      Nosotros, Colombia… Comunicación, paz y (pos)conflicto

      by Sergio Roncallo-Dow, Juan David Cárdenas Ruiz, Juan Carlos Gómez Giraldo

      Peace seems to have been elusive in Colombian history. The ups and downs in the negotiation processes, the unfulfilled promises, and the political polarization have made Colombia a nation in a state of continuous crisis and that, in spite of itself - to take up the old Bushnell phrase - has managed to stay afloat and, above all, do not lose hope for a stable and lasting peace. There have been numerous attempts to build it and they seem to have been unsuccessful, especially because a good part of the collective representation that we have of them has been built from the media apparatus that, in the case of our country, has been at the service of power and that it has resulted in skepticism that, especially since the 1990s, has tended to transform into a strong polarization. With this book, we want not only to think about peace and (post) conflict from communication but to remind (us), once again, that we can still be we.

      Cara o Sello

      by Mario Salazar Montero

      Kurzinformation ISBN 978-3-9525331-3-0 Titel “Cara o Sello”. Mario Salazar Montero. Cuentos Cualquiera que sea la forma permitida, obligada o seleccionada por hombres y mujeres como el recurso personal válido disponible para dejar atrás el estigma de una pobreza, heredada o impuesta, esta implica una interacción con una realidad en tiempo presente. En esa realidad suramericana, con sus circunstancias inherentes, existe sin embargo una gama bien diversa, tanto de víctimas como de abusadores. El afán de algunos por equilibrar un déficit de bienestar económico recurriendo al crimen no siempre encuentra la mansedumbre de los abusados. Existe la ley tácita del desquite, a falta de una justicia que merezca su nombre. Estos cuentos intentan desentrañar la esencia de algunos desquites y despojos, sin ánimo de definir estereotipos. De eso ya hay bastante, es difícil quitarselos de encima y no sirven más. Mario Salazar Montero. Geboren in Kolumbien, Südamerika. Lebt seit vielen Jahren in der Schweiz. Schriftsteller und Ingenieur. Hat mehrere Romane und Kurzgeschichten veröffentlicht. Spanisch und Deutsch. Mehr zum Autor und seinem literarischen Werk unter www.mariosalazar.ch

      Rocanrol

      by Marcial Gala

      En uno de sus mejores poemas, Borges refiere que el lenguaje es tiempo sucesivo y emblema. Rocanrol trata de ese tiempo condensado que es el de la revolución, casi un agujero negro donde el cielo es tomado por asalto. Los personajes inmersos en la vorágine de la Cuba de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, sienten que la historia es una piel que se sobrepone a la propia epidermis. ¿El rock será un medio eficaz para no perder la propia esencia? ¿Cómo encontrarse a sí mismo? La muerte de un soldado en pleno entrenamiento, cartas del Che que salvan a una joven de volver a la prisión, un discurso de despedida de Fidel Castro comunicando el final del guerrillero argentino en Bolivia Rocanrol cuenta también el discurrir de los que no son nadie, empujados por los vientos de cambio. El rock es a la vez iniciación y promesa de un paraíso ilusorio que te hace creer que todo transcurre al ritmo de esa música prohibida y deseada. En un mundo loco solo los locos están cuerdos, dijo cierto artista japonés, y esa frase podría servirle de emblema a estos personajes que se atreven a decir no, cuando todos dicen sí. Alejandro, Ismael, Crazy Horse y el resto de esas dos familias cubanas, construyen su propio relato dentro del relato inmenso de la historia. In one of his best poems, Borges refers that language is successive time and emblem. Rocanrol is about that condensed time that is the revolution, almost a black hole where the sky is taken by storm. The characters immersed in the vortex of Cuba in the second half of the 20th century, they feel that history is a skin that overlaps the epidermis itself. Will rock be an effective way not to lose one's essence? How to find yourself? The death of a soldier in training, letters from Che saving a young woman from returning to prison, a farewell speech by Fidel Castro communicating the end of the Argentine guerrilla in Bolivia Rocanrol also tells of the passage of those who are nobody, driven by the winds of change. Rock is both initiation and promise of an illusory paradise that makes you believe that everything happens to the rhythm of that forbidden and desired music. In a crazy world, only crazy people are sane, said a certain Japanese artist, and that phrase could serve as an emblem for these characters who dare to say no, when everyone says yes. Alejandro, Ismael, Crazy Horse and the rest of those two Cuban families, build their own story within the immense account of history.

