The ArtsMemoria y paisaje en el cine japonés de posguerra
by Pedro Iacobelli y Claudia Lira
La Segunda Guerra Mundial en Japón fue un evento único y transformador que implicó la reconstrucción física y espiritual del país. El paisaje —como categoría estética— y la memoria —como una entidad colectiva— son conceptos que permiten auscultar a los pueblos luego de crisis históricas profundas. En este sentido, la presente publicación examina las principales corrientes del cine japonés a partir de una lectura y análisis histórico y estético, e innova en la lectura de las sociedades poscrisis al incorporar una visión interdisciplinaria original. “No hay nación cuyo sentido del tiempo y del espacio se mantengan invariables después de una catástrofe fundamental. El cine de posguerra de Japón, a través del desarrollo estético de sus identidades espaciales y temporales, conjuga poéticamente las nociones de trauma, origen e identidad. Los minuciosos escritos que reúne este libro analizan ese corpus fílmico en torno a los conceptos de memoria y paisaje, pero no solo como tipificación de argumentos, elementos de drama o iconografías, sino especialmente como ideas audiovisuales de la conciencia moderna en crisis, forma que desde occidente o desde nuestra periferia contemplamos con una extrañeza familiar”. Pablo Corro PhD, director del Magíster en Estudios de Cine. Instituto de Estética UC

Society & culture: generalNovember 2019Pedagoginga, autonomia e mocambagem
by da Rosa, Allan
“Pedagoginga, Autonomia e Mocambagem" harmonizes with some very important spheres: the philosophical, historical and contextualized attention on what was conventionally called black cultures; the consistent implementation of the teaching of history and culture of these matrices from African sources and heads, black feet and hands, the sweaty dream of an autonomous popular education movement on the outskirts of São Paulo at the beginning of the 21st century. pillars, challenges and also contradictions, and with this perspective, he invites the reader to reflect on the educational practice, so the author presents a new pedagogical proposal, new but twisted to ancestral aesthetics and fundamentals, which implies the autonomy of educators and students , as well as a genuine commitment to Afro-Brazilian culture. Here is a book of reflections, doubts, slides and nin hos on a practice of years in Popular Education whose motto is the experience of organizing and implementing independent courses in our peripheries in São Paulo, focused on the black experience of yesterday, the future, today and that of so many lines, spirals and balls of the time that we weave. The book is part of the Insurgências Collection, which was born with the aim of sharing and revolving reflections and practices committed to different ways of thinking about the world, relationships, ways of learning and teaching.

February 2020Periferie
Dall’eterotopia alla rigenerazione
by Emanuele, Iula
The book presents an original philosophical reflection on the urban suburbs, on their birth and their functioning, as well as on the human suburbs, with the experience of those who live "remotely", as a peripheral being. The path followed leads to a substantial reformulation of our way of understanding the suburbs, in the wake of the pastoral attention of the magisterium of Pope Francis, with the aim of opening new paths of meaning.

Literature & Literary StudiesMarch 2020AMAZON MOUTH
Society and culture in Dalcidio Jurandir
by Willi Bolle
This book presents an overview of Amazonian history and analyzes the novel Cycle of the Far North, by Dalcidio Jurandir, a work that represents the social inequality and exclusion inherent to Amazonian society. Willi Bolle rescues the work of this important, albeit unknown, author, emphasizing Dalcidio Jurandir’s contribution to our understanding of Amazonian culture. In his work, Jurandir describes the quotidian of those living in the periphery of society, and advocates, quite emphatically, quality education for the poor. He also registers the social dialect of the inhabitants of the Amazon, in a document of the cultural memory of the region.

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.

Tantalum's rule
by Claudio Forti
Una luce penetrante. Un uomo confuso recuperato dalla polizia. E tante, troppe cornacchie. Norman Barclay è un dirigente di successo, uso a tutti gli agi di New York, ma da quattro anni non dorme più. Le sue notti sono devastate dal ricordo ancora vivido di quella luce e alleviate solo dalle inebrianti prostitute di Madame Trilly. L’improbabile equilibrio è rotto da un uomo grigio e misterioso: John Smith. Così anonimo da non lasciare alcuna traccia di sé, se non un enigmatico biglietto da visita: ‘Professor Jeremy Kalwinsky, psicopatologo della memoria’. Sarà un secondo biglietto, lascito di una coinvolgente notte d’amore, a spingere Norman a cercare l’aiuto di Kalwinsky per sbarazzarsi dei ricordi che lo tormentano. Insieme al sollievo dell’oblio arriverà però una inattesa discesa negli inferi dei dimenticati. Qui Barclay scoprirà una grigia verità ben più inquietante dei ricordi...

