
More than three hundred years of slavery have bequeathed to Brazil a society in which racism infiltrates daily life in the most perverse ways. From the coloring pencils used at school to the terms with which people define themselves, resulting from the range of tones that miscegenation - recognized or not - produces, the beauty of color and diversity is only now beginning to be noticed.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2019Lugares, recorridos y sentidos de la memoria histórica: Acercamientos metodológicos
by Laura Fonseca Durán, Diana Vernot, Tatiana Rojas Roa, Laura Giraldo Martínez, Edwin Corena Puentes, David J. Luquetta Cediel
This book is an initiative of the Regional Groups of Historical Memory (GRMH), which, together with the National Center for Historical Memory since 2013, generated proposals for the construction of historical memory in Colombia. The objective of the consolidation of the GRMH has been to recognize local research processes carried out by university professors to build bridges between the country's institutions and communities victimized in the framework of the internal armed conflict in Colombia. Although the participatory social research bets are nourished by multiple edges, disciplines, and schools of thought, there are methodological peculiarities in the investigations that are formulated in the key of historical memory that, on this occasion, are transversal and are deepened in each chapter.

January 2020Hablemos al cuerpo con el lenguaje del cuerpo: el movimiento
El neurodesarrollo de los niños mediante el movimiento, en la escuela y en casa
by Isabel Compan Fernández y Montserrat Pagès Rosas
La propuesta que las autoras presentan ofrece a todos los profesionales relacionados con la educación, maduración y acompañamiento del niño, una herramienta útil que engloba todas las características a tener en cuenta para lograr su pleno desarrollo, respetando su propia personalidad y de acuerdo con los parámetros sociales adecuados.Los niños necesitan tiempo para lograr su desarrollo de forma natural y para alcanzar la integración de los patrones de movimiento motor y sensorial necesarios para desarrollar sus habilidades fisiológicas. La obra muestra la importancia del movimiento en la escuela y evidencia por qué hay que potenciar el neurodesarrollo de los niños mediante el movimiento de modo que este llegue a formar parte de la cotidianidad. Las últimas investigaciones sobre el cerebro avalan y ponen de manifiesto las incontables ventajas del movimiento.El libro, hace un breve recorrido por diferentes aspectos fisiológicos del desarrollo del niño que tienen influencia tanto en el logro de sus competencias como en su comportamiento y en su aprendizaje, entendiendo que la falta de maduración motora y sensorial, y la falta de integración de los reflejos primarios, están en la base de muchas de las dificultades específicas actuales de la infancia. Es necesario un cambio de paradigma y una adaptación curricular a las necesidades reales de los niños, para poder convertir las dificultades de aprendizaje en retos superables para todos.

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.

June 2018Un mundo ch'ixi es posible
Ensayos desde un presente en crisis
by Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui
“Lo ch’ixi apareció en mi horizonte cognitivo cuando todavía no sabia nombrar aquello que había descubierto a través de mis esfuerzos de reflexión y de práctica, cuando decía ‘esa mezcla rara que somos’. Aprendí la palabra ch’ixi de boca del escultor aymara Víctor Zapana, que me explicaba qué animales salen de esas piedras y por qué ellos son animales poderosos. Me dijo enconces ‘ch’ixinakax utxiwa’, es decir, existen, enfáticamente, las entidades ch’ixi, que son poderosas porque son indeterminadas, porque no son blancas ni negras, son las dos cosas a la vez. La serpiente es de arriba y a la vez de abajo; es masculina y femenina; no pertenece ni al cielo ni a la tierra pero habita ambos espacios, como lluvia o como río subterráneo, como rayo o como veta de la mina. Sobre las premisas de una brújula ética y la igualdad de inteligencias y poderes cognitivos –ciertamente expresables en una diversidad de lenguas y epistemes- podrá tejerse quizás una epistemología ch’ixi de carácter planetario que nos habilitará en nuestras tareas comunes como especie humana, pero a la vez nos enraizará aún más en nuestras comunidades y territorios locales”.

Los estorninos vuelan juntos como un fantasma diurno de las alturas. ¿Qué bichos andan debajo de la corteza y dibujan surcos en el tronco? ¿Qué secreto esconde el sabor de la savia? Al terminar el día, la luna llena asoma entre los árboles del bosque cuando un perro pasa como una sombra y corre dando saltos. A lo lejos se escucha un grito agudo, Corazón, Corazón… Exposición múltiple es una creación de:Guillermo Álvarez Castro, Gustavo Espinosa, Henry Trujillo, Horacio Cavallo, Inés Bortagaray, Inés Garland, Leonardo Cabrera, Manuel Soriano, Mercedes Estramil, Rosario Lázaro IgoaÁlvaro Percovich, Carlos Contrera, Guillermo Carballa, Jorge Ameal, Manuela Aldabe, Marcelo Casacuberta, Mariana Méndez, Pablo Bielli, Santiago Mazzarovich, Tali Kimelman
