Este libro reúne ensayos que reflexionan sobre la Alteridad en un mundo marcado por el miedo, el racismo y los populismos. Hito Steyerl aborda la irracionalidad del miedo como herramienta de dominacion, un fenomeno que denomina "politica del monocromo". Sus reflexiones plantean la urgencia de nuevas resistencias y sensibilidades ante el debilitamiento del espacio publico. Pia Cordero indaga en la imaginacion, un ambito que nos permite comprender el lugar del Otro. En su ensayo propone: "Cerrar los ojos para realmente ver el mundo. Un recurso que podria permitirnos entretejer el lado mas pragmatico de la realidad con los desplazamientos simbolicos del pensamiento hacia los afectos que se muestran aparentemente inutiles frente al poder de las consignas". A traves del proyecto curatorial "Un mundo bajo los parpados", con obras del artista Marco Godoy, Cordero sugiere que la imaginacion es, fundamentalmente, Alteridad. El libro incluye imagenes y dibujos de Godoy que reproducen esculturas humanoides, piezas prehistoricas y monumentos antiguos. Sus obras exploran las complejas relaciones entre los cuerpos, a menudo asimetricas y jerarquicas, tensando las dinamicas de apoyo.

* A memoir created in pictures: over two hundred photos linked and underpinned not in chronological order but shown in a cinematographic sequence and rhythm. As well as the photos, the author includes his memories and the experiences he gained when he took them, without boasting or telling unlikely stories. A book open in all directions, unprejudiced and with no other aim than to capture life itself. Antoni Bernad began to work as a graphic artist when he was fifteen but he soon realised that his world was made of images and without knowing how to swim, he launched himself into the deep end hoping that his passion would serve as a lifebelt. This passion and a stubborn will have led him to be now recognised as one of the great photographers. People such as Dali, Paloma Picasso, Horst, David Hockney, Tapies, Catala Roca, Manolo Blahnik, Joan Miro, Merce Rodoreda or Ryszard Kapuscinski have posed in front of his camera. In his portraits he always strives to reach the person s soul and reflect their most intimate emotions. Now that the abuse of imagery has become a burden, this book allows us to judge Bernad s work with perspective and to underline its worth: authenticity, without sliding into sensationalist artifice or fleeting fashions. It is the work, in short, of a contempora

A través de una cuidada investigación histórica, el libro narra su recorrido desde sus inicios musicales en Cataluña hasta su decisivo papel en la historia de México, donde compuso la música del himno nacional mexicano.La obra ofrece una mirada intima a su trayectoria artistica y personal, marcada por la migracion, el compromiso cultural y los intercambios entre Europa y America en el siglo XIX. Jaime Nuno es una figura clave para entender los lazos culturales entre Cataluña y Mexico en el siglo XIX.Mas que una biografia, este libro es un puente entre dos continentes y dos mundos musicales, que reivindica la figura de Nuno como un simbolo del talento catalan proyectado al mundo.Durante mas de siglo y medio, el nombre de Jaime Nuno ha permanecido ligado exclusivamente al Himno Nacional Mexicano, del que fue autor de la musica. Sin embargo, detras de esa composicion emblematica se esconde una figura fascinante y hasta ahora poco estudiada: la de un musico catalan que recorrio medio mundo y dejo un legado de mas de 600 obras. Esta biografia exhaustiva rescata del olvido a Jaime Nuno Roca, nacido en Sant Joan de les Abadesses y viajero incansable por España, Italia, Cuba, Mexico y Estados Unidos. Resultado de mas de una decada de investigacion en archivos, bibliotecas y fondos familiares, este libro arroja nueva luz sobre la vida y la obra de un compositor cosmopolita, injustamente relegado a una nota al pie de la historia. Este libro es un homenaje a su memoria y un paso decisivo hacia el redescubrimiento de su obra.
