        Andreaa 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.

        The Animal Mirror

        by Zakarías Zafra

        Tapachula, Chiapas: a small city on the southern border of Mexico bearing the weight of a continental migratory crisis. Migrants trapped between bureaucracy, misery, and violence. Tens of thousands of bodies halted in front of the invisible wall of the United States. This book seeks to explore migration from the inside out. Its field of exploration encompasses not only the physical border but also the narrator's personal experience as an immigrant in Mexico. It is a hybrid work that weaves through chronicles, personal essays, autobiography, and travel writing, considering the migratory phenomenon not just as a collapse but as a space for profound subjective elaboration. The story of a religious leader expelled from Angola, the adventures of a former Colombian guerrilla threatened by the dissident factions of the FARC, and the nostalgia of an exiled Sandinista from Daniel Ortega's dictatorship blend in a common chorus with the narrator’s voice, son of a father killed by the Venezuelan state and a mother seeking asylum in Mexico. More than a chronicle, "El espejo animal" seeks to be a spoken portrait of migration in Latin America. It is an artifact that enables and amplifies the voices of migrants where they cannot be heard.

        The Gospel of Prosperity

        Literary and critical perspectives about the science of getting right quick

        by Luis Miguel Estrada

        In 2020, amidst the whirlwind of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ideas from books about the science of becoming a millionaire returned to Luis Miguel Estrada whom, since he left a financial job, has dedicated himself fully to literature. In this book, he thinks  some of the key questions raised by bestsellers from Napoleon Hill to Kiyosaki. Do we stop seeking money just because we pursue art? More importantly: regardless of what we do, how do we seek money? Why have narratives like positive thinking and the law of attraction become a universal language that gains strength during each economic crisis? Is there a link between bestsellers about the science of getting rich and great universal literature? This book attempts to answer these questions, beginning with the origins of books on becoming a millionaire, which delve into the agile 19th-century United States, transition through the fast-paced turn of the century, and explode in the years after the Great Depression. The journey continues with examples of wild successes (real-life fraudsters like Elizabeth Holmes or fictional criminals like Walter White from Breaking Bad) that prompt us to question the influence of success-at-any-cost ideas on popular culture, as well as their ethical limits. How can one reconcile readings, cultural products, and experiences that seem so distant? The broader reading audience responds more to "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill than to "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck. Is there a way to read them alongside each other and emerge renewed from the experience? This book invites you on that adventure.

        Laboratorios de paz en territorios de violencia

        by Miguel Barreto Herinques

        Este libro incide sobre una experiencia sui generis de construcción de paz en Colombia, los Laboratorios de paz. Situados en algunas de las zonas más conflictivas del país, constituyeron programas multidimensionales de construcción de paz desde la base, sostenidos por la sociedad civil, y con el respaldo y participación de la Unión Europea y del Estado colombiano. Esta investigación evalúa en qué medida los laboratorios de paz abrieron caminos novedosos y “fórmulas” alternativas para la paz a nivel local y regional.

        Colombia se enfrenta a uno de los mayores desafíos de su historia reciente: poner fin a más de cinco décadas de violencia armada. El proceso de paz entre el gobierno nacional y las FARC en La Habana permite vislumbrar una posible salida negociada al conflicto armado, pero genera también varios interrogantes en cuanto al modelo y contenido del posible acuerdo. En este libro se exploran tales preguntas, así como a las diversas exigencias y desafíos de la construcción de paz en un potencial escenario de posconflicto.

        A defence of armed Art/Struggle

        by Óscar Guardiola-Rivera

        Esta actitud obsesiva y antinomiana, que se denomina provocativamente la lucha "armada" en el camino hacia la paz (más que como lo opuesto a ella), presente como espíritu, efervescencia colectiva, combate o fantasma en los rituales institucionalizados o constitutivos (ejemplificado por el (episodio del juramento a cetro en la literatura clásica, ya menudo imaginado como un "contrato" original autorizado por una "voluntad" genérica que legitima el derecho en la literatura moderna), está representado bajo la economía política del régimen industrial-colonial en un estado de suspensión o "emergencia". En este sentido, como se sugirió anteriormente, el "estado de emergencia" que según Benjamin se ha convertido en la regla no es consecuencia de la violencia. Al contrario,es el intento de suspender el combate,

        Violencia de género y las respuestas de los sistemas penales

        by Encarna Bodelón (comp.)

