Lita Donoso -- Gables
Start: 6:30 pm
Note: This event is in Spanish. Lita Donoso es sicóloga clínica de la Universidad de Chile, con veinticinco años de experiencia como terapeuta. Hoy se dedica exclusivamente a la enseñanza de la autosanación. Es la creadora y maestra del Método Alkymia, aplicación práctica para la cura del cuerpo y mente del Centro Pineal-Pituitaria, actividad que la ha convertido en una viajera frecuente a través del mundo, impartiendo cursos en México, España, Venezuela, Argentina y Portugal. Sus dos libros, El método (Aguilar, 2009) y El método II: El fin de la era del Miedo (Aguilar-Fontanar, 2010) se han convertido en éxito de ventas tanto en Chile como en países vecinos. Esta nueva edición, corregida y aumentada de su primer libro, Sanaciones milagrosas, completa lo que Lita ha denominado: Trilogía del Método Alkymia.
Sharon Potts -- The Devil's Madonna -- Miami Beach
Start: 7:30 pm
Happily married and pregnant with her first child, artist Kali Miller probes Lillian Campbell, her ninety-three year old grandmother, for information about her roots and her mother's accidental death. Kali's questions intensify the profound paranoia that has dominated her grandmother's adult life -- that someone from the past has found her - and with Kali's demand for the truth, Lillian sinks into a life of nightmares and paralyzing fear. Will her life in 1930's Berlin, her loves and lies, and the true meaning of the small painting that she has hidden for more than seventy years be exposed to reveal the hideous secret that has haunted Lillian to this day? Or will the hunt to uncover her past lead to the imminent murder of Lillian and her pregnant granddaughter? Perhaps murder is the only means to keep Kali and her unborn child from a future that no one in the world would ever want to face? Discover what happens in The Devil’s Madonna (Oceanview, $25.95) by Sharon Potts. 
Drs. Rebecca Friedman & Markus Thiel -- European Identity and Culture -- Gables
Start: 8:00 pm
Engaging with recent scholarly debates surrounding the formation of collective transnational identities, this collection draws on the latest empirical case studies to explore the meaning and composition of European identity, the mechanisms that create and shape it and the question of whom it includes. Each author pays close attention to the cultural aspects of identity formation, whether manifested in official, institutional articulations, such as symbols, coinage, ceremonies and discursive manifestations, or in the cultures of the everyday, such as through new forms of communication networks, consumption or leisure.  Edited by Drs. Rebecca Friedman and Markus Thiel, European Identity and Culture is a rich, interdisciplinary investigation of the role of culture in the formation of European identity, whether as a central building block to unity or as a formidable obstacle to a common sense of purpose, this book will be of interest to scholars across the social sciences and humanities working on questions of political culture, European integration, citizenship and (trans-) national identity. Presented in collaboration with Florida International University’s School for International and Public Affairs.
