Village of the Ghost Bells
In the village of the ghost bells, the church chimes ring—even though the church has no bells. One of the neighbors wants to buy dreams—or is she a dream that someone else is dreaming? Where and why do dreams become nightmares? These are only some of the fascinating questions raised in Village of the Ghost Bells, Edla Van Steen’s second novel. First published in 1983 as Coraçôes mordidos, the novel tells the story of the would-be utopian community built on an old plantation of the outskirts of São Paulo, Brazil. Its atmosphere is dreamlike, often verging on the supernatural, and strange events signal the transformation of the utopian dream into a nightmare. Ultimately destroyed by greed, corruption, and exploitation, the community becomes a microcosm of the Brazilian socioeconomic system, in which it takes all of a person’s warmth, idealism, passion, and humor to survive the bleak environment.

Subcommander Marcos
Subcommander Marcos made his debut on the world stage on January 1, 1994, the day the North American Free Trade Agreement took effect. At dawn, from a town-hall balcony he announced that the Zapatista Army of National Liberation had seized several towns in the Mexican state of Chiapas in rebellion against the government; by sunset Marcos was on his way to becoming the most famous guerrilla leader since Che Guevara. Subsequently, through a succession of interviews, communiqués, and public spectacles, the Subcommander emerged as a charismatic spokesperson for the indigenous Zapatista uprising and a rallying figure in the international anti-globalization movement. In this, the first English-la...

Reflexiones en torno al taller de proyecto
El análisis, la composición y la representación son elementos primordiales en la reflexión arquitectónica y para quienes estudian arquitectura. Reflexiones en torno al taller de proyecto. Apuntes para estudiantes presenta la experiencia acumulada de los talleres de proyectos del Departamento de Arquitectura de la Universidad de los Andes, que, aunque se han modificado con el tiempo, siguen teniendo contenidos y propósitos vigentes en cada espacio donde se ejerza el acto de proyectar. En su base más pragmática, este libro busca acompañar los ejercicios proyectuales que desarrolla cualquier estudiante de arquitectura. Es un libro de texto para el taller y se propone como una guía sobre algunas preguntas comunes en la formación, que además motivan la inclusión de la tectónica, el habitar y el lugar como elementos fundamentales del ejercicio.
Imperio vs. Multitud. El problema de la biopolítica y la formación
Este libro constituye un debate en torno a la obra Imperio de Michael Hardt y Antoni Negri. El lector encuentra en él una amplia discusión a partir de nociones particulares que se desprenden de ella, en relación con asuntos propios del debate contemporáneo de la biopolítica. Las nuevas semánticas han posibilitado la configuración de subjetividad en la amplitud del concepto de imperio. Por esto, el lenguaje implica la permanente producción de sentido que nunca termina, pues el debate que se presenta en esta publicación muestra cómo en la sociedad actual no solo se producen mercancías materiales, sino, también, bienes inmateriales (afectos, solidaridad, cooperación, sentimientos, entre otros) que afectan la relación inherente entre resistencia e imperio.
Breakfast in Bogota
Bogotá, 1947. British architect Luke Vosey has left his past behind to undertake a commission for Anglo-Colombian Oil in South America. For Luke, this new venture seems to offer the chance to start again. But grieving and ashamed of his role in the war, he cannot run from the past or from his nightmares. Luke finds distraction with the whores of Las Cruces and in the friendship of a young newspaper journalist – and finally with Felisa, a young draughtswoman with a passion for politics. Through her, Luke comes to understand the true broken mood of the people of Colombia, with the country teetering on the brink of civil war. Then a bloody assassination on the streets of the capital sees everything he’s worked for destroyed. As the mob tears the city to shreds, and Luke’s past is unveiled, can he survive to save others?
