Paper Cadavers
Author: Kirsten Weld
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 082237658X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
In Paper Cadavers, an inside account of the astonishing discovery and rescue of Guatemala's secret police archives, Kirsten Weld probes the politics of memory, the wages of the Cold War, and the stakes of historical knowledge production. After Guatemala's bloody thirty-six years of civil war (1960–1996), silence and impunity reigned. That is, until 2005, when human rights investigators stumbled on the archives of the country's National Police, which, at 75 million pages, proved to be the largest trove of secret state records ever found in Latin America. The unearthing of the archives renewed fierce debates about history, memory, and justice. In Paper Cadavers, Weld explores Guatemala's struggles to manage this avalanche of evidence of past war crimes, providing a firsthand look at how postwar justice activists worked to reconfigure terror archives into implements of social change. Tracing the history of the police files as they were transformed from weapons of counterinsurgency into tools for post-conflict reckoning, Weld sheds light on the country's fraught transition from war to an uneasy peace, reflecting on how societies forget and remember political violence.

Superación Personal
Author: Luis Alberto Villamarín Pulido
Publisher: Luis Villamarin
ISBN: 1499301448
Category : Self-Help
Languages : es
Pages : 258
Book Description
Superación Personal, El Tesoro de la Sabiduría, es el primero de varios tomos, elaborado mediante la selección, compilación y edición de documentos en torno a autoestima, superación personal, liderazgo y elementos intangibles, que el hombre busca ansioso, para ubicarse dentro del entorno y ser mejor persona. Este es quizás el tipo de libros que todos los padres quieren obsequiar a sus hijos; que todo jefe quiere que lean sus subalternos; que todo educador desea que lean sus estudiantes; y que todas las personas con visión y ambiciones legítimas, estudian para aplicar en su vida personal, sentimental, laboral o en la interacción social permanente. Este trabajo es producto de una sistemática acumulación de lecturas, poemas, frases célebres y escritos, que el editor ha utilizado en su carrera como escritor, y que en las horas más complejas de la labor profesional y literaria, ha tomado como referentes, para no desistir, enriquecer el intelecto y tratar de comprender el mundo. Superación Personal, Tesoro de Sabiduría, invita a la incesante búsqueda del conocimiento con base en el estudio permanente, la lectura selecta, la re-flexión profunda, la comprensión de la historia, la sociología y la sicología; o, los sentimientos humanos, y a la fe en Dios, que con su infinita sabiduría, siempre da a la humanidad bendiciones, entendimiento, amor, inducción a la constancia y fortaleza espiritual. Es probable que en este trabajo, frases célebres o contrapuestas a criterios analíticos o filosóficos de otros autores citados el mismo libro.La variedad de conceptos enriquece el conocimiento y conmina a seleccionar, aquel que más convenga a la situación personal específica, o los proyectos de vida. Si bien es cierto que nada se da con tanta generosidad como los consejos, también lo es que los bienes materiales atesorados durante el fugaz paso por el planeta, son perecederos o pueden desaparecer pronto. No sucede así con los conocimientos teóricos ni con las ejecutorias, con que concretemos en bien de los semejantes y en pos de la educación integral de nuestras familias y subalternos cuando tenemos el honor de liderar proyectos. Lo aprendido con amor, esfuerzo y ahínco, se afinca en la mente, pero lo que se transmite a otros con base en lo aprendido, se multiplica y coadyuva a formar las culturas, que son sistemas de valores fijados por los hacedores de la historia. Tiene en sus manos estimado lector, un documento que no es per-fecto, pero si una trascendental guía literaria que encierra en sus páginas, el preciado tesoro de la sabiduría, un cúmulo de ideas básicas escritas por grandes triunfadores, por pensadores que alteraron para bien las culturas, por ejecutores de grandes transformaciones en todos los campos, por seres iluminados, que sin egoísmos, sintetizaron sus vivencias en piezas magistrales, que hoy son artífices de autosuperación, para quienes decidan romper el círculo de la mediocridad e integrarse a los hacedores de la historia. La lectura es placer de espíritus superiores, con la gran ventaja que todos los seres humanos podemos integrarnos a ella, en la medida que apostemos al éxito, a la superación y a ser grandes pero muy útiles a la familia, a la sociedad, a la patria y a Dios, el ser supremo y maravilloso, que nos da facultades y talentos para ponerlos a su servicio. Con la absoluta certeza que esta obra será de su agrado, lo estimu-lamos a que la lea con placidez y calma; a que extracte las ideas que más le llamen la atención, para que las escriba a partir de la página 247 al final del libro, donde encontrará una sección prevista, para registrar las notas y comentarios, que considere útiles o pertinentes para su plan de vida. Buena lectura, el mejor de los deseos para usted y los suyos con es-tas reflexiones, que apenas son una parte de la serie Superación Personal, la cual tiene otros temas igual de enriquecedores, aplicables a lo que dijo hace varios siglos el sabio Salomón: Donde no haya visión el pueblo perecerá.

