Corporatization and the Right to Water in Colombia
This book explores how conflicts around access to water shape cities, citizenship and infrastructures by tracing how water is commodified and controlled by the Public Enterprises of Medellín (EPM), one of the most successful publicly owned utility companies in the global South. Why are water inequalities dramatically increasing in Medellín, a city that is located in an area of bountiful water resources and owns a successful, established utility company? This book explains this paradoxical situation by weaving together two central threads. The first is a critical historical analysis of the political, economic and ecological conditions that enabled the city’s utility company to grow and ex...
OIGA / VEA
Gran parte de la producción audiovisual de Luis Ospina se constituye como un material de referencia para la historia de la ciudad de Cali, así él no se haya propuesto escribir "la historia". Varias de sus películas o videos, en la medida que registran o caracterizan personajes o hechos caleños, ya sea en la ficción o en el documental, han terminado con el tiempo constituyéndose en referencias importantes, en verdaderos testimonios de la cultura local y regional. Aunque ese testimonio sea sobre un aspecto, un proceso, un imaginario, o una parte desaparecida de la ciudad. En Pura Sangre, por ejemplo, hay una reconstrucción de la tradición oral, de la memoria popular, acudiendo a hecho...

Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
The Gendered Worlds of Latin American Women Workers
In Latin American countries, the modern factory originally was considered a hostile and threatening environment for women and family values. Nine essays dealing with Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Guatemala describe the contradictory experiences of women whose work defied gender prescriptions but was deemed necessary by working-class families in a world of need and scarcity. 19 photos.
Débora Arango : vida de pintora
"Monograph honoring one of Colombia's more controversial painters, whose expressionistic work during the 1940s-50s was frequently surrounded by scandal and motivated angry personal attacks in the press. On occasion this led to the closing of several of her exhibitions, but her contribution was finally recognized in the 1980s. Arango's painting, both provocative and daring, usually deals with political, religious, and moral issues, although she also practiced more conventional themes such as portraiture, still life, and landscape. Supported by good documentation and illustrated in b/w, this book is part of a great effort by Londoño, whose research focused on the arts of the region of Antioquia, revitalizing an almost-forgotten field"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
