Testigos olvidados recoge los testimonios de 21 reporteros que cubrieron los procesos de paz desarrollados entre 1982 y 2016. Comienza con un breve contexto sobre el origen de la guerra en Colombia desde 1948 hasta el inicio del gobierno de Belisario Betancur, primer Presidente de la era reciente en intentar un proceso de paz con los grupos insurgentes.

Seguido al contexto de cada gobierno se abren paso los testimonios que no pretenden explicar al lector la manera correcta de cubrir unas negociaciones, sino que, simplemente, presentan unas experiencias y construyenm memoria sobre algunos de los aspectos menos documentados en la historia de Colombia. De igual manera, este texto no busca dilucidar una verdad única alrededor del cubrimiento periodístico de los procesos de paz, sino que presenta los testimonios, anécdotas y experiencias de los reporteros que, trabajando para un medio de comunicación, siguieron el paso a paso de las negociaciones de paz entre el gobierno colombiano y las guerrillas.

He became one of the ten richest men on the planet and controlled 80 per cent of the global cocaine trade before he was shot dead in 1993.

The secret mission to recover a stolen cash hoard, culminates in a bloody shoot-out with a group of young Pablo Escobar's violent gangsters. Several of the men escape, including the young Escobar. As the dust s...
Este libro recoge quince años de experiencias investigativas en el campo de la historia cultural. A modo de conmemoración, este volumen presenta trece textos, producidos a lo largo de una década y media de labores académicas del grupo de investigación Prácticas culturales, Representaciones e Imaginarios.

La obra está compuesta por diferentes contribuciones que representan diferentes maneras de entender y poner en práctica la historia cultural.

This volume presents a selection of translated public and private letters, written by Spanish officials, merchants, and ordinary settlers, aiming to illuminate the panorama of sixteenth-century Spanish American settler society and its genres of correspondence. Letters written by Native Americans, a few of whom at this time were beginning to practice European-style letter-writing, are also included. It is hoped that readers will feel the colorful humanity of the letter-writers, and also see the wide array of social types and functions during this era in the United States' Southwest.

This is the first monograph on the performance and reception of sixteenth- and seventeenth- century national drama in contemporary Spain, which attempts to remedy the traditional absence of performance-based approaches in Golden Age studies. The book contextualises the socio-historical background to the modern-day performance of the country’s three major Spanish baroque playwrights (Calderón de la Barca, Lope de Vega and Tirso de Molina), whilst also providing detailed aesthetic analyses of individual stage and screen adaptations.
"Craig begins by attributing the early introduction of the Recherche to the intimate friendship between Proust and the pianist-composer Reynaldo Halm, who was born in Caracas. He then shows in chapter 1 how literary critics of the principal newspapers and literary magazines of such countries as Venezuela, Argentina, and Chile examined this French text, which we know today as one of the fundamental works of modernism. Shortly thereafter interest in the Recherche spread to Cuba, Mexico, Uruguay, and Colombia. Eventually it would be read in all parts of the New World. Over the years Spanish Americans have continued to write about the Recherche and have published several noteworthy books on it, which are included in the comprehensive bibliography which serves as an appendix."--BOOK JACKET.
