“No es cierto que el amor todo lo puede. No es cierto que el que ama no puede engañar. No es cierto que a la relación amorosa no haya que ponerle condiciones. No es cierto que el amor y el deseo vayan siempre de la mano. Pero decir que todo esto no es cierto no implica que sea imposible”, escribe Gabriel Rolón en el epílogo de su nuevo libro. Y es que, en contra de lo esperable —y esperado— de un libro sobre el amor, Encuentros se mete de lleno en los pliegues de un tema tan viejo como la humanidad: los celos y el deseo, la infidelidad, la pareja y la sexualidad, las relaciones entre padres e hijos, el enamoramiento y la ilusión vana de lo “eterno”. Así, este “lado B del ...
In Genres of Listening Xochitl Marsilli-Vargas explores a unique culture of listening and communicating in Buenos Aires. She traces how psychoanalytic listening circulates beyond the clinical setting to become a central element of social interaction and cultural production in the city that has the highest number of practicing psychologists and psychoanalysts in the world. Marsilli-Vargas develops the concept of genres of listening to demonstrate that hearers listen differently, depending on where, how, and to whom they are listening. In particular, she focuses on psychoanalytic listening as a specific genre. Porteños (citizens of Buenos Aires) have developed a “psychoanalytic ear” that emerges during conversational encounters in everyday interactions in which participants offer different interpretations of the hidden meaning the words carry. Marsilli-Vargas does not analyze these interpretations as impositions or interruptions but as productive exchanges. By outlining how psychoanalytic listening operates as a genre, Marsilli-Vargas opens up ways to imagine other modes of listening and forms of social interaction.
An engaging and insightful guide to Argentine crime fiction since 2000. Argentina Noir offers a guide to Argentine crime fiction, with a focus on works published since the year 2000. It argues that the novela negra, or crime novel, has become the favored genre for many writers to address the social malaise brought about by changes linked to globalization and market-driven economic policies. Cynthia Schmidt-Cruz presents close readings and original interpretations of eleven novels, all set in or around Buenos Aires, and explores the ways these texts adapt major motifs, figures, and literary techniques in Hispanic crime fiction in order to give voice to wide-ranging social critiques. Schmidt-C...
El reconocido psicoanalista y psicoterapeuta argentino, Gabriel Rolón, nos propone un nuevo ensayo en el que se cuestiona los discursos contemporáneos sobre la felicidad. La vida es difícil y tendemos a idealizar el amor, la amistad, la vida misma. No idealicemos también la felicidad: aunque seamos felices, nunca será sin un poco de tristeza, sin un sentimiento de ausencia, sin un poco de dolor, sin algo de soledad. Si alguna felicidad es posible, tenemos que aceptar que será una felicidad imperfecta. A lo largo de la historia, nos encontramos que la definición de felicidad tiene sentidos diferentes: la palabra misma parece ser un cuenco lleno de teorías que pretenden ser certeras, p...

Reorganizando algumas respostas fornecidas ao longo do tempo, embora sem a pretensão de originalidade, o livro traz uma tentativa de teorização do amor – matéria obscura, enigmática, confusa e fonte de todo tipo de inspiração. Para atingir esse objetivo, são abordadas questões histórico-conceituais, buscando referências na Grécia Antiga, na obra O Banquete, de Platão, na mitologia e também em algumas histórias notáveis do mundo das artes, como Tristão e Isolda, Grande Sertão: Veredas, Anna Kariênina e “Don Giovanni”. A partir desse enfoque, vislumbra-se a capacidade do amor de se reinventar e, mesmo assim, de se deixar reconhecer por seus traços essenciais: seu caráter unificador e transitório, a alienação e a corrosão da realidade, a perene insatisfação, a tendência à turbulência e a necessária alteridade. Por fim, a única certeza obtida ao fim da leitura se resume em o amor ser inexoravelmente incognoscível, resistindo a qualquer racionalidade. Minha Editora, um selo da Editora Manole
