Sociedades, artes y conflicto
Los textos reunidos en este libro buscan entender la manera en que diferentes manifestaciones artísticas han afrontado el dolor de la violencia y el drama de quienes le sobreviven --o le sobrevivimos--; si hay un tema que ha ocupado a los creadores artísticos desde hace más de medio siglo es justamente los asuntos de la violencia, en todas sus manifestaciones: política, urbana, cotidiana, contra los niños, contra las mujeres, etc. El conflicto armado por su parte ha concentrado la atención de la mayor parte de ellos, y es preciso mencionar, que desde hace un tiempo el compromiso de los artistas ha estado del lado de las víctimas. Ciertamente entender el arte es una tarea muy compleja y para muchos un ejercicio innecesario, este libro es parte de esa controversia, ya el lector dará su juicio. En todo caso, lo que en absoluto es un ejercicio insubstancial es la reflexión de los artistas sobre la sociedad, sobre sus logros y miserias, quizá sea la única manera de reivindicar a quienes quedaron vivos "sudando hielo", quizá sea la única manera de recordarlos, quizá sea la única forma de salvaguardar la memoria de quienes tan fácilmente han sido olvidados por la historia.
Jaime Marchán. Homo viator
La exhaustividad y la erudición de este ensayo van más allá de la habitual crítica literaria. Son varias las razones de su ejemplaridad. Así las resume su prologuista, Wilfrido H. Corral: “Quizá la primera es dedicarse a la literatura ecuatoriana, que en este momento tiene a varios prosistas de la generación de Marchán o las inmediatamente posteriores que se expresan, con vehemencia y no sin razón, acerca de la ‘invisibilidad’ de la expresión literaria nacional, dentro y sobre todo fuera del Ecuador. Esa condición, bien demuestra Hagen-Melo, también es un asunto de autopercepción defensiva, además de la bien examinada acogida de la literatura ‘menor’ o ‘pequeña’ ...
Mammalian Brain Development
Denis Noble Nearly a decade after completion of the first draft of the entire Human Genome sequence we are in a better position to assess the nature and the consequences of that heroic achievement, which can be seen as the culmination of the molecular biological revolution of the second half of the twentieth century. The achievement itself was celebrated at the highest levels (President and Prime Minister) on both sides of the Atlantic, and rightly so. DNA sequencing has become sufficiently c- mon now, even to the extent of being used in law courts, that it is easy to forget how technically difficult it was and how cleverly the sequencing teams solved those problems in the exciting race to f...

Euroscepticism, Democracy and the Media
This volume focuses on the relationship between the media and European democracy, as important factors of EU legitimacy. The contributors show how the media play a crucial role in making European governance accountable, and how it can act as an intermediate link between citizens and their elected and unelected representatives. The book focuses on widespread levels of Euroscepticism and the contemporary European crisis. The authors present empirical studies which problematize the role of traditional media coverage on EU attitudes. Comparisons are also drawn between traditional and new media in their influence on Euroscepticism. Furthermore, the authors analyse the impact of the internet and social media as new arenas in which Eurosceptic claims and positions can be made visible, as well as being a medium used by political parties and populist movements which contest Europe and its politics and policies. Euroscepticism, Democracy and the Media will be of interest to students and scholars with an interest in European politics, political parties, interest groups, social movements and political sociology.
