Описание: Un encargo editorial pone a Alejandra Varela, especialista en arte urbano, tras la pista de Sniper, un reconocido artista del grafiti, promotor de acciones callejeras al l mite de la legalidad --algunas de ellas con resultados fatales-- del que casi nadie ha visto jam s el rostro ni conoce el paradero. La b squeda conducir a la protagonista de Madrid a Lisboa, y de ah a Verona y N poles en su intento por descifrar cu l es el objetivo al que apunta la mira mortal del cazador solitario. En mis novelas siempre hay una pica, una clase determinada de h roe. En este sentido El francotirador paciente no se sale de ese territorio. El mundo del grafiti callejero es un escenario muy interesante y tiene tambi n un componente singular de aventura, de guerrilla urbana... En esta ocasi n he llevado a mis personajes de siempre a un territorio muy actual, contempor neo , afirma el autor. El francotirador paciente es tambi n una original reflexi n sobre el papel del arte y su valor en nuestros d as, un asunto que el escritor ya trat en novelas anteriores como El pintor de batallas o La tabla de Flandes. El francotirador paciente es un thriller que apasiona, un formidable duelo de inteligencias, un juego al l mite entre perseguidor y presa. Porque el tiempo no es lo m s importante cuando quedan cuentas pendientes. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An editorial assignment sets urban-art specialist Alejandra Varela on the trail of Sniper, a mysterious graffiti artist and promoter of activities bordering on illegal--with sometimes fatal results. Her attempts to figure out the lone hunter's next target of the lonely hunter's will take Varela from Madrid to Lisbon, and from there to Verona and Naples.The novel is an electrifying thriller, a formidable duel of the minds, and a daring game between hunter and pray, where time is of no import when there are still accounts to be settled. El francotirador paciente is also a remarkable reflection on the role of art and its value in our times, something the author has touched upon in previous novels such as El pintor de batallas and La tabla de Flandes."There is always something epic in my novels, a certain class of hero. In this sense, El francotirador paciente does not deviate from this terrain. The world of graffiti is a very interesting setting and it also has the unique component of urban warfare and adventure... This time I have taken my usual characters to a contemporary and very current territory," said the author.
In Designs for the Pluriverse Arturo Escobar presents a new vision of design theory and practice aimed at channeling design's world-making capacity toward ways of being and doing that are deeply attuned to justice and the Earth. Noting that most design—from consumer goods and digital technologies to built environments—currently serves capitalist ends, Escobar argues for the development of an “autonomous design” that eschews commercial and modernizing aims in favor of more collaborative and placed-based approaches. Such design attends to questions of environment, experience, and politics while focusing on the production of human experience based on the radical interdependence of all beings. Mapping autonomous design’s principles to the history of decolonial efforts of indigenous and Afro-descended people in Latin America, Escobar shows how refiguring current design practices could lead to the creation of more just and sustainable social orders.

Описание:
In Territories of Difference, Arturo Escobar, author of the widely debated book Encountering Development, analyzes the politics of difference enacted by specific place-based ethnic and environmental movements in the context of neoliberal globalization. His analysis is based on his many years of engagement with a group of Afro-Colombian activists of Colombia’s Pacific rainforest region, the Proceso de Comunidades Negras (PCN). Escobar offers a detailed ethnographic account of PCN’s visions, strategies, and practices, and he chronicles and analyzes the movement’s struggles for autonomy, territory, justice, and cultural recognition. Yet he also does much more. Consistently emphasizing the value of local activist knowledge for both understanding and social action and drawing on multiple strands of critical scholarship, Escobar proposes new ways for scholars and activists to examine and apprehend the momentous, complex processes engulfing regions such as the Colombian Pacific today.
Escobar illuminates many interrelated dynamics, including the Colombian government’s policies of development and pluralism that created conditions for the emergence of black and indigenous social movements and those movements’ efforts to steer the region in particular directions. He examines attempts by capitalists to appropriate the rainforest and extract resources, by developers to set the region on the path of modernist progress, and by biologists and others to defend this incredibly rich biodiversity “hot-spot” from the most predatory activities of capitalists and developers. He also looks at the attempts of academics, activists, and intellectuals to understand all of these complicated processes. Territories of Difference is Escobar’s effort to think with Afro-Colombian intellectual-activists who aim to move beyond the limits of Eurocentric paradigms as they confront the ravages of neoliberal globalization and seek to defend their place-based cultures and territories.

