TL;DR: The articulacion en un solo estudio de la obra de autores tan divergentes como Julio Cortazar (1914-1984) and Ernesto Sabato (1911-2011) debe hacerse con extrema precaucion al tratarse de autore cuyos aparatos epistemologicos fundamentales son, ciertamente, distantes.

Mourning A Series of Unfortunate Events
TL;DR: This paper argued that the series challenges conventionalized understandings of mourning as externalizations of preemption, prevention, readiness, and revenge, and that mourning occurs by coming to terms with one's specific, personal, and perhaps publicly untranslatable relationship with loss, and by risking the continued propensity for hurt that comes with social and political participation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose to view the postcolonial city as a fugitive, manifold, hetero- geneous, impermanent and textualised site, interwoven with the metaphorically and literally tectonic forces of cultural discourse (of political, historical, personal or literary origin), which can be found in a constant process of collision, bringing about dichotomised displacements, palimpsestic fusions and emergences of hybrid or protean forms.
