Authors:   State Organization “Institute of Market and Economic & Ecological Researches of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine”, Klevtsyevych Nataliya
Published: March 2024

Updating the aspects related to the management of enterprises in the conditions of digitalization is becoming extremely important. Now it is important for the management to ensure the activities of enterprises, taking into account the features of the transformation in the direction of the digital economy, to foresee possible related problems, and to develop scenarios for reducing the negative consequences and strengthening the positive results from their activities. The purpose of the article is to present the conceptual foundations of the formation and development of modern concepts of business process management and their use at enterprises of the real sector of the economy in the conditions of digital transformations. The theoretical basis of this scientific work consists of the best practices of managing business processes of the real sector of the economy in the conditions of digital transformations, which are given in works of a theoretical and practical nature. To implement this task and achieve the set goal, the article uses methods of graphic interpretation of the results of analysis and generalization, methods of monographic analysis, and synthesis. It has been proven that a complex of resource and business process management based on digital tools and techniques for improving business processes can provide significant market advantages to enterprises. It is substantiated that the transformation of modern methods and techniques of enterprise management is currently of paramount importance for its sustainable operation and competitiveness, achieving maximum results in the future. All researched approaches to the management of business processes by the author are divided into concepts aimed at improving the work of the enterprise (or those that involve gradual development), those aimed at the radical transformation of its activity (or those that involve innovative development) and intermediate ones. It was determined that the assignment of the management concept to the approach, which involves gradual or innovative development, usually depends on the degree of radical changes that it brings to the already existing practices and structures of enterprise management. The advantages and disadvantages of approaches to the management of business processes of the enterprise in the conditions of digitalization have been formed. It was concluded that the evolution of approaches to enterprise management takes place in the direction of greater flexibility, integration and active interaction with personnel and the external environment. At the same time, it is important to constantly improve and adapt management practices to modern challenges and opportunities.

Published: March 2024

The article examines the peculiarities of conducting a marketing research and develops practical recommendations for promoting services in the hotel and restaurant business market using modern means of advertising in the information space. In order to identify the problems faced by the administration, staff and visitors, a marketing research was conducted in the form of a differentiated survey. The survey considered potentially new online marketing tools for the restaurant’s advertising activities. Given that the administration of the restaurant under study does not have a marketing department, the work in this direction is carried out unsystematically, which undoubtedly affects the level of visits to the restaurant. It is proved that this means of marketing communications will be used to convey information to end consumers (disseminate information about the specific benefits of the service), form a positive attitude of consumers to the institution, create an image of a product or service in their minds. Typical mistakes in the design of a hotel and restaurant website and their presence on the website of the restaurant «See Zone» are identified. As a result of the analysis of the compliance of various advertising media with the target audience, the advertised service, competitors’ advertising media, and the consumer response time, a generalized list of problems and suggestions for their solution was provided. It was also proposed to introduce the position of an SMM manager who would be responsible for promoting the restaurant’s goods and services in various digital media and networks. The complexity of the objects of analytical research of management functions requires the widespread use of modern methods for solving economic problems using mathematics. Mathematical methods accelerate economic analysis, contribute to a more complete consideration of the impact of factors on performance, improve the accuracy of calculations, and allow for forecasting and describing possible scenarios for the development of the economic processes under study. It is proposed to use the formulas of probability theory in solving problems related to the processing and analysis of customer questionnaires of the hotel and restaurant industry to select effective advertising measures.

