Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. Andrea Chapela, one of Granta's Best Young Spanish-Language Novelists of 2021, breaks down literary and scientific conventions in this prize-winning collection of experimental essays exploring the properties and poetics of glass, mirrors, and light as a means of understanding the self. In powerful, formally inventive essays, The Visible Unseen disrupts the purported cultural divide between arts and science. As both a chemist and an award-winning author, Chapela zeros in on the literary metaphors buried in the facts and figures of her scientific observations. Through questioning scientific conundrums that lie beyond the limits of human perception, she winds up putting herself under the microscope as well.While considering the technical definition of glass as a liquid or a solid, Chapela stumbles upon a framework for understanding the in-between-ness of her own life. Turning her focus toward mirrors, she finds metaphors for our cultural obsessions with self-image in the physics and chemistry of reflection. And as she compiles a history of the scientific study of light, she comes to her final conclusion: that the purpose of description-be it scientific or literary-can never be to define reality, only to confirm our perception of it. Lyrical, introspective, and methodical, The Visible Unseen constructs a startling new perspective from which to examine ourselves and the ways we create meaning.

Aggiungi al carrelloCondizione: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Esta antología conmemora la forma en que, a lo largo de sus primeros veinte años de vida, Editorial Almadía ha establecido un vínculo con autores y lectores. Invitamos a algunas de las escritoras más representativas del sello a reflexionar sobre esos momentos que recuerdan que el tiempo ha pasado, que nosotros y las personas que nos rodean ya no somos las mismas, y que vale la pena bailar, brindar, llorar, festejar (o todas a la vez) por eso mismo. Este libro celebra la diversidad de aproximaciones hacia el avance de la vida, a la manera en que usamos el lenguaje para reflexionar el paso de la niñez a la juventud y de la juventud a la adultez: es el resultado de un proceso, como tantos otros, que ha sido posible en compañía. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Las historias giran en torno a los cambios que las relaciones humanas sufrirán a raíz de los avances tecnológicos. Casi todos los cuentos están ubicados en la Ciudad de México, o una versión de ella proyectada hacia distintos futuros, algunos apocalípticos y algunos ultratecnologizados, aunque una de las historias sucede en el espacio. Las protagonistas son mujeres que se encuentran en una disyuntiva en sus relaciones personales a partir de un dispositivo de tecnología mental o de asimilación de la realidad que, a pesar de que debería facilitar la vida, amenaza con volver más asfixiantes, impredecibles o peligrosas las interacciones humanas. La mente y sus secretos, la percepción y la duda de si percibimos sólo lo que deseamos, los límites de la intimidad; estos son algunos de los temas que trata el libro. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
