Jóvenes. Entre el palimpsesto y el hipertexto


Book Description

Jesús Martín-Barbero es conocido como el «maestro» de los estudios sobre Juventud y el gran especialista en cultura popular. Además, es considerado uno de los mayores expertos a nivel internacional en temas de comunicación, unos de los principales fundadores de los estudios comunicacionales y el autor de la Teoría de la mediación. Es el autor de referencia internacional para los análisis sobre sujetos juveniles y protagonismo social, palimpsestos de identidad, desafíos de la juventud, educación de los jóvenes, mundo digital y transformaciones de la subjetividad. Sus aportes en los estudios sobre la globalización y en la relación entre medios de comunicación y público le han proyectado como uno de los autores más sugestivos y relevantes de la intelectualidad crítica latinoamericana. En las dos últimas décadas, Jesús Martín-Barbero ha recopilado una serie de estimulantes textos sobre los jóvenes, reunidos ahora en este libro. La mayor parte de ellos giran en torno a dos conceptos centrales que el autor utiliza de manera metafórica y que se reflejan en el título. El palimsesto hace referencia a los antiguos pergaminos y remite a la constante rescritura y reciclaje que las culturas juveniles hacen del pasado. El hipertexto, por el contrario, nos conduce a las modernas ciberculturas y a las novedosas formas de comunicación a través de las cuales los jóvenes imaginan el futuro. Este uso creativo sobre ambos conceptos ha tenido un gran impacto en los estudios culturales y sobre la juventud en el ámbito iberoamericano.

La Carroza Ha Llegado


Book Description

Después de muchos intentos de concepción, Callie finalmente pudo quedar embarazada. Pero al inicio del embarazo ella tuvo hemorragias. Había peligro de que perdiera al bebe y posiblemente su propia vida. Después de que varios doctores de grandes hospitales le recomendaron interrumpir el embarazo del niño que aun no conocían; ella y su esposo Henry decidieron continuar y encontraron ayuda y confort en el hospital del condado de Los Ángeles. Ellos sabían que si ese bebe no nacía, entonces no habría otro. La pareja había sido advertida por los doctores que naciera o no el bebe, ella debía hacerse una histerectomía permanente para poder detener la hemorragia que atentaba con su vida. Esto terminaría con toda esperanza de tener una maternidad natural para los Wares. El bebe Donald nació, pero desarrolló Polio a una edad muy temprana, aun así pude superar este desafío para convertirme en un bailarín profesional. Fui criado en un vecindario pobre pero cambie esa situación convirtiéndome en un doctor reconocido y agente de cambio. Fui desde mi pobre vecindario hasta New York, Washington, DC, y Cambridge MA; y luego regresar a casa para enfrentarme con la oposición de doctores en un hospital local y en uno de las corporaciones hospitalarias más grandes del mundo. Sobre la marcha, en plena lucha, el Espíritu Santo se me reveló en voz, visiones, señales físicas y maravillas en mi vida. Estos acontecimientos me dieron la victoria sobre la tiranía, para el beneficio de todos nosotros. Esta historia de viada es sobre la victoria sobre todas las adversidades. Dice que Dios vive, y se interesa por las vidas de todos, e intervendrá en nuestras vidas por el bien de todos nosotros.
