        Figuras recortadas por otra luz. José Pedro Godoy

        by Juan José Richards

        Figuras recortadas por otra luz, exhibits his emerging and productive career.It comprises a journey through the diverse period of Godoy’s work, and places on perspective his obsessions, as the development of a proposal that has maintained a defined and persistent line, transforming him into one of the few Chilean artists that breaches the subject of homosexuality in such a non-judgmental and direct manner. A constant reference to flashy elements extracted from nature, mass culture and human bodies, has been his language of expression, through irony or the contrast between violent and disturbing images.

        Houses and Graves

        by Bernardo Atxaga

        «If we could flip over names in print as with stones in an orchard and see the life hidden beneath, we would discover that no two beings are the same.» In a bakery in the Basque village of Ugarte, a boy who one day returned from boarding school in the south of France having lost his ability to speak, recovered his speech thanks to a friendship with twin boys and to something strange which the three discovered in the waters of the canal which ran down from the mountains. The Franco dictatorship is nearing its final days. Everything is changing in Ugarte and also in the El Pardo barracks where, just then, Eliseo, Donato, Celso and Caloco are trying to train a magpie and flout the rules which reserve hunting for the rich and powerful. Theirs was also a tale of friendship, with the right amount of thoughtlessness, rebelliousness and tragedy. Years later, strikes whipped up by the unions shook the mining industry in Ugarte. This is now the turbulent eighties and Eliseo and the twins find themselves caught up in a plot for vengeance hatched by the engineer Antoine and which seems straight out of a crime novel. Time passes quickly and everything that was changes: music, television with its reality, electronic mail, all arrive while the interior lives of the protagonists of this story retain intact their silences, secrets, threats… It’s only life, which runs like threads of water between stones. But it goes on. With this exciting novel, grounded in friendship, love for nature, and the imminence of death, Atxaga again shows himself a master in the creation of unforgettable settings and characters.

        Liderazgo centrado en la persona

        La propuesta de Carlos Llano

        by Murcio Rodríguez, Ricardo

        La tarea de dirigir tiene un lugar preponderante en la empresa. Carlos Llano fue pionero en el estudio de la acción directiva, en un contexto que ya buscaba una renovación en las teorías del management. Para Llano, la dirección de empresas –y, por lo tanto, de las personas que en ellas laboran– no puede reducirse a un sistema, sino que debe respetar la naturaleza física, espiritual, racional y libre de todo ser humano. Con robustas bases antropológicas, Llano plantea un nuevo modelo de gestión basado en la flexibilidad y la participación, que hace de la empresa un lugar de desarrollo de la persona que contribuye a la construcción de una mejor sociedad. Llano vislumbró que este nuevo paradigma requiere un nuevo estilo de liderazgo, uno que –centrado en la persona– concibe la dirección como un servicio. Este libro rastrea los fundamentos teóricos de su propuesta. Carlos Llano ha sido el pensador que mejor ha sabido integrar filosofía y management. A través de los conceptos perennes de la filosofía, nos ofreció una perspectiva única y genuina de la dirección de empresas. En este libro, Ricardo Murcio nos desmenuza el pensamiento de su profesor y maestro, y nos vuelve a recordar que el centro de la actividad empresarial y de la toma de decisiones deben ser las personas (Joan Fontrodona, IESE Business School).

        What the shadows reveal

        by Iñaki Martinez

        Havana has never been so fascinating…Nor so dangerous. An intrigue with the flavor of classic spy novels. A kaleidoscope of characters who are moved by interests that are not always lawful. "What the shadows reveal" portrays a city in which power relations are in a fragile balance. In 1953 Stanley Mortimer, a CIA analyst is torn between life and death in a hospital while his boss tries to find out who shot him. Time is running out, the assassin can try again and in the shadows the dictator Batista, the New York mobsters installed in Havana and the opposition rebels play their cards. In Stanley's inner circle, a couple who shared days of complicity and danger years ago in Tangier meet again. The love between the ex-priest Martín Ugarte and the famous writer Joan Alison, scriptwriter for Casablanca, which seemed to have died out, ignites the spark again. The author recovers the charm and nostalgia of a city and the icons of an era: from the colorful convertibles to the romantic sunsets on the Malecón. Dances, casinos, and sophisticated cocktails; elegant men who conceal pistols under their well-cut suits and seductive women who may use their charm to observe and spy. But, above all, "What the Shadows reveal" is the story of a deep friendship and a passion that transcends time and the disagreements between its protagonists.  Can Stanley survive the web that has been woven around him? How many rules are you willing to break to get your lost love or life back? Maybe you are not so different from the protagonists of this story…

        Desde la universidad a la sociedad

        Selección de escritos / 2010 - 2015

        by Ignacio Sánchez D.

        La educación es prioritaria en el desarrollo de los habitantes de una nación. Es el factor que nos permite avanzar en igualdad y equidad. Por eso, el rector de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Ignacio Sánchez, ha querido dejar un testimonio de la mirada desde la UC a uno de los procesos más importantes de los últimos 40 años, como es la Reforma a la Educación Superior en nuestro país. Esta publicación reúne una selección de diferentes escritos realizados en la contingencia y en muchos momentos de tensión e incertidumbre vividos durante este primer período de su rectorado. Son opiniones, planteamientos y reflexiones vertidos en artículos, discursos, correos electrónicos y otros documentos, que aportan información significativa al momento de hacer un análisis histórico sobre estos cambios. Si bien estos escritos expresan una visión particular desde la rectoría de la UC de los hechos tanto internos como externos a la comunidad universitaria, este libro es también una invitación a compartir distintas visiones sobre la educación superior para que, en conjunto, podamos relatar una historia más amplia y diversa que sea un aporte al progreso de nuestro país.

        Ética aplicada

        Desde la medicina hasta el humor

        by Mauricio Correa Casanova y Adela Cortina

        Resulta indesmentible que hoy la realidad social exige a la filosofía moral comprometerse con la vida cotidiana. La ética aplicada configura una forma nueva de saber, de reflexionar sobre los problemas morales y de proponer recomendaciones para la acción. Empresas, servicios públicos, colegios profesionales o entidades sin fines de lucro, entre muchos otros, han incorporado los nuevos modos éticos de saber y hacer, y universidades de todo el mundo abordan este tema a través de cátedras, programas y centros de investigación. Este libro reúne una serie de trabajos sobre distintos ámbitos de la ética aplicada, como la ecología, la biomedicina, la empresa o la economía, que el lector común seguramente ya reconoce. Otros, en cambio, se presentan aquí con toda su novedad para situarnos ante desafíos inéditos en campos como la neuroética, el deporte, la ciudad y el humor. El principal objetivo es ofrecer a jóvenes y adultos, alumnos o profesores, funcionarios públicos o del mundo privado, perspectivas éticas en los más diversos ámbitos de la sociedad que contribuyan a encarnar la moralidad en la vida diaria, que es sin duda el real sentido de la ética aplicada. "La tarea de la razón práctica no consiste solo en enunciar lo que se debe hacer, sino también en tomar carne en las instituciones, transformándolas desde dentro. De ahí que la ética aplicada sea un elemento ineludible de cualquier diseño institucional que desee funcionar con bien, incluso lo es de cualquier proyecto de investigación que quiera recibir el visto bueno".
