        by Isabelle Anchieta

        Images of Women in the Modern West is a trilogy authored by the sociologist Isabelle Anchieta. The author traces the process of humanization and individualization of women through images, from the end of the Middle Ages to the Modern. The result of eight years of field research in various countries, the work is divided into three volumes. The first establishes a dialogue between the images of the witches of the Middle Ages and those of the Indian Tupinambas cannibals; the second focuses on the different representations of Maria and Maria Magdalena; the last volume explores the transgressions of Hollywood stars. The works feature presentations by historian Lilia Schwarcz, sociologist Maria Arminda do Nascimento Arruda, and anthropologist Máximo Canevacci.

        Poesía dejada atrás

        by Ko Un

        Ko Un (Corea del Sur 1933) es uno de los poetas más celebres de nuestro tiempo. Es un habitual candidato al Premio Novel. Su vida es testimonio de que la poesía, como expresión del yo, no es sino una reivindicación de la libertad. Ingreso a un monasterio budista tras vivir los horrores de la guerra de Corea. Dejó su comunidad a inicio de los años sesenta para alejarse de la religión sistematizada y, durante las siguientes décadas, fue detenido y torturado varias ocasiones. por su oposición y rechazo al régimen militar. La poesía de Ko Un, echando mano de la dicción coloquial, va del aforismo, el epigrama y otras formas breves, al verso esnsayítico y narrativo, siempre próximos a la busqueda de la epifanía o el satori zen. Estamos ante una poesía siempre política poesía también de la consciencia de la finitud.
