La vida como centro: arte y educación ambiental
Este libro va a contracorriente de los discursos catastrofistas con los que frecuentemente se asocia a la educación ambiental, pues apuesta por la renovación discursiva y el diálogo interdisciplinar para encarar el panorama devastador. Los autores de esta obra consideran que un acercamiento a la Naturaleza desde el arte permite una concientización social más profunda y perdurable al no estar restringido a procesos puramente racionales. El arte, con su capacidad fabuladora nutrida de realidad, ofrece un asidero vital para los procesos educativos, especialmente en tiempos de crisis. Además posee, como afirma Alberto Ruy Sánchez, una calidad de afirmación esencial y una fuerza inédita para la sensibilización ante las amenazas ambientales. Los autores, más inquietos por ver el alba que por el asomo del crepúsculo, asumen que el mundo, a pesar de todo, sigue exudando sonidos y colores que nos iluminan la memoria y nos permiten ilusionarnos con mejores presagios.
The Shape of the Ruins
SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2019 MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZE A sweeping tale of conspiracy theories, assassinations, and twisted obsessions -- the much anticipated masterpiece from Juan Gabriel Vásquez. The Shape of the Ruins is a masterly story of conspiracy, political obsession, and literary investigation. When a man is arrested at a museum for attempting to steal the bullet-ridden suit of a murdered Colombian politician, few notice. But soon this thwarted theft takes on greater meaning as it becomes a thread in a widening web of popular fixations with conspiracy theories, assassinations, and historical secrets; and it haunts those who feel that only they know the real truth behind these killings. This novel explores the darkest moments of a country's past and brings to life the ways in which past violence shapes our present lives. A compulsive read, beautiful and profound, eerily relevant to our times and deeply personal, The Shape of the Ruins is a tour-de-force story by a master at uncovering the incisive wounds of our memories.
