El hombre que soñaba películas en blanco y negro
La última novela de R.H. Moreno Durán.
El toque de Diana
Si "Juego de Damas" recrea una jerarquía de mujeres mentales –Meninas, Mandarinas y Matriarcas– y un mundo de elegante aunque sospechoso roce cultural, "El toque de Diana" aborda un tema por completo opuesto al del Salón, un ámbito cerrado, un hortus conclusus donde la cínica erudición de un Mayor y la sensual malignidad de su mujer se reconcilian en una ceremonia despiadada y a menudo cruel. Ambos, en su común hostigamiento, justifican e ilustran ese Paralelo de las Fuerzas Vivas que –texto dentro del texto– pretende equiparar las mujeres a los militares, con lo cual la novela alcanza un rango de insolente humor e ironía poco frecuentes en las letras hispánicas de la actuali...
De la barbarie de la imaginación
Un ensayo imprescindible sobre la evolución de la novela en América Latina y España. Para R.H. Moreno-Durán, la novela latinoamericana expresa la secuencia de factores, tendencias y modas que primaron en el panorama cultural del continente, y la imaginación es el único elemento que esta tiene para revelarse en medio del debate entre "civilización" y "barbarie", implícito en la problemática cultural latinoamericana. La crítica ha dicho "De la barbarie a la imaginación es una libre interpretación de las letras hispanoamericanas desde las perspectivas de un escritor presente".

Historical Dictionary of Colombia
Colombia is the fourth largest country in South America and one of the continent's most populous nations. It has substantial oil reserves and is a major producer of gold, silver, emeralds, platinum, and coal, along with a significant number of natural resources. Colombia has also been ravaged by a decades-long violent conflict involving outlawed armed groups, drug cartels, and gross violations of human rights. Recently the country has made some progress towards improving security, and President Santos has pledged to continue to improve security by passing laws to strengthen the judicial system; a reform of the manner of distributing royalties paid by mining and petroleum companies; and a tougher law against corruption. The Historical Dictionary of Colombia covers the history of Colombia through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and a bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1,000 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Colombia.

Peripheral Transmodernities
This volume is a collection of essays dealing with the critical dialogue between the cultural production of the Hispanic/Latino world and that of the so-called Orient or the Orient itself, including the Asian and Arab worlds. As we see in these essays, the Europeans’ cultural others (peripheral nations and former colonies) have established an intercultural and intercontinental dialogue among themselves, without feeling the need to resort to the center-metropolis’ mediation. These South-to-South dialogues tend not to be as asymmetric as the old dialogue between the (former) metropolis (the hegemonic, Eurocentric center) and the colonies. These essays about Hispanic and Latino cultural production (most of them dealing with literature, but some covering urban art, music, and film) provide vivid examples of de-colonizing impetus and cultural resistance. In some of them, we can find peripheral subjectivities’ perception of other peripheral, racialized, and (post)colonial subjects and their cultures.
