Borges, a Life
Short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986) revolutionized the literature of Latin America almost single-handedly and left a legion of readers and admirers worldwide.Based on an unprecedented range of interviews and on research into previously unknown or unavailable resources, this is the first biography in any language to encompass the entire span of Borges’s life and work. In Borges, Edwin Williamson brings to life the little known human side of the writer: his ancestral roots in Argentina, his relations with family and friends, his passions and despairs, and the evolution of his political ideas. By correlating this new biographical information with Borges’s literary texts, Williamson also reconstructs the dynamics of his inner world—the conflicts, desires, and obsessions that drove the man and shaped his work. This major new study finally unlocks the mysteries that have obscured the life of Borges. The result is a compelling and often poignant portrait that will radically transform our views of this modern master.

Borges, Desire, and Sex
Until now Jorge Luis Borges has been considered an asexual author who could not read or write about sex, but in this study historian Ariel de la Fuente reveals for the first time the relationship between Borges’s sexual biography, his erotic readings, and the expression of desire and sex in his literature.
La pensée critique expliquée par des didacticiennes et des didacticiens de l’enseignement supérieur – 2e édition
Le développement de la pensée critique des étudiantes et des étudiants est aujourd’hui une nécessité pour les universités et les instituts de formation supérieure du XXIe siècle. Ce XXIe siècle, en effet, est caractérisé par la surabondance des informations, la rapidité des changements, la complexification de la vie en société et la mouvance des savoirs et des connaissances. Les enseignantes et enseignants des universités et des instituts de formation supérieure, dans ce contexte, mettent en place un ensemble de dispositifs et de stratégies pour développer la pensée critique des étudiantes et des étudiants. Toutefois, l’état de la recherche en pédagogie supérieure révèle que peu d’étudiantes et d’étudiants pensent de façon critique à la fin de leur formation universitaire. Cet ouvrage collectif présente un ensemble d’études (empiriques et théoriques) innovantes relatives à la pensée critique et à son développement dans le contexte de la formation universitaire et professionnelle.
The Book of Memory Gaps
Simon remembers every act of sin ever confessed to him. Pavel forgets what he has just played and rehearses the same melody over and over. Unable to recall faces, Veronika uses different perfumes to remember the ones she loves. The Book of Memory Gaps is a collection of darkly humorous mini-stories that examine our curious and capricious unconscious. With concise, lyrical prose and a discerning command of color, Cecilia Ruiz captures the delicate and fleeting nature of memory, as well as its immense power–after all, who would we be without it?

Le travail enseignant à travers le prisme de l’expérience : connaissance, apprentissage, identité
Cet ouvrage réunit des chercheurs et des chercheuses de différentes universités du Québec. Il est l’occasion de faire le point sur la notion d’expérience polysémique abondamment utilisée dans les recherches en enseignement et dans les programmes de formation des enseignants. Il contribue à clarifier cette notion en recherche et à situer ses enjeux particuliers pour la formation initiale des enseignants, l’insertion professionnelle et la formation continue, à l’égard de ses différentes composantes (pédagogiques, pratiques, etc.). Il offre l’occasion d’explorer comment les expériences des uns et des autres (enseignants, superviseurs, étudiants, immigrants, etc.) se conjuguent dans le travail enseignant et la formation en enseignement, et comment elles sont prises en compte et en vue de quels apprentissages.
Savoirs en (trans)formation
Les professions de l’enseignement et de la formation ont pour dénominateur commun de former autrui. Quels que soient les publics auxquels elles s’adressent (enfants, étudiants, apprentis, adultes), elles ont d’abord pour fonction de transmettre et favoriser l’apprentissage de nouveaux savoirs. Elles se dotent pour cela de savoirs professionnels qui constituent autant d’outils pour accomplir leur mandat. Construits à même le terrain, la formation professionnelle ou la recherche scientifique, ces savoirs revêtent de multiples composantes, lesquelles ne cessent de se transformer, se diversifiant tout en se formalisant : savoirs d’action, expérientiels, didactiques, disciplinai...
Postnational Perspectives on Contemporary Hispanic Literature
"Offers an array of disciplinary views on how theories of globalization and an emerging postnational critical imagination have impacted traditional ways of thinking about literature."--Samuel Amago, author of Spanish Cinema in the Global Context: Film on Film Moving beyond the traditional study of Hispanic literature on a nation-by-nation basis, this volume explores how globalization is currently affecting Spanish and Latin American fiction, poetry, and literary theory. Taking a postnational approach, contributors examine works by José Martí, Carlos Ruiz Zafón, Junot Díaz, Mario Vargas Llosa, Cecilia Vicuña, Jorge Luis Borges, and other writers. They discuss how expanding worldviews hav...
