"El presente libro ofrece a la discusión académica un valioso aporte al debate sobre las emociones desde la perspectiva latinoamericana. En sus páginas el lector hallará un detallado análisis sobre la influencia del pathos en la vida social, al mismo tiempo que puede encontrar una interesante reflexión histórica y filosófica de los ires y venires de las emociones en la tradición occidental. Adicionalmente, sentir con otros también permite a la reflexión política romper con el mito cientificista y racionalista que instauró la modernidad, toda vez que expone e involucra al pathos en las dinámicas cotidianas de la vida del hombre como ser social en relación con los otros, lo que permite reconfigurar el quehacer político para tornarlo en algo más humano y tangible".

El Instituto de Estudios Metropolitanos y Regionales de la Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana -UPB-, invitó a mediados del año 2018, a un grupo de docentes-investigadores que, bajo diversas disciplinas, permitieron abordar temáticas vinculadas a los estudios urbano regionales. El resultado de este esfuerzo de trabajo colaborativo es la publicación que aparece con el título Miradas territoriales en los estudios urbano regionales.

This manual has been designed and written with the purpose of introducing key concepts and areas of debate around the "creative economy", a valuable development opportunity that Latin America, the Caribbean and the world at large cannot afford to miss. The creative economy, which we call the "Orange Economy" in this book (you'll see why), encompasses the immense wealth of talent, intellectual property, interconnectedness, and, of course, cultural heritage of the Latin American and Caribbean region (and indeed, every region). At the end of this manual, you will have the knowledge base necessary to understand and explain what the Orange Economy is and why it is so important. You will also acquire the analytical tools needed to take better advantage of opportunities across the arts, heritage, media, and creative services.
