Children's & YASiete cuervos y ocho cuentos (Seven crows and eight tales)
by Jairo Buitrago, Juan Camilo Mayorga
Seven Crows & Eight Stories gathers together, as its title says, eight stories in which children are protagonists: intelligent children; some mischievous, some rogue, some disobedient; and if there is a common characteristic, it is all naivety. Buitrago has the virtue of understanding very well the world of children and of speaking to them equally. The fears, the joys of children, are well known by the author and proof of this are his texts, where he depicts a very original representation of childhood and reality. These stories about everyday life are very humorous and will make more than one reader finish with a smile. The illustrations of Mayorga, of free stroke and, therefore, very expressive, show us the different scenarios and characters that make up that universe created by Buitrago.

April 2019El baile de San Pascual
by Vieco, Camilo
El Baile de San Pascual is award-winning author Camilo Vieco's first YA Graphic Novel. It is a fantasy epic story set in the Páramos, an endangered enviromnent in Colombia. In times of scarcity, the community that lives around the páramo of Ocetá organizes a party to ask San Pascual for help. But beware of abusing their generosity because the cost can be very high! With this graphic adventure novel, the cartoonist Camilo Vieco inaugurates a world of characters and landscapes inspired by peasant life and the Colombian páramos. Cohete Cómics presents Camilo Vieco's first graphic novel as a complete author. This project was developed at the ÉESI in Anguleme while its author was finishing a master's degree in Sequential Art. El baile de San Pascual is an adventure graphic novel inspired by the life of the peasants and the Colombian páramos. Camilo Vieco starts from the syncretism that occurred in Boyacá during the 16th century between the figure of the saint San Pascual Bailón and the Chibcha god Memcatacaquien to create a story about the relationship between human ambition and the laws of nature. This is the story of an irresponsible man who abuses the generosity of the moor, and of Agustina and Ignacio, two brothers who are forced to resolve the chaos caused by their father. In the process, they learn to take care of themselves and encounter fantastic creatures hidden in the heart of the páramo of Ocetá.

FictionThe Love of Singular Men
by Victor Heringer
During a hot Brazilian summer, Camilo meets Cosme, and the two discover a new kind of tenderness. Something changes the course of events, and the darkness of that summer will impact Camilo’s life forever. In the heat of one of the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro, Camilo grows up amidst football matches, conversations about macumba and whispers about his father’s past. As a teenager, his family members become the legal guardians of an unknown boy who is godfathered by his dad, a doctor in the 1970s. Camilo doesn’t like him at first, but he then starts to get close to him. The foster kid tragically dies during an assault soon after he had moved in with Camilo’s family. As Camilo gets older, his past haunts him daily, dictating the course of his life. The story, apparently simple, is developed with a Machadian like grandeur by Victor Heringer. Through a fluent and malleable prose, combined with a derisive vision of life, the author demonstrates full mastery in the construction of scenes and characters, all the while touching the reader with his delicate and tender perception of reality.

July 2017SOMEONE ELSE’S HEAD
by Andrés Cota Hiriart
Cabeza Ajena, by Andrés Cota Hiriart, is imposed as an adventure novel and a scientific story. It is also the story of an unavoidable attraction and of an intimate and, at the same time, revealing journey. Someone Else's Head is the proof that, as George Steiner thought, human beings relate and define themselves in their inevitable desire to know or to learn in any circunstances. A group of friends experiment, by consuming various substances along a journey, in which curiosity and knowledge strengthen the relationships and friendship between Camilo, Boris, Genaro and Valenzuela. The appearance of a red-haired woman, the gentle paramedic, Nina, is also the sexual and love trigger that will take Camilo towards a deep examination of himself. Nina will join the group and her presence will be decisive in the vision that the friends have of the physical and psychological experience in the space of the altered regions. An unexpected and unusual ending also makes the reading of this novel to be a scientific reflection and a literary enigma.

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.

