Jerusalem Review (Jerusalem Review, número 7)
by _Gabriel Moked
Jerusalem Review (Jerusalem Review, número 7) Redactor: Gabriel Moked «Poemas de Yehuda Amijai, Rajel, Maya Bejerano y Moshé Dor, relatos de Yoram Kaniuk y Arié Stav, ensayos de A.B. Yehoshua y Gabriel Moked y una entrevista a Naguib Mahfouz, todo ello traducido al inglés, son los puntos destacados del nuevo número de la revista de literatura y cultura hebrea, «The Jerusalem Review» que acaba de publicarse. Este número contiene 240 páginas, algunas con textos en inglés y el resto con traducciones. Esta publicación se distribuye a abonados en Israel y en el extranjero, a bibliotecas de judaica de todo el mundo y a revistas literarias y escritores judíos y no judíos de destaque. El comité de redacción del número 7 de «The Jerusalem Review» incluye algunos de los mejores escritores y miembros del mundo académico en Israel y en el extranjero. En concordancia con el marco ideológico básico de la revista, publicamos en ella traducciones al inglés de textos en hebreo postbíblico de todas las épocas. Así, se puede encontrar en ella poemas de poetas israelíes modernos, junto con Abraham Ibn Ezra y Berl Pomerantz (un poeta judío de la época anterior al Holocausto). La sección de prosa incluye una larga novela de Yoram Kaniuk y memorias del Holocausto de Arié Stav. Otra sección incluye obras de escritores judíos de Estados Unidos y de Gran Bretaña, como Paul Oppenheimer, Alicia Ostriker, Mark Strand, Elaine Feinstein y Charles Bernstein. Debido a la decisión del redactor de dar el podio, en cada uno de los números de la «Review», a un poeta o escritor no judío que desea mantener un diálogo con la historia y la cultura judeo-israelí y con la literatura hebrea, optamos por incluir en este número poemas traducidos del polaco al inglés, de uno de los poetas y escritores polacos más famosos en la actualidad, Krzysztof Karasek. La sección de ensayos incluye un ensayo en gran escala de Amos Funkenstein sobre La teología frente al Holocausto, así como ensayos de A. B. Yehoshua y Gabriel Moked sobre la identidad judía e israelí. Junto a estas secciones, la Review también incluye una sección de Oriente Medio con una entrevista realizada hace algunos años al Premio Nobel egipcio Naguib Mahfouz, sumamente pertinente para las relaciones actuales entre Israel y Egipto y los demás países árabes. Esta sección también incluye poemas de dos poetas israelíes drusos, Naim Araidi y Nazi H'ir y una traducción de poemas del gran poeta y místico sufí persa, Yalal el-Din Rumi. La importancia de The Jerusalem Review radica, entre otras cosas, en que es un representante destacado del mundo cultural y literario de la cultura judía en general y de Israel en particular y que contraataca los interminables esfuerzos por socavar la legitimidad cultural del pueblo judío y de Israel.

Identidad perdida – Una novela dramática
by Hadassa Ashdot
Identidad perdida – Una novela dramática por Hadassa Ashdot Identidad perdida es una novela conmovedora que cuenta la historia de tres generaciones de hombres y mujeres. A través de los ojos y los relatos de cada uno, una trama escalofriante se desarrolla por diferentes espacios de tiempos, en Israel y en el extranjero. ?Pero sobre quién es esta historia? ?Es acaso sobre el héroe israelí, el agente secreto bajo tapadera diplomática, cuya vida gira en torno a la encrucijada entre una operación de "capa y puñal" o entre cualquier otra misión, siempre ‘en el nombre de’, siempre por la causa? ?O es acaso sobre una mujer, la que brinda la vida, quien vive bajo la sombra de los hombres de su vida: su padre, marido, hijo, amigos y amantes? En el aniversario del fallecimiento de su hijo Uri, un piloto de combate que perdió su vida en una de la muchas batallas de Israel, Marit, se queda sola después de que los invitados se van, reconsidera su vida y las personas significativas que toman parte en ella: Hanoch, su marido oficial de inteligencia, incapaz de enfrentar la perdida de su hijo, la ha abandonado; y Uri, el hijo fallecido, que fue acostado y atado a un altar de sacrificio, como padres israelíes inspirados por el sentido de la causa y el heroísmo, sacrifican a sus hijos por la patria. A causa de que Marit conoce personalmente la muerte y el luto, en el encuentro colectivo, transmite oscuridad, una realidad israelí heroica de amor y muerte – Eros y Thánatos. Esta es una historia de amor: el apasionado amor entre un hombre y una mujer; el amor a un país que causa muerte; el amor afectuoso de los padres por su hijo, que resulta ser un amor que lo mata y a ellos también. Es también una historia sobre la muerte, y el fracaso de ese amor desesperado. Psicóloga y profesora de universidad Hadassa Ashdot nació en Tel Aviv y creció en Jerusalén. Sus cuentos cortos han aparecido en dos revistas literarias destacadas, Moznayim y Prosa. Hasta la fecha, Ashdot ha publicado dos novelas (en hebreo): Identidad perdida y Marianne de la nieve. La experiencia de la autora como psicóloga del ejercito que enfrenta el luto a causa de las guerras y problemas asociados con traumas a causa de neurosis de guerra, son reflejados claramente en sus trabajos de ficción.

