Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2020A SHIFT IN CAPITALISM
NEW SOCIAL ARCHITECTURES
by Ladislau Dowbor
In this book, Ladislau Dowbor analyzes a set of changes in capitalism that suggests we are in transition to another system of production, leaving behind the so-called industrial era and developing something new, which the author calls the Age of Knowledge. However, new does not necessarily mean better: we may be living in a more connected and collaborative society, but old problems – such as environmental, social and economic ones – that are getting worse every day, in addition to individualized control over populations, through algorithms and artificial intelligence, weigh on the future of humanity. It is up to us to foresee the directions that this brave – or horrid – new world will take.

November 2007Herencia de milagros
by Mario Salazar Montero
Kurzinformation ISBN 978-3-9525331-2-3 Titel “Herencia de milagros”. Mario Salazar Montero. Novela Un anhelo de descendencia termina por enfrentar dos hombres y sus respectivos territorios geográficos. Para C. Abarca, un mulato suramericano que aterriza en Suiza con el propósito de cumplir su parte como macho reproductor estipulada en un contrato, esa descendencia futura, sus genes trasteando un apellido y una nacionalidad ajenos, contribuirá sin él poderlo impedir a perpetuar la desigualdad que le permitió a otro negociar aventajado su simiente. Para F. Spinelli, descartada por enfermedad su capacidad de reproducirse, el resultado esperado, un ser humano, planeado como un recurso hábil y negociable para salvar su matrimonio, esa misma descendencia representa incluso antes de concretarse una hormiga miserable y aventajada con una tendencia congénita al abuso, un subdesarrollado irresponsable sin redención posible. Para Adela, la futura madre, el anhelo legítimo de tener una descendencia es el detonador de una fantasía que la lleva a revivir su primer amor, C. Abarca, en su país de orígen, a enquistarlo adrede en la mente de su marido enfermo como el único semental permitido, a convencerlo de traerlo a Suiza como una compensación a otro tipo de abuso con ella como víctima. Sin embargo, al momento de horizontalizar el negocio, ella ya no es más la mujer linda y joven, su marido resulta siendo un suizo falsificado y el macho reproductor ya no reproduce. C. Abarca anda atareado sumando milagros y amuletos para dejar tras él una Herencia de milagros. 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

Society and culture in Dalcidio Jurandir
by Willi Bolle
This book presents an overview of Amazonian history and analyzes the novel Cycle of the Far North, by Dalcidio Jurandir, a work that represents the social inequality and exclusion inherent to Amazonian society. Willi Bolle rescues the work of this important, albeit unknown, author, emphasizing Dalcidio Jurandir’s contribution to our understanding of Amazonian culture. In his work, Jurandir describes the quotidian of those living in the periphery of society, and advocates, quite emphatically, quality education for the poor. He also registers the social dialect of the inhabitants of the Amazon, in a document of the cultural memory of the region.

Humanities & Social SciencesSeptember 2019MUTATIONS: DISSONANCES OF PROGRESS
by Adauto Novates (editor)
The eleventh book in the series Mutations, Dissonances of progress discusses how the progress of technology brought undeniable benefits to humanity – such as advances in medicine and communication –, improving our daily life. On the other hand, it brought speed and superficiality to the relations of the human being with its surroundings, and degraded several aspects of current life with the exacerbation of individualism, the substitution of moral values, the overestimation of religious beliefs, the economy as the utmost referential of life in common, the knowledge of specialists to the detriment of thinkers. The essays in this volume analyze this situation and indicate paths for reflection.

June 2015Universidad y conflictividad social
Aportes desde la enseñanza del derecho
by Leonardo Pitlevnik (comp.)
Raises Michael Burawoy: "We have to rethink the meaning of the public university. The issue is not only who has access to the university, or how much it costs, but rather what responsibility does he assume before society, what dialogue he can build with the different public actors ". Among the crises pointed out by Boaventura de Sousa Santos, I understand that today we are facing the crisis of the university education model of and for the elites. It must also be a challenge to think about these conflicting crowded universities. The works that this work brings together allow us to think about the constitution of a university in which there is a community of faculties, professors, students and researchers where they collectively discuss what the university is and what its place in society is. The topics addressed, the prison question, the law in the towns of the city of Buenos Aires, training in criminal law for members of the administration of justice, machismo in legal education, critical pedagogical proposals, the teaching model of the Faculty of Law, give account of the potential expansion that these efforts had together. These texts challenge us, they demand a lot from us, they put us in trouble. And they also commit us to transform (us) into social reality, and thus also liberate (us), inevitably jointly, with rights and conflicts.

FictionMarch 2022Oceanic
by Yolanda González
A right whale is beached on the Basque coastline on the eve of the G7 Summit held in Biarritz in August of 2019. An environmental journalist is knocked down by the whale’s final fin thrash while she is covering the news story. The event is politically suspicious because various clues point to a sabotage operation orchestrated by anti-system groups gathered in Hendaya to protest the summit. The whale’s cadaver becomes the awkward guest at political meeting, adding tension to an already fraught social situation marked by the crisis and the continuing protested by the Yellow Vests. In parallel, in the Spain of King Philip II, a group of Basque whalers prepare for the great transatlantic expedition in search of whale oil, the essential fuel for the development of the civilized world. Men die at sea and women confront the human drama with their own weapons while the city of Bayonne is decorated for the celebration of the meeting between the two great European monarchies. The very same ocean that served as the hatchery for budding empires, today is agonizing in full view of the Group of Seven. The gazes of Elizabeth of Valois, Catherine de Medici, and their courts blend into the gazes of Macron, Trump, and the other world leaders. Outside, the streets are filled with screaming protestors. The whales advance toward them, special guests to the powerful party. Five centuries separate the two great political meetings: the Biarritz G7 Summit focused on inequality and climate change, and the 1565 Bayonne meeting for peace between the peoples of the Spanish and French crowns. Using elements from the ecothriller, historical fic3on, and poli3cal sa3re, the novel Oceanic blends different 3me periods and narra3ve voices, making nature a leading character.