Without Criteria
Author: Steven Shaviro
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262517973
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
A Deleuzian reading of Whitehead and a Whiteheadian reading of Deleuze open the possibility of a critical aesthetics of contemporary culture. In Without Criteria, Steven Shaviro proposes and explores a philosophical fantasy: imagine a world in which Alfred North Whitehead takes the place of Martin Heidegger. What if Whitehead, instead of Heidegger, had set the agenda for postmodern thought? Heidegger asks, “Why is there something, rather than nothing?” Whitehead asks, “How is it that there is always something new?” In a world where everything from popular music to DNA is being sampled and recombined, argues Shaviro, Whitehead's question is the truly urgent one. Without Criteria is Shaviro's experiment in rethinking postmodern theory, especially the theory of aesthetics, from a point of view that hearkens back to Whitehead rather than Heidegger. In working through the ideas of Whitehead and Deleuze, Shaviro also appeals to Kant, arguing that certain aspects of Kant's thought pave the way for the philosophical “constructivism” embraced by both Whitehead and Deleuze. Kant, Whitehead, and Deleuze are not commonly grouped together, but the juxtaposition of them in Without Criteria helps to shed light on a variety of issues that are of concern to contemporary art and media practices.

The Book of Daniel
Author: E.L. Doctorow
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 0307762955
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
The central figure of this novel is a young man whose parents were executed for conspiring to steal atomic secrets for Russia. His name is Daniel Isaacson, and as the story opens, his parents have been dead for many years. He has had a long time to adjust to their deaths. He has not adjusted. Out of the shambles of his childhood, he has constructed a new life—marriage to an adoring girl who gives him a son of his own, and a career in scholarship. It is a life that enrages him. In the silence of the library at Columbia University, where he is supposedly writing a Ph.D. dissertation, Daniel composes something quite different. It is a confession of his most intimate relationships—with his wife, his foster parents, and his kid sister Susan, whose own radicalism so reproaches him. It is a book of memories: riding a bus with his parents to the ill-fated Paul Robeson concert in Peekskill; watching the FBI take his father away; appearing with Susan at rallies protesting their parents’ innocence; visiting his mother and father in the Death House. It is a book of investigation: transcribing Daniel’s interviews with people who knew his parents, or who knew about them; and logging his strange researches and discoveries in the library stacks. It is a book of judgments of everyone involved in the case—lawyers, police, informers, friends, and the Isaacson family itself. It is a book rich in characters, from elderly grand- mothers of immigrant culture, to covert radicals of the McCarthy era, to hippie marchers on the Pen-tagon. It is a book that spans the quarter-century of American life since World War II. It is a book about the nature of Left politics in this country—its sacrificial rites, its peculiar cruelties, its humility, its bitterness. It is a book about some of the beautiful and terrible feelings of childhood. It is about the nature of guilt and innocence, and about the relations of people to nations. It is The Book of Daniel.
