June 2015Violencia de género y las respuestas de los sistemas penales
by Encarna Bodelón (comp.)
The problem of impunity and the devaluation of the rights of women who suffer sexist violence in intimate relationships is still present in European penal systems. The basic question is what differentiates sexist violence in the sphere of the couple from other types of violence. This type of violence in the sphere of the couple has nothing to do with what is known as injuries in the criminal sphere, but rather "gender violence, sexist violence, violence against women". The "problem" is not the women who report or do not report, but to what extent criminal treatment pursues the reported behaviors and protects women who suffer violence. In diverse contexts we will see common problems and remote solutions, but which coincide in not being yet ensuring the freedom of women. Our purpose is to advance in the construction of women's rights and denounce that the insufficient guarantee of the right to a life free of violence is an attack against all women, against all citizens and a burden of the patriarchal State.

Exposición múltiple es el encuentro de veinte creadores. Diez narradores y diez fotógrafos se combinan a ciegas en la construcción de diez historias. Ninguno de ellos podría haber previsto el resultado final de sus creaciones. La diversidad de los relatos y la riqueza visual de las fotografías nos sumerge en un mundo donde Fenimore, apodado Mario Baracus, es un integrante de un grupo anarquista clandestino. También corre en las páginas del libro Lobo, un perro heroico. Beto declara que no tiene ningún apuro en regar las plantas, ni en recibirse, ni en dejar la casa, ni en casarse. Los estorninos vuelan juntos como un fantasma diurno de las alturas. ¿Qué bichos andan debajo de la corteza y dibujan surcos en el tronco? ¿Qué secreto esconde el sabor de la savia? Al terminar el día, la luna llena asoma entre los árboles del bosque cuando un perro pasa como una sombra y corre dando saltos. A lo lejos se escucha un grito agudo, Corazón, Corazón… Exposición múltiple es una creación de:Guillermo Álvarez Castro, Gustavo Espinosa, Henry Trujillo, Horacio Cavallo, Inés Bortagaray, Inés Garland, Leonardo Cabrera, Manuel Soriano, Mercedes Estramil, Rosario Lázaro IgoaÁlvaro Percovich, Carlos Contrera, Guillermo Carballa, Jorge Ameal, Manuela Aldabe, Marcelo Casacuberta, Mariana Méndez, Pablo Bielli, Santiago Mazzarovich, Tali Kimelman

FictionLast of all, the sky
by Michele Cecchini
Emilio Cacini, known to everyone as ‘Soldo di cacio’ (Shorty) on account of hisdiminutive stature, teaches art at a secondary school. Fat and clumsy, Cacio has a secretinvolving a woman, Ilaria, with whom he had a relationship during the period in whichshe was a member of the Red Brigades. He’d like to confide in someone but in ArdenzaMare - the neighbourhood on the outskirts of Livorno where he lives – no one asks toomany overly personal questions. The fact is that it’s something of an anomalous place,largely because of the magical, enchanted atmosphere in which it’s immersed. From hercage in the middle of the neighbourhood park, the majestic tigress Mirtilla(Blackcurrant) has always been a reassuring presence for the locals.Cacio has a son called Pitore (Pet Chicken), a child who suffers from a developmentalspeech disorder. In practice, Pitore speaks a language all of his own made up of newwords such as folmedína (sea). This would appear to be no big deal for Cacio, who goesout of his way to find alternative forms of communication to words in an attempt toforge an increasingly close relationship with the child, who he’s bringing up by himself.Albeit disoriented, Cacio has a whole world inside himself and goes his own way. He isgentle but, at the same time, strong, capable of passing through solitude and creatingharmony from the disharmony he feels around him. In search of authenticcommunication that goes beyond words, Cacio seems to be saying that the world canexist in many different ways, provided we know how to invent it.Michele Cecchini possesses a unique imagination, a virtue few writers can boast of. Hisis a magical realism marked by a special form of delicacy and wonder. A cross betweenFellini and Soriano, he uses a special lens to look at and speak about the world, which flies lightly by, as if it were enclosed in a soap bubble.

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.

