This book presents the influence exerted by the media on children and adolescents in relation to the early experimentation with psychoactive substances. And the pedagogical-theological intervention as a preventive strategy. The influence on the human being through media mechanisms that condition him to the action expected by the conditioning, has been studied for a long time, by several authors such as Aldous Huxley with his book "Admirável Mundo Novo" that already addressed the conditionality of the human since the decade of 30. In the following decades, other theorists such as Edgar Morin and Guy Debord, analyzed how the human being is conditioned through mass culture and the society of the spectacle. The reality presented in relation to the conditioning of children and adolescents through the media has propelled the author, to seek preventive ways regarding the conditionality of human beings through the media. For that, it analyzed theorists like Paulo Freire and Michel Henry and their discoveries about the mediation of knowledge and the analysis of the Words of Christ and how they can contribute in the elaboration of pedagogical-theological interventions.

Julian Huxley, founder and the first Director-General of UNESCO, is at the heart of contemporary debates on the nature and objectives of the concept of transhumanism, which he first used in the early 1950s. Therefore, the analysis of his idea of transhumanism - a tool to improve the quality of life and the condition of man - should lead us to question his heritage in terms of philosophy that inspires UNESCO’s action as it seeks to build a comprehensive approach to artificial intelligence that takes into account, among other things, the values and principles of universal ethics and aims to derive the best from the use of this technology. This title where the British biologist, the elder brother of the famous science fiction writer, Aldous Huxley, author of the Brave New World, coexists with the United Nations Organization in charge of Education of Science and Culture is obvious for those who know the history of this international organization or who like radio games: Julian Huxley was appointed as the first Director-General of UNESCO in 1946. But, beyond this evidence, there is a deeper link that highlights the history of the renewal of the idea of transhumanism (I) and questions about the role that UNESCO has, among the other international organizations (II).

 El artículo analiza la película Rodrigo D. No Futuro, del director colombiano Víctor Gaviria (Medellín, 1990), usando algunos conceptos encontrados en el Mil Mesetas, por un lado, y en Imagen-tiempo e Imagen-movimiento, por el otro. En la primera parte, el propósito es hacer uso, en especial, de los conceptos de territorio, adentro/afuera, germen y medio, para adentrarse en las imágenes presentadas por la película. En la segunda parte, se propone ir más allá de los conceptos precedentes, para generar un nuevo concepto: contrapunto temporal, tomado de la literatura (Aldous Huxley) y enriquecido con el de imagen-cristal (Deleuze), el cual se refiere, en términos generales, a un tipo de montaje que permite mostrar la forma como diversas historias paralelas se entretejen en torno a algo que es común a todos los personajes del film, en este caso, las fuerzas que son propias del territorio habitado y que cada personaje sujeto a/agente de ellas expresa en términos de No futuro, esto es, como potencia que deviene contrafuerza expresiva.
