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 arrival of Quirós brings out her lucid, hyperactive side and sets her up for a wildly unhinged fall.

Literature & Literary StudiesAugust 2016Andares de un Artista: Poemas y Arte
Poemas y Arte
by Ann A. Guerra
Andares de un Artista no es un libro comun. Es una caminata a traves de las calles de la experiencia. Calles que a veces han sido crueles e implacables; otras, frivolas e indiferentes. Ausencias de amores, de todo. Desavenencias que han producido un profundo dolor humano, y que han hecho brechas, dejando profundas cicatrices. Pero tambien esas mismas calles sirvieron de escenarios para los dramas que alli se desarrollaron, impactamdo profundamente mi sentir. Dando paso a la inspiracion que, dio forma y vida a mis poemas y lienzos. Por ultimo, tocando las fibras mas sensibles del alma romantica y algo aventurera del poeta que vive en mi.

Humanities & Social SciencesGazes for an emerging citizenship. Encounters and disagreements on the digital ambit
Encuentros y desencuentros en el escenario digital
by Rocío Abascal Mena, Claudia Pedraza Bucio
Today we inhabit a world that has been transformed by digital technologies, allowing effortless connection through social media and access to vast amounts of information. In this socio-cultural space, a form of citizenship emerges that displays its capacities and potentialities; that requires active participation in different moments of encounter and disagreement; that calls for dialogue, decision-making, the creation and consumption of information, and, above all, that aims to the configuration of critical subjects capable of transforming their reality: citizens who are also consumers: gamers, readers of news and people looking for love with their best profile picture. In the emergence of this citizenship, dialogical-discursive relationships arise in the context of mass self-communication, through daily, individual and collective interactions, in which fundamental rights are disputed, such as the rights to communicate, to information, to free expression, to privacy. This setting implies great challenges for the exercise of citizen life. The gaze of this book returns to the practices that in one way or another allow and demand to be assumed as a political subject from everyday life. Without intending to exhaust the contexts and contingencies of the digital, the text calls for interpretation, discussion and search for answers that allow us to understand the emerging citizenship, of which we are already participants, beyond our clicks.

Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2019Resistance and practices of rebellion at the age of Reformations (16th-18th centuries)
by Rocío G. Sumillera, Manuela Águeda García-Garrido, José Luis Martínez-Dueñas
The chapters in this volume examine various understandings of theories of political resistance and obedience on the part of myriad authors, Catholic as well as Protestant, from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. They consider how the Reformation spurred reflections on the concept of resistance, pondering over the circumstances that would call for resistance and that would sanction it, and the agents who could legitimately initiate and manage the deposition of political, religious and royal authorities. From sixteenth-century Spanish readings of the Reformation, to different episodes of active resistance through France, Switzerland, Austria and Germany, to the experience of religious exiles in the English colonies in North America, this volume provides an illustrative sample of case studies on, on the one hand, processes of construction of the rhetoric of resistance, and, on the other, instances of actual uprisings.
