Dr. Julio Quesada Martín. Filosofía como paradigma educativo para la ciudadanía en el contexto democrático liberal. El autor habla de filosofía y ciudadanía y entra al diálogo con Aristóteles, Kant, y Ortega y Gasset. Los tres graves pecados capitales de un sistema democrático serían la pobreza, la falta de libertad y la ignorancia. Afirmar lo contrario es insensato. En este sentido la filosofía tiene muchas cosas que decir. No es de extrañar que la filosofía sea en buena medida el animal a combatir. El autor critica todo pensamiento totalitario, empezando por Platón, y se pone de lado de lo frágil, lo vulnerable, lo cambiante. (Xipe totek) (ITESO) (Universidad ITESO)
Based on a decade of field research, this work is the first book-length, scholarly examination in English of the role of Catholicism in Mexican society since the 1970s through 1995, and the increasing political activism of the Catholic church and clergy. It is also the first analysis of church-state relations in Latin America that incorporates detailed interviews of numerous bishops and clergy and leading politicians about how they see each other and how religion influences their values. It is also the first analysis of the Mexican Catholic Church which uses national survey research to examine Mexican attitudes toward religion, Christianity, and Catholicism, and provides the first inside look at the decision-making process of bishops at the diocesan level.
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.
El 21 de septiembre falleció el Dr. Jorge Manzano, SJ, director y fundador de la revista Xipe totek (https://xipetotek.iteso.mx). Con su partida han sido muchos sentimientos y emociones que se han suscitado en quienes convivimos y trabajamos con él. De todas las personas con las que Jorge se topó en la vida, él quiso rescatar lo bello, lo espiritual, lo mejor. En este número que le dedicamos, varias voces de alumnos, compañeros y amigos nos presentan distintos testimonios de admiración y agradecimiento. Además, incluimos un texto de su propia voz, en el que Jorge mismo hace una breve narración autobiográfica en la que nos manifiesta desde su fe, que fue el Espíritu quien lo llevó a experimentar situaciones y encuentros inesperados en los que surgieron profundos sentimientos de fraternidad y amor.

Here is an authoritative reference work that makes biographies of prominent Mexican national politicians from the period 1884–1934 available in English. Like the author's biographical directory for the years 1935–2009, it draws on many years of research in Mexico and the United States and seeks not only to provide accurate biographical information about each entry but also, where possible and appropriate, to connect these politicians to more recent leadership generations. Thus, Mexican Political Biographies, 1884-1934 not only is a useful historical source but also provides additional information on the family backgrounds of many contemporary figures. The work includes those figures who ...
'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.
