En el contexto del marco de Guadalajara Capital Mundial del Libro, desde la División de Estudios Históricos y Humanos y el Departamento de Letras de la Universidad de Guadalajara, se lanzó la convocatoria al concurso de cuento: Guadalajara en el siglo XXI a través de sus jóvenes narradores, dirigida a los estudiantes de nivel superior de esta institución. Con el propósito de honrar el lema de esta celebración, que concibe al libro y la lectura como herramientas de construcción de paz y que permitan a su vez difundir el conocimiento y la cultura, este concurso promueve la creación de historias de la vida cotidinana de nuestra ciudad, y aunado a ello el fortalecimiento de la idea de ser tapatío. Algunas de las historias que conforman esta publicación exponen la violencia como parte de la cotidianidad de la vida de los jóvenes. Este libro nos hace reflexionar acerca de lo que significa vivir en una ciudad desbordada por una agobiante e interminable violencia física, emocional, económica y cultural.
Our relationships are unsatisfactory.They are conditioned by cultural, social and historical factors, which lead us to an inner emptiness. Through centuries of patriarchal leadership and feminine dependence we have arrived at the present situation...one of deep unsatisfaction. The neediness of so many women and the present day situation of lack of true encounter between men and women, has led the author to question, to observe and to suggest new solutions to our present challenges. We need to learn to relate to each other without hurting ourselves, to love each other without attaching one to another, to be accomplices respectful of our identities and freedom, to experience unity in diversity. ,

For people and governments around the world, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic seemed to place the preservation of human life at odds with the pursuit of economic and social life. Yet this simple alternative belies the complexity of the entanglements the crisis has created and revealed, not just between health and wealth but also around morality, knowledge, governance, culture, and everyday subsistence. Didier Fassin and Marion Fourcade have assembled an eminent team of scholars from across the social sciences, conducting research on six continents, to reflect on the multiple ways the coronavirus has entered, reshaped, or exacerbated existing trends and structures in every part of the globe. The contributors show how the disruptions caused by the pandemic have both hastened the rise of new social divisions and hardened old inequalities and dilemmas. An indispensable volume, Pandemic Exposures provides an illuminating analysis of this watershed moment and its possible aftermath.
