    THEMA Economics, Finance, Business and Management
    Synopsis Advertising and design are condemned to perpetual creativity. Their encounter generates a symbiosis between two socio-economic powers, two multidisciplinary forces of persuasive communication that collaborate and enhance each other. This essay analyses how the field of design offers the publicist audiovisual communication resources in different combinations of image, text, typography, movement and colour; and how the advertising field and media dissemination offer the designer immense creative possibilities and the knowledge of their impact on society.

    THEMA Fiction and Related items
    Synopsis Convinced that Mexico City may not be the most advisable region to live in, but also that it is so intricate and exciting that it is impossible to leave it, Juan Villoro proposes this book written from the devotion of the recalcitrant and amazed urbanite that unfolds like an infinite puzzle: the shortcuts, the wrestling movies, the national heroes, the Tepiteño commerce, the government paperwork, the enigma of the tire repair shops, the countless crowds, the consumption of chili, the ancestral temples. The author also narrates certain autobiographical passages, such as the last walk with his grandmother or the memory of the neighborhood of abandoned houses where he grew up. With an attentive gaze and a firm pulse, Villoro unfolds as a journalist, passerby, pen buyer, nostalgic adult, responsible father, emergency brigade member, and offers us a testimony of the multiple adventures that the city has in store for each and every one of its members. Whether from his own experience or through listening to and investigating other people's realities, Juan Villoro composes a great fresco of the endearing and eternal chaos that makes up the country's capital. The space in which nothing fits anymore, but nothing is ever left over: Chilangópolis.

    THEMA Short stories; Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary
    Synopsis “Each story offers two versions of the same dramatic situation where, through a structure of mirrors that allows the texts to reflect and respond to each other, a detailed portrait of life is elaborated. Stories that take us down the path of loss, of the various forms of violence that furrow and traverse life, of the small battles that we choose to fight and the mediocre victories that console us, but also of sweetness, compassion and the brief joys that make the world a less ungrateful place and that force us to see ourselves and understand why we want to look away”.

    Synopsis What can science fiction be about, skeptics ask, mariachis in space? Maybe, but those are not the kind of stories you'll find in this book. Although the first work of Mexican science fiction dates from 1775, perpetrators of the subgenre have had to publish their work from the margins. With rare exceptions, the storytellers of the imaginative have formed a ghostly guild. To disseminate the work of this strange guild, illustrator and writer Bef offers us here a handful of his favorite Mexican stories inscribed in the so-called speculative fiction.

    Synopsis "This book offers original contributions by outstanding authors in Europe and Latin America that highlight the productivity of the pragmatic approach in contemporary social sciences, since it allows a more accurate reflection on social processes in permanent emergence and transformation. Among other issues, it shows that empirical research depends not only on the theoretical frameworks with which it is constructed, but fundamentally on the way in which work in the field influences the formation of theoretical categories."

However, when it comes to its care, there is a clash between two antagonistic discourses: the one that proposes to pay attention to existential pain in order to deal with it, and the one that tries to bury it under techniques that disguise capitalist efficiency and productivity as peace of mind.

    THEMA Fiction and Related items
    Synopsis Each reader is a world, and if we pay enough attention, so is every entity that surrounds him: the chair that supports him, the lamp that lights up his reading, the book he holds in his hands, the tiny nematode that flies over his head. Between each of these worlds, an incessant exchange takes place, an affective and material economy that transforms them. There are even encounters between them of such violence that we can think of them as collisions, great impacts that generate new worlds, with unprecedented links and flashes. In Habitable Planets, Elisa Díaz Castelo traces, thanks to a writing in which the words of science take on an unexpected sensuality and the subtleties of life spread the pleasure of irony, a meticulous map that seeks to account for the intricate network of connections deployed around us at every moment. If today there are those who think that, in the face of the announced disaster, the solution is the search for new worlds, in this collection of poems we are invited to find in language the reasons to keep habitable the singular complexity that shapes us and of which we are a part.

    Synopsis Lodo has as its protagonist one of the best characters to emerge from Guillermo Fadanelli's imagination: Benito Torrentera, the shadow of a man, a thinking corpse, a domesticated philosopher. When this fifty-something professor meets the young and impulsive Flor Eduarda, he is dragged to the limits of desire and madness, and soon becomes convinced that one must live more and imagine life a little less. Thus begins a journey through cities and roads that he never imagined traveling, accompanied by a presence that will lead him to rediscover himself and redefine his own limits. How is it possible that a man of thought could have lost himself in this way? Fadanelli glimpses the reality of a passion that, although it knows it is doomed to disappear, does not allow the characters who embody it to abandon it without first burning to the ground.

    THEMA Colonization
    Synopsis The essays collected in this book are constituted from conversations that the author has with different traditions of decolonial thought from both the North and the South. They bring into dialogue authors and currents of thought that are usually geographically and linguistically distanced, or that have been artificially separated to place Northern Europe as the only reference in the history of coloniality. In the process, not only theories and concepts, belief systems and prejudices that have contaminated the story of colonization are demystified, but the self-narratives that Europeans have woven of their own history are also questioned. Coloniality, gender and democracy addresses themes that revolve around the author's central concerns, such as the origins of democracy and the modern-State in the colonial fact, the role of gender in the constitution of colonial power and the contributions of decolonial feminism. especially from its indigenous side, which, according to Mendoza, offers one of the most complex and subversive theories of Western feminism. It also explores issues such as the Anthropocene or the ecological crisis, and the way in which they are conceived in areas such as postmodernism, posthumanism and various decolonial theories. To conclude, a feminist manifesto is presented as a way to move from critical theory to action, from despair to decolonial hope.

