La Pandemia de gripa de 1918 - 1920. Un análisis histórico de lo global a lo local
La reciente pandemia de COVID-19 ha sido un recordatorio doloroso sobre la manera como una enfermedad infectocontagiosa puede llegar a doblegar a poblaciones enteras, arruinar economías y profundizar las inequidades sociales en un mundo globalizado. Ahora bien, su poder de evocación no tiene que ver tanto con la virulencia de un agente etiológico específico y su relación con la respuesta inmunológica de las poblaciones, sino sobre todo con la forma cómo algunos modelos civilizatorios, basa- dos en la acumulación y la desigualdad, pueden configurar dinámicas económicas, sociales, políticas, ambientales, biológicas y culturales que favorecen el desarrollo de fenómenos devastadores...

Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
