        Tetã Tekoha

        by Nhandewa, Alexandro; Yvoty, Ana Lúcia; Silva, Débora; Zamboni, Felipe; Sabino, Jaqueline; Tupã, Rodrigo; Pyntánh, Tiago; Matias, Uerique; Jacintho, Valéria; Queiroz, Yago

        Tetã Tekoha is a cry of resistance from ten young Guarani indigenous people, students at the State University of Londrina (UEL). Members of the Indigenous Word project, which sought to bring together and develop their authorship and their role, the students present first-person reports, with their own style - and a lot of emotion - in a search for affirmation of identity, ancestry and identification with both worlds: village and the city. From their experience at the university, where they study to deepen knowledge that may be useful to their people and question the invisibility and imposition of Western culture as unique, they want to show that they move between the worlds without abandoning their essence.

        Etenko y los patines maravillosos

        by Vicente García Oliva / Ester Sánchez

        La imagen que la literatura clásica vino dando de las niñas –y de las mujeres en general– no es sino el reflejo que la propia sociedad tiene de ellas: unos seres pasivos, secundarios, ajenos a la épica y al protagonismo reservado nada más para los varones. Este estereotipo sigue vigente todavía en tres cuartas partes del mundo, África, Asia, Latinoamérica, e incluso en ese llamado “primer mundo”, en el que el recorrido vital y profesional de las jóvenes sigue teniendo grandes obstáculos para poder llegar a lo más alto. Pese a ello, y de la mano de algunos grandes escritores y escritoras, también la literatura infantil y juvenil ofrece otros modelos de niñas listas, ocurrentes, innovadoras, contestatarias, luchadoras contra unos modos de vida que las minusvaloran. Alicia, Pippi, Matilda… podrían ser unos ejemplos de esas chicas que también quieren ser protagonistas de sus propias vidas y son capaces de salirse del papel que construyeron para ellas. Etenko sueña con patinar, con volar, con salirse de esa realidad que la empequeñece. Etenko sabe que hay que luchar contra muchas leyes, incluso contra esa que nos amarra a la tierra: la ley de la gravedad. Por eso los sueños de Etenko son tan importantes, porque la ayudan a construir otro mundo alternativo que, para que pueda existir, primero hay que imaginar. Etenko no necesita hablar para hacernos soñar a nosotros también.

        El Plan de Convivencia del Centro Educativo

        Pautas para su elaboración

        by Pedro Mª Uruñuela

        ¿Cómo puede un centro educativo actualizar su Plan de Convivencia? ¿Qué pasos son necesarios y en qué puntos debe fijarse? ¿Cómo puede trasladar los nuevos planteamientos al Documento de Organización de la Convivencia del propio centro?Tras un breve repaso a lo que es el Plan de Convivencia, su necesidad y objetivos fundamentales, el libro plantea un análisis del trabajo que está llevando a cabo el centro de cara a la convivencia. Y lo hace en torno a cuatro grandes temas.En primer lugar, la situación general, comprobando el grado de acuerdo sobre lo que se entiende por convivencia, el enfoque reactivo o proactivo de la misma y su presencia en los documentos institucionales, y en el día a día del centro. Seanalizan, en segundo lugar, las situaciones de quiebra de la convivencia que se están dando en el centro, desde el maltrato entre iguales hasta la violencia institucional, pasando por las conductas disruptivas y la violencia de género. En tercer lugar, se plantean cuatro actuaciones y trabajos imprescindibles para la convivencia, como son la gestión pacífica de conflictos, el protagonismo del alumnado y las familias, las normas y medidas correctoras, y el desarrollo de la inteligencia interpersonal o competencias necesarias para una convivencia positiva. Por último, se analizan los aspectos organizativos del Plan: las estructuras de apoyo, los tiempos y horarios, la elaboración del Plan y la formación del profesorado para todo ello.Cierra la obra un último capítulo dedicado a la elaboración y concreción del Documento de Organización de la Convivencia del centro, que es el resumen y concreción de todo lo tratado en el libro.Todos los capítulos cuentan con propuestas concretas de trabajo para poder analizar el desarrollo de cada apartado, valorar las alternativas y concretar las acciones que se recogerán en el Plan de Convivencia y en el Documento de Organización del Centro.

        Semióticas del cine y del audiovisual

        by Juan Alberto Conde, Torben Grodal,Buckland, Warren, Oakley, Todd, Odin, Roger. Echeverri Jaramillo, Andrea. Díaz Roa, César Augusto. Duarte, German A. Ríos, Diego Felipe. Finol, José Enrique. Finol, David Enrique. Corral Cuartas, Álvaro. Sosa, Diego Hernando.

        El presente volumen reúne una serie de textos escritos y publicados en las dos primeras décadas del siglo XXI, que abordan los problemas y objetos tradicionales de la semiótica fílmica y audiovisual, o que proponen nuevos objetos de indagación, nuevas preguntas. La primera parte está consagrada a las teorías generales, y en ella tiene preponderancia el denominado “giro cognitivo” de los estudios fílmicos, a partir de traducciones de textos inéditos en castellano: la teoría del flujo PECMA del investigador danés Torben Grodal; la semántica cognitiva aplicada a la interpretación audiovisual del británico Warren Buckland, o una nueva aproximación a la experiencia del espectador frente al dispositivo audiovisual por parte de Todd Oakley. En esta parte también se incluyen traducciones de dos textos de Roger Odin, pionero del enfoque semiopragmático, que permiten ver su pertinencia para abordar tanto problemas de la historia del cine y el audiovisual, como de sus manifestaciones contemporáneas.

