In this article, we seek to establish a connection between literary heternonyms and discourse fragmentation. We will try to find the origins of literary heteronyms in Western narrative, and their linkage with the notion of the Self in the Western philoshopy. In doing so, we will attempt to show the relationships between literary heteronyms and various figures of authorial voice displacement and multiplication, and other recent narrative literary trends (like autofiction), with some examples.

It is obvious that musical interactions between siblings take place within the family environment and are significant for their musical development. This paper presents data from a study on these interactions about which even now very little is known. Participants are siblings from two to six years old from three Catalan families with similar characteristics. Data is collected by LENA®’s DLP (Digital Language Processor) tool, an audio recorder capable of recording for 16 hours, with high quality and in a non-intrusive way, that is worn by the younger sibling. Recordings were collected periodically and for a whole day and were complemented with some voice messages narrated by the parents to contextualize the recording day. Data has been analysed using a validated table to extract information about four dimensions: 1) participation order, 2) place, 3) interaction type, and 4) source. Results reveal, among other information, that: a) in most of the interactions the older sibling starts the musical episode and the younger one finishes it, b) the interactions happen mostly at home; c) imitation and synchrony are very used, and d) interactions are based equally on songs and improvisations.

The article focuses on laws and legislation related to plagiarism, copying and forgery. It reports on the consequences of violating the right of reproducing original works without the permission of authors. It also emphasizes the prohibition of false attribution of authorship to prevent violation of copyright and intellectual property.

This article invites us to reflect on the public faith in registration and the property rights in the case of real estate fraud (falsification of documents or identities theft). In our country, there are two positions that seem to be irreconcilable: On the one hand, those who defend the public faith in registration above the property rights; on the other hand, those who defend the property rights above the public faith in registration. It is important to assume one of the two positions in this confrontation, because only from the academic discussion will be possible to find an effective solution to this problem.

The explanation for the origin of the name "Mula" (Spanish mule) from an etiological story about a mule that gave birth, a miracle announcing the conquest of the city by Prince Alfonso in 1244, may actually be considered a distant literary echo of a passage from Herodotus which relates the fall of Babylon into the hands of the Persians, -considering that such natural wonders appear frequently in the work of Herodotus and that of other historians from Antiquity-. The author or authors of the so-called Mula Muncipal Charter (a literary forgery dating from the second half of the 16th century) may well have been familiar with Herodotus' account through Renaissance epitomists like Johannes Textor and Pierus Valerianus and writers as Erasmus. The use of ancient accounts is common in modern Spanish historical and pseudo-historical literature, with its abundance of false or, at the very least, dubious documents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
