FictionEstepicursor (Steppicursor)
by Marcelo Vera
After the collapse of her life as a couple and the breakdown of her expectations and projects, she desperately needs a place, something or someone to hold onto so as not to remain like a rolling plant at the mercy of the wind. With a simple, profound prose and full of references to popular culture, the Argentine author Marcelo Vera continues to deepen the narrative of the loss. After the publication of his first novel, Solo, and the poem El glitter de los solitarios, he experiments with the loneliness of a separation, the failure of motherhood and the fragility of illusion.

August 2005Konstellationsforschung
by Martin Mulsow, Marcelo Stamm
»Konstellationsforschung« ist der Name einer Forschungsmethode zur Untersuchung von Theorieentwicklungen und kreativen Impulsen, die aus dem Zusammenwirken von verschiedenen Denkern in einem gemeinsamen »Denkraum« entstehen. Von Dieter Henrich im Zuge seiner Untersuchungen zum frühen Deutschen Idealismus in Jena und Tübingen entwickelt, hat dieser Forschungstyp anhand von Briefdokumenten, Rezensionen, Werkfragmenten und erschlossenen Gesprächslagen philosophische Entwicklungen in einer Detailliertheit rekonstruiert, die ihresgleichen sucht. An den Nahtstellen zwischen den großen Gestalten und Systemen sucht die Konstellationsforschung auf detektivische Weise nach »missing links« – verborgenen Weichenstellungen und wechselseitigen Einflüssen. Die Aufsätze in vorliegendem Band arbeiten das Profil dieser Methode heraus, grenzen sie gegen andere geistesgeschichtliche Methoden wie die Diskursanalyse oder die Hermeneutik ab und unterziehen die Implikationen und Perspektiven der Verfahrensweise einer kritischen Beurteilung.

FictionJune 2020Drawings of Hiroshima
by Marcelo Simonetti
“The sky was covered with grey clouds. The drizzle was lighter than normal, almost pious. The Japanese were advancing through the streets with short, fast steps. Satoru was ahead of them. He pedaled at a good pace. From his bicycle seat, the city revealed itself to his eyes as a sequence of frames. It was strange to be there, in his grandfather's city, and to ride through it as he had probably never done before: on two wheels. Even so, the possibility that the route he was taking would intersect with the routes that his grandfather had taken when he was a child, provoked an intimate emotion in him. Those landscapes were over eighty years old, including an atomic bomb, but it was the land where Ryu Nakata had learned to walk, to speak, to read”. The death of his grandfather, awakens in the young Yasuhiro Nakata the desire to know the family history, especially after finding a letter in which he discovers another side of the old man whose last words were: 'Hiroshima, Hiroshima', warning of the existence of a secret. As a result, Yasuhiro embarks on a journey that will take him from Valparaiso to Hiroshima, where his grandfather emigrated ten years before the atomic disaster. This is the beginning of Drawings of Hiroshima— a charming story that allows readers to follow the protagonist on a journey in which he not only reconnects with his Japanese origins, but also questions his present, his interpersonal relationships and his interest in writing, deepening the unconscious desire to understand the role that he plays in a story that is not his own but yet challenges him directly. With this new release, Marcelo Simonetti addresses issues such as migration and identity, connecting the historic Chilean port of Valparaiso with the memory of the tragedy occured in the Japanese city.

Children's & YAThe Secret of Cats
by Marcelo Simonetti
The poet was looking for a place to leave his words, A place where the wind won’t carry them away, A place where monsters won’t eat them. If the cats are lovers of the moon, the night and roofs, they would know how to appreciate a verse, the poet thought. And almost whispering he told them: “This is how happiness was like: brief as the dream of a felt acacia, or the dance of the crazy single woman in front of a broken mirror”. This book talks about the importance that poetry has in our lives and, at the same time, it is also a tribute to these small furry creatures with whiskers that love purring as if they were true poets.
