Covid-19 en un país de alto riesgo. Primer semestre 2020 (Análisis Plural)
Nadie duda de que los primeros seis meses de este 2020 han sido diciles, no solo para México sino para el mundo entero. La inesperada pandemia de covid–19 ha puesto en jaque a todas las economías del mundo y ha afectado a todas las esferas de la vida. Que hay países que han aplicado mejores medidas de contención contra el coronavirus es cierto, y que otros aún se debaten entre la ineptitud y la desesperación ante la cantidad de muertes y el desplome de sus economías, pero ninguno ha dejado de desear que esta pesadilla pase cuanto antes. En este contexto, los contenidos de esta edición responden a preguntas urgentes: ¿cómo podrá recuperarse la economía? ¿se han vulnerado los de...
Análisis Plural, primer semestre de 2021. Del miedo a la convivencia con el coronavirus
En esta edición se realiza una revisión de los sucesos sociales y económicos de México durante el primer semestre de 2021, luego de que fueron levantadas las restricciones sanitarias y se incrementó la movilidad e interacción social en el territorio nacional. Durante ese periodo, el país se mantuvo entre los cuatro primeros lugares con más defunciones en el planeta por covid-19 (iniciamos 2022 en el quinto lugar). Se recuerda fraternalmente a Felipe Alatorre, quien figuró como editor de Análisis Plural hasta principios de 2021.

Medios de comunicación y derecho a la información en Jalisco, 2020
Con una mirada crítica al pasado reciente de lo ocurrido en el año 2020, esta edición destaca el trabajo de la comunicación pública para combatir la crisis epistemológica que enfrentó la sociedad durante el inicio de la pandemia por la covid-19. Mediante su análisis de la agenda pública revela, que aunque muchas realidades sociales fueron desplazadas de las agendas de los medios para dar cabida a información coyuntural de orientación sobre la pandemia, hubo otras que prevalecieron, como las manifestaciones feministas en Guadalajara. Y, así como va descubriendo las distorsiones que algunos medios hicieron en sus coberturas, también documenta las nuevas formas de hacer periodismo ...
Self Portrait in Green
'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.
Home Reading Service
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...

Undeniable Atrocities
"Since the Mexican government escalated its war on organized crime at the end of 2006, over 150,000 Mexicans have been intentionally murdered. Countless thousands of others have been tortured; no one knows how many have disappeared. Caught between government forces and organized crime cartels, the Mexican people have suffered as atrocities and impunity reign. Based on three years of research, over 100 interviews, and previously unreleased government documents, this report finds a reasonable basis to believe that government forces and members of criminal cartels have perpetrated crimes against humanity in Mexico. The report comprehensively examines why there has been so little justice for atrocity crimes, and finds the main answers in political obstruction. Given the lack of political will to end impunity, new approaches must be taken. The report argues for a series of institutional changes, most importantly the creation of an internationalized investigative body, based inside Mexico, with powers to independently investigate and prosecute atrocity crimes."--Page 4 of cover.
I Didn't Talk
The English-language debut of a master stylist: a compassionate but relentless novel about the long, dark harvest of Brazil’s totalitarian rule A professor prepares to retire—Gustavo is set to move from Sao Paulo to the countryside, but it isn’t the urban violence he’s fleeing: what he fears most is the violence of his memory. But as he sorts out his papers, the ghosts arrive in full force. He was arrested in 1970 with his brother-in-law Armando: both were vicariously tortured. He was eventually released; Armando was killed. No one is certain that he didn’t turn traitor: I didn’t talk, he tells himself, yet guilt is his lifelong harvest. I Didn’t Talk pits everyone against the ...

The Mosquito Bite Author
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.
