ESPAÑA OCUPA EL LUGAR 35 DE 148 PAÍSES EN COMPETITIVIDAD 
Estrategias para ganar competitividad: innovar frente a reducir salarios 
Por Jorge Blazquez Lidoy | Economistas Frente a la Crisis | Es difícil medir la competitividad de un país. No hay una métrica clara. Por ejemplo, la idea de que los países con superávit de balanza de pagos son “más competitivos” está muy extendida, pero es totalmente falsa.
           
CONSEJO SUPERIOR DE INVESTIGACIONES CIENTÍFICAS 
Rescates e incertidumbres 
Por Alicia Durán | Los PGE 2014 del CSIC merecen un análisis detallado, tanto por ser el mayor centro público de investigación del país, y por tanto el de mayor presupuesto, como por estar en el ojo del huracán después de la situación de práctica quiebra técnica desde julio de 2013.
           
El Presidente del TC debe explicar algunas cosas 
Por Joaquín Aparicio Tovar | Pérez de los Cobos debería dar, en pos de la exigible transparencia y exquisito comportamiento, algunas explicaciones sobre su papel como administrador único de una sociedad fundada en 2003 llamada Labour Prospectives.

JORNADAS DE HUELGA EN LA EDUCACIÓN 
Wert, de persona ‘non grata’ a un “portento de humildad” 
El ministro se jacta de ser un político humilde ante la fuerte contestación suscitada por su ley de Educación y las protestas convocadas esta semana. La Plataforma Estatal por la Escuela Pública ha registrado una carta en el Ministerio en la que declara al ministro “persona non grata” y “enemigo de la educación”.
           
· María Dolores Amorós : La CEOE y el Tribunal de Estrasburgo 
Al parecer no son suficientes las medidas de Ana Mato para matar a los que en este país residimos, y mira que la ministra pone todo su empeño es conseguirlo…
           
FISCALÍA DICE QUE LA SENTENCIA NO DA “NINGUNA ELECCIÓN” 
La Audiencia Nacional excarcela a la etarra Del Río 
El Pleno de la Sala de lo Penal de la Audiencia Nacional ha ordenado por unanimidad la excarcelación de la etarra Inés del Río después de que el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos rechazara este lunes el recurso del Gobierno contra la sentencia que condenó a España a indemnizarla por haberle aplicado la ‘doctrina Parot’ con carácter retroactivo, informaron fuentes jurídicas.

A INICIATIVA DE LA IZQUIERDA PLURAL

The spectre of Kashmir and Bombay Cinema’

‘Transfigured Landscape:
The spectre of Kashmir and Bombay Cinema’

by

Prof. Shohini Ghosh,
Jamia Millia Islamia,
New Delhi.

Abstract:
The brutal unfolding of the violent conflict in Kashmir; its representation and reportage has reconfigured the discursive imagination around the landscape and its people. While images of the picturesque landscape have circulated widely, the inhabitants of Kashmir have been strangely missing. Bombay cinema has for the longest time, privileged the stunning landscape of Kashmir while emptying it of its inhabitants. At the cusp of the 21st century, the missing inhabitants return as militants to haunt the imagination of Bombay cinema catalyzing thereby far-reaching formalist and narrative shifts while at the same time, producing a force field of powerful affects. The spectre of a `resistant’ Kashmir, this presentation will argue, reanimates the cinematic image by inaugurating a `new’ cinema of action, melodrama, sensation and spectacular star bodies. 

Speaker:
Prof. Shohini Ghosh is Sajjad Zaheer Professor at the AJK Mass Communication Research Centre, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi.  She is the author of Fire, A Queer Classic, 2010 and Director of Tales of the Night Fairies, a documentary on the sex-workers movement for decriminalization.
