"[...] la lógica del aymara es trivalente, no nada más que bivalente como la del español. Es decir, la sintáxis del idioma indígena revela una lógica "no Aristotélica" porque no tiene solamente los dos valores de la lógica tradicional occidental: verdadero, falso. Tiene tres: verdadero, fals

o, incierto. En observancia del principio de "tercero excluido", la lógica del español sólo permite hacer inferencias a partir de premisas necesariamente verdaderas o falsas. En la lógica no dicotómica, que es la del aymara, los enunciados se construyen con sufijos, en vez de palabras de conexión, y se torna posible derivar conclusiones a partir de premisas dudosas o apenas plausibles. O sea, algo puede - creámoslo o no los no aymaras - ser "quizás cierto y quizás no cierto". La ambigüedad tiene valor; la incertidumbre importa. No se trata, pues, simplemente del conflicto común entre dos vocabularios diferentes pero equiparables. Son dos maneras de pensar marcadamente opuestas que trasuntan universos culturales muy alejados entre sí. De ahí que el riesgo de incomunicación no es en este caso un problema de mera divergencia semántica puesto que, por ejemplo, "para el hombre que piensa en aymara su premisa es que el pasado está adelante y el futuro atrás". En el presente informe de la investigación que el CIID auspició, Guzmán deseoso de alcanzar con sus resultados no solamente a otros especialistas como él ofrece más de una explicación de aquella diferencia. Para los versados en lingüística e idóneos en aymara, densos capítulos de argumentación lógica y demostración matemática. Para los legos, sencillos ejemplos iluminantes y hasta un gracioso pero efectivo recurso didáctico: un diálogo imaginario entre Aristóteles y una "india" aymara. Pero ¿qué implicaciones tiene la distinción hallada por el investigador boliviano?

"Gallagher has brought together research results culled from hundreds of worldwide reports (many of them in mimeographed forms), articles, fugitive materials, and a lesser number of books (which are much scarcer), to address certain basic questions about the relationship between women and the media.

The questions: What are the issues? What do we know already? What has been done so far? What remains to be done? She has then related her findings to the needs and possibilities of action. One of the most valuable features of the book is the bibliography of her materials. Appendixes list international feminist publications; directories and guidebooks; seminar proceedings and reports; groups and organizations; formats for media analysis; and the list of references previously mentioned."
