Saber y saber enseñar no siempre son cualidades concomitantes. Por eso los atributos para ser profesor se perfeccionan en la relación con el saber, la experiencia de enseñar y la reflexión sobre su propia práctica. No obstante, muchas veces los eslóganes y consignas de las pedagogías de moda pasan por alto los elementos constitutivos de la enseñanza, puesto que se centran en aprendizajes que deben estar al gusto y acomodo del estudiante. Es decir, invisibilizan el hecho de que la formación del sujeto implica a menudo incomodidad y esfuerzo: alcanzar el conocimiento es trastocar esquemas que hacen ver la realidad como consabida. Ser profesor es mucho más que ser un facilitador o un acompañante. Más allá del uso de una tecnología o de una actividad lúdica, las condiciones para que el otro se forme deben pasar por una interpelación que lo disponga a convertirse en estudiante: saber que no sabe y querer saber. Justamente, enseñanza universitaria. Formación, evaluación y reflexión didáctica brinda claves para entender que la enseñanza universitaria no es una práctica centrada en el aprendizaje, sino que es una práctica de formación.

Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.

"[An] incredibly moving collection of oral histories . . . important enough to be added to the history curriculum" Telegraph "A moving evocation of the 'everyday terror' systematically perpetrated over 41 years of Albanian communism . . . An illuminating if harrowing insight into life in a totalitarian state." Clarissa de Waal, author of ALBANIA: PORTRAIT OF A COUNTRY IN TRANSITION "Albania, enigmatic, mysterious Albania, was always the untold story of the Cold War, the 1989 revolutions and the fall of the Berlin Wall.

A previously untranslated classic of Portuguese feminist literature originally published in 1978, Carvalho's Empty Wardrobes introduces English-speaking readers to a forgotten and underappreciated woman writer a la recent publishing sensations Lucia Berlin, Natalia Ginzburg, Ingeborg Bachmann, Silvina Ocampo, and Armonia Somers. Empty Wardrobes is a tightly plotted, highly entertaining read, that, thanks to an ingenious detached narrative technique (one that makes the plot all the more fun to revisit and rethink), is both darkly humorous and devastatingly true.
