        Las cosas de Orozco siempre piensan de otra manera (Orozco’s Objects Always Think Otherwise)

        by Manuel Marín, José Clemente Orozco

        “José Clemente Orozco realized that objects and animals see us with other faces, and he drew the sensations produced by these gazes, as seen in his sketches in this book,” says Marín. Orozco paints objects, shows that they are useful artifacts for seeing things like sensations. They are rare, and their uses aren’t what they should be.

        by Matías Argumánez

        Durante la función de la vida, no hay guión que no se improvise. Cuando se levanta el telón de las pasiones, cada cual se procura un palco de primera haciendo de su imaginación el único escenario factible, donde la ovación final se alce sobre las dificultades ... y sea posible.   No hay mayor blasfemia que la de mancillar las caderas cubriéndolas con telas de miedo, ni límite que pueda restringir la insolencia de quien se viste de conocimiento. No puede darse cuenta de belleza que en equilibrio con la verdad no haga de la sensualidad su método, ni existe peor pudor que el de permanecer ante la calidez, siendo hielo. No cabe sutileza más nítida que la de pasearse desnuda de prejuicios ante los rebuznos del pueblo, ni erotismo más elevado que el de insinuar la piel bajo la trama de la que se viste el deseo.     Creemos firmemente, como Gil de Biedma: Que la vida iba en serio .

        28 cosas que debes saber sobre los ángeles

        by Díaz Latorre, José Ignacio

        In the spring of 2018 I was writing my second novel, "The Guardian of Omu", which by now and doing an exercise in temporal mysticism, I hope and wish that it has become a recognized "best seller". I was about a third of concluding the aforementioned novel, when one morning I dream, and I say exactly dream, with a rather vague scene in which the idea of ​​writing about the essence of angels materializes in my mind. It is at that moment when I regain consciousness and awake, but I decide to continue thinking about that dream, more than anything else because of the curiosity and exceptional nature of the event. I sing a sweet dream again, more than a dream, sleep it, I would say. In that diffuse period of space-time, I see clearly, as if it were a data transfer, a script of content that appears to my knowledge. A succession of clear and unequivocal ideas that I had never thought to ask myself before, and all of them, referring to the subject at hand here.At that moment I decide to get out of bed and sit in front of my computer. Approximately 60 minutes later I have written that dream or received script, or what do I know. After writing it all in a row, I decide to read it carefully and immediately afterwards I see that it really is the script of ideas that I must develop without wasting any more time. At that moment I decide to slice it and use it as an index.It is exactly the index of this book.

        Liderazgo centrado en la persona

        La propuesta de Carlos Llano

        by Murcio Rodríguez, Ricardo

        La tarea de dirigir tiene un lugar preponderante en la empresa. Carlos Llano fue pionero en el estudio de la acción directiva, en un contexto que ya buscaba una renovación en las teorías del management. Para Llano, la dirección de empresas –y, por lo tanto, de las personas que en ellas laboran– no puede reducirse a un sistema, sino que debe respetar la naturaleza física, espiritual, racional y libre de todo ser humano. Con robustas bases antropológicas, Llano plantea un nuevo modelo de gestión basado en la flexibilidad y la participación, que hace de la empresa un lugar de desarrollo de la persona que contribuye a la construcción de una mejor sociedad. Llano vislumbró que este nuevo paradigma requiere un nuevo estilo de liderazgo, uno que –centrado en la persona– concibe la dirección como un servicio. Este libro rastrea los fundamentos teóricos de su propuesta. Carlos Llano ha sido el pensador que mejor ha sabido integrar filosofía y management. A través de los conceptos perennes de la filosofía, nos ofreció una perspectiva única y genuina de la dirección de empresas. En este libro, Ricardo Murcio nos desmenuza el pensamiento de su profesor y maestro, y nos vuelve a recordar que el centro de la actividad empresarial y de la toma de decisiones deben ser las personas (Joan Fontrodona, IESE Business School).

        Enseñemos paz, aprendamos paz: la pedagogía al servicio de la cohesión social

        by Juan David Enciso

        Peace is an idea, an abstract concept, which must be grounded in concrete realities. And building peace involves moving from an initial state, which may or may not be conflict, to a second moment in which people have learned to know, relate, meet, and live together.   This book tries to elaborate on the construction of peace from an educational process, in which individuals learn to recognize themselves as subjects of equal dignity and with the capacity to carry out projects oriented to the common good. Similarly, educational settings, the so-called learning environments, are not confined exclusively to the walls of the classroom or the boundaries of formal education institutions: peace education occurs in any environment in which two or more coincide. people with potential conflicts of interest or collective construction.

        Outside of time

        by Silvia Bardelás

        "Destiempo is a song to the fight for internal revolutions and the desire to free ourselves from the vital ropes that bind us." - Armando Requeixo. Diario cultural. Radio Galega   Destiempo illuminates the we as the truly human space. An older woman asks her grandson to come back to Galicia from the United States to spend the summer with her. She wants him to attend a kind of social fight that she is carrying out with her friends. They look for action as the only thing that can give meaning to their lives. Silvia Bardelás mixes different generations that share the same problem: the weight of a standardized world, full of discourses, oblivious to vitality. The possibility of feeling alive and real again makes everything move in an unstoppable way. The story is a coming and going of past and present, of ideas and actions that reveal the silent social power and the inner need to feel free. Destiempo (Outside of time) is a community novel. Beyond individuality, beyond the group is the we, which can only emerge genuinely when individuals become singular beings, when they become aware of the myths, the ideology, the discourses that have dominated their lives and those of their ancestors.   The narrator puts the focus on the interrelation. He lights up scenes where the characters discover themselves through others.