      LOS CANES DE SHAAR HAGAI

      by Myrna Shiboleth

      LOS CANES DE SHAAR HAGAI En Los canes de Shaar Hagai, Myrna Shiboleth nos lleva de la mano en un extraordinario periplo, al emigrar de Estados Unidos, al ser pionera en Israel, al vivir y viajar en África y Europa y al establecer la fascinante raza canina conocida ahora en todo el mundo como perros de Canaán de Israel. En episodios a la vez hilarantes y conmovedores, nos unimos a ella mientras lucha por establecer un hogar en un refugio de hormigón —acribillado por las balas y abandonado por las autoridades— y por crearse una vida que comparte con familiares, amigos y una variedad de mascotas de pelo y plumas. Ella comparte sus relatos, desde los perros salvajes del desierto, Baba la hiena criada por cuidadores, Ricky el curiosísimo mapache, Shusha el zorro y hasta Um Fathi, la bruja del poblado árabe local, a través de los cuales permite aprehender la esencia de la lucha y la fortaleza. Cada uno de estos increíbles personajes nos enseña algo acerca de lo que significa ser humano. Myrna Shiboleth es conductista de animales, criadora de perros campeona mundial y juez en exposiciones caninas y es reconocida como una autoridad en todo lo que concierne a los perros de Canaán, una de las pocas razas de perros salvajes que quedan, en cuya introducción en Estados Unidos y en otros países cumplió un papel esencial. La autora vive entre los perros que cría en su pintoresca granja en Shaar Hagai, que se puede encontrar en unas alturas en el camino a Jerusalén, o en la página web en 20×13 cm, 518 páginas, edición en tapa blanda, numerosas ilustraciones en blanco y negro. por Myrna Shibolethwww.canaandogs.info.

    • EL CAMPO DE FRAU GRUBER

      EL CAMPO DE FRAU GRUBER

      by Ted Barr

      EL CAMPO DE FRAU GRUBER El manifiesto de las cenizas del gallo, de Ted Barr ?Cuáles son los límites del mal? ?Qué significado tiene la vida, a un paso de una muerte súbita arbitraria? ?Vale la pena vivir detrás de una cerca eléctrica? El Campo de Frau Gruber es una alegoría apasionante acerca de la fe humana en sus momentos más oscuros, que recuerda mucho la obra maestra de George Orwell, Rebelión en la granja.Un mundo que sostiene a gente como Frau Gruber, Herr Schickl y sus insanos asociados no es el mundo en el que vivimos. Aunque en muchos aspectos parece ser similar, es más bien un universo paralelo, desconectado de la realidad que conocemos.No obstante, a veces el lector puede no prestar atención a las diferencias. En esta novela sorprendente y enigmática, el lector se ve sutil y lentamente sumergido en un microcosmos imaginario, un mundo fantástico a la vez poético y terrible, a veces conmovedor y otras horrendo, en el que la vida no es más que una mercancía sin valor.Los gallos como seres humanos son solo actores momentáneos en una obra mucho más grande, o sea demasiado miopes para entender —con la excepción del viejo gallo Ba Ba Lup, que, como los antiguos profetas, tiene ojos para ver pero no tiene el poder para cambiar.La única manera de otorgar un significado a tiempos tan terribles es guardarlo todo en la memoria, que es el marco en el que esta novela se basa:la fe humana, el olvido, el recuerdo y la esencia de la vida durante una época imposible. A pesar de partir de una descripción mayormente improvisada de la infancia de Adolf Hitler, el Campo de Frau Gruber no se limita a relatar una historia en muchos sentidos paralela a la historia de los judíos en Europa. Antes bien, evoluciona hasta transformarse en una fábula sobre el aspecto general de la experiencia humana en el siglo XX, escrita a través de los ojos de un espectador del siglo XXI, como un acto de bravura contemporáneo. El autor, Ted Barr, de 54 años, posee una maestría en Economía y tiene diversas áreas de interés, entre otras, historia alemana, simbolismo, tácticas de batallón y de división y astronomía.Barr es un afamado artista, que se especializa en galaxias y otros elementos celestiales.El autor ha desarrollado una técnica de pintura única, que enseña en talleres en todo el mundo.También es el fundador del Current Art Group y en el sitio de arte www.tedpaintings.com se puede ver el fruto de su actividad artística. En 2006 se publicó por vez primera en Israel una versión hebrea de El Campo deFrau Gruber, tras la primera obra de Barr, Krombee, un libro para niños publicado en 1990.

      Anthropology of Christian Vocation

      From Person to Person

      by Juan Manuel Cabiedas

      The question regarding how to guide one’s own life is among the most pressing and serious questions. Both in its sacred understanding, as referring to a trascendent call, and in its lay conception, that connects the feeling of happiness to one’s self-fulfillment, the word vocation expresses the right way that a person follows to succesfully lead his or her own life. This may be the reason why, when talking about vocation, the word echoes all the elements that make up the identity of the human being: corporeity and spirituality, intelligence and sensitivity, conscience and freedom, personal biography and collective history. Without vocation, the personal being is doomed to treat oneself and to be treated with indifference.

