Can one envision economic growth that is also sustainable because it takes into account the cultural, moral and religious values of those intended to benefit from economic development? To explore this question, the Woodstock Theological Center launched a collaborative research effort involving 40 Jesuit centers around the world, taking as its "raw material" the stories of specific, mostly poor, individuals and their communities as they were touched by economic globalization. Focusing on decisions made by the individuals as they encountered the forces of the global economy, the authors discern the values and creativity that guided these decisions and derive implications for development policy. The book's methodology draws on the Jesuit approach to discernment that stresses the ethical responsibility of all development actors. It envisions communities partnering with other development agents, such as government, business, and NGO's, based on a better understanding of the values that drive decisions.

Land of Cockaigne

A novel written as a sharp parable of American society, addressing love, purpose, discrimination, and poverty. In Jeffrey Lewis’s novel, the Land of Cockaigne, once an old medieval peasants’ vision of a sensual paradise on earth, is reimagined as a plot on the coast of Maine. In efforts to assuage their grief over their son’s death and to make meaning of his life, Walter Rath and Catherine Gray build what they hope will be a version of paradise for a group of young men from the Bronx. As Walter and Catherine work to reinvent this land, formerly a summer resort, the surrounding town of Sneeds Harbor proves resistant. The residents’ well-meaning doubts lead to well-hidden threats, and ...

¿Por qué la Academia Sueca decidió otorgar el Premio Nobel de Literatura a Bob Dylan? La decisión sorprendió a propios y extraños, y, como nunca antes, las opiniones estuvieron divididas. En esta edición, Magis hace un repaso por la trayectoria del cantautor estadounidense, en el ánimo de brindar a los lectores más elementos para considerar la influencia y la importancia que la obra poética de Dylan ha tenido para el siglo XX y lo que llevamos del XXI. Por otro lado, presentamos una entrevista con el obispo Raúl Vera López, un hombre cuya solidez moral es signo de que la búsqueda de la justicia está lejos de ser una causa perdida. Y, en los terrenos del arte, echamos un vistazo a Banksy, una figura tan elusiva como fascinante, que está revolucionando nuestros modos de comprender la interacción del arte y la sociedad.

De "apolíticas" a militantes

Fue un día martes 20 de mayo de 1941 cuando se realizó una reunión que cambiaría el curso que hasta entonces había llevado el Partido Conservador respecto a la composición de sus militantes. En aquella reunión estarían presentes mujeres, en su mayoría pertenecientes a la elite y relacionadas familiarmente a militantes y dirigentes del Partido Conservador, con el objetivo de formar la Sección Femenina (SF) del partido, también conocido como el Partido Conservador Femenino. Mientras que otros partidos como el Partido Radical, el Partido Liberal y el Partido ya habían conformado sus secciones femeninas entre las décadas de 1920 y 1930, los conservadores serían los últimos en crear su filial femenina, producto de la presión de quienes buscaban militar en su partido.
