Educación superior, esperanza, justicia (Xipe totek 106)
Esta edición 106 de Xipe totek abre con tres ensayos en los que lo existente, la posibilidad de la justicia y la esperanza se presentan desde ópticas críticas que ayudan a enriquecer la reflexión filosófica. En primer lugar, presentamos el capítulo undécimo del estudio que Jorge Manzano hizo sobre Bergson, en el que analiza la crítica que el filósofo francés formuló a propósito de la idea de la nada; en relación con la posibilidad de la justicia, Carlos Alonso Grande cuestiona cuáles son “las condiciones de posibilidad de la filosofía moral en las circunstancias prácticas actuales”; mientras que Pedro Reyes, plantea, desde pensadores como John Caputo, Jacques Derrida y Adriana Cavarero, la posibilidad de pensar nuestra propia finitud de una manera tal “que nos permita una visión diferente de la historia, desautorizando la lectura meramente apocalíptica y abriendo las posibilidades de mantener la tensión humana por el pensamiento y la realización ética y política”.

The Physics of Foraging
Do the movements of animals, including humans, follow patterns that can be described quantitatively by simple laws of motion? If so, then why? These questions have attracted the attention of scientists in many disciplines, and stimulated debates ranging from ecological matters to queries such as 'how can there be free will if one follows a law of motion?' This is the first book on this rapidly evolving subject, introducing random searches and foraging in a way that can be understood by readers without a previous background on the subject. It reviews theory as well as experiment, addresses open problems and perspectives, and discusses applications ranging from the colonization of Madagascar by Austronesians to the diffusion of genetically modified crops. The book will interest physicists working in the field of anomalous diffusion and movement ecology as well as ecologists already familiar with the concepts and methods of statistical physics.

The Mosquito Bite Author
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.
