The cave by José Saramago has as a certain reference the image of the cave of book VII of Plato's Republic and, however, Saramago is not an idealistic or metaphysical writer. This article, taking advantage of the applicability with which Plato endowed his image, defends the urge to be open to the messages sent by the earth, by matter, the urge not to become prisoners in the golden caves of the Western society and, finally, the urge to find our freedom in Nature, phýsis, and not far or beyond, metá, it.

Socrates' serene attitude before his death -although this is questioned-, as described by Xenophon in his Apologia Socratis becomes for the playwright Rodolf Sirera a useful reference in an effort to reflect boldly on the limits of theatrical fiction in another clear example of the Classical Tradition, including that derived from Baroque Tragedy. However, in this case, it is judged severely to make us more conscious of the risk of turning life into a mere theatrical performance and human beings into actors and actresses in a play they did not write.

La caverna de José Saramago tiene como referencia indudable la imagen de la caverna del libro VII de la República de Platón, y, sin embargo, Saramago no és un escritor idealista o metafísico. Este artículo muestra cómo, aprovechando la aplicabilidad con que Platón dotó a su imagen, Saramago defiende la necesidad de saber recibir los mensajes de la tierra, de la materia, de no convertirnos en prisioneros en las cavernas doradas de la sociedad occidental, y de ser libres en la naturaleza, phýsis, y no lejos o más allá, metá, de ella.

Nanotechnology has been heralded as a "revolution" in science, for two reasons: first, because of its revolutionary view of the way in which chemicals and elements, such as gold and silver, behave, compared to traditional scientific understanding of their properties. Second, the impact of these new discoveries, as applied to commerce, can transform the daily life of consumer products ranging from sun tan lotions and cosmetics, food packaging and paints and coatings for cars, housing and fabrics, medicine and thousands of industrial processes.9 Beneficial consumer use of nanotechnologies, already in the stream of commerce, improves coatings on inks and paints in everything from food packaging to cars. Additionally, "Nanomedicine" offers the promise of diagnosis and treatment at the molecular level in order to detect and treat presymptomatic disease,10 or to rebuild neurons in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. There is a possibility that severe complications such as stroke or heart attack may be avoided by means of prophylactic treatment of people at risk, and bone regeneration may keep many people active who never expected rehabilitation. Miniaturisation of diagnostic equipment can also reduce the amount of sampling materials required for testing and medical surveillance. Miraculous developments, that sound like science fiction to those people who eagerly anticipate these medical products, combined with the emerging commercial impact of nanotechnology applications to consumer products will reshape civil society - permanently. Thus, everyone within the jurisdiction of the Council of Europe is an end-user of nanotechnology, even without realising that nanotechnology has touched daily life.

El imaginario colectivo actual, reflejado sobre todo en el cine, muestra una profunda transformación de las características esenciales de la humanidad. La racionalidad ha sido desplazada por otros aspectos tradicionalmente relegados a lo irracional, lo animal, lo corporal, como la emotividad, el deseo, las pasiones. La ciencia-ficción y el cine expresan perfectamente esta deriva, pero no son las únicas manifestaciones. Juntamente con algunos ejemplos cinematográficos, este artículo extrae otros provenientes de la filosofía o la literatura modernas, así como de las barbaries sociales contemporáneas -genocidio, colonialismo¿ y alguna otra nota del campo de la neurología científica y la inteligencia artificial.

El seu article parteix de l'afirmació que el destí de les dones al segle XIX està marcat, en la ficció, pel "bovarysme", malaltia que proposa que les dones s'emmalalteixen i moren perquè llegeixen malament. El treball analitza aquest problema de la "mala lectura" traçant un recorregut que va des de Fernán Caballero fins a Freud i es comenten alguns episodis de lectura que apareixen en la "Autobiografía" de Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda, Clemencia, Amalia, Madame Bovary, María, La regenta i El caso Dora. Her article departs from the statement that the destiny of women in the 19th century is determined, in fiction, by "bovarysm", an illness which proposes that women get sick and die because they read incorrectly. The work analyzes this problem of "bad reading" tracing a journey from Fernán Caballero to Freud, and comments on several episodes about the act of reading, from Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda's "Autobiography", Clemencia, Amalia, Madame Bovary, María, La Regenta and Dora's Case.

