Tiempo contigo
by Felipe CorvoCuando la casi tragedia de un hecho inesperado acaba transformando la relación de un padre y un hijo que no se llevaban bien.
Tiempo de conversar: Un espacio de reflexión interdisciplinaria sobre la trama social que nos contiene
by Liliana González Natalia BrusaLuego de su best seller Volver a mirarnos, Liliana González y Natalia Brusa analizan cómo internet y la revolución digital están cambiando la dinámica de la infancia, la adolescencia, la familia y su impacto en la sociedad. Infancia y adolescencia, educación, tecnología y entramado social: sobre estos cuatro ejes se asienta Tiempo de conversar, una propuesta que plantea algunos interrogantes centrales: ¿Qué nos está pasando que vamos perdiendo humanidad? ¿Por qué cuesta tanto el registro del otro como semejante y diferente? ¿Cómo ven los niños y adolescentes a los adultos que los rodean? ¿Cuándo los adultos dejamos de ser ejemplos a seguir? ¿Qué pasa con la educación en los escenarios fundantes: familia y escuela? ¿Qué ven los niños y los adolescentes en sus docentes? ¿Qué ven los docentes en sus alumnos? ¿Cómo son los consumos de chicos y chicas y cómo se relacionan entre ellos? Estos temas son abordados a partir de múltiples enfoques: desde la sobreexposición de los niños a las pantallas y redes sociales, la manera en que los chicos usan internet y los hábitos que trajo la era digital a nuestras vidas hasta su impacto en el espacio familiar, escolar y social. Profesionales de la salud y de la educación fueron convocados a participar para compartir su mirada sobre las infancias y adolescencias actuales, su modo de aprender, de vincularse y de reaccionar en una sociedad que a veces sienten como contradictoria y violenta. Con un estilo riguroso pero ameno, Liliana González y Natalia Brusa nos invitan a reflexionar sobre temas que interpelan nuestra vida cotidiana.

Es una delicia. Y es obligatoria.»El Correo Gallego «Imbuido de realismo mágico, la historia de amores perdidos de López Barrio brilla con luz propia.

Tierra madre
by Paul TherouxLa esperada gran novela de Paul Theroux, fruto de años de reflexión literaria y afectiva. El retrato de una madre única que también se parece a todas. «Uno viene de una familia como de una tierra lejana. La nuestra era un caso aparte, con sus propias costumbres y crueldades.» Para los habitantes de Cape Cod, madre es un ejemplo de piedad, austeridad y trabajo duro. Para su marido y sus siete hijos, es egoísta, a veces mezquina, siempre tirana y disfruta enfrentándolos entre sí. Angela, su favorita que murió en el parto, es la única capaz de entenderla, según dice a los demás. Entre estos se incluyen Fred, un abogado de oficio; Floyd, un divertido profesor; un par de inseparables hermanas cuya devoción por la figura materna ha consumido sus vidas, y JP, el narrador, un escritor de éxito cuyo trabajo menosprecia. Tierra madre es un punzante retrato del impacto que el narcisismo materno puede tener en una familia, un cautivador, doloroso y a menudo divertido relato sobre una gran familia que discute, conspira, se confabula y finalmente vence los dolorosos lazos que la unen. Reseñas:«Leer Tierra madre es como ver un accidente de coche a cámara lenta. Es un ejercicio sobre la mezquindad y los ajustes de cuentas. También es divertido. Theroux posee un sentido del humor fabuloso y canalla.»Stephen King, New York Times Book Review «Theroux nos brinda la que posiblemente sea su mejor novela: un cautivador, emotivo y despiadado análisis de la familia y de uno mismo. Su prosa triunfa. Sobresale en su representación del tiempo y el espacio. Una agridulce y brutal saga familiar que ofrece la suficiente redención como para que el viaje merezca la pena.»Shelf Awareness «Theroux ha tratado los problemas familiares antes..., pero en Tierra madre ha pasado a otro nivel. Disparatada e impredecible. Su prosa es suave en sus insinuaciones y feroz en sus zarpazos. Fusionando angustia y regocijo, Theroux evoca algo memorable: un reino del que muchos provienen y al que algunos de nosotros no queremos volver.»The Boston Globe «Theroux está más en forma que nunca.»Kirkus Reviews «Página a página, Tierra madre cautiva y divierte. Una afilada comedia doméstica sobre la avaricia, el resentimiento y los lazos que ahogan. El final es emotivo y adecuado. Comedia y tragedia se despliegan a partes iguales.»Portland Press Herald «Rica en detalles, intrincada y oscura.»Library Journal «Theroux sirve una humeante sopa de familia disfuncional.»Vanity Fair

Ties That Bind: Familial Homophobia and Its Consequences
by Sarah SchulmanAlthough acceptance of difference is on the rise in America, it’s the rare gay or lesbian person who has not been demeaned because of his or her sexual orientation, and this experience usually starts at home, among family members.<P> Whether they are excluded from family love and approval, expected to accept second-class status for life, ignored by mainstream arts and entertainment, or abandoned when intervention would make all the difference, gay people are routinely subjected to forms of psychological and physical abuse unknown to many straight Americans.<P> “Familial homophobia,” as prizewinning writer and professor Sarah Schulman calls it, is a phenomenon that until now has not had a name but that is very much a part of life for the LGBT community. In the same way that Susan Brownmiller’s Against Our Will transformed our understanding of rape by moving the stigma from the victim to the perpetrator, Schulman’s Ties That Bind calls on us to recognize familial homophobia. She invites us to understand it not as a personal problem but a widespread cultural crisis. She challenges us to take up our responsibilities to intervene without violating families, community, and the state. With devastating examples, Schulman clarifies how abusive treatment of homosexuals at home enables abusive treatment of homosexuals in other relationships as well as in society at large.<P> Ambitious, original, and deeply important, Schulman’s book draws on her own experiences, her research, and her activism to probe this complex issue—still very much with us at the start of the twenty-first century—and to articulate a vision for a more accepting world.
