Leonore Mau traveled for almost two decades with the writer Hubert Fichte to research Afrodiasporic religions. Her photographs remained largely unpublished. They present us with challenges: What does it mean to look at them todayafter debates about representation and the treatment of artistic ethnographic photographs?

"Con motivo de la celebración del vigésimo aniversario de su fundación, el Instituto de Democracia y Derechos Humanos de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (IDEHPUCP) ofrece en este volumen una amplia reflexion sobre el sinuoso itinerario seguido por la democracia peruana durante este siglo, desde los tiempos prometedores de la transicion politica, que hoy parecen lejanos, hasta la agobiante actualidad. Se trata, al mismo tiempo, de un testimonio y de una llamada de alerta. En nuestra trayectoria se reflejan, de un lado, los esfuerzos de la sociedad por consolidar la democracia o por asentar una cultura de los derechos humanos y, del otro, la incesante lucha por defender esas conquistas y por evitar retrocesos.El volumen recoge las reflexiones de los directores del Instituto y de investigadores estrechamente ligados a su empeño a lo largo de estos años con el animo de hacer un balance serio y razonado sobre la evolucion de temas cruciales de la agenda de los derechos humanos tales como la memoria de la violencia, el respeto a las normas del derecho internacional, la lucha contra la corrupcion, los derechos de personas migrantes y otros de igual importancia. Se ofrece, asi, un material valioso para entender las razones que han conducido a las marchas y contramarchas de nuestra cultura democratica y tambien para hallar instrumentos que permitan hacerles frente y recuperar una genuina inspiracion humanitaria."

Os seres humanos pos-suem um elevado grau de autonomia e muitas vezes podemos pensar que é nisso que está o nosso principal valor, na facilidade com que agimos sem a ajuda de ninguem. Mas a verdade e que, quando chegamos a este planeta, somos desde o inicio da vida rodeados de cuidados diversos que se prolongam no tempo; chega depois a altura em que devemos cuidar de outras pessoas e passaremos por momentos em que teremos de permitir que outros cuidem de nos, inclusive quando ainda esteja longe o fim da nossa vida.
