LANGE OF THE BOOK: Rituals Repetitions for time to take
Once again, and for the twentieth occasion, trust financial cooperative allocates part of its surpluses at the birth of a book, the number 20 of the collection of stories!
For 53 years, in trusting we hug the idea that another world is possible. For this reason, and before the social imbalance and the serious inequalities that we face today, where hegemonic discourses that try to impose identities and deny fundamental rights abound, in trusting cooperative we are decidedly bet on a culture that generates knowledge for freedom of action and thought.
Culture comes from the Latin “cultus”, which means cultivation or care; That is to say, that culture is the maximum expression of well -lived, and we declare it in our collective actions, such as the bazaar of trust, and we try in this new publication of the editorial line to trust, which proposes as theme the rituals.
Other ways, other life forms, involve sensations and ideas, other conceptions. Rituals Repetitions for time to take a bunch of stories that protect the vocation to make you consider and imagine that it is possible to conceive the time, speed and the countercurrent value of the capitalist, technoscientific and “hyperyoic” proposals of the present.
Writing, edition and reading are understood as necessary acts, as rituals, sustained by deep beliefs and devout attention. They are ways of religion with what matters to us, practices that, although they seem everyday, open different and significant spaces over time, constantly cultivate.
“The time you lost with your rose makes your rose so important,” says the fox to the little prince. Perhaps the rituals are not so much to give time to life, but rather to give life to time, make it habitable.
We hope, then, that this book is a provocation to ask about what are those rituals that embellish life, which have become practices that debase existence; What are the collective rituals that build identity and roots, and what are the own, those that make us feel alive.
Trusting culture will always give profits, it is dreaming without measure!
Activities to live reading as experience
In the stand to trust, visitors can enjoy spaces and dynamics designed to connect with books from the playful and sensory:
-
The whisper: a character who, in a low voice, invites to reflect on the ritual in everyday life.
-
Literary cabin: a sound experience to listen to stories with closed eyes.
-
Literary conceive: a memory game with the characters and themes of the editorial line.
-
Editorial Stickers Collection: Unique illustrations inspired by books, available as a gift for those who join social networks to trust.
Everyday rituals such as waiting for sunset or dawn, conserving some recipe, to feed the body and soul, become symbols of this celebration.
That “another possible world” is none other than this, in which we do and we are, but lived and experienced in another way. Trust invites to stop, read, to imagine and to trust the value of the simple, of the shared, of the valuable as what is worth repeating, which is worth the effort to take care of it and to make it last, and give it space.