Published: March 2024

The existence of a problem of conducting business by domestic enterprises due to russia’s military invasion of Ukraine and their reluctance to carry out effective management in the first days of the war is defined in the article. The amount of material damage caused to the national economy, consumer inflation, the level of decline of the national economy, the devaluation of the national currency, which led to the increase in the cost of goods, works and services, are indicated. Characteristic features of the crisis of the enterprise during the war are singled out. Such negative factors of influence on business development as an increase in the level of risk, the complexity of strategic planning and decision-making, the loss of labor force, a decrease in demand, restrictions on access to markets, and an increase in the cost of raw materials, energy, and labor are described. The complexity of the economic situation of agricultural, energy, metallurgical and logistics enterprises, caused by the territorial location and other features characteristic of each type of business, is proved. Despite the complexity of the existing conditions, the development of Ukrainian business, the creation of jobs, the support of the state economy, and the provision of financial assistance to the military were noted. The areas of state support for business are summarized, in particular, new legislative acts and programs for business adaptation to modern realities are indicated, changes in labor and tax legislation regarding the simplification of certain aspects of business activity are described. The government programs and business support initiatives created with the help of the Diya service are characterized, in particular those that help to find employment for a person internally displaced as a result of hostilities during the martial law in Ukraine and to receive compensation from the state for this, to submit an application for receiving free assistance in relocating one’s business to safe regions of the state or participating in a grant competition “is a job” to create, develop or restore one’s own business, or those that contain the necessary information for choosing a financing program, for Ukrainian exporters, and also help businesses communicate effectively with the state, to develop business development strategy and tactics. The main recommendations for overcoming the crisis and business management by applying the anti-crisis management mechanism have been developed. The importance of further legislative changes regarding conducting business with the aim of stabilizing and developing the economy of Ukraine was noted.
ON А SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO ORGANISING BANKS’ INTERNAL CONTROL AND FINANCIAL SUPERVISION
Authors:   University of Customs and Finance, Zarutska Olena , Laptiev Illia ,   University of Customs and Finance
Published: March 2024

The article discusses approaches to organizing internal control procedures in banks, as well as the execution of tasks related to financial monitoring for checking clients and their transactions. Over the past decade, regulators in the Ukrainian financial market have significantly increased requirements for internal control systems, and the cost of organizing corresponding procedures has significantly risen. The increased requirements are linked to the growing risks in the activities of banks, the elevation of international standards in the prevention and combating of money laundering, terrorism financing, and the funding of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. For banking institutions, it is crucial to ensure an acceptable level of operational risks. However, excessive spending on internal procedures can hinder business development. In contrast to the classical approach where internal control serves only to ensure financial stability and minimize operational risk, the possibility of contributing to business development is considered. Internal control procedures can become instruments for creating added value. Mechanisms for implementing a risk-oriented approach to organizing internal control procedures are proposed, with a focus on directing main resources towards areas of heightened risks. If the cost of servicing operations exceeds the financial result of the operation itself, the use of relevant procedures is not advisable. The article provides examples of implementing internal control in a bank, conducts a detailed analysis of typical mistakes, and provides examples of implementing best practices in the automation and digitization of the control environment. Digitization of banking products should also extend to the organization of bank procedures. The development of modern fintech technologies not only enhances the efficiency of internal control but also ensures the cost reduction of relevant procedures. As a result of the research, recommendations are formulated for constructing an internal control system considering the needs of business and operational departments.
GENESIS AND PERIODIZATION OF DEVELOPMENT SOCIAL INSURANCE FUNDS
Authors:   Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture, Korsun Inna
Published: March 2024

The article analyzes the work of modern scientists regarding the genesis and periodization of the development of social insurance funds in foreign countries and Ukraine. A significant contribution to the development of the modern social insurance system was made by Lord William Beveridge of Great Britain, who in 1942 justified the social security of citizens in a report on the topic of Report on Social Insurance and Allied Services. Hence, social security was based on national solidarity and a guaranteed minimum income for all. As the analysis of foreign experience shows, today, in the economically developed countries of Europe, an effective system of social insurance has been formed, which generally satisfies the basic needs of its citizens. The common and distinctive features of the periodization of the stages of the development of social insurance funds are determined. It was established that the processes of social assistance, social support, social protection, and social insurance were formed practically in parallel in different countries of the world, although they had different periods of development, social and financial differences. The classification of the periods of origin and development of social insurance funds in Ukraine has been developed and supplemented. The proposed classification fully covers the main milestones of the birth and formation of social insurance and differs from others as follows: qualitative changes in social insurance at specific stages are taken into account; the boundaries of the stages are substantiated with a corresponding presentation of historically confirmed facts; the views of scientists regarding the characteristics of individual stages are analyzed and summarized. Conclusions were made about the need to optimize social insurance funds and introduce additional levels of insurance, in particular, accumulative pension insurance (security). It is important to study the genesis of the development of social insurance funds, as today’s requirements indicate that the system of social insurance funds needs to be improved and supplemented with voluntary insurance. In particular, in our opinion, it is possible to increase the effectiveness of the existing social insurance funds at the expense of funds that operate on a commercial basis.

