John Edward Trujillo Ríos — Wed, 09 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0100

After fifty years of confrontation, the Colombian government signed the peace agreement with the FARC-EP (Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces). Since November 24th, 2016, with the consolidation of the agreement at the Colón Theater located in Bogotá- Colombia, a schedule for the post-conflict period was implemented by the government.

Elisa Fernández Bascones — Wed, 18 May 2022 00:00:00 +0200

Our objective will be to reflect on the idea of rootedness by referring to authors as relevant as Heidegger or P. Sloterdijk. The meaning of human existence needs the depth of the earth. The essence of rootlessness lies in the fact of becoming a stranger to the homeland. We are going to reflect on the technique as a possible cause of current uprooting. Rootedness will be defined as the possibility of being close-to: close-to-oneself, close-to-the-Other, close-to-the-Earth, close-to-the-future, and close-to-death. This proximity could be recovered to the extent that we are able to rediscover the meaning of things.