Caminos condenados
by Guerra, Pablo; Díaz, Henry; Aguirre, Camilo; Ojeda, Diana
Condemned Ways is a graphic novel that portrays the phenomenon of daily dispossession in Montes de Maria. After the violence and forced displacement that dominated this region for 20 years, its inhabitants now face new forms of exclusion that continue to threaten their permanence in the area. Through conversations and fictionalised tours, the reader will be able to understand not only the problems faced by its protagonists, but also get an idea of the challenges of the post-conflict in the Colombian countryside. This book was created from field research carried out by geographer Diana Ojeda and the Center for Studies in Political Ecology, and is a first approach to establishing a dialogue between the social sciences and graphic narrative in Colombia.

Volume VII: The Human Mental Machinery
by Camilo J. Cela-Conde, Raul Gutierrez Lombardo, John C. Avise, and Framcosco J. Ayala, Editors; Arthur M. Sackler Colloquia of the National Academy of Sciences; National Academy of Sciences
Humans possess certain unique mental traits. Self-reflection, as well as ethic and aesthetic values, is among them, constituting an essential part of what we call the human condition. The human mental machinery led our species to have a self-awareness but, at the same time, a sense of justice, willing to punish unfair actions even if the consequences of such outrages harm our own interests. Also, we appreciate searching for novelties, listening to music, viewing beautiful pictures, or living in well-designed houses. But why is this so? What is the meaning of our tendency, among other particularities, to defend and share values, to evaluate the rectitude of our actions and the beauty of our surroundings? What brain mechanisms correlate with the human capacity to maintain inner speech, or to carry out judgments of value? To what extent are they different from other primates' equivalent behaviors? In the Light of Evolution Volume VII aims to survey what has been learned about the human "mental machinery." This book is a collection of colloquium papers from the Arthur M. Sackler Colloquium "The Human Mental Machinery," which was sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences on January 11-12, 2013. The colloquium brought together leading scientists who have worked on brain and mental traits. Their 16 contributions focus the objective of better understanding human brain processes, their evolution, and their eventual shared mechanisms with other animals. The articles are grouped into three primary sections: current study of the mind-brain relationships; the primate evolutionary continuity; and the human difference: from ethics to aesthetics. This book offers fresh perspectives coming from interdisciplinary approaches that open new research fields and constitute the state of the art in some important aspects of the mind-brain relationships.

July 2019Desplazamientos-Beatriz González
by Francisco Javier Gil, Elkin Rubiano, María Alejandra Fajardo.
La presente exposición y los textos que la acompañan proceden de un proyecto de investigación-creación desarrollado por Mariana Dicker, María Alejandra Fajardo, Elkin Rubiano y Javier Gil. Esta exploración pretende pensar las relaciones entre creación artística y memoria a partir de la producción artística de Beatriz González de los últimos 20 años. Consideramos que las imágenes toman posición frente a lo real; no representan lo dado o lo sucedido, sino que lo crean y dimensionan desde sus particulares modos de pensar. Tampoco aspiran a explicaciones totalizantes; significan a través de momentos, fragmentos, detalles y relaciones inéditas. Lo visual toca lo real sin aspirar a verdades absolutas y cerradas, pero desde sus singularidades expresivas renueva la percepción y la comprensión del mundo. En ese contexto, consideramos que el trabajo de Beatriz González construye memoria, asumiendo que esta no se refiere a dar cuenta de hechos objetivos ocurridos en el pasado, sino como una construcción simbólica, un trabajo, una nueva dimensión de sentido vinculada a la creación artística. Sus obras confirman las posibilidades que tienen el arte de participar en la generación de otras historias, de hacer hablar el pasado de otro modo, de expresar lo inexpresado por la historia oficial.

90 partidos. 90 autores. 90 relatos
by David García Cames, Miguel Ángel Ortiz and Marcel Beltran
Football breaks down all doors, including those of literature. Contrary to popular belief, there are many writers who at some point were attracted by the mystery of the goal or the fervor of the stands. The ball sneaks into the work and life of authors who have built bridges between these two apparently dissociated worlds. From Marguerite Duras to Eduardo Galeano, passing through Albert Camus, Roberto Bolaño, Svetlana Aleksiévich or Federico García Lorca. This book is 90 games that were played one day. This book is made up of 90 stories, halfway between the chronicle and the tale, with which tribute is paid to 90 extraordinary creators who have influenced our way of understanding football.
