Drogodependencias y Trabajo Social
En la actualidad el mundo de las drogas y su problemática está presente en nuestra sociedad. Las encuestas y los medios de comunicación se hacen eco de ellas con mucha frecuencia. Se escuchan y leen noticias sobre el tráfico y consumo de drogas, de detenciones y redadas, sobre apresamiento de barcos que portan alijos de droga, de muertes por sobredosis y de personajes conocidos relacionados de un modo u otro con sustancias tóxicas, además de un extenso etcétera sobre el tema en cuestión. Hemos visto imágenes y leído reportajes sobre la adicción de Keith Urban, marido de Nicole Kitdman, o las declaraciones de Kate Moss según las cuales indicaba ser consumidora de drogas. También ...
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.
CONCHA LAGOS AGENTE CULTURAL: LOS CUADERNOS DE ÁGORA
La presente obra, Concha Lagos, agente cultural: Los cuadernos de Ágora, rescata y estudia el trascendental papel de agente cultural desempeñado por la poeta Concha Lagos a lo largo de su trayectoria literaria vinculándolo a la relativa novedad que suponía en el ambiente cultural de la posguerra española la presencia activa de una figura femenina en la faceta empresarial. Su éxito indudablemente se debió a su condición de artista creadora, de poeta que está en posesión de un currículo creativo nada desdeñable. Concha Lagos supo estar en primera línea del mundo cultura español de su tiempo al ser capaz de relacionarse con una amplia red de artistas, escritores e intelectuales importantes como se comprueba con solo consultar los índices de la revista Cuadernos de Ágora, que ella misma dirigió, cuyos sumarios, contenidos y trascendencia ocupan un sustancial lugar como objeto de atención de este trabajo.

The Mosquito Bite Author
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.
