Con motivo de la convocatoria hecha, en 2010, por el grupo de investigación Reflexión y Creación Artísticas Contemporáneas, del Departamento de Humanidades, de la Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano, se realizó, entre el 19 y el 22 de octubre de tal año, en la Universidad del Valle, el III Encuentro de Estudios Estéticos, en el marco del III Congreso Colombiano de Filosofía. El volumen que aquí se presenta empezó a configurarse en ese encuentro, que constituyó un diálogo de perspectivas y temas estéticos de una amplia gama.
Teología política e imagen nos pone tras la pista de los orígenes religiosos de nuestros sistemas de dominación. La actualidad de la relación entre los conceptos de la teoría moderna del Estado y algunos conceptos teológicos no solo se debe exclusivamente a que, en su versión secularizada, el Estado parece haber incumplido su misión unificadora, sino también a la inminencia de proyectos teocráticos que resultan tan amenazantes como incomprensibles Por su parte, la relación entre la teología política y la imagen apenas comienza a explorarse en la academia hispanoamericana. Una de las aproximaciones comunes se centra en la iconoclastia, pero esta es solo una capa superficial del ...
Religion in Mind is a 2001 text which summarizes and extends the advances in the cognitive study of religion throughout the 1990s. It uses empirical research from psychology and anthropology to illuminate various components of religious belief, ritual, and experience. The book examines cognitive dimensions of religion within a naturalistic view of culture, while respecting the phenomenology of religion and drawing together teachers of religion, psychologists of religion, and cognitive scientists. Expert contributors focus on phenomena such as belief-fixation and transmission; attributions of agency; anthropomorphizing; counterintuitive religious representations; the well-formedness of religious rituals; links between religious representations and emotions; and the development of god concepts. The work encourages greater interdisciplinary linkages between scholars from different fields and will be of interest to researchers in anthropology, psychology, sociology, history, philosophy, and cognitive science. It also will interest more general readers in religion and science.

In recent years, the field of Toxinology has expanded substantially. On the one hand it studies venomous animals, plants and micro organisms in detail to understand their mode of action on targets. While on the other, it explores the biochemical composition, genomics and proteomics of toxins and venoms to understand their three interaction with life forms (especially humans), development of antidotes and exploring their pharmacological potential. Therefore, Toxinology has deep linkages with biochemistry, molecular biology, anatomy and pharmacology. In addition, there is a fast developing applied subfield, clinical toxinology, which deals with understanding and managing medical effects of tox...