      Reificación mediática

      by German Duarte

      En los años 60 del siglo pasado, las posiciones existencialistas y fenomenológicas plantearon un problema importante y controvertido, que produjo divisiones en el seno del mismísimo campo del pensamiento marxista. ¿Está el efecto de reificación sujeto inextricablemente al modo de producción capitalista? ¿Está por ello destinado a desaparecer con la liberación de la esfera social del dominio del capital, o bien tenemos que pensar que el carácter de reificación es más profundo que el mismo capitalismo y que está arraigado en la dimensión antropológica fundacional, anterior a la relación capitalista social ?.

      Newspaperbirds of march 2011

      by Amaranta Caballero Prado

      Este libro está lleno de poemas que desmontan, sabotean, vuelven a armar las cosas de otro modo y hacen algunas más con las piezas sobrantes. Los “contextos” donde asoman las aves por las páginas de los diarios, volviendo gorupos las palabras, son mucho más, me parece, que una ilustración; o más bien lo son en sentido profundo: la escenificación del modus operandi de esos pájaros de cuenta que asoman por detrás de las ventanas del crucigrama. Yo, que le temo a todos los animales, luego de este libro me siento como el Espantapájaros del Mago de Oz: tengo los alfileres que llamaré “cerebro”. Ángel Ortuño

      Cuentos XMAS

      by Seb Doubinsky, Matilda Braxton-Bali, Martín Lombardo, Marina López Planella, Ángel Loureiro, Ana Jaka, Rafael Sáenz de Cabezón

      How to read XMAS in Spanish? X more? Ksmas? Chmas? And what do we understand when we actually read it? XMAS Stories groups seven Christmas-themed stories with X themes: an unknown, a prohibition, something with pornographic content, an indeterminacy, a substitution, a Roman numeral ... All those "X" themes in a "mas" "más" version. Some of the inhabitants of this space are: an individual who flees from the cold in search of healing human warmth; a sixty-year-old in love with the Magi; a friar who finds peace lecturing a community of settlers and indigenous people; an “it” girl housewife on the boil before her Christmas party preparations; a Santa Claus by accident, the protagonist of an untraditional tale; a young woman thirsty for a good love story; and a resident of the Big Apple hungry for Christmas revenge. The characters and voices in these stories, framed in a festive and celebratory atmosphere, and sheltered by everything that Christmas supposedly entails, propose heterodox realities as the only way to a new birth.

      Cuentos 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.

      THE CHILEAN FOREST

      by Written by: Pablo Neruda /Illustrations: Antonia Lara /Original script and editing: Juan Francisco Bascuñán

      “Whoever does not know the Chilean forest, does not know this planet”. This profound and radical message by Neruda regards the wonderful forests of southern Chile, home to countless living beings: some who come out to meet those who enter it, others that always remain hidden. “A rotten log: what a treasure!”: the poet finds the point where life and death are one, the forest soil, where the cyclical becomes a reality, what dies will return in time to be part of the living again. “It is a vertical world: a nation of birds, a crowd of leaves”. Neruda does not say directly that we have to take care of the forests, but he helps us to know them, to discover them, to love them. And in this path what naturally follows is to protect them... This text is part of the memories of Neruda, I confess I have lived (Memoirs).

      La tercera máscara

      by Care Santos

      This harsh realist novel is a fiction masterfully created by the writer Care Santos, but it might not be. It could well be a journalistic investigation about a true event, one of those newspaper articles that shocks consciences and makes us ask how something like this has happened? How could someone so young commit such an atrocity? Some people may believe that there are things that it is better not to go deep into, that it is better to turn a blind eye. But if we do so then, how can we prevent it from happening again?

      Kant and His Heirs

      An Introduction to the History of Western Philosophy

      by Miguel García-Baró

      Each generation has the obligation to tell the history of philosophy. It is not only a moral responsibility toward the past, but also a commitment to the future. By stressing some authors and some ideas over others, in the end we are pointing to the certitudes that uphold and justify the way we see reality and act upon it. After the first volume, centered on ancient and medieval philosophy, and the second one, consecrated to the Modern Era, this original history of thought concludes with the volume dealing with the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Kant and his philosophy mark the beginning of a new stage that extends to our own time. Different trends have appeared during this stage: idealism, pragmatism, existentialism, phenomenology, analytical philosophy or hermeneutics… and they have shaped today’s reflection.