        The problem of impunity and the devaluation of the rights of women who suffer sexist violence in intimate relationships is still present in European penal systems. The basic question is what differentiates sexist violence in the sphere of the couple from other types of violence. This type of violence in the sphere of the couple has nothing to do with what is known as injuries in the criminal sphere, but rather "gender violence, sexist violence, violence against women". The "problem" is not the women who report or do not report, but to what extent criminal treatment pursues the reported behaviors and protects women who suffer violence. In diverse contexts we will see common problems and remote solutions, but which coincide in not being yet ensuring the freedom of women. Our purpose is to advance in the construction of women's rights and denounce that the insufficient guarantee of the right to a life free of violence is an attack against all women, against all citizens and a burden of the patriarchal State.

        Negociación. ¿Cooperar o competir?

        Segunda edición actualizada.

        by Darío Rodríguez Mansilla, María Pilar Opazo, Cristián Saieh Mena

        Todos debemos aprender a negociar, no hay escapatoria. Nuestra vida es una negociación permanente. En toda comunicación, desde una conversación entre amigos, pasando por la compra de un auto o la venta de una empresa, hasta la conducción de un Estado, se producen conflictos y se toman decisiones que es necesario negociar. Pero las personas muchas veces administran el conflicto y la toma de decisiones que este conlleva en forma deficiente y, adicionalmente, el inadecuado manejo de la comunicación termina en resultados con pérdida de valor, tiempo, esfuerzo y, lo que es peor, daño a las relaciones. A diferencia de otros títulos, Negociación, ¿cooperar o competir? aporta una metodología novedosa y práctica para abordar una negociación, basada en la teoría de los sistemas sociales y la comunicación, la que va más allá del conocido ganar-ganar. En esta segunda edición actualizada se han introducido complementos y perfeccionamientos a la metodología que se propone. En concreto, especial importancia tiene el capítulo de preparación estratégica de las negociaciones, clave en una cultura dada a la improvisación como la latinoamericana. También se ha abordado en extenso la confianza, tan golpeada hoy en muchos países, que es la base de una negociación exitosa. Con ejemplos prácticos y un estilo amistoso y directo, Negociación, ¿cooperar o competir? nos enseña todo sobre el desafiante proceso de una negociación, desde su planificación, seguido por las opciones de valor, la legitimidad, el cómo y dónde trazar la línea ética, hasta la manera de generar poder, cerrar una negociación y formalizar un acuerdo que refleje transacciones exitosas. "Los conflictos son mucho más frecuentes de lo que se cree y, afortunadamente, menos dañinos de lo que se teme. Sus causas, efectos, grados de intensidad y violencia son diversos, por lo cual existen variadas estrategias y prácticas para enfrentarlos. Los conflictos son inherentes a todo sistema social y pueden generar mayor valor en la mesa de negociación si son gestionados en forma adecuada. Entender los conflictos y su dinámica es fundamental para alcanzar negociaciones exitosas". Pag 15.

        El Plan de Convivencia del Centro Educativo

        Pautas para su elaboración

        by Pedro Mª Uruñuela

        ¿Cómo puede un centro educativo actualizar su Plan de Convivencia? ¿Qué pasos son necesarios y en qué puntos debe fijarse? ¿Cómo puede trasladar los nuevos planteamientos al Documento de Organización de la Convivencia del propio centro?Tras un breve repaso a lo que es el Plan de Convivencia, su necesidad y objetivos fundamentales, el libro plantea un análisis del trabajo que está llevando a cabo el centro de cara a la convivencia. Y lo hace en torno a cuatro grandes temas.En primer lugar, la situación general, comprobando el grado de acuerdo sobre lo que se entiende por convivencia, el enfoque reactivo o proactivo de la misma y su presencia en los documentos institucionales, y en el día a día del centro. Seanalizan, en segundo lugar, las situaciones de quiebra de la convivencia que se están dando en el centro, desde el maltrato entre iguales hasta la violencia institucional, pasando por las conductas disruptivas y la violencia de género. En tercer lugar, se plantean cuatro actuaciones y trabajos imprescindibles para la convivencia, como son la gestión pacífica de conflictos, el protagonismo del alumnado y las familias, las normas y medidas correctoras, y el desarrollo de la inteligencia interpersonal o competencias necesarias para una convivencia positiva. Por último, se analizan los aspectos organizativos del Plan: las estructuras de apoyo, los tiempos y horarios, la elaboración del Plan y la formación del profesorado para todo ello.Cierra la obra un último capítulo dedicado a la elaboración y concreción del Documento de Organización de la Convivencia del centro, que es el resumen y concreción de todo lo tratado en el libro.Todos los capítulos cuentan con propuestas concretas de trabajo para poder analizar el desarrollo de cada apartado, valorar las alternativas y concretar las acciones que se recogerán en el Plan de Convivencia y en el Documento de Organización del Centro.