Engranaje I: La venganza es nuestra
by Esteban Morales / Daniel Rojas Pachas
La venganza es nuestra expone una variedad de representaciones de la realidad a través del arte gráfico. El compilado presenta humor y sátira nacional gracias al trabajo de Christiano. Su obra encarna un espíritu testimonial y coloquial de la vida en Chile a fines del siglo XX. Juan Vásquez, valiéndose únicamente del poder de la imagen genera un retrato que resalta la fuerza de las culturas precolombinas. Necrotax y Mauricio Menares hacen actualizaciones de leyendas nacionales del sur de Chile, la Pincoya, el Trauco, el Chonchón. Esteban Morales plantea una corta historia sobre el animalismo. Propuestas que se acercan a la literatura por los materiales que trabajan, leyendas y literatura latinoamericana. La obra de Claudio Rocco es una muestra del cómic strip o historieta de humor, cercana al cartoon. El arte de Iván Llanos demuestra su interpretación de una cultura del videojuego y el manga, mientras que Bastián Brauning, portadista e ilustrador expone un arte cercano al tatuaje y al graffiti con una mirada contestaria y punk.Escapando del límite de los centralismos y la mirada reduccionista de los grandes centros. Este libro constituye un punto de fuga y una invitación al lector. Proyecto Financiado por el Fondo del libro y la lectura 2021 del Ministerio de las culturas, las artes y el patrimonio de Chile.

December 2019Retomada
by Pablo Albarenga
Con esta selección fotográfica registrada entre 2016 y 2019, Pablo Albarenga nos adentra en la vida y la lucha de los pueblos indígenas de Brasil por recuperar sus territorios.Muchos son los pueblos originarios que viven en América Latina. Los que se identifican hoy como guaraníes vivieron y transitaron en la región comprendida por Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil, Paraguay y Uruguay. Se dice que si caminamos de Uruguay a Brasil y luego a Bolivia, podríamos dormir cada noche en una tekoá distinta. Las tekoás son aldeas donde preservan su legado ancestral; tekoá significa, en lengua guaraní, la tierra sin mal, el lugar donde se lleva a cabo la forma de ser guaraní.Estos pueblos de tierras bajas han hecho evidente una impactante capacidad para oponerse a eso que llamamos progreso. Son los que han enfrentado con mayor firmeza a las grandes obras y megaproyectos, desde la represa de Belo Monte (Brasil) hasta la carretera que atraviesa el Territorio Indígena y Parque Nacional Isiboro-Sécure (Bolivia).Las retomadas —reocupaciones de tierras indígenas— son un retorno a lo esencial, un acto de rebeldía de los pueblos indígenas de Brasil para volver a unirse con el territorio ancestral. Estos pueblos nos interpelan sobre si somos capaces de reconocer la diferencia, de aceptar la libertad del otro, su derecho a ser y a elegir cómo vivir. Pues en su libertad se evidencian nuevos rumbos posibles que nos obligan a mirarnos en su espejo para repensarnos.

April 2020Reificación mediática
by German Duarte
En los años 60 del siglo pasado, las posiciones existencialistas y fenomenológicas plantearon un problema importante y controvertido, que produjo divisiones en el seno del mismísimo campo del pensamiento marxista. ¿Está el efecto de reificación sujeto inextricablemente al modo de producción capitalista? ¿Está por ello destinado a desaparecer con la liberación de la esfera social del dominio del capital, o bien tenemos que pensar que el carácter de reificación es más profundo que el mismo capitalismo y que está arraigado en la dimensión antropológica fundacional, anterior a la relación capitalista social ?.

Humanities & Social SciencesThe Animal Mirror
by Zakarías Zafra
Tapachula, Chiapas: a small city on the southern border of Mexico bearing the weight of a continental migratory crisis. Migrants trapped between bureaucracy, misery, and violence. Tens of thousands of bodies halted in front of the invisible wall of the United States. This book seeks to explore migration from the inside out. Its field of exploration encompasses not only the physical border but also the narrator's personal experience as an immigrant in Mexico. It is a hybrid work that weaves through chronicles, personal essays, autobiography, and travel writing, considering the migratory phenomenon not just as a collapse but as a space for profound subjective elaboration. The story of a religious leader expelled from Angola, the adventures of a former Colombian guerrilla threatened by the dissident factions of the FARC, and the nostalgia of an exiled Sandinista from Daniel Ortega's dictatorship blend in a common chorus with the narrator’s voice, son of a father killed by the Venezuelan state and a mother seeking asylum in Mexico. More than a chronicle, "El espejo animal" seeks to be a spoken portrait of migration in Latin America. It is an artifact that enables and amplifies the voices of migrants where they cannot be heard.

Christian theologyThe Christ Always New
The Place of Context in Christology
by Francisco García Martínez
Something has changed in Christology, something that causes anxiousness and worry among the shepherds and theologians that try to give reason of their faith in a time and in a society where certitudes have dwindled. However, since Christ is the same yesterday, today and always, the only and universal Salvator in history, theology, forced by Christ’s eschatological lordship, which does not despise any historical present as his own body, must look for new ways to offer today’s men and women the truth, beauty and goodness that are in store for all in God’s very depths. According to this logic, where the context becomes a provocation inviting faith and theology to be daring, the liturgical Christ reveals himself as the foundation of Christology, since it is the place where he displays his truth and living presence.