Authors: Будянський Дмитро Васильович
Published: March 2024

У статті досліджено сутність і особливості театральної сценографії, розглянуто значення та роль художника в роботі над театральною постановкою. Зокрема доведено, що сценографія є одним із ключових елементів театрального дійства, що поглиблює та розширює мистецький вплив вистави та створює для глядачів незабутнє видовище. Сценографія взаємодіє з усіма елементами вистави, як-от акторська майстерність, музика, сценарій і режисура, створює особливу театральну реальність. Цей вид мистецтва сприяє гармонійному синтезу різних художніх компонентів і забезпечує їх взаємодію для досягнення максимальної виразності. Основну увагу зосереджено на життєвій і творчій біографії одного із провідних українських театральних художників ХХ століття, уродженця Сумщини, Івана Григоровича Курочки-Армашевського. Розглянуто найбільш вагомі театральні постановки, оформлені художником у період роботи в Київському оперному театрі. Зазначено, що роботи І. Курочки-Армашевського були відзначені новаторськими пошуками, що увібрали в себе основні риси авангардистського мистецтва першої половини ХХ століття. Експресивність, гармонійне поєднання барв декорацій і костюмів, метафоричність були характерними рисами митця, які особливо яскраво були втілені в його ранніх роботах. У статті представлено процес трансформації поглядів митця на образну мову сценографії під впливом об’єктивних і суб’єктивних чинників. Досліджено маловідомий період життя художника в еміграції, зокрема участь у мистецьких виставках, оформлення вистав українських театрів, розпис культових споруд. У висновках зазначено, що театральний художник відіграє надзвичайно важливу роль у створенні театральної постановки. Наголошено, що вивчення біографії та творчої спадщини видатних представників української сценографії, особливо пов’язаних із малою батьківщиною, є актуальною та важливою мистецтвознавчою проблемою.

Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy as a Measure of Listening Effort in Older Adults Who Use Hearing Aids
Authors: Rovetti Joseph , Goy Huiwen , Pichora-Fuller M. Kathleen , Russo Frank
Published: March 2024

Listening effort may be reduced when hearing aids improve access to the acoustic signal. However, this possibility is difficult to evaluate because many neuroimaging methods used to measure listening effort are incompatible with hearing aid use. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), which can be used to measure the concentration of oxygen in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), appears to be well-suited to this application. The first aim of this study was to establish whether fNIRS could measure cognitive effort during listening in older adults who use hearing aids. The second aim was to use fNIRS to determine if listening effort, a form of cognitive effort, differed depending on whether or not hearing aids were used when listening to sound presented at 35 dB SL (flat gain). Sixteen older adults who were experienced hearing aid users completed an auditory n-back task and a visual n-back task; both tasks were completed with and without hearing aids. We found that PFC oxygenation increased with n-back working memory demand in both modalities, supporting the use of fNIRS to measure cognitive effort during listening in this population. PFC oxygenation was weakly and nonsignificantly correlated with self-reported listening effort and reaction time, respectively, suggesting that PFC oxygenation assesses a dimension of listening effort that differs from these other measures. Furthermore, the extent to which hearing aids reduced PFC oxygenation in the left lateral PFC was positively correlated with age and pure-tone average thresholds. The implications of these findings as well as future directions are discussed.
Predicting musically induced emotions from physiological inputs: linear and neural network models
Authors: Russo Frank , Vempala Naresh , M. Sandstrom Gillian
Published: March 2024

Listening to music often leads to physiological responses. Do these physiological responses contain sufficient information to infer emotion induced in the listener? The current study explores this question by attempting to predict judgments of “felt” emotion from physiological responses alone using linear and neural network models. We measured five channels of peripheral physiology from 20 participants—heart rate (HR), respiration, galvanic skin response, and activity in corrugator supercilii and zygomaticus major facial muscles. Using valence and arousal (VA) dimensions, participants rated their felt emotion after listening to each of 12 classical music excerpts. After extracting features from the five channels, we examined their correlation with VA ratings, and then performed multiple linear regression to see if a linear relationship between the physiological responses could account for the ratings. Although linear models predicted a significant amount of variance in arousal ratings, they were unable to do so with valence ratings. We then used a neural network to provide a non-linear account of the ratings. The network was trained on the mean ratings of eight of the 12 excerpts and tested on the remainder. Performance of the neural network confirms that physiological responses alone can be used to predict musically induced emotion. The non-linear model derived from the neural network was more accurate than linear models derived from multiple linear regression, particularly along the valence dimension. A secondary analysis allowed us to quantify the relative contributions of inputs to the non-linear model. The study represents a novel approach to understanding the complex relationship between physiological responses and musically induced emotion.
Dynamic Range Across Music Genres and the Perception of Dynamic Compression in Hearing-Impaired Listeners
Authors: Kirchberger Martin , Russo Frank
Published: March 2024

