GeoHumanidades
"Por demasiado tiempo, para muchos de nosotros, sobre todo en Occidente, el mundo ha sido demasiado humano. Tenemos la necesidad de aprender de otros entornos basados en relaciones distintas a la división entre naturaleza y cultura, para así forjar imaginarios que nos ayuden en la tarea de estar compenetrados con el mundo” (Harriet Hawkins)
Evidencias
“Evidencias. Las otras dramaturgias” tiene por objetivo ser un documento que posicione la voz dramática de mujeres del siglo XX, visibilizando su creación y aportando a la escena teatral chilena y latinoamericana desde su variedad temática y estilística, reflejado en la diversidad de mundos e imaginarios que habitan los personajes al interior de las obras, pero también, a la construcción de una genealogía del quehacer de las mujeres desde una perspectiva de género. La presente antología busca mermar el sesgo en materia dramática a partir de la selección de doce obras que componen este primer tomo, invitándonos a revisitar otros contextos al indagar en las historias, personaje...
Reversaglio/Nigredo
Este libro contiene dos cuentos de la escritora uruguaya Sofía Rosa: Reversaglio y Nigredo. Ambos cuentos son narrados por niñas y tienen como temas centrales el hogar, la casa, la presencia/ausencia de la madre y la muerte. Escritos en prosa poética, estos relatos nos introducen en los mundos interiores de la infancia y nos permiten observar la vida y experiencias desde la mirada ingenua de sus protagonistas, donde la verdad, la mentira y la fantasía muchas veces no se distinguen. Es un texto lóbrego, oscuro y hermoso.
Defensa de la Tierra
«Perteneció a la estirpe de estos contempladores de mirada libre y liberadora, con una conciencia exaltada de lo real, que no puede sino significar una exaltada conciencia del propio ser, una pasión… La pasión de ver fue para él una pasión de ser», nos advierte en el prólogo de este pionero libro de reflexión ecológica, el filósofo Jorge Millas. Luis Oyarzún (1920-1972), fue un apasionado de la Tierra, un poeta y pensador «al aire libre». Quienes lo conocieron y leyeron, dan fe de su sentimiento fraternal con el cosmos, de vivir como una criatura entre criaturas, siempre prójimo y nunca amo absoluto de la realidad y sus seres. Publicado póstumamente en 1973, Defensa de la T...

Introduction to Antiphilosophy
Philosophy is traditionally understood as the search for universal truths, and philosophers are supposed to transmit those truths beyond the limits of their own culture. But, today, we have become sceptical about the ability of an individual philosopher to engage in 'universal thinking', so philosophy seems to capitulate in the face of cultural relativism. In Introduction to Antiphilosophy, Boris Groys argues that modern 'antiphilosophy' does not pursue the universality of thought as its goal but proposes in its place the universality of life, material forces, social practices, passions, and experiences - angst, vitality, ecstasy, the gift, revolution, laughter or 'profane illumination' - and he analyses this shift from thought to life and action in the work of thinkers from Kierkegaard to Derrida, from Nietzsche to Benjamin. Ranging across the history of modern thought, Introduction to Antiphilosophy endeavours to liberate philosophy from the stereotypes that hinder its development.
Under Suspicion
The public generally regards the media with suspicion and distrust. Therefore, the media's primary concern is to regain that trust through the production of sincerity. Advancing the field of media studies in a truly innovative way, Boris Groys focuses on the media's affect of sincerity and its manufacture of trust to appease skeptics. Groys identifies forms of media sincerity and its effect on politics, culture, society, and conceptions of the self. He relies on different philosophical writings thematizing the gaze of the other, from the theories of Heidegger, Sartre, Mauss, and Bataille to the poststructuralist formulations of Lacan and Derrida. He also considers media "states of exception" and their creation of effects of sincerity—a strategy that feeds the media's predilection for the extraordinary and the sensational, further fueling the public's suspicions. Emphasizing the media's production of emotion over the presentation (or lack thereof) of "facts," Groys launches a timely study boldly challenging the presumed authenticity of the media's worldview.

A fascinating account of how ordinary people met the challenges of literacy in modern Europe, as distances between people increased.
Auguries of Innocence
Auguries of Innocence is the first book of poetry from Patti Smith in more than a decade. It marks a major accomplishment from a poet and performer who has inscribed her vision of our world in powerful anthems, ballads, and lyrics. In this intimate and searing collection of poems, Smith joins in that great tradition of troubadours, journeymen, wordsmiths, and artists who respond to the world around them in fresh and original language. Her influences are eclectic and striking: Blake, Rimbaud, Picasso, Arbus, and Johnny Appleseed. Smith is an American original; her poems are oracles for our times.
Fit for Life
There is only one concept to grasp and only one action to take: Eat more living food than dead food. The simplicity of this message has eluded people up to now. In fact, it may seem oversimplified. Because of past frustrations and disappointments, people have come to believe that losing weight is complicated, difficult and expensive. Truth be told, all that is required to reap the myriad benefits of Harvey Diamond's program is to return to the fundamentals of life. The human body is intelligent and capable beyond anyone's comprehension, but in order to unleash this extraordinary intelligence-including that which normalizes body weight-the proper fuel is required. That fuel is living food. Bu...
