Una exploración de la psiquis colectiva; de los sentimientos, afectos y representaciones que hicieron posible el vertiginoso ascenso de la ultraderecha en la Argentina. Los odios y resentimientos, pero tambien las ilusiones y demandas hacia el futuro.Cristian Alarcon (coordinador)Paula Sibilia, Luis Ignacio Garcia, Moira Perez,Micaela cuesta, Rossana Reguillo, Hernan BorisonikSebastian Carassai, Mariana Luzzi y Maria Soledad Sanchez.El cambio de epoca merece una exploracion del animo social. Desde la filosofia, la sociologia, la ciencia politica, la historia y el psicoanalisis, esta serie de ensayos hacen foco en las representaciones, los sentimientos y humores que dieron lugar e impulso al veloz ascenso de la ultraderecha en la Argentina. En este mundo de promesas rotas -del Estado de Bienestar inviable a la autorrealizacion que no se alcanza- florecen las pasiones tristes: frustracion, resentimiento, indignacion, odio. Y se potencia la explotacion politica de las emociones propias de esta etapa del capitalismo en el que las logicas del deber, el interes colectivo o la trascendencia fueron desplazadas por las del individualismo mientras se tensaba hasta romperse el lazo que anudaba trabajo con futuro.Los textos de este libro trazan ese diagnostico y tambien invitan a imaginar un futuro. Evadiendo los analisis rapidos y polarizantes, la tentacion de asignar valores negativos o positivos segun el voto, buscan en un presente opaco destellos de lo que vendra.Cristian Alarcon, autor de las novelas de no ficcion Cuando me muera quiero que me toquen cumbia y Si me queres, quereme transa, y del Premio Alfaguara de Novela El tercer paraiso, creo y dirige desde 2012 la revista digital Anfibia, que propone un cruce entre el periodismo narrativo y la academia. Con ese espiritu reunio estos ensayos que configuran una pintura de la epoca.

United in Grace, Beyond DebateConversations about abortion often center on the question: Are you pro-life or pro-choice? But what if thats the wrong question? Drawing upon the life and teachings of Jesus, Becoming ProGrace invites Christians to ask new questions, such as: What if conversations about abortion didnt have to feel so tense, divided, or dehumanizing? What does it mean to affirm the image of God in every person involved? How do we navigate tension we may feel when our deepest Christian values seem to conflict? What would it take for Christian communities to become spaces of empathy, listening, and grace? Including insights and personal stories from Christians of diverse denominational backgrounds and political perspectives, Becoming ProGrace articulates a uniquely Christian response to abortion that calls us to take on the character of Christ rather than trying to change others, offering a much-needed message of hope for our divided world.Jesus led with grace. As we reimagine our approach to the abortion conversation, so can we.

The new ruling elite in the west the ultra-wealthy tech magnates, financial wizards and corporate bosses that wield enormous power over us embrace extremely progressive political ideas. What explains this apparent paradox?In this scintillating critique of these new radical plutocrats, conservative commentator Ed West argues that the luxury beliefs of the new Brahmin caste are perfectly consistent with their accumulation of ever greater wealth. Ultra-liberalism, with its inherent bias towards valorising autonomy, freedom, and cosmopolitanism, is a creed that inherently benefits the rich. Examining how this new elite allies itself with both younger, poorer knowledge workers and immigrants against the more culturally conservative working classes, he argues that the rise of identity politics allows the wealthy to pose as social justice warriors in a way that poses no threat to their own privilege and power.A must-read for both conservatives and traditional leftists, Brahmins is a razor-sharp diagnosis of a culture that is combining the worst element of capitalism and progressivism.

