República, violencia y género en la novela de crímenes
Este texto recoge los trabajos del Congreso Internacional de Literatura Medellín Negro del 2018 y de colaboradores invitados para resolver preguntas como: ¿cuáles son las representaciones de la república o la democracia en las novelas contemporáneas? ¿cuáles son los casos de violencia en estos modelos de organización social? , ¿cuál es el papel de la mujer en el mundo social de la novela de crímenes contemporánea?. Principios como: el imperio de la ley y la soberanía nacional sirven para entender los mecanismos de violencia y discriminación contra las mujeres, minorías étnicas, trabajadores o intelectuales. La novela de crímenes es un espejo útil para comprender estas situaciones.

Zero-Point Hubris
Operating within the framework of postcolonial studies and decolonial theory, this important work starts from the assumption that the violence exercised by European colonialism was not only physical and economic, but also ‘epistemic’. Santiago Castro-Gómez argues that toward the end of the eighteenth century, this epistemic violence of the Spanish Empire assumed a specific form: zero-point hubris. The ‘many forms of knowing’ were integrated into a chronological hierarchy in which scientific-enlightened knowledge appears at the highest point on the cognitive scale, while all other epistemes are seen as constituting its past. Enlightened criollo thinkers did not hesitate to situate the Black, Indigenous, and mestizo peoples of New Granada in the lowest position on this cognitive scale. Castro-Gómez argues that in the colonial periphery of the Spanish Americas, Enlightenment constituted not only the position of epistemic distance separating science from all other knowledges, but also the position of ethnic distance separating the criollos from the ‘castes’. Epistemic violence—and not only physical violence—is thereby found at the very origin of Colombian nationality.
Colonial Subjects
Colonial Subjects is the first book to use a combination of world-system and postcolonial approaches to compare Puerto Rican migration with Caribbean migration to both the United States and Western Europe. Ramón Grosfoguel provides an alternative reading of the world-system approach to Puerto Rico's history, political economy, and urbanization processes. He offers a comprehensive and well-reasoned framework for understanding the position of Puerto Rico in the Caribbean, the position of Puerto Ricans in the United States, and the position of colonial migrants compared to noncolonial migrants in the world system.

Access to Health Care
To what extent can we have truly universal, comprehensive and timely health services, equally available to all? Access to Health Care considers the meaning of 'access' in health care and examines the theoretical issues that underpin these questions. Contributors draw on a range of disciplinary perspectives to investigate key aspects of access, including: · geographical accessibility of services · socio-economic equity of access · patients' help-seeking behaviour · organisational problems and access · methods for evaluating access. Access is considered in both a UK and international context. The book includes chapters on contrasting health policies in the United States and European Union. Access to Health Care provides both health care researchers as well as health professionals, managers and policy analysts, with a clear and wide-ranging overview of topical and controversial questions in health policy and health services organization and delivery.
Path to a Meaningful Life
Life is a gift. To be alive in this world of chaos and uncertainties is a privilege we must not take for granted. Life is more precious than diamond. It is more precious because it is not sold in the supermarket. No matter how rich you are, you cannot buy life. Yes, you are right; I understand that money can give you access to the best health facilities in the world. It can afford you the opportunity to be treated by the best doctors in the world and the opportunity to replace your failing organs so as to remain as healthy as a horse, but have you seen anyone who lives forever? No one does. We all die. Whether rich or poor, life remains what money cannot buy and shouldn’t be taken for granted. How do we live a meaningful life? How do we make the most of this precious gift called life? How do we embark on the path that leads to living a meaningful and successful life? Well, I will like to believe you decided to read this piece because you will like to find answers to all these questions and more. I am glad you made this decision. Now is the time to embark on the journey into the world of meaningful and successful life.
Sharing a Ride on the Commodities Roller Coaster
Fluctuations in commodity prices are an important driver of business cycles in small emerging market economies (EMEs). We document how these fluctuations correlate strongly with the business cycle in EMEs. We then embed a commodity sector into a multi-country EMEs’ business cycle model where exogenous fluctuations in commodity prices follow a common dynamic factor structure and coexist with other driving forces. The estimated model assigns to commodity shocks 42 percent of the variance in income, of which a considerable part is linked to the common factor. A further amplification mechanism is a ”spillover” effect from commodity prices to risk premia.
