Poderes de facto: la iglesia. Programa Diálogos del Pensamiento 8
La emisión de esta tarde se centra en el análisis de la cúpula del poder que tiene el control de la Iglesia Católica. El poder, por sí mismo, no es nocivo, el asunto es en qué y para qué se utilice ese poder. El conflicto entre el Estado y la iglesia comienza cuando el poder espiritual busca competir con el poder temporal, cuestionándolo abierta o soterradamente. Las relaciones entre las dirigencias políticas y las católicas, desde siempre, han estado marcadas por la disputa en torno a la orientación del pueblo. En nuestro país han pasado de un mutuo rechazo, a un disimulo pragmático que desembocó en cambios constitucionales que otorgaron legalidad a lo que se hacía de manera tácita. Al frente de la conducción tenemos a Aristarco Regalado y a Gabriela Díaz, quienes sostienen un diálogo abierto con el Mtro. Gabriel Falcón Morales y con el Dr. Igor González.¿La iglesia es verdaderamente un poder de facto con incidencia directa o más bien estamos hablando de un poder ideológico, que pone en duda la libertad de expresión de la iglesia? ¿Dónde debe ponerse el límite entre las relaciones Iglesia-Estado?
Narcoland
This “investigative magnum opus” offers a jaw-dropping history of Mexican drug cartels as it transports readers to the frontlines of the ‘war on drugs’ in Latin America (Los Angeles Times). “A riveting story . . . [from] an incredibly brave journalist.” —NPR The “war on drugs” has so far cost more than 60,000 lives. Hernández explains in riveting detail how Mexico became a base for the mega-cartels of Latin America and one of the most violent places on the planet. At every turn, Hernández names not just the narcos, but also the politicians, functionaries, judges, and entrepreneurs who have collaborated with them. In doing so, she reveals the mind-boggling depth of corrupt...
The Grammar of Fantasy
A collection of essays from the visionary storyteller Gianni Rodari about fairy tales and folk tales and their great advantages in teaching creative storytelling. "Rodari grasped children's need to play with life's rules by using the grammar of their own imaginations. They must be encouraged to question, challenge, destroy, mock, eliminate, generate, and reproduce their own language and meanings through stories that will enable them to narrate their own lives." --Jack Zipes "I hope this small book," writes renowned children's author Gianni Rodari, "can be useful for all those people who believe it is necessary for the imagination to have a place in education; for all those who trust in the c...
The Mexican Revolution
This comprehensive two-volume history of the Mexican Revolution presents a new interpretation of one of the world's most important revolutions. While it reflects the many facets of this complex and far-reaching historical subject it emphasises its fundamentally local, popular and agrarian character and locates it within a more general comparative context.-- Publisher.

Jia Aili
The work of the Chinese artist Jia Aili (*1979 in Liaoning) possesses an unparalleled intensity. Whether reflecting on China's inauguration of the atomic bomb or the first satellites in 1970, the theme of Aili's oil paintings is the dramatic transformation of Chinese society over the past 50 years. The works simultaneously also convey a feeling of wonderment and fascination for the achievements and new possibilities that technological progress offers. It is a feeling Aili has particularly developed in his apocalyptic-seeming desert landscapes, which only allow space for isolated masked figures, usually astronauts. The monograph documents Aili's exhibitions over the past 10 years and shows the young Chinese artist's disparate sources of inspiration with the aid of discussions of individual works.
Radical Sacrifice
A trenchant analysis of sacrifice as the foundation of the modern, as well as the ancient, social order The modern conception of sacrifice is at once cast as a victory of self-discipline over desire and condescended to as destructive and archaic abnegation. But even in the Old Testament, the dual natures of sacrifice, embodying both ritual slaughter and moral rectitude, were at odds. In this analysis, Terry Eagleton makes a compelling argument that the idea of sacrifice has long been misunderstood. Pursuing the complex lineage of sacrifice in a lyrical discourse, Eagleton focuses on the Old and New Testaments, offering a virtuosic analysis of the crucifixion, while drawing together a host of philosophers, theologians, and texts--from Hegel, Nietzsche, and Derrida to the Aeneid and The Wings of the Dove. Brilliant meditations on death and eros, Shakespeare and St. Paul, irony and hybridity explore the meaning of sacrifice in modernity, casting off misperceptions of barbarity to reconnect the radical idea to politics and revolution.
