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.
Interculturalidad, arte y saberes tradicionales
El tema de la interculturalidad ha cobrado gran relevancia dentro del diseño de políticas públicas educativas. Parte de este auge se debe a la necesidad de garantizar los derechos que el artículo segundo de la Constitución Política de México otorga a los pueblos indígenas. Es preciso recordar que nuestra Carta Magna ratifica el carácter pluricultural de nuestra nación, con lo cual se reconoce la lengua, los conocimientos y las tradiciones de la cultura e identidad de los pueblos originarios de nuestras tierras como elementos enriquecedores del mosaico que integra la sociedad mexicana.
Vicente Rojo. Un creador en libertad (Magis 469)
Al otorgarle el Doctorado Honoris Causa a Vicente Rojo, en febrero pasado, el Sistema Universitario Jesuita quiso reconocer una trayectoria cuyos frutos han sido decisivos para el arte y la cultura en México en el último medio siglo, pero también la actitud vital de un creador para quien la transformación de la realidad únicamente puede tener lugar a través del ejercicio de la libertad. Por otro lado, la obra de Rojo y su participación en las dinámicas del arte mexicano han sido referentes fundamentales para las propuestas pedagógicas de las áreas creativas de las universidades jesuitas en nuestro país, afines en sus búsquedas a las que han conducido el trabajo del pintor, el dis...

Home Reading Service
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
Innovation in Pharmacy: Advances and Perspectives. September 2018
This book contains the summaries of the "Innovation in Pharmacy: Advances and Perspectives" that took place in Salamanca (Spain) in September 2018. The early science of chemistry and microbiology were the source of most drugs until the revolution of genetic engineering in the mid 1970s. Then biotechnology made available novel protein agents such as interferons, blood factors and monoclonal antibodies that have changed the modern pharmacy. Over the past year, a new pharmacy of oligonucleotides has emerged from the science of gene expression such as RNA splicing and RNA interference. The ability to design therapeutic agents from genomic sequences will transform treatment for many diseases. The...
