Cariños y recuerdos de una pandemia reúne los escritos de 15 integrantes del Programa Universitario de Estudios sobre Asia y África (PUEAA), quienes recurren al género epistolario a fin de plasmar sus vivencias durante la pandemia por Covid-19.
Como escribe Alicia Girón, los integrantes del PUEAA "soñábamos con realizar actividades en diferentes lugares, como Corea, China, Japón, India, Marruecos, Senegal, Sudáfrica y España [...] pero todo cambió el 16 de marzo, cuando se decretó el cierre de todas las actividades". Así, las cartas contenidas en este libro están dirigidas en su mayoría a seres queridos o admirados que viven fuera de México. De este modo, los autores nos permiten vislumbrar no sólo su propio mundo privado e intereses de estudio sino también el de sus interlocutores, dándonos por ende una muestra de su sensibilidad ante un evento que ha afectado a todo el mundo. En efecto, la variedad de termas expuestos en las cartas van desde la nostalgia del encuentro físico, hasta la angustia debido al número de muertos y contagiados, pasando por los avatares de la vida cotidiana.
Acompañado de las ilustraciones de Yussef A. Galicia, Cariños y recuerdos de una pandemia revela con delicadeza el "compromiso de cada autor [...] tuvo para transmitir sus vivencias durante la pandemia de Covid-19 en el 2020".
The Korean peninsula is one of the regions that are currently under constant observation in the complex international mosaic. Characterized by its peculiar economic and political dynamics, today it has an emerging cultural representation that has managed to transcend the world.
For this reason, this book deals with topics that contribute to the understanding of the problems that define part of the current peninsular reality. It analyzes economic and political issues, which are undoubtedly essential for approaching the study of the Korean peninsula. However, the book reflects on the importance of the study of both Koreas from a social and cultural perspective, providing the reader with a human and deep analysis of the Korean societies, allowing them to learn about and reflect on phenomena and problems of the peninsular daily life.
In this way, under a multidisciplinary approach, the importance of each of the Republics in the current world context is shown, a perspective that also combines fundamental issues on culture and society such as religion, language and cultural consumption.

En economías monetarias de la producción, el dinero crédito es el medio para las transacciones de intercambio entre los agentes económicos. El dólar, moneda hegemónica, ha jugado un papel importante en el desarrollo económico, político y social durante las últimas siete décadas de constantes crisis económicas y financieras. Sin embargo, el dólar se está desdibujando en los mercados emergentes. Las tensiones financieras están surgiendo a raíz del alza de las tasas de interés por la injerencia de los bancos centrales y por el creciente endeudamiento de los países soberanos. Lo anterior, sumado a la crisis del cambio climático, así como al avance de la economía digital y a una frágil recuperación del empleo, vuelven necesario el análisis y el estudio del comportamiento del crédito. El libro Crédito, dinero y mercados emergentes. Crisis y retos en el nuevo orden monetario internacional aborda los cambios ocurridos a nivel mundial cuyo resultado fue la conformación de un mundo multipolar con implicaciones en los circuitos financieros.
