La imaginación metodológica
"Los autores congregados en este libro hacen venturosas contribuciones para examinar la cultura digital. Desde diversas perspectivas, describen e incluso construyen metodologías propicias para la investigación en este campo [...] Las aleccionadoras indagaciones y las cimentadas certezas metodológicas que describen los ocho autores de este libro, la destreza con la que toman y reelaboran conceptos e instrumentos, la demostración de que los estudios de esta índole requieren de enfoques multidisciplinarios, la apuesta a la búsqueda, antes que a certezas circunstanciales, actualiza para la investigación digital aquella inquietud de Wright Mills" para desarrollar la imaginación metodológica.

Images of Cuba
"This book presents three essays on Cuba by Nobel prize winning author Gabriel Garcia Márquez. Here he describes the early days of the Cuban revolution and the impact of the US blockade of the island, first declared in February 1962, that remains in place with devastating effect to this day. The second essay relates the extraordinary and largely unknown episode of Cuba's role in Africa, when in 1975 the Cuban government sent troops to aid newly independent Angola resist an invasion by South Africa, an outstanding example of international solidarity that not only assisted Namibia gain its independence but ultimately helped to bring down the apartheid government in Pretoria. In the third essay, Garcia Marquez offers an intimate reflection on his longtime friend, Fidel Castro, describing him as "a man of austere ways and insatiable illusions, with an old-fashioned formal education, of cautious words and simple manners and incapable of conceiving any idea that is not out of the ordinary."--Page 4 of cover.

Clandestine in Chile
In 1973, the film director Miguel Littín fled Chile after a U.S.-supported military coup toppled the democratically elected socialist government of Salvador Allende. The new dictator, General Augusto Pinochet, instituted a reign of terror and turned Chile into a laboratory to test the poisonous prescriptions of the American economist Milton Friedman. In 1985, Littín returned to Chile disguised as a Uruguayan businessman. He was desperate to see the homeland he’d been exiled from for so many years; he also meant to pull off a very tricky stunt: with the help of three film crews from three different countries, each supposedly busy making a movie to promote tourism, he would secretly put to...