Bridgerton is the runaway Netflix success that has captured the hearts and imaginations of its biggest ever global audience. Producers Chris Van Dusen and Shonda Rhimes have ripped up the Regency drama rulebook to create a series that speaks to a modern audience. Apart from the intense sexual chemistry, inspired casting and a lavish costume budget, what sets Bridgerton apart is the extensive use of location shooting. Step forward Bath: the Georgian architectural jewel gets to play many different parts of fashionable London. Bridgertons Bath takes you on a tour of all these locations from No.1 The Royal Crescent (the Featheringtons house on Grosvenor Square) to Abbey Green (Covent Garden) and the Abbey Deli (Modiste couturier) on Abbey Street. Bridgerton intersects with Jane Austens world at the Assembly Rooms where one of the early balls takes place, while the 18th-century Bath Guildhall also gets a place on the series dance card. A key character in the drama is Lady Danbury, played by Adjoa Andoh, and her grand mansion is Baths former Sydney Hotel, today the Holburne Museum. Gunters Tea Room was a celebrated London patisserie and in Bridgerton it can be found on Trim Street. Many Bath streets feature regularly, including Beauford Square, a place for regular carriage trips and the Royal Crescent, which in Series One, reverberated to the sound of galloping hooves as our heroine (or her stunt double) raced to stop a duel. The book includes a feature on how the series was filmed in the city, and includes a detailed map so you can follow your own Bridgerton Walking Tour of this beautiful city, which has more to offer besides.

Una puerta de entrada esencial al pensamiento de Simone Weil, con dos de sus ensayos más lúcidos sobre la libertad, la opresión y la violencia, acompañados por una introducción actual y accesible de Juan Evaristo, que invita a leer a Weil como una pensadora imprescindible para nuestro tiempo.Una de las pensadoras mas radicales del siglo XX, como nunca la habias leido.Simone Weil escribio con una lucidez implacable sobre la libertad, la fuerza y la injusticia, sin separar nunca el pensamiento de la experiencia. Esta antologia reune dos de sus textos mas impactantes, perfectos para quienes se acercan por primera vez a su obra: Reflexiones sobre las causas de la libertad y de la opresion social, un ensayo filosofico de sorprendente actualidad sobre las estructuras de poder y la condicion humana, y La Iliada o el poema de la fuerza, una lectura poderosa del poema homerico como simbolo universal de la violencia y su capacidad de deshumanizacion. Ambos textos comparten una idea central: que la fuerza, cuando domina la vida individual o colectiva, destruye no solo a los oprimidos, sino tambien a los vencedores. Weil nos invita a mirar esa fuerza de frente, sin ilusiones, y a preguntarnos que puede significar hoy resistirla, tanto en el plano politico como en el etico. La edicion se completa con una introduccion inedita del filosofo Juan Evaristo, que traza un puente entre el pensamiento de Weil y los dilemas contemporaneos, y nos recuerda por que esta autora incomoda y luminosa sigue siendo una voz insustituible.

And Girls exposes the sinister and rapid intensification and ruthless commercialisation of the inner lives of girls and young women which leads to the loss of their authentic selvesa loss that corporations are all too ready to exploit.Girls is a personal journey and intimate portrait of girls today, in all their mystery and torment: one that captures the soul of the most complex and misunderstood generation so far, and that empowers them to see their lives through a different lens.

Peloton. Pilates. Biohacking. Colonics. Ashwagandha.

Publishers WeeklyA rollicking exploration of our desperation for wellness, our devotion to CBD, (and) self-care...deftly separating the gobbledygook from the truly transformative. Ariel Levy, author of The Rules Do Not ApplyToday, the wellness industry is a $3.7 trillion behemoth that touches us all. Amy Larocca takes readers into the communities that swear by their activated charcoal toothpaste and green juice enemas, explaining what each of these practices really is, and what the science says.Larocca holds a magnifying glass to alternative medicine and nouveau lifestyle prescriptions and tries a lot herself along the way ultimately delivering an assessment of how the wellness industry embodies our (gendered, class-based, racialised) perceptions of care and self-improvement, and how it preys on our unshakable fear of the unknown.
