Caída Libre cuenta la historia real que vivió el empresario José Luis Navarro tras sobrevivir a un accidente de avión. Cómo este hecho cambió su manera de ver el mundo, y cómo ha llevado sus caminos personales y profesionales desde entonces. El libro es el resultado de este recorrido personal, y de la vida de empresario cafetalero y restaurantero, una vez que se dividió en "antes y después" de aquella mañana de abril.
In a highly original and interdisciplinary work bridging French and Francophone studies, cultural studies, media studies, and gender and sexuality studies, Luis Navarro-Ayala examines the transnational queer body as a physical and symbolic entity intrinsically connected with space. Through a transcultural and intersectional approach to bodily representations, socioeconomic conditions, and postcolonial politics, Navarro-Ayala analyzes queerness and Frenchness in narratives from North Africa and Latin America, revealing that Frenchness is coded to represent a sexually deviant “Other.” France and Frenchness, in two distinct regions of the global South, have come to represent an imagined queer space enabling sexual exploration, even in social conditions that would have otherwise prevented queer agency.
Articulando pone en manos del lector un conjunto de artículos, ensayos, escritos y poemas a través de los cuales su autor, Luis Navarro García, invita a reflexionar sobre cuestiones de diversa índole en un mundo en el que la vorágine del día a día acaba devorando el tiempo que deberíamos dedicar a la reflexión y el análisis, tan necesarios para comprender la realidad en la que vivimos.
Beauty has a price…From her first high–heeled step onto a Paris runway, supermodel Seneca Houston has been a sensation. Ever since, she's been surrounded by couture clothes, glittering celebrities—and the constant glare of the paparazzi. She's become muse to designer Luis Navarro, who christens her Butterfly. Now, at thirty–three, Seneca wants the only thing that seems out of reach—a husband, children and a normal life. When her agent offers his secluded villa as a hideaway, Seneca finds both tranquillity and Dr. Eliot Rollins, a renowned plastic surgeon who is quickly captivated by the intelligent woman behind the breathtaking face. But when Seneca decides to retire from modeling, there are repercussions she never expected. Some people want Butterfly to stay trapped in the spotlight, even if it destroys her. Surrounded by tabloid scandal, grasping relatives and friends with hidden agendas, Seneca wonders if anything can be trusted—even her own heart….
