Public Righteousness
Public Righteousness: The Performative Ethics of Human Flourishing is driven by the idea that part of what manifests as a disorderly display of virtue in public culture is underlined by the desire to see a more righteous society and an expression of the will to enact such an ideal world into reality. This book re-structures the ferment of such public displays and fashions an ethic that overturns the ostentatious signals of self-righteousness and the fierce contest of animating visions. This book engages the work of social ethicist Nimi Wariboko to explore an idea of public righteousness. In place of smug superiority and phony pieties, the performative ethics that inaugurate this public righteousness offer an intellectual and moral competence that establishes rectitude and culminates in human flourishing.
Sillas en la frontera
Veinte autoras de diferentes latitudes reflexionan a través de la palabra dramática sobre el fenómeno del tránsito asociado a las migraciones. Son autoras con voz propia, todas ellas interpeladas por la experiencia de las migraciones, algunas desde la deuda emocional familiar, (hijas o nietas de inmigrantes) o desde su propia experiencia, su posición transnacional y su mestizaje; todas desde el abordaje artístico y las deudas éticas con el compromiso de ciudadanas del mundo. Dramaturgas de “suelo inquieto” que escriben “contra el archivo” y comparten territorios desde su diversidad.

As war breaks out she is recruited for the British Secret Service by Lucas Romer, a mysterious Englishman, and under his tutelage she learns to become the perfect spy, to mask her emotions and trust no one, including those she loves most.

Now she must complete one final assignment, and this time Eva can't do it alone: she needs her daughter's help.
