Of Love and Other Passions
In Of Love and Other Passions Guiomar Dueñas-Vargas delves into the world of emotions among the bourgeois elite in Bogotà from the end of the colonial period to 1870. While most studies of the period focus solely on the countryâ (TM)s political activity, Dueñas-Vargas shows how Colombiaâ (TM)s social, cultural, and political changes transformed the meaning of love, which contributed to the evolution of new models of femininity and masculinity. By examining sources such as personal letters and diaries, Dueñas-Vargas presents the emotional profiles of families and couples, demonstrating how their conduct challenged the established order. As lovers insisted on choosing their own mates rather than marrying spouses selected by their parents, they undermined the patriarchal structure of Colombian society. Such decisions unveil the many functions women assumed in both public and private life and how they participated in the invention of a nation.

La Vorágine
Las ediciones de La Vorágine se cuentan por legiones: desde las doctas, cargadas de notas al pie, hasta las de filibustera factura, que no pueden faltar en cualquier agáchese. La apropiación popular de la novela también ha sido innegable. Aún hay quienes se la aprenden de memoria y difícilmente habrá territorio de frontera donde no exista una pensión o una casa de empeño llamada «La Vorágine». Para ser centenaria, no merma su necesidad. Pero el éxito le ha traído consigo dos maldiciones: ser encasillada en categorías limitadas, como «novela de la selva», «novela de la violencia», "novela de las caucherías", atinadas pero parciales para una obra que es justamente sobre la ...
