La obra de Manuel Piña (La Habana, 1958) se inicia en la década de los noventa del pasado siglo durante el tristemente conocido "periodo especial en tiempos de paz"; uno de los momentos más difíciles desde el triunfo de la Revolución Cubana. A pesar de la crudeza de esta grave depresión política y económica, Manuel y otros muchos artistas se sintieron, en cierto modo, estimulados y decidieron expresar, a través de su trabajo, los graves episodios que daban cuerpo a esta crisis. Ayudado por los aires de renovación que experimentó el arte cubano de los ochenta, la poética de este excelente artista ha propiciado un importante giro conceptual de la fotografía en Cuba. Así, la práctica artística de Manuel Piña subvirtió claramente el valor propagandístico de la fotografía documental y construyó un modo de hacer que supo cuestionar y denunciar las aristas de un desgastado sistema político. A través del análisis de sus imágenes, comprobaremos como los dogmas tradicionales del medio fotográfico se modifican drásticamente. Ya no hay lugar para la "veracidad" y la "objetividad". La metáfora crítica se convertirá ahora en uno de los mejores aliados de la producción cultural cubana de finales del siglo XX. ; ABSTRACT: Images of Uneasiness: The work of Manuel Piña (Havana, 1958) begins in the 1990's during the notorious "special period in peacetime", one of the toughest times since the triumph of the Cuban Revolution. Despite the crudeness of this serious political and economic crisis, Manuel and many other artists were, in some way, encouraged and decided to express, through their work, the serious incidents derived from this crisis. Aided by the winds of renewal experienced by Cuban art of the eighties, the poetry of this great artist has brought about a major conceptual shift in Cuban photography. Thus, Manuel Piña's artistic practice clearly subverted the propaganda value of documentary photography and built a way to of doing that managed to question and denounce the frayed edges of a political system. Through analysis of their images, we can understand how the traditional dogmas of the photographic medium are changed drastically. There is no place for "truth" and "objectivity". A critical metaphor will now become one of the best allies of Cuban cultural production in the late twentieth century.

Exploring the limits of the visual and beyond what can be seen, Boundary Images posits these boundaries as starting points for the production of new and radically different ways of knowing about the world"--

"Das Zürich Image Monitoring (ZIM) dient zur Messung des Images der Region Zürich bei der Bevölkerung im Kanton, in der Schweiz und im Ausland. Gemessen wurde das Image in den Aufgabenfeldern des Kantons und in weiteren standortrelevanten Themenfeldern. Das ZIM bietet ein wirklichkeitsgetreues Abbild der Meinungen und Einstellungen, welche die verschiedenen Zielgruppen haben. Es bietet eine Datenbasis für die Ableitung von Massnahmen durch die politischen Entscheidungsträgerinnen und Entscheidungsträger. Anlass für das Zürich Image Monitoring ist, dass das Image von grosser Bedeutung für die Region Zürich und für ihre Zielgruppen ist. Dies haben weltweit Standorte erkannt, die in direkter Konkurrenz zum Standort Zürich stehen. Sie schenken ihrem Image vermehrte Aufmerksamkeit. Um im internationalen Wettbewerb zu bestehen, ist daher die Kenntnis des eigenen Images von grosser Bedeutung. Kenntnis des eigenen Images ist für die Region Zürich als Standort wichtig. Hintergrund Zahlreiche Untersuchungen belegen die Bedeutung von Images für menschliche Entscheidungen. Ein Grund dafür ist die grosse Menge an Informationen, welche in der Wissens- und Informationsgesellschaft täglich anfällt. Images erfüllen hier die Funktion von mentalen Faustregeln, welche die Entscheidungsfindung erleichtern. Dies gilt auch für Entscheidungen, die eine Region betreffen, etwa die Standortwahl bei der Firmengründung oder bei der Entscheidung einer Familie zur Wohnsitznahme. Das Image beeinflusst die Entscheidung für oder wider einen Standort und die Zufriedenheit mit einem gewählten Standort. Der Erfolg eines Standorts hängt auch davon ab, welches Image er bei seinen Zielgruppen hat. Dabei spielen subjektive Einflussgrössen eine bedeutende Rolle. Es ist oft sogar weniger wichtig, welche Eigenschaften eine Region tatsächlich hat, sondern wie die Wahrnehmung dieser Eigenschaften ist. Der Auftrag dieser Studie bestand daher aus der Messung der imagerelevanten Wahrnehmungen bei den Zielgruppen des Kantons. Gemessen wurde die Wahrnehmung der Region Zürich aus allen relevanten Blickwinkeln." (Autorenreferat)

En América Latina, la actualización de la derecha ha optado por el discurso del optimismo a la par que se produce un vaciamiento de las políticas de derechos y una clara persecución de los actores que las llevaron adelante. La pregunta central de este artículo consiste en descifrar cómo se van construyen estos procesos que se presentan como imperceptibles, a veces negados y otras estratégicamente ocultados de la visibilidad social y que, al mismo tiempo, logran una aceptabilidad importante en las democracias modernas mediante la recuperación de viejas reivindicaciones que consolidan zócalos de la percepción y generan nuevas colonialidades. ; In Latin America, the update of the right has chosen for the speech of the optimism alongside it produces a depletion of rights policies and an evident persecution of the actors who took them forward. The central question of this article is to decipher how these processes occurred presented as unnoticeable, sometimes denied and other strategically hidden social visibility and at the same time, achieve an important acceptability in modern democracies in modern democracies through the recovery of old demands that consolidate zócalos of the perception and generate new colonialism. ; Facultad de Periodismo y Comunicación Social
