Refeudalization and the Crisis of Civilization
Discussing the civilizatory crisis and processes of refeudalization this volume brings into dialogue two of the most creative approaches, in Olaf Kaltmeier and Edgardo Lander, to rethink capitalism in the 21st century. In Part 1, Olaf Kaltmeier, takes issue with the state of social inequality in the region, highlighting the concentration of wealth within the upper 1% of society in Latin America. Comparing the current economic situation with the ancient regime, the discussion centers around the new phenomena like billionaires as president, increased luxury consumption, an emerging culture of distinction, and the intensification of land and spatial segregation. In Part 2, Lander urgently asses...

Trece historias lectoras entre la academia y la ficción
Iniciar este proyecto implicaba una serie de retos, como convencer a los lectores-escritores de contarnos parte de su vida, la relacionada con la lectura. Además de abrir nuestro espacio íntimo debíamos recorrer un camino poco explorado, el de la introspección, y valorar qué contar, a qué darle un valor significativo en nuestra biografía y recorrer nuestras vivencias para responder: ¿qué me hizo ser lector? La reflexión de una de las autoras es que nosotros somos académicos y, por lo tanto, solemos ser lectores. Esto es cierto, desde luego, pero no invalida el hecho mismo de haber decidido dedicarnos a una actividad que precisamente está sostenida en la lectura. En la vida hay un sinfín de decisiones que tomamos y, entre otras, quienes aquí escribimos no solo leemos por motivos laborales, sino que disfrutamos de la literatura o del periódico igual que de los libros académicos, de donde inferimos que la lectura, en nuestras vidas, es algo más que circunstancial y que resulta fascinante descubrir cuál o cuáles fueron los principales motores que nos impulsaron para que una parte de nuestro placer esté precisamente en leer.
Comunicar ciencia en México. Fundamentos, estudios y experiencias (De la academia al espacio público)
Este libro representa un nuevo hito en la consolidación de los estudios sobre comunicación, ciencia y cultura en América Latina ya que articula un extenso intercambio de voces expertas que nutren la reflexión y el debate colectivo sobre el conocimiento tecnocientífico y su comunicación pública. En este quinto volumen de la colección De la academia al espacio público, se evidencian los modos en que la comunicación pública de la ciencia se ha desplazado del conocimiento científico en sí mismo, para centrarse en la comprensión y puesta en común de las muy complejas y diversas problemáticas que impactan la vida social y natural.
