Una historia crítica de la idea de vida. El paradigma bio-teo-político de la autarquía
Read moreTitle Una historia crítica de la idea de vida. El paradigma bio-teo-político de la autarquía Author Martín Grassi Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9789878918242 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 232 Format Printed THEMA Philosophy Synopsis The present book embarks on a critical-conceptual history of the notion of life in the West. The different discourses around life (such as biology, ethics, politics, phenomenology and theology) characterize it by its capacity to be a cause and principle of itself. Hence, we can speak of a bio-political paradigm of autarky. This deconstructive analysis shows that if the characteristic of life and the living is its being referred to itself, then all contact and trade with the other is either accidental or anecdotal. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -

Señales distantes
Read moreTitle Señales distantes Author Vásquez, Antonio Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667963 Edition number 1 Publication year 2020 Pages 163 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis In “Prima materia,” a young acolyte suffers from a strange illness – or curse – due to which his body slowly takes on the texture of a rock. In “La jaula,” the gift that a suitor buys for a girl is rejected, which turns it into a symbol of failure. A Mexican tourist is taken by a young Japanese woman to her small coastal town, where they will take an unexpected role in an ancestral rite, in “El sueño de la esposa del pescador.” “Señales lejanos” tells the story of a mother who is looking for her missing daughter. In “Insomnio,” a man is kidnapped after a sleepless night; his memories let us know that his sleepless nights have a tragic origin. In “Déjà vu,” a woman and her writer husband find themselves trapped in a time loop. “Gestación” tells the story of a young couple who work in a pozolería to guarantee the material support of the child they are expecting; Here, the child and the raw material of his work end up coinciding in a terrifying way. “Gnossienne” has as its protagonist a musician made a prophet by a post-apocalyptic humanity that does not know noise. Finally, “Rebis” is an intense mystical journey full of hermetic allusions. Antonio Vásquez surprises us again with his narrative mastery, this time with a book of short stories whose stories are intertwined with each other, like the sounds of an orchestra that amalgamate until they become an extraordinary symphony. The characters in these stories seem to assure us that where the deepest human pains and obsessions exist, its most fervent desires, a door opens for the extraordinary to take place. The fantastic in Antonio Vásquez's stories is not presented as a handful of magical acts but as a way of seeing and feeling the world, as the mythical thread that connects our intimate daily deaths and resurrections with the mystery of creation: the cycle of the origin of life and its inevitable destruction. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -
