«Las mujeres de Ningunaparte es una obra escrita desde distintos registros provenientes de los relatos médico-clínicos, administrativos y personales que la hacen original y atrevida para contarnos una historia de la locura en la primera mitad del siglo xx en Bogotá y de la vida cotidiana en la que se tejen las experiencias de los y las moradoras del Asilo de Locas. Como una narradora omnisciente, su autora, Luz Alexandra Garzón Ospina, articula una prosa sustentada con fuentes archivísticas que comunica en un tono intimista el pulso emocional de las mujeres que irremediablemente llegaban al Asilo con diagnósticos que dan cuenta no solo del sujeto alienado, sino de la subjetividad y la vida emocional del sujeto moderno en contexto. [...] Las mujeres tenían como destino natural el matrimonio, la maternidad y el resguardo de la sacralidad social a través de su honra y cumplimiento de sus tareas, de tal suerte que, como expone Luz Alexandra, el incumplimiento del destino doméstico de las mujeres podía ser motivo de la reclusión»

Many consider empathy to be the basis of moral action. However, the ability to empathize with others is also a prerequisite for deliberate acts of humiliation and cruelty. In The Dark Sides of Empathy, Fritz Breithaupt contends that people often commit atrocities not out of a failure of empathy but rather as a direct consequence of over-identification and a desire to increase empathy. Even well-meaning compassion can have many unintended consequences, such as intensifying conflicts or exploiting others. Empathy plays a central part in a variety of highly problematic behaviors. From mere callousness to terrorism, exploitation to sadism, and emotional vampirism to stalking, empathy all too often motivates and promotes malicious acts. After tracing the development of empathy as an idea in German philosophy, Breithaupt looks at a wide-ranging series of case studies—from Stockholm syndrome to Angela Merkel's refugee policy and from novels of the romantic era to helicopter parents and murderous cheerleader moms—to uncover how narcissism, sadism, and dangerous celebrity obsessions alike find their roots in the quality that, arguably, most makes us human.
