Paperback. Zustand: Good. Am rica Latina vivi intensamente la Guerra Fr a en la pol tica, pero tambi n en la cultura. La Revoluci n cubana jug un papel central en aquel conflicto, en buena medida, por haber sido un movimiento pol tico que en el lapso de una d cada recorri casi todas las facetas de la izquierda regional. La polis literaria nos muestra ese camino y pone voz a todos los intelectuales de aquella poca. La querella ideol gica de la Guerra Fr a, en los a os sesenta y setenta, reformul el gran tema cultural de las identidades nacionales y el latinoamericanismo, que se discut a desde la guerra de 1898 en el Caribe, y la nueva novela fue sometida a indagaciones cr ticas encontradas a partir de diversas ideolog as de izquierda. se fue el contexto de la entrada en escena del llamado boom de la nueva novela latinoamericana.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Latin America experienced the Cold War very intensely politically, but also culturally. The Cuban Revolution played a key role in that conflict, largely because it was a political movement that in the span of a decade touched upon almost all aspects of the left within that region. The Literary Polis narrates those developments and gives a voice to intellectuals of that era. Ideological arguments of the Cold War reaffirmed a great cultural concept of national identity and Latin Americanism; at this time, the new novel was subjected to critical analyses by many different ideologies. It is within this context that the so-called boom of the new Latin American novel came to the forefront. A generation of writers born in the twenties and thirties, such as Julio Cortazar, Augusto Roa Bastos, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Carlos Fuentes, Jose Donoso or Guillermo Cabrera Infante, began publishing stories and novels in the years prior the Cuban Revolution in January 1959. Literature, particularly novels, which those writers aspired to create, were very much part of the ideological conflict of the Cold War. With a new look at the Latin American Boom, Rafael Rojas shares the intellectual and social struggles of that literature which transformed and gave a new twist to Latin American.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents one of the most transformative forces of our time, holding the potential to revolutionize every aspect of society, from healthcare to finance, education to entertainment. Yet, with such power comes an immense responsibility-one that is not only technological but also deeply ethical, social, and legal. In a world that is increasingly driven by digital advancements, AI raises critical dilemmas about how we balance its remarkable benefits with the preservation of fundamental human rights and values.This volume takes a comprehensive and insightful approach to examining the ethical, social, and legal challenges posed by AI. It explores key issues like algorithmic bias, job automation, and the use of facial recognition, offering a deep reflection on their potential impact on society. The author, Rafael Rojas M, delves into these topics with both passion and intellectual rigor, urging readers to confront the complexities of how we, as a society, engage with rapidly advancing technologies. One of the primary areas of concern in the book is algorithmic bias, a challenge that is often overlooked despite its profound implications. AI systems, although designed to be objective, are only as unbiased as the data they are trained on. This can lead to the reinforcement of societal inequalities and discrimination, especially in sensitive areas like hiring, law enforcement, and lending practices. As these technologies are deployed in more facets of our lives, the potential for perpetuating existing biases becomes an urgent issue, demanding greater attention and more robust ethical frameworks.Another critical area explored is the use of facial recognition technology. While this technology can offer convenience and security, it also raises profound concerns about privacy and civil liberties. The widespread deployment of facial recognition systems, often without the consent of individuals, could lead to intrusive surveillance practices and an erosion of privacy rights. This book encourages readers to think critically about where the line should be drawn in balancing safety and security with the fundamental right to privacy.Rafael Rojas M does not shy away from exploring the most complex ethical dilemmas associated with emerging technologies. He tackles tough topics like the role of AI in autonomous weapon systems-machines capable of making life-or-death decisions without human intervention. These technologies not only challenge traditional notions of warfare but also force us to confront the ethical implications of allowing machines to decide on the use of lethal force.The book ultimately invites readers to consider a key question: How can we balance technological innovation with the protection of human values? As we move toward a future where AI and automation play an even more dominant role, we must ensure that these technologies are not just developed for their own sake but are aligned with the greater good. How can we ensure that AI serves humanity without compromising the ethical principles that uphold our dignity, autonomy, and equality? This volume challenges readers to explore these tough questions and urges a critical examination of how we can shape a future where technology benefits all of humanity without undermining the core ethical values that define us. In a world where technology is advancing faster than ever, this volume provides the tools to think critically about the future of AI. It invites us to build a future where innovation enhances human potential without compromising our collective integrity. Don't miss the opportunity to engage with these pressing issues and gain valuable insights into how we can guide the development of AI in a way that is ethically sound and socially respons Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Rafael Yuste, neurocientifico espanol, director del Centro de Neurotecnologia de la Universidad de Columbia e ideador de la iniciativa BRAIN, nos presenta su primera obra de divulgacion: El cerebro, el teatro del mundo. Yuste nos invita a un viaje fascinante a traves de la neurociencia moderna para descubrirnos uno de los mayores misterios de la ciencia: como ochenta mil millones de neuronas se organizan para crear la mente humana. Su teoria, El Teatro del Mundo, concibe el cerebro como una maquina de prediccion del futuro que utiliza las redes neuronales para generar un modelo del mundo como si fuese un prototipo de realidad virtual. A traves del relato de los principales descubrimientos de cientificos como Santiago Ramon y Cajal, Rafael Lorente de No, Thomas Graham Brown, Ethel Browne, Rita Levi-Montalcini o Christiane Nuesslein-Volhard, Yuste nos desvela, con un estilo sencillo y entretenido, que es el sistema nervioso, como surgio en la evolucion y como el cerebro utiliza los sentidos para predecir el futuro y elegir una accion inteligente que nos permita actuar en el mundo. Lleno de anecdotas personales, El cerebro, el teatro del mundo es un extraordinario recorrido por la historia reciente de la neurociencia que explica que filosofos como Kant o escritores como Calderon de la Barca o Proust se adelantaron a su tiempo y fueron capaces de concebir teorias que en la actualidad se estan confirmando. Para Yuste, al comprender los misterios del cerebro nos situamos en los albores de un nuevo renacimiento, un nuevo humanismo que nos permitira dar un paso historico que ayude a las futuras generaciones a proyectar un mundo mejor. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Rafael Yuste, a Spanish neuroscientist, director of Columbia University's Neurotechnology Center, and founder of the BRAIN initiative, presents his first popular science book: El cerebro, el teatro del mundo. Yuste takes us on a fascinating journey through modern neuroscience to unravel one of science's greatest mysteries--how eighty billion neurons come together to create the human mind. His theory, El teatro del mundo, conceives the brain as a future-predicting machine that uses neural networks to construct a model of the world, almost like a virtual reality prototype. Through the stories of key scientific discoveries by researchers such as Santiago Ramon y Cajal, Rafael Lorente de No, Thomas Graham Brown, Ethel Browne, Rita Levi-Montalcini, and Christiane Nuesslein-Volhard, Yuste--using a clear and engaging style--reveals what the nervous system is, how it emerged through evolution, and how the brain uses the senses to anticipate the future and make intelligent decisions that guide our actions. Packed with personal anecdotes, El cerebro, el teatro del mundo offers an extraordinary tour through the recent history of neuroscience, explaining how philosophers like Kant and writers such as Calderon de la Barca and Proust were ahead of their time--conceiving theories that are now being scientifically confirmed. For Yuste, understanding the mysteries of the brain places us at the dawn of a new renaissance--a new humanism that will help future generations shape a better world.
