October 202018-10 Reflexion Visual del Estallido Social en Chile
by Maria Eliana Aguayo
Work that represents a visual testimony of the social outbreak that was presented in Chile in October 2019, without censorship or cuts. Illustrations, vignettes and comics that in an intimate and stark way show the various experiences and points of view of young artists. Visions of social criticism, community, hope, joy, effervescence, violence and pain are presented. In this careful and attractive work, the best 86 works obtained through an open call by RRSS are compiled. It is an eminently visual book (with large, full-color illustrations and comics); trilingual (with translations into English and French); and informative (includes notes with reflections from the artists and comments from the editor). The compilation and production of the book was in charge of the publisher María Eliana Aguayo. Regarding the creation of the book, the editor comments: “We are very happy with the success of the call, we received more than 500 works from more than 150 authors from different parts of the country and abroad (…) The hardest work was selecting, ordering and systematize all this, the works, reflections and notes”.

Literature & Literary StudiesProfesor Sísifo
by Álex Saldías
Un profesor recién egresado inicia un patético y revelador camino al enfrentarse por primera vez a alumnos desinteresados y a un sistema sin interés por educarlos. Sus ilusiones como docente, la responsabilidad con los estudiantes, su creatividad artística, las posibilidades económicas o sociales son las piedras que empuja durante el año escolar. La fatalidad no está en el peso de esas rocas, sino en la montaña que hace imposible ascender. La inutilidad del esfuerzo humano dentro de un sistema educacional injusto trata de cobrar algún sentido en el caos de esta novela de prosa recursiva y ágil, pero atomizada en guías de aprendizaje, currículums de vida y autoevaluaciones pedagógicas que no tienen una verdadera razón de ser.

Una reflexión sobre prácticas y discursos descolonizadores
by Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui
Hay en el colonialismo una función muy peculiar para las palabras: las palabras no designan, sino encubren. Y esto es particularmente evidente en la fase republicana, cuando se tuvieron que adoptar ideologías igualitarias y al mismo tiempo escamotear los derechos ciudadanos a una mayoría de la población. No se habla de racismo, y sin embargo en tiempos muy recientes hecmos atestiguado estallidos racistas colectivos, que a primera vista resultan inexplicables. Creemos que ahí se desnudan las formas escondidas, soterradas, de los conflictos culturales que acarreamos, y que no podemos racionalizar. Incluso, no podemos conversar sobre ellos. Nos cuesta hablar, conectar nuestro lenguaje público con el lenguaje privado. No cuesta decir lo que pensamos y hacernos conscientes de este trasfondo pulsional de conflictos y vergüenzas inconscientes. Esto nos ha creado modos retóricos de comunicarnos, dobles sentidos, sentidos tácitos, convenciones del habla que esconden una serie de sobreentendidos y que orientan las prácticas, pero que a la vez divorcian a la acción de la palabra pública. Desde nuestra perspectiva, podemos encontrar en las imágenes interpretaciones y narrativas sociales, que desde siglos precoloniales iluminen este trasfondo social y nos ofrezcan perspectivas de comprensión critica de la realidad.

June 2020Caja continua de voces
by Pablo Martín Ruiz
Essays, travel journals, reflections, epigrams, visual poetry, lists, notes, paradoxes, compilations, critiques, stories, outlines, translations, palindromes, these are all the bricks with which, in the manner of a certain Chinese encyclopedia, a sort of epistemology of restriction and of the unusual is built. A necklace where no two pearls are alike: the bet, of course, is centered on the thread that ties them together. It gives the impression that the author, owner of a playful, penetrative gaze, is concerned with the poetic dimension of the pure forms of language and that absolutely nothing is alien to him.The result is an absolutely singual, stimulating, and highly entertaining book, which makes us gratefully abandon the place of our comfortable ideas.

Science & MathematicsDel gusano cósmico al cerebro del pulpo
Ensayos sobre ciencia
by Juan Carlos Fontecilla Camps
Este libro describe una historia que comenzó hace unos 200 mil años, con la aparición de la especie humana probablemente en el cuerno de África. El mundo era un lugar lleno de incógnitas a las que, con el paso de los milenios, hemos procurado responder en el largo camino que lleva del mito a la ciencia. Nuestra curiosidad e inteligencia nos ha permitido descifrar, en gran medida, los misterios del universo, de la vida y de nosotros mismos. Hemos aprendido que, tras la aparente constancia y lógica del mundo en que vivimos, se esconden leyes físicas que rigen lo enormemente pequeño y lo inconmensurablemente grande. Sabemos también que la vida necesitó condiciones muy especiales para surgir y que su evolución no ha ocurrido de manera lineal ni estable; nuestra propia evolución es el fruto de múltiples cruzamientos entre diferentes grupos humanos hace cientos de miles de años. Solo somos la rama sobreviviente de un árbol muy frondoso. Los quince ensayos aquí contenidos abarcan temas que nos han fascinado desde hace mucho tiempo, como son el origen de la vida en la Tierra, la evolución biológica, la situación de nuestro planeta en el espacio, la microbiota, la inteligencia animal, la naturaleza de los virus, y también la teoría de la relatividad y los agujeros (hoyos) negros. Si bien son escritos con un estilo científico, estos ensayos están destinados a todo tipo de lector cuyo interés sea profundizar su comprensión de la realidad y de las curiosidades del mundo en que vivimos. Si no lo sabía ya, el lector verá que no ha sido fácil alcanzar la comprensión de la realidad de la que disponemos hoy. Históricamente, las instituciones humanas tienen tendencia a dar explicaciones de lo que no entienden aún y a preservarlas; mientras que la ciencia, por definición, es iconoclasta e innovadora.

30 Days with María
by Esteban Torres Lana
A young woman at the brink of death is admitted into a hospital in La Coruña, Galicia, Spain. Soon, her doctors realize this woman, María Sa, has been chemically poisoned. Through handwritten journals, we realize that María, who is the son of Palestinian father, is implicating Prime Minister Netanyahu in the attempt to assassinate her. But we also discover through the journals that María is a free, polyamorous, independent spirit, enamored with the Palestinian cause and always looking for justice. The journals come to an abrupt end, 30 days after María has been admitted into the hospital.
