Episode 35: Alexis Castellanos, Author of “Isla to Island”, and Her Panel Presentation during the Operación Pedro Pan Two-Day Event
No full textIn Part 1 of “Operación Pedro Pan: The Voices and Stories of Cuba’s Child Exodus—A Knights HistoryCast Mini-Series,” the Department of History’s Sebastian Garcia talked with Alexis Castellanos, an author, illustrator, graphic novelist, and a panelist at the esteemed, conspicuous, and powerful “Operación Pedro Pan: Honoring the Cultural, Historical Legacy of Cuba’s Child Exodus” Two-Day Program that Florida Humanities, UCF’s Department of English and Department of Modern Languages and Literatures sponsored (see https://cah.ucf.edu/pedro-pan/ for more details on sponsors and the program in general).
Sebastian structured this specific episode on Alexis Castellanos’ Isla to Island, a wordless graphic novel grounded by her personal family history and the history of Operación Pedro Pan (Operation Peter Pan). By analyzing such a historic event through the medium of fiction, Sebastian argued that this is one of the most unique Knights HistoryCast episodes of all time. Naturally, their conversation expanded to what she talked about during her panel presentation in Panel One, Day 1 of the event that featured “internationally renowned scholars that discussed the political, historical, and cultural legacy of Operación Pedro Pan (1960-1962).” (https://cah.ucf.edu/pedro-pan/)

THE MYSTIC ROAD : SELECTED POEMS - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS
No full text
Alexis karpouzos (born on April 09, 1967) is a philosopher, author, spiritual master and pioneer of higher consciousness. He is author of several books on philosophy, metaphysics, spirituality, modern science. His most famous books are: ‘’Universal consciousness’’, ‘’non-duality’’, ‘’An ocean of souls’’, ‘’Beyond the heaven’’. Alexis Karpouzos is also a recording artist. He has recorded two music albums and twenty-four singles songs. He has also appeared in two documentary films, television and radio productions. He is the pioneer of the post-ontology consciousness and the wisdom of universal wholeness. The global language of poetry of Alexis Karpouzos, by following the paths of wisdom, is a vehicle for transmitting human knowledge and values, history, ancient traditions, and links with nature. It transmits the human values and worldly knowledge that are essential for opening ourselves to the Other. Poetic creation, therefore, forges very strong links between humans -it transcends beyond languages, beliefs and cultures. Each poem appears in its original form, in a vibrant celebration of life, diversity, language, and the enduring power of poetry. At a time when the Humanities are under threat, this book offers a defense of poetry within the context of growing interest in mindfulness in spirituality, in consciousness, in art, in education.</p
Development of a Proposed Community Action Plan for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
Full text linkThe Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) is a national organization that was started back in 1970 by two mothers of sons with type 1 diabetes. Since its founding, JDRF has awarded more than 9.9 million of research in San Diego. JDRF is a volunteer-driven organization with thousands of volunteers in locations worldwide. While JDRF is working hard to find a cure and improve the lives of those living with type 1 diabetes, it also has a goal of providing volunteer-led support programs to people with type 1 diabetes and their families. JDRF San Diego is challenged with being able to provide outreach support to families in the South Bay area. Alicia Milla and Alexis Rodriguez developed a proposed Community Action Plan to assist the San Diego chapter of JDRF in becoming more responsive to the South Bay community.https://digital.sandiego.edu/npi-bpl-communityengagement/1001/thumbnail.jp
Problemática del libro y la lectura en America latina
No full textLes freins à la diffusion et donc à la production du livre en Amérique latine sont principalement le taux élevé d'analphabétisme et le faible pouvoir d'achat d'une grande partie de la population. Cependant des maisons d'édition puissantes ont pu s'établir dans certains pays et les moyens de publication se développent. Aujourd'hui, malgré la concurrence de nouveaux média, la télévision et la radio en particulier, qui sont réputés encourager la paresse naturelle des lecteurs et d'en raréfier le nombre, on assiste néanmoins à un accroissement sensible du nombre de titres publiés et du nombre des écrivains. Cette situation paradoxale est loin d'incliner au pessimisme.Marquez Rodriguez Alexis. Problemática del libro y la lectura en America latina. In: América : Cahiers du CRICCAL, n°23, 1999. Le livre et la lecture. pp. 11-15
