January 2019El río
by Débora Mundani
Los días de Horacio transcurren en el Delta del Paraná. Poco antes de morir, su madre le pide un último favor: ser enterrada en su pueblo natal, el punto limítrofe entre las provincias de Entre Ríos y Corrientes. Con el fin de cumplir su palabra, Horacio remonta el río abierto por primera vez. Un viaje fluvial que parecerá no terminar nunca, ni tener sentido, cuando la naturaleza se le imponga con violencia. Hasta que en medio de las aguas, un encuentro inesperado obligará a Horacio a repasar su identidad y su historia. Con el Paraná como protagonista, Débora Mundani se adentra en este río implacable que traza la vida de mujeres, hombres y pueblos que nacen a sus orillas. Horacio's days pass in the Paraná Delta. Shortly before he died, his mother asked him for one last favor: to be buried in his hometown, the border point between the provinces of Entre Ríos and Corrientes. In order to keep his word, Horacio goes up the open river for the first time. A river journey that will never seem to end, or make sense, when nature is violently imposed on it. Until in the middle of the waters, an unexpected encounter forces Horacio to review his identity and his history. With Paraná River as the protagonist, Débora Mundani enters this implacable river that traces the lives of women, men and peoples that are born on its shores.

Sociology & anthropologyMarch 2020Tetã 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.

Cybernetics & systems theoryScience of Synthesis
Exploring the Social Implications of General Systems Theory
by Debora Hammond
This book explores the development of general systems theory and the individuals who gathered together around that idea to form the Society for General Systems Research. In examining the life and work of the SGSR's five founding members -- Ludwig von Bertalanffy, Kenneth Boulding, Ralph Gerard, James Grier Miller, and Anatol Rapoport -- Hammond traces the emergence of systems ideas across a broad range of disciplines in the mid-twentieth century. A metaphor and a framework, the systems concept as articulated by its earliest proponents highlights relationship and interconnectedness among the biological, ecological, social, psychological, and technological dimensions of our increasingly complex lives. Seeking to transcend the reductionism and mechanism of classical science -- which they saw as limited by its focus on the discrete, component parts of reality -- the general systems community hoped to complement this analytic approach with a more holistic approach. As one of many systems traditions, the general systems group was specifically interested in fostering collaboration and integration between different disciplinary perspectives. The book documents a unique episode in the history of modern thought, one that remains relevant today. This book will be of interest to historians of science, system theorists, and scholars in such fields as cybernetics and system dynamics.
