[Spanish] - El alcohólico nace o se hace: Problemas de Alcohólismo

"¿Cuándo se considera a una persona alcohólica? Deseo intenso de beber alcohol. Falta de control sobre el consumo de alcohol, referido tanto a la necesidad de empezar a beber, como a la incapacidad para suspender o reducir este consumo. Bebe cuando está solo, y trata de ocultar su conducta a las personas de su entorno. Las personas alcohólicas tienen síntomas de abstinencia cuando dejan de beber, y además desarrollan tolerancia al alcohol. Esto significa que necesitan beber más para obtener el mismo grado de embriaguez. Los alcohólicos tienen una necesidad compulsiva de beber, y siguen bebiendo aunque esto les cause problemas graves."

Becoming Billie Holiday

"In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on April 7, 1915, Sadie Fagan gave birth to a daughter. She named her Eleanora. The world, however, would know her as Billie Holiday, possibly the greatest jazz singer of all time. Eleanora's journey into legend took her through pain, poverty, and run-ins with the law. By the time she was fifteen, she knew she possessed something that could possibly change her life—a voice. Eleanora could sing. That remarkable voice led her to Harlem nightclubs, the Apollo Theater, and a place in the spotlight with some of the era's hottest big bands. Billie Holiday sang from somewhere inside her that made it seem as if she had lived each lyric, and in many ways she had. This unique talent is what made Billie Holiday more than a singer. She was an artist. Through a sequence of raw and poignant poems that form the singer's fictional memoir, award-winning poet Carole Boston Weatherford chronicles Eleanora Fagan's metamorphosis into Billie Holiday. We hear the intimate voice of the artist as she examines her young life, her fight for survival, and the dream she pursued with passion."

[Spanish] - La dictadura del amor propio

"El esperado nuevo libro de la psicóloga y activista feminista Nerea De Ugarte López. En una cultura en la que estamos bombardeadas por mensajes del tipo: '¡Ámate!, ¡Tu único límite eres tú!', '¡Eres capaz de todo, solo debes proponértelo!', no tenemos permitido decir que no sabemos cómo amarnos; que estamos cansadas y que nuestra autoestima es muchísimo más que mirarnos al espejo y repetir que somos mujeres 'empoderadas'. En este texto, la psicóloga Nerea de Ugarte López hace un análisis crítico a los conceptos de amor propio y positivismo tóxico, al impacto de las frases de autoayuda que explotan no solo las influencers, sino también la publicidad; y propone una alternativa desde su experiencia como profesional de la salud mental con perspectiva de género: la autoestima política. Es decir, abordar esta problemática como una responsabilidad colectiva y no solo individual. Con la participación de reconocidas activistas feministas de Chile y Latinoamérica, este libro es una herramienta para empezar a cuestionarnos sin vuelta atrás."
