Cuarenta siglos del Oulipo, Marcel Bénabou Para los oulipianos, un año vale un siglo. He aquí la larga historia de un grupo que, sumando conceptos matemáticos y restricciones literarias, explora los recursos infinitos de la lengua. Los miembros del Oulipo acostumbran definirse como: " Ratas que deben construir ellas mismas el laberinto del cual se proponen salir"(1) (Tienen cierta coquetería). Pero habría que desglosar esta fórmula. Para ello, sumerjámonos un poco en la historia. Bajo la dirección de sus dos fundadores, Raymond Queneau y su cómplice intelectual, François Le Lionnais (sin duda el más prodigioso coleccionista de saberes de su generación), el grupo reunió una decena de personajes tan marginales como inventivos: Noël Arnaud, Jacques Bens, Claude Berge, Paul Braffort, Jacques Duchateau, Latis, Jean Lescure, Jean Queval, Albert-Marie Schmidt(3). De entrada se negó a reconocerse como un movimiento literario. Aclarado esto, una definición más optimista del proyecto se hizo realidad. Del buen uso de la restricción

Earthlings - VEG-TV EARTHLINGS is a feature length documentary about humanity's absolute dependence on animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and scientific research) but also illustrates our complete disrespect for these so-called "non-human providers." The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIATOR) and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby. With an in-depth study into pet stores, puppy mills and animals shelters, as well as factory farms, the leather and fur trades, sports and entertainment industries, and finally the medical and scientific profession, EARTHLINGS uses hidden cameras and never before seen footage to chronicle the day-to-day practices of some of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. Powerful, informative and thought-provoking, EARTHLINGS is by far the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals, and human economic interests.
El servicio de referencia: conociendo las áreas de la biblioteca / Servicio de Información En mis clases en la UNMDP siempre hacemos hincapié en que el Bibliotecario del área de referencia o atención al público es la cara de nuestra Biblioteca o Servicio de Información, y hoy podemos decir que no sólo presencialmente sino en la red; ya que al igual que en el resto de los ámbitos de nuestras vidas, si en algún comercio nos atienden mal o de mala gana raramente volveremos. Si esto mismo lo extrapolamos al mundo virtual, el profesional a cargo de la atención de los servicios virtuales de la biblioteca debe actuar con cordialidad, amabilidad, buena escritura y una actitud proactiva. En este post me gustaría reflotar la definición de Servicio de referencia, referencia digital, Proceso de referencia e intentar comentar el valor de brindar un servicio satisfactorio a nuestros usuarios.

califia "...yo me había preguntado de qué manera un libro puede ser infinito. No conjeturé otro procedimiento que el de un volumen cíclico, circular. Un volumen cuya última página fuera idéntica a la primera, con posibilidad de continuar indefinidamente. (...) En todas las ficciones, cada vez que un hombre se enfrenta con diversas alternativas, opta por una y elimina las otras; en la del casi inextricable Ts'ui Pên, opta -simultáneamente- por todas.

El soporte digital fractura la linealidad narrativa propia de los soportes analógicos, confiere al texto una arquitectura poliédrica, lo abre y lo expande, lo fragmenta y lo convierte, gracias a las redes, en ubicuo y participativo. 3.
random word generator | fourteenminutes.com Stuck for a word? Need something to adequately describe your day yet doesn't already have some other meaning?
