El tejido social rasgado
Read moreTitle El tejido social rasgado Author Claudio Lomnitz Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456097 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 176 Format Print and digital THEMA Sociology and anthropology Synopsis This book gathers the first cycle of six conferences taught by Claudio Lomnitz as a member of El Colegio Nacional. In each of them we can find an intelligent and vital analysis to explain the origin and nature of the economic, social and political changes that are at the core of Mexico’s present violence crisis: a rupture in the “social fabric”, not caused by an ethical crisis but by a retraction of the State, which has lost its capacity to regulate informal and illicit economies, handing them over to organized crime. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
La región crepuscular
Read moreTitle La región crepuscular Author Esquinca, Bernardo Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851829 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 192 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis I could say that this novel is about Gregorio Cárdenas, the first serial murderer of modern Mexico, whose crimes shocked a country that was trying to leave behind the embers of the Revolution. But in reality it is something more: instead of just talking about the figure of the murderer, I was also interested in delving into the social context that fostered it, and that seems to be repeated today. In these pages there is an attempt to understand where the sexist violence that plagues Mexico comes from. Why were women forced to commit crimes in the 1940s? Why were there clandestine abortions that put the lives of dozens of girls at risk? Why do the chroniclers point out that it was a man –detective José Acosta Suárez– who caught Gregorio Cárdenas, when there was an agent, Ana María Dorantes, whose work was fundamental in the case, and who is now unjustly forgotten? Why are serial killers a cultural construct for which we are all responsible? This book is a portrait of that era known as the Alemanism, but it also involves the present in an important way, with the epidemic of feminicides that the State of Mexico is experiencing, where some of the bloodiest serial killers of recent years have been conceived. It is important to note that it is not pleasant to read this novel, but it could not be otherwise. The twilight region is precisely that place that we avoid turning around, because we believe that it is better not to see, to ignore what happens around us while the victims accumulate. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Profesores, tiranos y otros pinches chamacos
Read moreTitle Profesores, tiranos y otros pinches chamacos Author Hinojosa, Francisco Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667239 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 406 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Subjects whose encyclopedic knowledge leads them to the top and then to the abyss of their biographies, men obsessed with the idea of death, professors determined to teach extremely simple subjects in extremely complicated ways, presidents who want to sell the country they govern to the highest bidder, literary characters who get out of their roles and commit crazy things left and right. Francisco Hinojosa's imagination fractures plots so unpredictable that on each page his stories take unusual turns, become complicated in unexpected ways and always mutate into the craziest version of themselves. The characters have absurd, generally modest lives, they can even be overwhelmed by comfort and boredom, until one day fate takes a turn and their days become a stepping stone to the unexpected. The reader has in his hands the most comprehensive collection of the author's short stories, a map that indicates his hidden depths, his wild desires and the most surprising stories that make him up. This volume represents an event for Francisco Hinojosa's readers and a true honour for our publishing house: it is the celebration of a literary work that, for several decades, has earned the admiration and affection of everyone. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

El método acuático comprensivo Author Juan Antonio Moreno Murcia Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9789874434760 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 182 Format Printed THEMA Swimming Synopsis This work proposes a new approach to aquatic education, with a motivating methodology that encourages action, improves attention and reaction time, transfers the learned to social context and promotes the regulation of positive emotions. It is student-centred and takes into account individual differences in the metacognitive-cognitive, motivational-affective, evolutionary and social factors. All this is based on learning to use intelligence to actively direct the action of their behaviour in favour of their autonomy. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com