Alberto Edjogo-Owono, international with Equatorial Guinea, makes his debut in the literary world trying to discover where this indomitable land gets the strength to rise up after everything was taken from it.

Lifestyle, Sport & LeisureJune 2022Perder
by Francisco Cabezas
Carlos García is told in the newspaper that his name is too common. For this reason, when he begins to write the chronicles of FC Barcelona, he signs as K. Behind the mask of the pseudonym, the student who dreamed of newsrooms engulfed in smoke and screams at closing time begins his promising career without having left university. But dreams are seldom made of real material. Between football stadiums, ballpoint pen caps and lonely hotel rooms, K. imposes on himself a happiness that he will never own. The rise and fall of a legendary team, the decrepitude of a profession that only finds refuge in the big headlines and some journalists who hide behind their screens set a chronicle of chronicles in which the final result remains to be discovered. Soccer players, journalism or K. Who will accept the final defeat?

10 ciudades europeas a través de sus derbis

Two friends travel to ten European cities (Istanbul, Belfast, Belgrade, Sheffield...) to narrate and photograph them, and use football as their gateway and common thread. Because the king of sports is an instrument as effective as any other to delve into the political, social, economic and cultural reality of a place.

Lifestyle, Sport & LeisureApril 2021Sueños de la Euro
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.

Geography & the EnvironmentChile geopoético
by Miguel Laborde
Esta publicación reúne veintiocho columnas del investigador, académico y escritor Miguel Laborde, con ilustraciones de Alejandra Acosta, publicadas en la revista La Panera. Sus textos dan cuenta de una serie de datos geográficos e históricos que permiten asomarse a ciertos rasgos distintivos de Chile desde los cuales se construye un relato del imaginario local. La geopoética como concepto nace como una herramienta para comprender y expresar nuestra relación con el mundo y el pensar a la Tierra. Considera la cultura como el modo en el que los seres humanos se conciben a sí mismos y se organizan y orientan. “Desde el punto de vista literario, un libro como este, que corrió el riesgo de ser concebido por la vía de la protesta en un lenguaje de pura comunicación, es, por el contrario, un libro poético, de excelente prosa, de gran riqueza de imágenes y sorpresas de lógica e ilógica. Su crítica al modelo de civilización vigente es lapidaria, pero de un furor contenido”. Gastón Soublette

90 partidos. 90 autores. 90 relatos
by David García Cames, Miguel Ángel Ortiz and Marcel Beltran
Football breaks down all doors, including those of literature. Contrary to popular belief, there are many writers who at some point were attracted by the mystery of the goal or the fervor of the stands. The ball sneaks into the work and life of authors who have built bridges between these two apparently dissociated worlds. From Marguerite Duras to Eduardo Galeano, passing through Albert Camus, Roberto Bolaño, Svetlana Aleksiévich or Federico García Lorca. This book is 90 games that were played one day. This book is made up of 90 stories, halfway between the chronicle and the tale, with which tribute is paid to 90 extraordinary creators who have influenced our way of understanding football.

Lifestyle, Sport & LeisureFebruary 2022Away 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.

Lifestyle, Sport & LeisureJune 2021Prórroga
by Antonio Agredano
“In a world of winners, defeat is a kind of dissidence. Losing is not a romantic exercise, it hurts like a stepfather, but you learn. All victories are alike, but each defeat is similar in its own way; There are many ways to cry, but everyone drinks champagne the same way. This is not a football book. Not only. Because in football there is room for a life”. Julián Bellón, at the age of 40, returns to Córdoba due to the death of his father. That loss will drag him to his childhood, to his neighborhood, to the bars and to the people who saw him grow up, the last place of armored happiness before his life twisted and fell into a spiral of self-destruction. The boy who became a goalkeeper still dreaming of scoring a goal, the young man who later became a professional goalkeeper, today is a broken man cornered by memories of him. Is there time for redemption before the final whistle?

Lifestyle, Sport & LeisureNovember 2021Iker Muniain
Un balón, un escudo, una vida
by Patxi Xabier Fernández
Passionate, rebellious, non-conformist, rascal, fighter, referent. Faithful to some colors. There are many ways to define Iker Muniain, but only one to know the person who hides behind the footballer. “That boy with curly hair glued to a ball”, as Joaquín Caparrós recalls, the coach who made him debut at the age of 15, has already spent more than a decade making history with the Athletic Club shirt. This book tells how fame came to him as a teenager, how he fought off two serious knee injuries, how he became captain of his dream team, and how he snuck into a final dressed incognito. A journey through a unique life, in which pain and defeat are mixed with success and happiness. Very few know what elite football is like inside; In this authorized biography, Iker dares to tell it.

May 2020Antropología del astronauta cotidiano
by José Alejandro Polanco Contreras
Desde la perspectiva de la antropología médica, este libro describe las condiciones de vida de las personas que llevan dispositivos médicos al cuerpo que pueden hacerlos parecer en cierto modo cyborgs, debido a esa simbiosis entre el ser humano y la tecnología. El lector encontrará historias de vida de personas de diversas condiciones sociales y económicas que tienen en común su condición de "astronauta de la vida diaria", término adoptado por el autor para nombrar a aquellas personas que, por circunstancias de su vida, fueron "lanzadas" en la complejidad de vivir con una ostomía. El libro describe la perspectiva médica del problema, así como las tecnologías y dispositivos que se han desarrollado para el cuidado de las ostomías y que han ayudado a esas personas a llevar una vida plenamente funcional.

Ceremonias de lo invisible
by David Oubiña
How to apprehend what cannot be seen with an artifact that only captures the evident movement of things? asks David Oubiña, defiantly. Ceremonias de lo invisible proposes to the reader to think of cinema. No longer as a device of representation, but as a machine capable of perceiving the limits of experience, where cinematographic images lose their character of transparency to enter into dilemmas and tensions of reality. In this book, death will be considered as mass annihilation or as an individual and coincidental accident. Both concepts, inverted and complementary, are reviewed by the author in two short essays that are shown in the films Shoah (Claude Lanzmann, 1985) and Ugetsu, The tales of the wave after the rain moon (Kenji Mizoguchi, 1953). David Oubiña has a PhD in Literature from University of Buenos Aires (UBA) and majored in Cinema at the same institution. He has been a visiting researcher at the University of London and a visiting professor at the University of Bergen, New York University and University of California, Berkeley. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the magazines Las Ranas (arte, ensayo y traducción) and Revista de cine. He has received grants from the Fulbright Commission, the British Council, Fundación Antorchas and Argentine National Endowment for the Arts. In 2006, he received a Guggenheim Fellowship. He has published the books: Filmología. Ensayos con el cine (2000, First Essay Award of the Argentine National Endowment for the Arts); El cine de Hugo Santiago (2002); Jean-Luc Godard: el pensamiento del cine (2003); Estudio crítico sobre La ciénaga, de Lucrecia Martel (2007); Una juguetería filosófica: Cine, cronofotografía y arte digital (2009) and El silencio y sus bordes. Modos de lo extremo en la literatura y el cine (2011, Third National Essay Award).
