The care of the witness : a contemporary history of testimony in crises
\"My preoccupation with witnessing mutated through several phases before it turned into the book you are holding. It germinated while I was writing my PhD dissertation at the Cohn Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Ideas at Tel Aviv University, when the gulf between the theory of testimony that so enchanted contemporary thinking around the ethics of memory on the one hand, and the humanitarian practice of witnessing I was studying on the other, first struck me as philosophically awkward and politically suspect\"-- Provided by publisher.

The grave's a fine and private place
\"\"The world's greatest adolescent British chemist/busybody/sleuth\" (The Seattle Times), Flavia de Luce, returns in a twisty new mystery novel from award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Alan Bradley. In the wake of an unthinkable family tragedy, twelve-year-old Flavia de Luce is struggling to fill her empty days. For a needed escape, Dogger, the loyal family servant, suggests a boating trip for Flavia and her two older sisters. As their punt drifts past the church where a notorious vicar had recently dispatched three of his female parishioners by spiking their communion wine with cyanide, Flavia, an expert chemist with a passion for poisons, is ecstatic. Suddenly something grazes against her fingers as she dangles them in the water. She clamps down on the object, imagining herself as Ernest Hemingway battling a marlin, and pulls up what she expects will be a giant fish. But in Flavia's grip is something far better: a human head, attached to a human body. If anything could take Flavia's mind off sorrow, it is solving a murder--although one that may lead the young sleuth to an early grave\"-- Provided by publisher.

Cognitive islands and runaway echo chambers: problems for epistemic dependence on experts
I propose to study one problem for epistemic dependence on experts: how to locate experts on what I will call cognitive islands. Cognitive islands are those domains for knowledge in which expertise is required to evaluate other experts. They exist under two conditions: first, that there is no test for expertise available to the inexpert; and second, that the domain is not linked to another domain with such a test. Plausible candidates for cognitive islands include the moral and aesthetic domains. Cognitive islands are the places where we have the fewest resources for evaluating experts, which makes our expert dependences particularly risky. Some have argued that cognitive islands lead to the complete unusability of expert testimony: that anybody who needs expert advice on a cognitive island will be entirely unable to find it. I argue against this radical form of pessimism, but propose a more moderate alternative. I demonstrate that we have some resources for finding experts on cognitive islands, but that cognitive islands leave us vulnerable to an epistemic trap which I will call runaway echo chambers. In a runaway echo chamber, our inexpertise may lead us to pick out bad experts, which will simply reinforce our mistaken beliefs and sensibilities.

El testimonio en Latinoamérica: usos y destinos
Ha ocurrido contra las previsiones; ha ocurrido en Europa; increíblemente, ha ocurrido que un pueblo entero civilizado, apenas salido del ferviente florecimiento cultural de Weimar, siguiese a un histrión cuya figura hoy mueve a risa; y, sin embargo, Adolfo Hitler ha sido obedecido y alabado hasta su catástrofe. La relación entre pasado y presente cobra un significado particular en las situaciones postraumáticas porque los actos de rememorar y olvidar reactivan experiencias que ayudan a comprender y situar el presente en un continuum histórico para la reconstrucción del sí mismo individual y colectivo (Pollak, 2006). Sin embargo, como se ha analizado, en contextos de posconflicto estas memorias irrumpen en arenas controversiales. El testimonio tiene un papel central en los espacios de justicia, ya sea para la recolección de hechos y pruebas, el establecimiento de responsabilidad o para la paz y el perdón, pero también cumple un papel fundamental en la construcción de la memoria y la reconstrucción de individuos y sociedades tanto durante como después de los eventos traumáticos.