Dynamic range compression serves different purposes in the music and hearing-aid industries. In the music industry, it is used to make music louder and more attractive to normal-hearing listeners. In the hearing-aid industry, it is used to map the variable dynamic range of acoustic signals to the reduced dynamic range of hearing-impaired listeners. Hence, hearing-aided listeners will typically receive a dual dose of compression when listening to recorded music. The present study involved an acoustic analysis of dynamic range across a cross section of recorded music as well as a perceptual study comparing the efficacy of different compression schemes. The acoustic analysis revealed that the dynamic range of samples from popular genres, such as rock or rap, was generally smaller than the dynamic range of samples from classical genres, such as opera and orchestra. By comparison, the dynamic range of speech, based on recordings of monologues in quiet, was larger than the dynamic range of all music genres tested. The perceptual study compared the effect of the prescription rule NAL-NL2 with a semicompressive and a linear scheme. Music subjected to linear processing had the highest ratings for dynamics and quality, followed by the semicompressive and the NAL-NL2 setting. These findings advise against NAL-NL2 as a prescription rule for recorded music and recommend linear settings.
Harmonic Frequency Lowering: Effects on the Perception of Music Detail and Sound Quality
Authors: Kirchberger Martin , Russo Frank
Published: March 2024

A novel algorithm for frequency lowering in music was developed and experimentally tested in hearing-impaired listeners. Harmonic frequency lowering (HFL) combines frequency transposition and frequency compression to preserve the harmonic content of music stimuli. Listeners were asked to make judgments regarding detail and sound quality in music stimuli. Stimuli were presented under different signal processing conditions: original, low-pass filtered, HFL, and nonlinear frequency compressed. Results showed that participants reported perceiving the most detail in the HFL condition. In addition, there was no difference in sound quality across conditions.
Gap Analysis of Services for Victims and Survivors of Online Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse in Canada
Authors: Martin Jennifer
Published: March 2024

This report presents the findings of a gap analysis of specialized services for victims and survivors of online child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA) in Canada. The analysis took place between March and July 2019 and was conducted to identify existing specialized support services for victims of CSEA, their families, and adult survivors of CSEA, as well as gaps in the availability of such services, any promising practices in Canada or elsewhere, and challenges to providing specialized supports for these victims and their families.

Very few support services and treatment practices are specifically related to online CSEA in Canada. Overall, the most promising practices currently offered in Canada are those that address child victims (children and youth up to the age of 18 years) of crime more generally, especially the services provided by the Child and Youth Advocacy Centre network that is expanding across the country, as well as those provided by the longstanding network of service providers that responds to victims of sexual assault. These networks have great potential to provide specialized supports for online CSEA victims and their families. However, they currently lack expertise in online CSEA, and need evidence-based guidance on how to best support these victims; methods demonstrated to be effective for sexual crime victims in general might not be effective or may even be harmful to victims of online crimes.

What is needed is investment in creating the evidence base – that is, data evaluating and verifying the appropriateness and effectiveness of specific support services and approaches to treatment for online CSEA – that would then inform best practices. These best practices could then be conveyed in training for service providers, and integrated into supervision and mentorship structures within organizations. Many of the individuals interviewed for this report are experts in the field of child sexual abuse. Other participants are well versed in providing referrals for clients needing specialized supports for child victims of sexual abuse. However, they did not believe that they had expertise specific to working with victims of online CSEA, and generally did not know of specialized services to which they could refer victims. The extensive and well-established networks of experts in the fields of sexual abuse and child sexual abuse should be mobilized to participate in, and contribute to, research in this area in order to develop evidence-based effective responses for victims of online CSEA.

