Far from being fought exclusively on the battlefield, it also involves society, which demands men to swell the ranks of its armies and material resources to sustain itself in space and time, to which it imposes sacrifices and hardships. However, this mobilization incited by the State to sustain the war effort is not unilateral, but is often in dialogue with initiatives emanating from society itself. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -

Torres
Read moreTitle Torres Author José Ramón Ruisánchez Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456066 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 216 Format Printed THEMA Literary essays Synopsis Un muchacho sufre el derrumbe de una relación amorosa. Romántico y triste, llora en el cine. Así comienza a entretejer su educación sentimental con su educación visual. Conforme recuerda va creando la constelación de lo que vio y de lo que no supo ver. La constelación que le permite poco a poco saberse. Las torres de Torres son arquitectónicas, pero son también las leves acumulaciones de los versos de Coral Bracho, Juan Alcántara, Olvido García Valdés o Raúl Gómez Jattin. Las del desastre lujosamente inventado por la ficción y que más tarde la realidad copió con minucia escalofriante. Las de ciertos géneros en la historia del arte que se activan en clave profética. Juntas, marcan las escalas más importantes de este recorrido: por ciudades, personas y obras de arte. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Cascarón roto
Read moreTitle Cascarón roto Author López Mills, Tedi Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764099 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 152 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis El nuevo libro de Tedi López Mills se compone de tres ensayos en los que la formación de filósofa de la autora, así como su gran calidad literaria y perspicaz pensamiento, salen a relucir de forma grácil y deslumbrante. En el primero, “Aviones”, la autora trabaja sobre la experiencia de la despedida, la incertidumbre a la que da lugar el alejarse de los seres a los que nos unen vínculos afectivos. Como eje narrativo de este ensayo está la historia de Ted Mills, tío de la autora que falleció trágicamente al estrellarse el avión de combate que piloteaba. Por otro lado, “Cascarón roto” es una reflexión sobre los planteamientos que numerosos pensadores clásicos (Platón, Aristóteles, Diógenes Laercio, Cicerón) hicieron sobre la amistad, mismos que son contrapunteados por ejemplos cotidianos de la vida contemporánea: conversaciones, malentendidos, sobre interpretaciones de lo dicho, es decir, los deslices y tropiezos que toda amistad atraviesa. En “Impertinencia”, la identidad nacional es encarnada por disputas lingüísticas que se inspiran en formulaciones de pensadores como Guillermo Sheridan, José Vasconcelos y, sobre todo, Carlos Monsiváis, así como con recuerdos de las discusiones y comentarios comunes en los pasillos de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la UNAM: lo nacional entendido como una formación del habla pero, también, como la propia historia y memoria. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -
Las cuatro revoluciones invisibles. Audiencias, de antes de la radio hasta después del podcast
Read moreTitle Las cuatro revoluciones invisibles. Audiencias, de antes de la radio hasta después del podcast Author José Luis Fernández Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9786316593511 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 208 Format Printed THEMA Media studies Synopsis It argues that audioneers are the protagonists of a very deep and misunderstood transformation that, arising in the passage from the nineteenth to the twentieth century, does not cease to renew itself. These are four “invisible” revolutions, since they do not stand out in our written and audiovisual culture: the total revolution, the mass revolution, the popular revolution and the permanent revolution of audioneuts. The radio, the phonographic, the telephone and the various platforms that surround us, our speakers and our headphones bring us discourses that surround us and in which we are immersed. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -
Drenajes
Read moreTitle Drenajes Author Rodríguez Landeros, Diego Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851003 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 168 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis The essays in Drenajes form an intricate network through which various narrative flows tell, from multiple perspectives and treatments, the story of water in the basin of the Valley of Mexico. The unexpected link between the drainage channel that runs through the municipality of Ecatepec and a global publishing consortium, the actions of resistance that several towns in the Valley of Mexico sustained against attempts to accumulate water from ancient Tenochtitlán, the hunt for a mythical creature in contemporary Texcoco, the neoliberal disaster that has brought dispossession and contamination to our water bodies; the stories and characters that cross the restless currents of this book are palpable examples of the ways in which writing can be decanted into a political stance and of how fiction manages to provide clarity to the dark events of a murky history. With an extraordinary ability to build relationships, Rodríguez Landeros manages in each of these texts to surprise the reader with the discovery that, in effect, there is a secret thread capable of linking everything: an underground pipeline that unites the intimate waters of our homes with a lake past and the grandiloquent future of a chimerical national project. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx