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2019The construction of regional identities in Spain, France and Germany, 1890-1939
by Eric Storm
Many of the existing regional topics were forged in the late 19th or early 20th century. Painters, architects and international exhibitions -such as those in Barcelona and Seville- played a crucial role in the definition and visualization of the idiosyncratic character of each region. This pioneering book compares the process of building regional identities in Spain with that of France and Germany, showing that regionalist paintings, houses and pavilions were generally interpreted as a sample of (regional) diversity within the (national) unit. The culture of regionalism was therefore part of a new phase of the nationalization process, while its relations with the various regional movements were weak.

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)September 2019Cuentos META
by Enrique Patiño, Hadley Pennington Keefe, Federico Palomera, Lautaro Vincon, Belén Palos, Thais Díaz Montalvo, María Toca, Dixon Acosta Medellín
Is the goal the beginning or the end? Is the goal sequel or consequence? META Stories brings together eight narrative voices that transform realities, invert solutions and reconcile results with objectives, so that the purpose of their actions exceeds their own expectations. Some of the inhabitants of this playing field are: an ambitious journalist and an anti-establishment revolutionary planning known theories on outdated models; a perfect couple who decides their own path of perdition; a Russian teacher determined to beat the winter cold in postwar Spain; a young woman who finds a peculiar way of transmuting her family reality; a dressmaker's apprentice who in World War II Paris amends wrappings and fabrics; a mother who is reborn in a story already written; a woman who prefers to live to imagine, and for whom an outcome is reconstructed; and a man who learns the true meaning of not scoring a goal. The characters and voices in these stories pose new challenges in the extremes of a biographical journey in which the beginning and the end are part of a process of knowledge.

FictionOctober 2021Borges in Stockholm
A fiction that dismantles the bad habits of postmodernity.
by Sonia Dalton
Winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the ambition of any self-respecting writer. Especially when he risks the glory of being the first to receive it in his country. After appearing in the favorites lists for several years, it seems that César Aira's time has come to enjoy that moment and that condition. This fiction narrates the vicissitudes of the writer's journey from Buenos Aires to Stockholm, his dreamy stay in the Nordic city and his return to an Argentina where he is not expected. In the end, the 2024 Nobel Prize for Literature seems to have been awarded to the Eldense writer, with a Galician pedigree, Cesárea Areas. Through an extensive play on words, this parody tries to dismantle the remnants of postmodernity still in force in the literary and academic worlds. The key is humor, which, in order to be so, cannot fail to be corrosive. Also tenderness, because beneath the greatest ambitions the most insignificant motivations are usually to be found. It will please whoever manages to laugh, without guilt (or with it), at the most deeply rooted vices on the altars of culture and at the most recalcitrant social stereotypes. In short, whoever wants to take a walk through the nonsense, lift the cobblestones of postmodernity and peek at whatever may be underneath. A new normal?

FictionRewind
by Juan Tallón
SHORTLISTED FOR IV PREMIO BIENAL DE NOVELA MARIO VARGAS LLOSA 2021 - One Friday in May, on what is shaping up to be a perfect day, there is a strange explosion in a building in Lyon. One of the flats in the now ruined building was occupied by a group of students from various countries who were having a party. Paul, student of Fine Art; Emma, tormented by the tortuous history of her Spanish family; Luca, fascinated both with mathematics and with the cyclist, Marco Pantani; and Ilka, a student who left Berlin with nothing more than a guitar on her back: these are the tenants of a house that was a popular meeting place for the city’s students. In the neighbouring flat, also hit by the explosion, lives a quiet Moroccan family, whose members are apparently well-integrated into French life. The novel explores events from various points of view. Through five narrators – victims and witnesses – we discover what happened that Friday night and the consequences that unfolded over the next three years, until their accounts have covered every hidden aspect of the explosion. Rewind explores whether it is possible to rewind events. And examines our personal ghosts, the role of chance, the people who in the end we do not become, the secrets that must or must not be told, and our capacity to remake ourselves when we are broken. This novel is an espionage operation that investigates the mechanisms of life. How it changes without warning, turns, throws you into the air and destroys you when you are least prepared for it. And, just as mysteriously, how – if you survive everything life has to throw at you – it then allows you to remake yourself and keep moving forward.