        An Introduction to Christian Arab Literature

        by Pilar González Casado

        Since its very beginning, Christianity has been present in the Middle East. However, the rise of Islam toward the end of the seventh century and the political and linguistic dominion it exerted over that region has a deep impact on the area and the Christian communities. When Arabic became the language of culture, Christian authors adopted it in their writings. As a result of the ups and downs in their relation with Islam, there will be apocalyptic and apocryphal works in ancient Palestine monasteries, books by Melkite, Nestorian and Monophysite authors, dogmatic treatises and poetic compositions. Moreover, both the Bible and patristic, liturgical and hagiographical works were soon translated into Arabic.  This literary activity took place not only in major centers such as Damascus, Baghdad and Cairo, but also in farther areas like Al-Andalus.

        Lugares, recorridos y sentidos de la memoria histórica: Acercamientos metodológicos

        by Laura Fonseca Durán, Diana Vernot, Tatiana Rojas Roa, Laura Giraldo Martínez, Edwin Corena Puentes, David J. Luquetta Cediel

        This book is an initiative of the Regional Groups of Historical Memory (GRMH), which, together with the National Center for Historical Memory since 2013, generated proposals for the construction of historical memory in Colombia. The objective of the consolidation of the GRMH has been to recognize local research processes carried out by university professors to build bridges between the country's institutions and communities victimized in the framework of the internal armed conflict in Colombia.   Although the participatory social research bets are nourished by multiple edges, disciplines, and schools of thought, there are methodological peculiarities in the investigations that are formulated in the key of historical memory that, on this occasion, are transversal and are deepened in each chapter.

        Away Days

        by Álvaro de Grado

        There is no better journalism than the one that is done on the ground, there is no better literature than the one that takes us far from home and there is no better passion than the one that is breathed in the stands during a football match in England. Álvaro de Grado made a decision in 2013 that changed his life: moving to Manchester. This book is the journey of someone who, from that day on, always plays as a visitor. It is the x-ray of a unique way of feeling football that emerges in the Premier League stadiums but also in the most modest fields. This book does not give news, it narrates the adventures and misadventures of a correspondent. It tells stories about a land and a people to whom the ball owes everything.

        A trip through Italy thanks to football

        by Toni Padilla

        This trip through Italy is not intended to arrive as soon as possible. The guide is Toni Padilla, who, accompanied by a ball, and based on themes such as death, music, cheese or stickers, is impregnated with the country's double soul. Here are the majestic Italy and the Italy massacred by prejudices, lying on this journey from north to south and from east to west. The raw material of the stories, which are only on the author's radar, are the walks through the homeland of Benito Mussolini, Rafaella Carrà or Francesco Totti. Its pages are a map where memories are celebrated and goals are savored. Written with detailed prose and a leisurely gaze, they seem from another era, now that we don't have time for everything. But calcium is in no rush to get off this train.

        TIEMPO DE MUJERES. LITERATURA, EDAD Y ESCRITURA FEMENINA.

        by ALMELA BOIX, Margarita; GUZMÁN GARCÍA, Helena; SANFILIPPO, Marina; ZAMORANO RUEDA, Ana Isabel

        Dado el momento demográfico que vivimos, la colección de volúmenes sobre literatura y mujer, de la UNED, no podía dejar pasar la oportunidad de reflexionar sobre ese gran componente identitario que es la edad. Ésta, aunque fenómeno biológico, se interpreta socialmente y se articula en las estructuras de poder que gobiernan y definen las vidas tanto de hombres como de mujeres (y no solo en ese último tramo de la vida que tanto interés despierta últimamente). Como locus político donde se asienta lo que una mujer "debe" ser, es decir su "valor" social y cultural asociado a sus papeles de género, la edad presenta un fructífero campo de investigación para los estudios de la mujer.Los distintos capítulos del presente volumen constituyen un novedoso y original estudio y una reflexión sobre la representación literaria de las mujeres y sus edades.

        Borges in Stockholm

        A fiction that dismantles the bad habits of postmodernity.

        by Sonia Dalton

        Winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the ambition of any self-respecting writer. Especially when he risks the glory of being the first to receive it in his country. After appearing in the favorites lists for several years, it seems that César Aira's time has come to enjoy that moment and that condition.   This fiction narrates the vicissitudes of the writer's journey from Buenos Aires to Stockholm, his dreamy stay in the Nordic city and his return to an Argentina where he is not expected. In the end, the 2024 Nobel Prize for Literature seems to have been awarded to the Eldense writer, with a Galician pedigree, Cesárea Areas.   Through an extensive play on words, this parody tries to dismantle the remnants of postmodernity still in force in the literary and academic worlds. The key is humor, which, in order to be so, cannot fail to be corrosive. Also tenderness, because beneath the greatest ambitions the most insignificant motivations are usually to be found.   It will please whoever manages to laugh, without guilt (or with it), at the most deeply rooted vices on the altars of culture and at the most recalcitrant social stereotypes. In short, whoever wants to take a walk through the nonsense, lift the cobblestones of postmodernity and peek at whatever may be underneath. A new normal?

        El torneo que reconcilió a un continente

        by Miguel L. Pereira

        As Paul Auster once said, football is the miracle that allowed Europe to hate itself without destroying itself. The ball has done more than any other political project for brotherhood in a land too used to fighting with itself. After each conflict, it was necessary for the ball to be there to make the continent a space of union and not a perpetual trench. For this reason, every time the European Championship is held, there is a part of the world that looks into each other's eyes and shakes hands. For this reason, when we write about the 60 years of history of this emblematic tournament, we are really drawing our memories, our fears and our desires as Europeans. Because the dreams of Delaunay, Panenka, Charisteas, Aragonés or Éder are also our dreams.
