Mental Files
François Recanati presents his theory of mental files, a new way of understanding reference in language and thought. Linguistic expressions inherit their reference from the files that we associate with them, which are classified according to their function, which is to store information derived through certain types of relation to objects.

Spanishness in the Spanish Novel and Cinema of the 20th – 21st Century
Spanishness in the Spanish Novel and Cinema of the 20th-21st Century is an exploration of the general concept of “Spanishness” as all things related to Spain, specifically as the multiple meanings of “Spanishness” and the different ways of being Spanish are depicted in 20th-21st century literary and cinematic fiction of Spain. This book also represents a call for a re-evaluation of what being Spanish means not just in post-Franco Spain but also in the Spain of the new millennium. The reader will find treatments of some of the crucial themes in Spanish culture such as immigration, nationalisms, and affiliation with the European Union as well as many others of contemporary relevance such as time, memory, and women studies that defy exclusivist and clear-cut single notions of Spanishness. These explorations will help contextualize what it means to be Spanish in present day Spain and in the light of globalization while also dissipating stereotypical notions of Spain and Spanishness.
Rock Aesthetics in Colombian Literature and Culture
Rock Aesthetics in Colombian Literature and Culture: Writing the Noise explores the presence of a rock aesthetic in the Colombian literary field and how its pivotal role in creating alternative creative expressions that challenge the dominance of tropicality as the prevailing artistic reference. More than a musical genre or a cultural industry, rock is also an aesthetic: a significant social practice that allows one to understand what people consider beautiful or authentic. Since its birth in the mid-1950s, rock as an aesthetic has expanded worldwide, transforming and establishing dialogues with artistic practices such as literature. Through an analysis of a series of novels, poems, and manifestos written from the 1950s to the early years of the twenty-first century, David Martínez Houghton embarks on a literary, musical, and historical journey. On the way, he explores complex phenomena such as urban violence, the formation of youth identities, the penetration of pop culture, national identity discourses, and even the social and physical transformation of Colombian cities.

Aprender y pensar
Este libro aborda una de las invitaciones políticas serias de Heidegger: pensar nuestro presente. Para avanzar en la comprensión de dicha invitación, este trabajo se centra en las lecciones que dictó Heidegger en 1951 y 1952 en Friburgo, donde examina la pregunta ¿qué significa pensar? Heidegger nos indica que pensar es distinto del conocer y, por tanto, pensar no es el despliegue de la ciencia, el pensar no es el despliegue del pensamiento que atraviesa a Occidente. Así, intentamos una proximidad entre lo que significa pensar y el aprender, aspectos centrales de la problematización educativa, para avanzar en el esclarecimiento de una educación como experiencia en el pensar. Esta empresa de aprender a habitar poéticamente, tendrá que salirle al encuentro a esta educación impoética del furioso medir y calcular, que es una educación institucionalizada y globalmente estandarizada por la calidad de la medida.
