The cruel Latin American reality is reflected in the literature of those who dare to portray social conflicts of their countries. Although all the works that have been written in the conditions of violence are important, it is equally important to make theoretical reflections and investigations of those works and their contribution of knowledge. In this way the thematic core of the 30th number of the journal is the relationship between literature and violence in Latin America.

For this occasion in the thematic core section we have the contributions of the authors Jorge Eduardo Vásquez Santamaría and Karen Lorena Romero Leal. The first is entitled: "Why go to literature to recreate the configuration of forgiveness in the Colombian internal armed conflict?" In this work the author offers us a human look on the subject of the peace agreement in Colombia. It is argued that peace is not a mere formal agreement between the actors of the conflict, but that it is the reconstruction of a fragmented and painful society from the interaction and the pardon of their participants. The proposal of the researcher Karen is entitled: "Representations of the Amazon in four kidnapping's testimonial-literature books in Colombia" This is a reconstruction of the two most common images that there are of that international location that is the Amazon. The first image is to see the Amazon as a paradise full of natural resources. The second image is to see the Amazon as a green hell in which it is dominated by the guerrillas and the labyrinths they have built.

Our perspective research section is composed of a wide variety of articles. The first two deal with the discrimination generated by the capitalist system to different social groups such as indigenous people. The first article is "Indigenous poverty in the discourse of the World Bank" by the professor of the Universidad Austral de Chile Rodrigo Agustín Navarrete Saavedra. In his article the author intends to characterize the particular place and status acquired by indigenous peoples in the World Bank's anti-poverty discourse. In the company of this contribution we have the research of the researcher Alexandra López Martínez entitled "Socio-spatial segregation under the new city model in Latin America. Characteristics, perspectives and implications ". In this article, the author pursues two objectives: the first is to characterize the contemporary socio-spatial segregation pattern from the perspective of scale as a degree and as a value, and, second, to advance on the transformations that social agents and actors have produced of the territorialization of their actions in the construction of the urban space.

The following two articles have in common that both approach in a philosophical way to their respective subjects. The first of them deals philosophically with the work of the poet Raul Goméz Jattin. The title of this work is "Descent, transgression and creation: the eroticism in the poetry of Raúl Gómez Jattin" and its author is Yesid Niño Arteaga. This article proposes an approach to the poetic work of the Colombian Raúl Gómez Jattin through the criticism of the poems "Veneno de Serpiente Cascabel" and "El Elogio de los alucinógenos". The second article has an emotional character. The author Miguel Ángel Pérez and the author Camila Suárez propose a solution to the problem of the mind-world relationship in their article "The emotive emergence of objective thought".

Finally we have two articles that deal with two social experiences. The first one is focused on the use of sound artifacts from the San Martín gangs in the Colombian llanos. The work is by the authors Diana Marcela Herrera Muete and Pilar Jovanna Holguín Tovar and is entitled "Tales of a tradition: Memories about the sound artifacts of the cuadrillas de San Martín (a transdisciplinary investigation)". Through photographs and conceptual analysis they give us an image of the experience of using the aforementioned artifacts. The last article in this issue is about the experience of some Colombian and Mexican students in an international academic mobility. The manuscript "The international academic mobility: students experiences from villavicencio, Colombia and coateacoalcos, Mexico " collects the results of the empirical experiment that involved 16 students. This work was prepared by researchers María Cristina Otero Gómez, Wilson Giraldo Pérez and José Luis Sánchez Leyva.
