FROM PHILOSOPHY TO ACTION.
Clues to Reimagining the Social Role of Museums in the Americas
Museums have the capacity to reformulate social, cultural and environmental values and can provide options for solving social dilemmas. This publication captures the ideas and thoughts of the speakers of Reimagining the Museum’s second edition, a conference that brought together more than 600 museum professionals from all the Americas, from November 1 to 3, 2017, in the city of Medellín, Colombia. During those three days, we shared a common concern about social inequality and, above all, about how that inequality finds its way into museums through language and actions. We were surprised by the unexpected convergence of the ideas of the speakers, their agile thinking, determination to translate ideas into action, and willingness to face complex challenges as an integral part of the museum’s mission.

Prologue to the Spanish version: Américo Castilla
To establish the curve of audience, to get to know and understand the visitors and to satisfy the users, are three main issues that refer to the problems, knowledge and systems of actions that combined, determine the policy of contemporary museums concerning audiences. That policy expresses not only a scientific and cultural approach but it also responds to an economic and social logic.

Translations from Argentina, Report #3 (2010 - 2022)
Fundación TyPA presents the results of new research on the translation of Argentinean books into other languages.
Authors: Gabriela Adamo y Victoria Rodríguez Lacrouts
How does Argentinean literature travel? Which countries translate the most? Who are the most relevant mediating agents? This new report brings figures up to date and offers new insights into the world of translations.
Fifteen years after TyPA’s first report and a decade after the second, we are happy to present "Extraduction in Argentina III (2010 - 2022)", a research carried out by Gabriela Adamo and Victoria Rodríguez Lacrouts.
The purpose of the report is to provide concrete and reliable information, much needed as a basic input when it comes to the development of more and better strategies to promote the translation of local authors into other languages.
The research involved questionnaires to more than 600 publishers, agents and authors (both from Argentina and abroad) as well as the detailed study of databases like the one provided by Programa Sur (Argentina’s Foreign Office). The results are free and open to all researchers.
