Diversidad familiar. Una perspectiva antropológica
La familia es una institución universal que existe y ha existido en todas las sociedades conocidas, y cumple una función primordial en la reproducción social. Históricamente han coexistido diversos tipos de organización familiar, aunque en Occidente, la familia nuclear heterocentrada se ha erigido como la más funcional para los sistemas de producción económica, hasta el punto de ser considerada «natural». En la actualidad, los cambios sociales, culturales, económicos, políticos, tecnológicos, así como las demandas de la ciudadanía, han hecho tambalear las bases sobre las que se asienta la naturalidad de la familia nuclear heterosexual, cuestionando las formas alternativas de convivencia y los ordenamientos jurídicos nacionales e internacionales.
Las (ir)racionalidades de la maternidad en España
El contexto reproductivo español ha sido descrito como de "infertilidad estructural" (Marre, 2009), a causa del descenso de la fecundidad desde mediados de los años 70, debido principalmente a las condiciones del mercado laboral (Marre, 2009), los discursos feministas que vinculaban la libertad de las mujeres con la no-maternidad (Marre, 2012 a Briggs et al., 2012) y a la falta de políticas públicas de apoyo a la maternidad (Comas d'Argemir et al., 2016).

Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

To the Warm Horizon
A group of Koreans are making their way across a disease-ravaged landscape—but to what end? To the Warm Horizon shows how in a post-apocalyptic world, humans will still seek purpose, kinship, and even intimacy. Focusing on two young women, Jina and Dori, who find love against all odds, Choi Jin-young creates a dystopia where people are trying to find direction after having their worlds turned upside down. Lucidly translated from the Korean by Soje, this thoughtful yet gripping novel takes the reader on a journey through how people adjust, or fail to adjust, to catastrophe.