        UN TIRO EN EL BRONCE

        Es una historia de recelo y hostilidad de argentinos hacia bolivianos. La acción transcurre a lo largo de un día en El Bronce, un barrio en la ficción sobre la ribera del río donde conviven ambas nacionalidades. Tres jóvenes pendencieros, provocadores, que actúan al margen de la ley, no soportan las diferencias, ven a sus conciudadanos bolivianos, distintos y amparados por una policía corrupta, quieren expulsarlos, pero no será fácil, deben superar una firme resistencia. La jornada de violencia comienza con el robo a un trabajador boliviano, continúa con una pelea en un bar donde vuelan trompadas por el aire, sigue el asalto a un barrio exclusivo y ya cuando el sol se ha puesto en el cielo y bajo un brillo de una luna llena, argentinos y bolivianos, tres por bando, al mejor estilo del Viejo Oeste, se enfrentan en una pelea a puño limpio y, en el fragor de la riña, el disparo de un tiro en la noche desencadena la tragedia.

        Enseñemos 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.

        La violencia de género en los delitos de lesa humanidad en la Argentina

        by Viviana Beigel

        The horrors of state terrorism are countless in our country. The sinister cycle of human rights blackout left unfading marks, but some events paradoxically led to the initial undecidability or negligence of the judges at the beginning of the crimes against humanity trials. This applies to the torture employed in women, about which I commented once that it was not appropriate to say that they suffered more, but that their gender had maximized the employment of torture as the executioners also represented patriarchal authorities. […] This book is part of the unique contributions to understand the meaning of sexual affronts to female prisoners, as well as the path opened by the gendered perspective in the justice administration field […] The author carried out a detailed research on the suffering of a group of female prisoners specially focusing on the Cuyo region, which makes the contribution even more valuable. She committed herself to evidence that the captivity situation increased largely the legitimating authorization to possess those bodies that the torturers believed that belonged to them. As Viviana Beigel assures, this was a systematic plan the key of which lays in the patriarchal dominance that granted, until recently, the safeguard of impunity.

        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.

      • Algo le duele al aire

        Algo le duele al aire

        by Dolores Castro Varela

        Description   In this collection of poems, the author makes a stop on the way to give an account of the wound that bleeds her country through insecurity and violence, a consequence of the "war" against drug trafficking and where the most harmed are the civilian population. "I am very impressed by what is happening; this emotion is manifested in the book in the form of a chorus of voices that awaken before the tragedy, but these voices are not shouts, they do not emerge as a way to confront the barbarism, nor with the intention of blaming, they are only the expression of sadness for the innocent people who live this nefarious moment", Dolores Castro is one of the most important living poets of our country, belonging to the generation of poets of the so-called "Group of eight" composed by Efrén Hernández, Rosario Castellanos and Javier Peñalosa among others; it is well worth spreading the reading of this poet among the new generations who want to dedicate themselves to writing or who enjoy the pleasure of reading and poetry.   Sinopsis   En este poemario la autora hace un alto en el camino para dar cuenta de la herida que desangra a su país a través de la inseguridad y la violencia, consecuencia de la “guerra” contra el narcotráfico y donde los más perjudicados son la población civil.   “Estoy muy impresionada por lo que ocurre; esta emoción se manifiesta en el libro en la forma de un coro de voces que despiertan ante la tragedia, pero estas voces no son gritos, no emergen como una forma de enfrentar la barbarie, ni con la intención de culpar, son sólo la expresión de la tristeza por las personas inocentes que viven este momento nefasto”,    Siendo Dolores Castro una de las poetas vivas más importantes de nuestro país, perteneciente a la generación de poetas del llamado “Grupo de los ocho” compuesto por Efrén Hernández, Rosario Castellanos y Javier Peñalosa entre otros; bien vale la pena difundir la lectura de esta poeta entre las nuevas generaciones que quieren dedicarse a la escritura o que gozan el placer por la lectura y la poesía.
