Family & home stories (Children's/YA)October 2017Mexique
El nombre del barco
by María José Ferrada, Ana Penyas
On May of 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, 456 sons and daughters of republican fighters took the transatlantic boat Mexique, that set sail in Bordeau to arrive in Mexico. Previsions were that they would stay there three or four months, but the Republican defeat and the beginning of the Second World War changed that brief exile into a definitive one. This books tells the story not only of those children, but also about the ship, being aware that we do not know how many boats try to cross our oceans every day, moving human beings that have full rights to a proper way of living and not to stand over a land that tears apart below their feet.

Literary FictionAugust 2019The Mirror’s Crypt
by Marcela del Río
Marcela del Río was a cultural attaché during the 70s in Prague. From that experience she wrote a magnificent novel about the decay of a Mexican family, a political system and a country lacerated by October 2 massacre. While the male character (an ambassador and pater familias) suffers the injustices of a decadent political system, the peripheral voices that surround him (his wife, his domestic employee, his rebel son) will question and try to transform the hegemonic structures that oppress them.

FictionRequiem for the Roses
by Alejandra Ángeles
Five young women - Alicia, Paula, Alondra, Constanza, and Marcela, are all cello students at the National Music Conservatory. They will run into a profesor who is obssessed with roses and young women, as much as he is obsessed with Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, which becomes the central leitmotif of Requien for the Roses, and the only common denominator between the women. Their five voices, and the voice of the professor, tell the story in a rhythm that closely follows Vivaldi’s score: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter are each one divided into three movements. The story follows the music. The novel is centered on the disappearance of three of the women – Alicia, Paula, and Alondra. Each one of them is a season: Alicia is Spring, Paula is Summer, and Alondra is Fall. Constanza, who is Winter, may or may not suffer the same destiny as their three predecessors. It may be up to her, or it may be up to the reader. While the destinies of Alicia, Paula, and Alondra has already been determined by their captor, and that of Constanza is up for grabs, Marcela, the fifth woman, search for answers as Alicia was her best friend. She immediately sets her eyes on the cello professor and his strange hobbies and habits.

Comic book & cartoon art2013Maliki's Illuminated Diary
by Marcela Trujillo (Maliki)
Opening this diary is like sitting comfortably in a friend's living room to talk about each other sorrows and get rid of all shame. It's like drinking a glass of wine, laughing heartily at the most absurd stories, gossips and misfortunes, and lastly end up sharing dreams in order to change the world... Maliki knows how to immerse us into her world with her drawings, but most importantly, she manages to connect with the fiber of humanity that makes us the perfect characters for any comic book. Maliki doesn't mince her words. She portraits with powerful drawings her daily life, her love and hate, her fears and dark side, where we probably all feel identified.

Life is elsewhere
by Farías, Alejandro / Vergara, Marcos
This book is an intervention to Antonio Di Benedetto’s novel Lossuicidas (The suicides).The novel is a starting point to tell the suicides, in a two-yearperiod, of three of the greatest wrtiters of their time in Argentina:Alfonsina Storni, Leopoldo Lugones and Horacio Quiroga.The protagonist starts a thesis about suicides, and uses the caseof this three authors.

Devenir Isla
Hacia una cartografía de poetas cubanas & chilenas
by Varias autoras - Selección de Gonzalo Geraldo
Esta selección de autoras no busca representar toda una época o generación, más bien aunar pensamientos, inquietudes; mujeres (como testigos) que a través de la palabra transmutan en dadoras de vida y saberes, erigiendo metáforas, significados; voces que se entrelazan hasta conformar este paraje poético que acoge y salva — como una isla—, para dar testimonio de la pujanza lírica femenina. Los nombres congregados entre estas páginas constituyen un coro unánime, mediante el cual puede advertirse una asimilación de la sociedad, la cultura, de un momento en el tiempo que les ha tocado vivir; experiencias que ahora trascienden en el verso convirtiéndose en puente, lazo entre dos naciones que —a sabiendas de su responsabilidad— han decidido dejar una impronta como certeza de que la poesía sí sirve de algo. Autoras de la antología: Laura Domingo Agüero, Jamila Medina Ríos, Yessica Arteaga Ibal, Yosie Crespo, Elaine Vilar Madruga, Yanelys Encinosa Cabrera, Ketty Blanco, Elizabeth Reinosa Aliaga, Jessica Pérez Quesada, Zurisaday Gómez Torres, Iris Kiya, Francisca Pérez Morales, María Paz Valdebenito González, Daniela Catrileo, Ashle Ozuljevic Subaique, Roxana Miranda Rupailaf, Gladys González, Mariela Malhue, Marcela Parra, Mara Rita Villaroel.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2019Nosotros, 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.

The ArtsSeptember 2019SHEILA HICKS. Reencounter
by Carolina Arévalo, Monique Lévi-Strauss, Soledad Hoces de la Guardia, Michel Gauthier
Reencounter, is the publication of the exhibition presented at the Museo de Arte Precolombino held from August 2019 to January 2020 in Santiago, Chile. The book presents the artist's work that dialogues with contemporary art and the legacy of american indigenous art. As a student of Josef Albers and with an artistic formation based on Bauhaus philosophy, in 1975 Sheila Hicks set out on a trip through South America, from Venezuela to Tierra del Fuego, a fundamental experience in her formation. It was in that journey through the Andes where she learned about textile techniques and ancestral cosmovisions that would change her life and where, inspired by the landscape and architecture of the south of America, she began her own textile artwork.