In the aftermath of the school shootings in Newtown, Connecticut this past December, we experienced the world around us as less safe—understandably so. In response to such a tragic event, there is a degree of fear instilled in all of us that for many was at its peak in the New Year as we prepared to send our children back to school. The fear we experienced can be considered as both a cause and an effect. It is an effect in that it is an emotion brought about by a perceived threat; it is a cause in that reactions can be ascribed to it. School Boards across the United States and Canada reacted to the threat to school safety by investing in increased security strategies such as surveillance cameras, on-site police officers and security guards, enhanced lockdown procedures (all school entrances and classroom doors are locked at all times), and regular lockdown drills much like the fire drill practices with which we are all familiar. In Ontario, Canada for example, where I practiced for many years as a school-based child and youth care worker, the provincial government reacted by declaring that 10 million dollars would be immediately allocated to implement a “locked door” policy to enhance school security measures. All this is intended to protect our children from threat or harm and to create a safe environment in which children can play and learn.
Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm-based Feature Selection and Hybrid ML Framework for Efficient Rice Yield Prediction

India's economy predominantly depends on monsoon and agricultural output. Agribusiness products contribute to nearly a quarter of its gross domestic product and 58% of its population depends on agriculture for their livelihood. Certain crops, like rice, are vital to its food security being the most widely grown crop and accounting for one-third production of foodgrains in India. Understanding and enhancing its production is critical in ensuring food availability and promoting sustainable agricultural practices. Rice yield prediction has been a most researched area in the agriculture domain. Machine Learning (ML) frameworks have been found to perform well in patches with large, complex datasets as insufficient feature engineering and temporal dependencies plague efficacy. In this paper, we propose a swam-based meta-heuristic artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm for feature selection from the dataset sourced from the Agricultural Production and Statistical Division of the Department of Agriculture Cooperation and Farmers Welfare, Government of India. The feature engineering is further optimized by a hybrid model comprising a convolutional neural network (CNN) for learning hierarchical representations and identifying relevant attributes from the complex dataset and long short-term memory (LSTM) for temporal aspects. Finally, a random forest (RF) regressor provides the benefits of ensemble learning, which merges multiple decision trees to remove bias, and variance and improve prediction accuracy. From the results, it is observed that the proposed hybrid model outperforms existing state-of-the-art standalone and hybrid models with the highest coefficient of determination (R2) and lowest mean square error (MSE) of 0.989 and 13613 respectively. The reliable and efficient hybrid model can aid farmers and policymakers in making informed decisions related to rice yield prediction leading to sustainable agricultural practices.
La lucha por la escuela en la literatura indigenista peruana
Authors: Monte Alto Rômulo
Published: March 2024

La escuela ocupa un lugar relevante en la literatura latinoamericana, no solo como escenario de los eventos narrados sino también como motor de un proceso social que la toma como ámbito privilegiado de acceso al mundo de la letra, la cultura y el conocimiento. Dicho privilegio la volvió un espacio de intenso control social y encarnizada disputa política, fenómeno que la literatura a lo largo de su historia no dejó de registrar. En el caso de la literatura peruana en particular, desde las reflexiones que hace don Rosendo Maqui sobre la lucha para tener una escuela por parte de la comunidad de Rumi en El mundo es ancho y ajeno (Ciro Alegría, 1941), hasta la frustrada realización del deseo de la comunidad de Chungui con la llegada del falso profesor en Este camino existe (Fernando Cueto, 2011), estamos frente al conflictivo rol que juega la escuela en el imaginario de los varios grupos sociales que la buscan o la alcanzan. Buscamos en este texto examinar algunos de esos discursos que sobre la escuela se han construido en la literatura indigenista peruana y otros textos, a fin de entender el modo en que ha sido concebida como local de deseo y frustración, de índole individual o colectiva.
Pablo Montoya: “Entre nuestra violencia y la de García Márquez median la desmesura y la desaparición forzada”
Authors: Villamil Garcés Nahum José
Published: March 2024

El escritor colombiano Pablo Montoya (1963), premio Rómulo Gallegos (2015), José Donoso (2016) y Casa de las Américas (2017), acaba de publicar su más reciente novela La sombra de Orión, que ahonda en la violencia y el horror de la desaparición forzada, al revisitar los efectos, crímenes y desafueros de la Operación Orión, en Medellín. Montoya retoma a su alter ego Pedro Cadavid para clausurar una trilogía donde se cuestiona un proyecto nacional cimentado en la violencia y se confronta la tradición literaria antioqueña anclada al realismo e incapaz de arrojar luces sobre sus zonas más oscuras. Por supuesto, La sombra de Orión, como toda la obra de Pablo Montoya, teje constantes diálogos con distintas tradiciones y con su propia producción. Desde ese ángulo, el autor se refiere a su aclamada Tríptico de la infamia (2014) o a Los derrotados (2012) para trazar los costos humanos de la ficción e invocar sus encuentros o discrepancias con García Márquez, Roberto Bolaño y Rodrigo Rey Rosa, referentes a la hora de escribir La sombra de Orión.

