Producción de riqueza y desigualdad. Programa Diálogos del Pensamiento 17
Para reflexionar en esta emisión sobre las desigualdades sociales y la polarización que genera la producción de la riqueza en un mundo globalizado entre los países desarrollados y subdesarrollados, recibimos al Dr. Carlos Barba, quien trabaja temas como Desarrollo Social, Pobreza y Ciudadanía, y al Dr. Jorge Ceja, especialista en Ciudadanía, Cultura Política y Movimientos Sociales en América Latina. Durante la entrevista, los invitados hablan del agotamiento no del mercado pero si del modo de acumulación; de las deficiencias del modelo global liberal vigente y de los perjuicios de una economía que gira alrededor de los servicios y no de la producción; y de muchas más cosas que no...

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...
La experiencia como hecho social
Esta obra discierne sobre la experiencia enmarcándola desde la sociología cultural y sus artes, sus modos de hacer y de representarse. Destaca el ejercicio paralelo entre la experiencia investigada y la de investigar. Reflexionando desde conceptos clave como experiencia, red de significados y performance, se tocan temas como la observación participante y sus consecuencias; la manera en la que una entrevista afecta los resultados de una investigación, y la transformación de la conciencia histórica a partir de la experiencia y la expectativa. Desentrañar la relación entre hechos de trascendencia social y su elaboración narrativa es la aportación de este trabajo.
Jorge Luis Borges
An obscure Argentine, after writing a few laconic stories on philosophical themes, is miraculously discovered by the French literati and goes on to become one of the most admired writers of the 20th century. Though this may sound like a rather improbable film plot, it is the story of Jorge Luis Borges, a story investigated in detail by Borges' close friend Emir Monegal. Professor Monegal, a Borges confidant for more than 30 years, has been able, as no one else possibly could, to unearth the facts from this legend that Borges has so deftly constructed around himself. The result is a narrative as intriguing as one of Borges' own stories of detection. Monegal traces Borges' development as a writer from its beginnings in the child called Georgie who lived in a rundown neighborhood on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, learning to read English before he could read Spanish, to the winner of the most prestigious international literary prizes. He skillfully links Borges' personal history with his literary production, providing a fascinating account of the unfolding and eventual fruition of a creative genius.--From publisher description.
The End of Madness
The human psyche, normally a fortress of strength, is most vulnerable when love dies. The emotionally chilling novellas in The End of Madness provide glimpses into the minds of people for whom love stopped existing. The End of Madness, the signature story, deals with despair born of David Reeds obsessive behavior. The story follows the decline of a famous novelist who blurs the line between loving, trusting and dying. When his love affair spins out of control, soaring to a point of no return, the writer plunges an alluring mistress and a loving wife into their own brand of hell. An unexpected twist provides a gripping conclusion to this transatlantic journey into madness. THE VISITOR In The ...

The Ecological Basis of Conservation
From its inception, the U.S. Department of the Interior has been charged with a conflicting mission. One set of statutes demands that the department must develop America's lands, that it get our trees, water, oil, and minerals out into the marketplace. Yet an opposing set of laws orders us to conserve these same resources, to preserve them for the long term and to consider the noncommodity values of our public landscape. That dichotomy, between rapid exploitation and long-term protection, demands what I see as the most significant policy departure of my tenure in office: the use of science-interdisciplinary science-as the primary basis for land management decisions. For more than a century, ...
