On January 14, 2020, a new Central American Caravan left San Pedro Sula: the first of that year. Although the COVID-19 pandemic was only starting, these caravans would continue.

"Pulsión de vida” y potencialidades de la paz: reflexiones sobre epistemologías y estéticas de paz desde la literatura en México
Un concepto de paz que no esté formulado de manera heterónoma, es decir, que no dependa de la violencia, necesita una crítica tajante de la ontoteología, entendida como las éticas occidentales incuestionables y la negatividad que fundan las nociones de política y biopolítica. Debido a la violencia en la historia de la humanidad, encontramos en la estética literaria tanto el desobramiento de la violencia como signos de pulsión de vida que emergen en medio de esta, los cuales permiten experimentar las potencialidades del vivir y el convivir.

Modalidades de memoria y archivos afectivos: Cine de mujeres en Centroamérica
The productions analyzed here are characterized, as is natural, by varied cinematographic planes, some more poetic than others, but in all of them there is a direct participation of the body and subjectivity in the processes they narrate, places where data persist that a sociological statistical count is not enough.
