The Strange Order of Things is a pathbreaking investigation into homeostasis, the condition that regulates human physiology within the range that makes possible not only the survival but also the flourishing of life. Antonio Damasio makes clear that we descend biologically, psychologically, and even socially from a long lineage that begins with single living cells; that our minds and cultures are linked by an invisible thread to the ways and means of ancient unicellular life and other primitive life-forms.

Por qué en España estamos perdiendo la batalla contra la violencia y el crimen.

"España no está preparada para afrontar la nueva delincuencia que se ha impuesto en buena parte de Europa".

"Todo va bien. Nada discute el mensaje. Nadie discute el mensaje. Pobre del que discuta el mensaje".

En la era digital y globalizada, la delincuencia se ha extendido y profesionalizado con una fuerza y velocidad desconocidas, pero el modelo policial encargado de combatirla permanece desfasado, paralizado por el miedo y la corrección política...

Death is an inevitable part of our lives, yet most societies have struggled to come to terms with it. Today, we continue to grapple with the enduring questions: What is death? Why do we fear it?

Incluso en los países más desarrollados del mundo podemos encontrar regiones que se han quedado atrás: desde Yorkshire del Sur, un lugar que fue fundamental durante la Revolución Industrial y que ahora es el condado más empobrecido de Inglaterra, hasta Barranquilla, antaño la puerta de salida de Colombia al Caribe y que hoy se enfrenta a serias dificultades. Y todavía resulta más alarmante observar cómo han aumentado las desigualdades entre estas áreas y el resto del mundo a lo largo del último siglo. ¿Por qué nos hemos olvidado de estos lugares? ¿Y qué podemos hacer al respecto?

Se a antropofagia é, de fato, uma marca do modo de produção da subjetividade e da cultura no Brasil, como pensavam os modernistas de 1922, há poucas razões para alegrar-se: a hibridação, a flexibilidade, a liberdade de experimentação e a irreverência por si mesmas não asseguram, de modo algum, a vitalidade de uma sociedade. (...) Embora haja uma variedade de posições entre estes dois extremos da micropolítica antropofágica no Brasil, a balança tende frequentemente para o polo reativo, o que cria um terreno fértil para a incorporação acrítica da política de produção da subjetividade.

The knowledge of death is so terrifying that we live most of our lives in denial of it. Our fear of death has underpinned our religions, inspired our cultures, and also driven our science. Today we are living through a revolution in biology. Giant strides are being made in our understanding of why we age and die, and why some species live longer than others. Immortality, once a faint hope, has never been more within our grasp. Here, Nobel Prize-winning biologist Venki Ramakrishnan offers a definitive look at why we die - and whether we can do anything about it.

'Grief is simply love in its most wild and painful form,' says Megan Devine, and 'it is a natural and sane response to loss.' So, why does our culture treat grief like a disease to be cured as quickly as possible?

In social movements, some heartbreaks are all but inevitable. Campaigns will be lost. Mental health crises will occur. Social ills, like gender-based violence, will manifest themselves in movement spaces. People will experience profound personal losses. Grief, alienation, and despair can grind us under.

Read This When Things Fall Apart is a care package for activists and organizers building power under fascistic, demoralizing conditions.
