El tema de la infancia y la juventud se mantiene vigente en los contextos institucionales y de la academia, en los que a diario evidenciamos una infancia contemporánea de carácter precoz, compleja e inacabada, y un conjunto de jóvenes portadores de una identidad descentrada que el mundo adulto no comprende. La procedencia histórica de estos sujetos, su proceso de constitución e identidad o su formación sociológica y cultural son temas que algunos investigadores comprometidos con los niños y jóvenes con el reconocimiento e inspección del mundo infantil y juvenil desconocen.
Sobre lo ocurrido el 28 de abril de 2021 y las semanas siguientes se cuentan ya más de una decena de libros, unas cuatro revistas de alto nivel académico y un sinnúmero de artículos de prensa y magazines. Las preguntas son diversas, y las disciplinas de interpretación, plurales. Frente a tal conjunto de artefactos hermenéuticos, este libro pretende sustentar sus tesis en información empírica construida a través tanto de bases de datos sociodemográficas, económicas y de protestas sociales —en un lapso anterior al paro nacional, que se remonta incluso a varias décadas— como de entrevistas a diferentes protagonistas sociales, etnografías en nodos de las protestas y revisión de prensa, entre otras fuentes primarias. Con la gran movilización del 2021 no solo Colombia ingresa a la historia contemporánea latinoamericana y se pone en primera plana en el siglo XXI, también surgen preguntas que no nos habíamos hecho.
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

"This unique volume illustrates and discusses in detail more than 160 extraordinary fine and decorative art works of the colonial Andes, including examples of the intricate Inca weavings and metalwork that preceded the colonial era as well as a few of the remarkably inventive forms this art took after independence from Spain. An international array of scholars and experts examines the cultural context, aesthetic preoccupations, and diverse themes of art from the viceregal period, particularly the florid patternings and the fanciful beasts and hybrid creatures that have come to characterize colonial Andean art."--Jacket.