Con la publicación de La sombra de Orión (2021), Pablo Montoya traza un nuevo ángulo en su espacio narrativo sobre la violencia política y los efectos devastadores en una sociedad hastiada de la circularidad de este flagelo. Desde las primeras publicaciones, el autor colombiano nos ha llevado por un recorrido de más de 1600 páginas: cinco novelas y diversos cuentos, en que las apuestas estéticas para representar los imaginarios contemporáneos en torno a la situación ominosa del poder se conforman de una sucesión de personajes particulares, desplazamientos de la Historia, una audaz mixtura de géneros, el tratamiento de lo íntimo doloroso, el lenguaje lírico fusionado a la prosa, la naturaleza como extensión de la sensibilidad, y toda una mirada renovada de la figura del escritor frente a su ejercicio intelectual y el compromiso con su época.

Los muertos anónimos y los desaparecidos dejados por la Operación militar Orión1 en la Comuna 13 de Medellín, Colombia, son el núcleo temático de los sucesos de la última novela de Montoya. Reconocemos de nuevo en el transcurso narrativo al personaje escritor Pedro Cadavid y sus inquietudes sobre la realidad que le estrecha. La escritura toma proporción en torno a este alter-ego-continuado de escritor.

Asimismo, Montoya vuelve a demostrar su lucidez poética en el abordaje de un contexto atroz y la habilidad del oficio para poner al servicio de la trama una serie de juegos literarios: la metaficción, la mise en abyme paradoxal y elementos de rasgo autoficcional. La sombra de Orión se compone de nueve partes interconectadas a través de sus personajes y la simultaneidad de tiempos y espacios, para presentar un panorama de la conformación de la Comuna 13, que va desde su origen histórico y social hasta la arremetida miliciana, guerrillera, militar y paramilitar; deteniéndose en los efectos de toda índole –políticos, sociales, culturales, emocionales– más recientes.
Number Marking in Nadëb
Authors: Epps Patience , Obert Karolin
Published: March 2024

One of the most robust sources of fresh insights into typological categories comes from our growing knowledge of the indigenous languages of South America, a region that until recently has been significantly under-represented in typological studies. This paper offers a case in point through the investigation of number in Nadëb, a member of the small Naduhup family of the northwest Amazon, which reveals several typologically intriguing features. One of these is Nadëb’s emphasis on marking number on the verb as opposed to the noun, even while any registering of event number appears to be secondary to that of participant number. Nadëb also relies heavily on suppletive or semi-suppletive stem pairs in encoding numberdistinctions in both nouns and verbs. Finally, Nadëb’s resources for expressing number are quite different from those seen in its three sister languages, in which number is primarily a feature of the noun phrase, suggesting a significant reorganization of number-marking within the language family. The Nadëb case underscores the considerable diversity evident in number-marking strategies typologically, and how this diversity may emerge even within a single language family of limited time-depth.
La intromisión del “yo escritor” en la narrativa colombiana y su obsesión por el pasado político
Authors: Vanegas Orfa Kelita
Published: March 2024

Este artículo indaga la intromisión del “yo escritor” que un conjunto de novelistas colombianos realiza en su propia obra con el propósito de revisar la memoria política colombiana. Las narrativas en cuestión coinciden en proponer un “alter-ego” de escritor, un novelista personaje que se autonarra en sus particularidades íntimas y familiares mientras a su vez va construyendo una especie de “alter-texto”, una historia paralela a la personal, de momentos políticos coyunturales de la historia del país: el Bogotazo, la guerra de guerrillas, el crecimiento del paramilitarismo, la Operación Orión, etc. La narración del autor ficcional anclada a una mirada afectiva se propone como novedosa posibilidad ante el colapso de la imaginación creadora de la novelística colombiana y su tema obligado: la violencia política. Unido a este tipo de lúdica literaria, la narrativa apuesta también a la incorporación metafórica de la fotografía privada y pública, para vitalizar el efecto de veracidad de lo narrado y comprometer, asimismo, la recordación de quien ha sucumbido en el surco atroz de la historia nacional.
