In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
Estudios multirreferenciales sobre educación y currículo
Sin duda, la multirreferencialidad representa una de las más importantes estrategias con las que los profesores cuentan para reconstruir y transformar las teorías y prácticas educativas y curriculares, y en consecuencia, los aprendizajes de los estudiantes. Los textos compilados en esta obra pretenden servir como guía didáctica para la reflexión crítica y propositiva del quehacer docente, y suministrar una bibliografía especializada en torno a tres aspectos: epistemologías emergentes, pedagogías latinoamericanas y educación del siglo XXI. Este libro se dirige a quienes forman y se forman como docentes, a quienes ejercen esta profesión o la gestión de instituciones educativas, y a investigadores interesados en el tema. Los autores del libro pertenecen al programa de Doctorado en Ciencias de la Educación de la Facultad de Educación de la Universidad de San Buenaventura – Medellín.

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.
Understanding the Mathematical Way of Thinking – The Registers of Semiotic Representations
In this book, Raymond Duval shows how his theory of registers of semiotic representation can be used as a tool to analyze the cognitive processes through which students develop mathematical thinking. To Duval, the analysis of mathematical knowledge is in its essence the analysis of the cognitive synergy between different kinds of semiotic representation registers, because the mathematical way of thinking and working is based on transformations of semiotic representations into others. Based on this assumption, he proposes the use of semiotics to identify and develop the specific cognitive processes required to the acquisition of mathematical knowledge. In this volume he presents a method to d...
