Abismos temporales by Nelly Richard it is an urgent and necessary book in the current context of redefinitions of bodies, sexes and genders propelled by feminism. Her reflections and warnings go from the First Congress of Female Literature of the year 1987, through the risky readings of the transvestite contortions of the years of dictatorship and transition, until arriving at the resistances of today with a queer theory that has trouble focusing on the dissenting corporality of the South

This is a direct challenge to the notion of library neutrality, especially in the present context of war, revolution, and social change. This book locates library and information workers as participants and interventionists in social conflicts. The strategies for social action worldwide were chosen because of their connection to elements of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) that relate particularly to core library values, information ethics, and global information justice. This book also encourages readers to pay attention to links between library and information work and the following solidarity rights not currently incorporated into any legally-binding human rights framework. The aim is primarily at librarians, archivists, educators and students. Content consists of essential concepts presented in accessible terms (e.g., critical librarianship, information ethics, global information justice, human rights), along with a practical orientation to action on contemporary issues (e.g., intellectual freedom, intellectual property, preservation, cultural destruction, censorship, public access to government information, commercialization, academic freedom, workplace speech, international relations, anonymity, privacy, confidentiality, human security, national security policies, transborder data flow, and information poverty)

Klappentext: ¿Cómo entendemos y utilizamos algunas palabras que surgen en el activismo, las prácticas artísticas, los estudios feministas y sobre la sexualidad, y desde posiciones subalternas que, aunque estén traducidas al español, encierran cierta dificultad?, ¿o se dicen en otros idiomas? "Barbarismos queer y otras esdrújulas" es un texto colectivo que surge de la necesidad de pensar sobre cómo se produce el lenguaje que usamos, con una mirada crítica sobre cómo somos sujetos, objetos y productores de conocimiento, al tiempo que somos conscientes de los procesos coloniales y de asimilación en los que estamos inmersas. Ofrecemos cincuenta y tres entradas que analizan estos barbarismos, muchos de ellos anglicismos, y que han sido realizadas por especialistas que tratan de ofrecer una definición imperfecta e inacabada, así como una historia de su uso y sus viajes entre lenguas y culturas. Dichas entradas persiguen provocar curiosidad y ser un punto de partida posible para el debate, un debate en que puedan converger los movimientos sociales y los estudios críticos sociales, culturales y artísticos.
