The UNHCR archives in Geneva are at risk; reading room already closed - and there's a much broader 'humanitarian archive emergency' ongoing with aid budget cuts. aretenews.com/unhcr-refugees…

As aid funds shrink, archivists warn of risks to the humanitarian record

UNHCR's archives are a test case for humanitarians struggling to preserve institutional memory in an era of retrenchment.

Comparto mi columna sobre volver a leer a Marc Bloch, la más reciente incorporación al pantéon francés. eldesconcierto.cl/opinion/le…

Leer a Marc Bloch cuando la verdad ya no importa

El Mes del Libro suele invitar a celebrar la lectura. Tal vez convenga usarlo también para recuperar su dimensión más exigente: leer no para reafirmar convicciones, sino para ponerlas a prueba.