    THEMA Socialismo y sistemas relacionados
    Synopsis Mexico, 1521; Paris, 1871. What these dates summarize are not only violent stories, marked by brutal repressions at the end of each episode, they also contain in their resistance a concern for the potential explosion of the common—an explosion whose political form would be, precisely, the commune. Beyond or here of the workers massacred 150 years ago, or the Aztecs killed 500 years ago, what this book proposes to build is a partial history of that underground tradition of communal rebellions in Mexico. Bruno Bosteels traces the survival of a social form whose aspirations, if we follow Marx's most cited texts, were embodied in the Paris Commune and verified in Russia. However, Marx also wrote about Tenochtitlan and Tlatelolco, and based on these ethnological notes, Bosteels recovers a communal tradition that remained firm throughout the colonial era and was present in the Mexican Revolution. If the calpulli was its first form, experiences such as those of Morelos, Acapulco and Edendale, to Chiapas and currently Cherán, prove that in Mexico the communal, more than a suspended time or an exceptional moment, opens an expansive form that escapes what It is thought to be immovable: an obstinacy that, through multiple isolated outbreaks, traces its path as a political ideal.

What is behind Gifford's fondness for picturesque appellations? » Many things: the loneliness of the border, of that mythical territory between the United States and Mexico, and the loneliness of all men... portraits turned to dust and wind. » Roberto Bolaño In the border region between Coahuila and Texas, near Piedras Negras, a tribe of Seminole Indians seeks to escape persecution by the United States government. The blood and culture of the Creeks and the black slaves who have escaped from the plantations live and mix there; together they look for a place to live and prosper in peace. The Mexican government offers them Birth in exchange for fighting against the local native rebels. However, this territory is more porous and conflictive than it seems at first glance and, as the story progresses, the battle fronts multiply. Cass Dupuy, a retired ranger, will try all kinds of alliances to get a cut of the inhuman business of slavery. Teresa, his daughter, is a brave young woman who flees from her father's ranch in the company of Sonny, the son of a legendary Seminole chief. These characters trace, at the center of the story, a story of love and revenge that opens a path between blood and bullets. The hunch leads us through a territory of adventure and heroism. Barry Gifford is one of those rare writers who moves us, touches us and shakes us on the same page.

    THEMA Children’s / Teenage fiction: Short stories
    Synopsis The Fair Is A Tiny World. Along the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro (the Silver Route), tales of magical potions and monstrous creatures burst forth. The young assistant of Don Nicandro, the muleteer, had heard so many that they spilled over into his dreams. When awake, he imagined all the countries he could visit if only his master agreed to change the route. But all Don Nicandro wanted was to get to the San Marcos Fair and, perhaps, crush the boy’s dreams with his grumpy mood. Warning: Reading this book may spark an enormous curiosity to learn stories about treasures brought from distant paradises.

    THEMA The Arts
    Synopsis This book combines theoretical and practical elements to explain the phenomenon of art. Students, teachers and specialists in the field will find concepts such as ‘surface-object’, painting, basic and graphic surfaces, crafts and object and spatial designs. According to the author, art cannot be understood if the context in which the work arises is left aside, since its virtues and shortcomings are omitted, and it is impossible to consider those elements that transform art for the benefit of our Latin American reality.

The collection of poems is an inner journey to those spaces in which the poet finds a meaning beyond the mere beauty of the place: cliffs, monasteries, sanctuaries, sacred mountains, bridges, caves... Symbolic places that have pierced the soul of those who contemplate them and imprinted a mark on it.

    THEMA Teaching skills & techniques
    Synopsis We cannot "trap" students in the classroom, but rather attract them to get involved. The old behavioral paradigm give "reinforcement and punishment" to "motivate" through control and manipulation, must give way to a paradigm that puts at the center of the person’s motivation, encouraging them to be themselves. This work provides the teacher with practical and useful tools to help them accept and support the autonomy of the student, so that the classroom becomes a true context of confidence and positive functioning, personal growth, prosperity and satisfaction.

    THEMA Philosophy
    Synopsis "There is a relationship between philosophy and literature that is as intimate as it is mysterious. Both involve each other: literature invites philosophical reflection and philosophy invites literary expression. The figure of the “philosopher-writer” or the “philosopher-writer” is an exemplary case of this oscillation: Camus, Sartre, Baricco and Proust managed to detach themselves from classifications and produced works that express the silent sense of the world."

    THEMA Fiction and Related items
    Synopsis In 2020, during the months of the most intense lockdown, social media was filled with videos in which wild animals were seen roaming the deserted streets of various urban centers. These scenes, similar to the enigmatic films of Luis Buñuel, were a fleeting reminder of the lives despised by the whirlwind of economic progress; a year after they were captured, the summer of 2021 was characterized by heat waves and fires that broke all known records. Without a doubt, humanity's responsibility with respect to its environment and the beings with whom it shares it becomes a topic of urgent reflection. In the last volume of this philosophical history of animals, some of the most current and radical proposals on the animal question are problematized by prominent Latin American thinkers, as an effort to detonate and enrich this urgent debate. Within these pages the reader will find reflections on the famous encounter between Friedrich Nietzsche and a horse on the outskirts of Turin; a deep elaboration on the proposal of animal becoming in Gilles Deleuze; the intersections between feminist and animalist proposals of the philosopher Rosi Braidotti; a very interesting reading of the literary work of the writer J. M. Coetzee; among other equally stimulating and necessary texts.
