"It all happened so fast that even now, a month later, I still have trouble believing it, and I have to tell myself over and over again: Leszli, you have been kidnapped." On April 12, 1999, Leszli Kálli boarded a plane in Colombia to work on a kibbutz in Israel, but she never made it. The plane was hijacked by a leftist guerrilla group and forced to land on an abandoned runway in the jungle. Leszli, along with her father and the other passengers, were held hostage for 373 days. Her diary reveals her innermost thoughts, darkest fears, and visions of hope. Leszli vividly presents this painful time in her life: trapped, held at gunpoint, and never knowing if she would live to see another day. Although never close before, the bond between her and her father grows as they provide one another with vital support. Alienated as the only woman in her group, she maintains her guard but finds comfort caring for animals, including a tarantula living beneath her bed. As the pages of her diary unfold, so, too, does the incredible story of one girl's fight for survival against overwhelming odds.

En Repensar el periodismo. Transformaciones y emergencias del periodismo actual, convergen el interés por comprender el lugar del dispositivo biográfico en la construcción de información de actualidad, y la necesidad de examinar hasta qué punto estamos ante reorganizaciones radicales de lo que entendemos por periodismo. El periodismo de entretenimiento, el periodismo biográfico, el periodismo de análisis, el periodismo de investigación serían manifestaciones de esas transformaciones y síntomas de superación del canon clásico del periodismo, también llamado periodismo informativo. ¿Cuales son los alcances de semejantes transformaciones? ¿En qué sentido constituyen formas de periodismo complejo? ¿ De qué manera esas mutaciones se expresan en el periodismo biográfico colombiano? ¿En qué consiste la superación del periodismo informativo? Ese es el tipo de preguntas y problemas que Repensar el periodismo se propone abordar.
La obra ofrece una síntesis de los obstáculos conceptuales y prácticos que debe superar el enfoque tradicional del análisis económico del derecho, para contribuir al debate sobre las reformas legales y judiciales en América Latina. Con el objeto de abordar problemáticas complejas como el balance de poder, la violencia, el crimen, las relaciones de pareja, los accidentes o la elección pública, este libro sugiere un programa de investigación conjunto entre el derecho y la economía más inductivo, empírico, positivo, local y focalizado, que aquel basado en los modelos económicos tradicionales.