Описание: Recent research on environmental regulation have focused on studying ways of controlling continuous sources of pollution such as SO2 and CO2 emissions by means of permit trading and carbon taxes. However, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico after the Deepwater Horizon blowout and the red mud tailings spill in Hungary have shown that accidental pollution can also generate serious social damages. The objective of this book is to study how to organize and administer a governance system that regulates accidental pollution and market power by adopting a holistic analytical approach that combines economics, law, and politics. The book presents a multi-tier principal-agent model where the State regulates accidental pollution and market power, taking into account the problems of corruption, moral hazard, the random nature of accidental pollution, and the organization of regulatory institutions. Instruments such as monitoring and penalties are identified as optimal policy tools in a second-best setting. The book analyzes the applicability of the model using real case studies from the mining and energy industries and presents policy implications of the analysis for the U.S.A. and Peru.

Описание: In Pluriversal Politics Arturo Escobar engages with the politics of the possible and how established notions of what is real and attainable preclude the emergence of radically alternative visions of the future. Reflecting on the experience, philosophy, and practice of indigenous and Afro-descendant activist-intellectuals and on current Latin American theoretical-political debates, Escobar chronicles the social movements mobilizing to defend their territories from large-scale extractive operations in the region. He shows how these movements engage in an ontological politics aimed at bringing about the pluriverse—a world consisting of many worlds, each with its own ontological and epistemic grounding. Such a politics, Escobar contends, is key to crafting myriad world-making stories telling of different possible futures that could bring about the profound social transformations that are needed to address planetary crises. Both a call to action and a theoretical provocation, Pluriversal Politics finds Escobar at his critically incisive best.

Описание: ¡Pronto en la gran pantalla!
En julio de 2006 un avion de la DEA saco a Virginia Vallejo de Colombia. Su vida estaba en peligro por haberse convertido en el testigo clave de los dos procesos criminales más importantes de la segunda mitad del siglo XX en su país: el asesinato de un candidato presidencial y el holocausto del Palacio de Justicia.
Veinticinco años antes, Virginia Vallejo era la presentadora de television más importante de Colombia y la belleza profesional que aparecía en las portadas de las principales revistas. Cortejada por multimillonarios tradicionales, conocio en 1982 a Pablo Escobar, un misterioso político de treinta y tres años que en realidad manejaba los hilos de un mundo de riqueza inigualable en el que gran parte del incesante flujo de dinero procedente del tráfico de cocaína se canalizaba a proyectos de caridad y a las campañas de candidatos presidenciales de su eleccion.
Este libro, una apasionada historia de amor convertida en cronica del horror y la verguenza, describe la evolucion de una de las mentes criminales más siniestras de nuestro tiempo: su capacidad de infundir terror y generar corrupcion, los vínculos entre sus negocios ilícitos y varios jefes de estado, los asesinatos de candidatos presidenciales y la guerra en que sumio a su país.
Amando a Pablo, odiando a Escobar es tambien la única vision íntima posible del legendario baron del narcotráfico, plena de glamour y espíritu de supervivencia y no exenta de humor. Virginia Vallejo narra esta historia descarnada como nadie más podría haberlo hecho.
Today the United States leads the world in incarceration rates. The country increasingly relies on the prison system as a “fix” for the regulation of societal issues. Captivity Beyond Prisons is the first full-length book to explicitly link prisons and incarceration to the criminalization of Latina (im)migrants.
Starting in the 1990s, the United States saw tremendous expansion in the number of imprisoned (im)migrants, specifically Latinas/os. Consequently, there was also an increase in the number of deportations. In addition to regulating society, prisons also serve as a reproductive control strategy, both in preventing female inmates from having children and by separating them from their families. With an eye to racialized and gendered technologies of power, Escobar argues that incarcerated Latinas are especially depicted as socially irrecuperable because they are not considered useful within the neoliberal labor market. This perception impacts how they are criminalized, which is not limited to incarceration but also extends to and affects Latina (im)migrants’ everyday lives. Escobar also explores the relationship between the immigrant rights movement and the prison abolition movement, scrutinizing a variety of social institutions working on solutions to social problems that lead to imprisonment.
Accessible to both academics and those in the justice and social service sectors, Escobar’s book pushes readers to consider how, even in radical spaces, unequal power relations can be reproduced by the very entities that attempt to undo them.
