El retrato literario. Tempestades y naufragios. Escritura y reelaboración
Estudio del tema del retrato con un enfoque comparativista: los trabajos presentados estudian la formación de los personajes literarios universales, la influencia de la retórica demostrativa, la relación con géneros como la biografía y la autobiografía, la influencia recíproca de la literatura y otras artes (pintura, escultura, cine ). Estudio del tema de la tempestad como crisis para los viajeros; el naufragio es el momento de máxima tensión, en el que la naturaleza vuelca todo el mundo real y simbólico del viaje. Los estudios comparativos presentados en el XII Simposio de la SELGYC han abierto nuevas perspectivas en el estudio de la tradición literaria y ha aclarado muchos de sus significados. Por último, estudio de las reelaboraciones literarias: desde el primer texto hasta la última versión, son muchos los Autores que reescriben sus obras.

The Digital Pandemic
A refreshing approach to the dominance of technology in our contemporary lives, The Digital Pandemic, translated from Portuguese, poses fundamental questions about love, fear, connectedness, proximity, imagination and consciousness. Arguing that the pandemic has ushered in a civilizational digital shock, João Pedro Cachopo charts new channels of relatedness and communication between people through digital technologies for the foreseeable future. The transformation of human experience that began in 2020 creates a break in our sociality that Cachopo pinpoints through key themes of love, travel, study, community and art. In contrast to the growing philosophical literature on the pandemic, this bold theoretical work does not prophesy the fall of capitalism or the end of personal freedom and relationships. Instead, this book carefully investigates the advanced technology that is increasingly inextricable from our lives, using an alternative approach that avoids pessimism, while remaining alert to the risks and threats of the digital age. It opens up the possibility of fostering global solidarity and consciousness beyond physical borders in the 21st century.
Weathering the Storm
When the storm hits, sometimes the only thing you can do is hang on. Maia Reynolds is a successful travel writer for one major reason—her entire life is focused on work. Only one man has ever managed to get past her barriers and he's the reason why she's closed herself off from everyone else—and she's just thrown champagne in his face. Heir to the Girard Group, Alexandre is used to women throwing themselves, not their drinks, at him. He's intrigued by the beautiful and maddening Maia, but the tale she tells him about their supposed past can't be true. Can it? The head trauma he suffered years before has left a blank space in his memory that Maia seems to fill, but he knows she's hiding something. Until they clear up the past, they won't be able to build the future that's beginning to form in his mind. But will she ever trust him enough to truly open up again?