RésuméA l'image de son personnage, qui se déplace en subissant toutes sortes d'expériences lui permettant de « grandir », le roman d'apprentissage traverse les siècles et les cultures en Occident, mais trouve aussi un écho tout à fait particulier parmi de nombreux romans d'Afrique noire francophone. Ce genre littéraire se découvre tant parmi les productions de l'époque coloniale que parmi les plus contemporaines et peut être envisagé en tant que métaphore d'une autonomie langagière et littéraire progressivement acquise, tout en gardant à l'esprit que les catégories génériques occidentales n'ont pas à être dupliquées telles quelles sur les productions fictionnelles africaines. L'hypothèse de travail associe les dimensions diachronique et synchronique pour observer un croisement de pratiques formelles et génériques dans les textes de fiction romanesque d'Afrique subsaharienne. Elle utilise dans ce cadre les romans Karim d'Ousmane Socé (1935) et Une Vie de boy de Ferdinand Oyono (1956).AbstractLike their protagonists, who undergo a journey and in the process come of age, coming-on-age novels have abounded and evolved throughout the centuries in the West - but they are also present in sub-Saharian African literature. The coming-of-age genre was popular during colonial times and is even more so today. Where African Francophone literature is concerned, we can take this type of novel as a metaphor for its gradually acquired linguistic and literary autonomy, keeping in mind that Western genres and patterns cannot be applied willy-nilly to this new generation of African litterateurs. Taking into account both historical and territorial aspects, we will examine African Francophone literature, stylistically and thematically, in its approch to gender. To do so, we will analyse Ousmane Socé's Karim (1935) and Ferdinand Oyono's Une vie de boy (A boy servant's life, 1956).

Los manuales de historia de la lingüística tratan del mito bíblico de Babel y del nacimiento de la gramática en Alejandría de manos de Dionisio de Tracia. Estos pasajes de la historia, que corresponden a épocas diferentes, remiten a dos problemas fundamentales de la lingüística: por una parte, el origen del lenguaje y la diversidad lingüística; por la otra, la invención de la gramática como instrumento para la edición de textos y para el conocimiento formal de la lengua. Pese a las diferencias, Babel y la biblioteca de Alejandría tienen en común una naturaleza mítica. Sus relatos contienen elementos de la ficción y de la realidad que suelen pasar desapercibidos. El artículo señala estos elementos y establece ciertas afinidades entre Babel y la biblioteca, de suerte que articulados componen un ciclo narrativo. // Abstract.- Babel and the Library, the myth masks in Linguistics. History textbooks of linguistics explain the biblical myth of Babel and the birth of grammar in Alexandria at the hands of Dionysius Thrax. These passages of history, which correspond to different times, refer to two fundamental problems of linguistics: first, the origin of language and linguistic diversity and on the other, the invention of grammar as a tool for text editing and formal knowledge of the language. Despite the differences, Babel and the library of Alexandria share a mythical nature. These stories contain elements of fiction and reality that often go unnoticed. The article points out these elements and establishes affinities between Babel and the library, so that it should be considered as a narrative cycle. Keywords: Babel, Library of Alexandria, myth, story, grammar, institution, Dionysius Thrax.

No entengueu aquest article com un clam nostalgic als herois i hero'ines de tots els temps. No el vegeu tampoc com una manca de reconeixement al gran esforç realitzat per escriptors i escriptores, món educatiu i editorial per ampliar l'oferta de literatura infantil i juvenil i posar a l'abast deis adolescents un ventall de títols i col-leccions que els motivin per a la lectura. Aquestes pagines ni tan sois pretenen entrar en la polemica sobre la funció literaria i pedagógica del corrent anomenat "realisme crític", amb reflexió psicológica, on s'hi tracten temes que permeten als adolescents identificar-se, de manera explícita, amb els infortunis que succeeixen als joves protagonistes. Adhuc, en aquest escrit es vol deixar al marge la qüestió deis límits entre literatura per a nens i joves i literatura per a adults.
