The book "Expulsion from the House. Chilean Historical Dramas 1920-2020" by Federico Zurita Hecht, published by Ediciones Universidad Finis Terrae in Santiago, analyzes the relationship between historical reality and theatrical representation in Chile throughout the 20th century. The author uses the concept of "capitalist logic/rationality" to examine the exclusion of certain social groups from the economic means of production of the time. The book is based on five cases of plays that address the theme of expulsion from the house as a social metaphor for exclusion. The author establishes a chronology and conducts a contextual and textual analysis to support his hypothesis, highlighting the importance of historical consciousness in theater and its connection to the political processes of memory and forgetting.

Part III In Chapter 6, Sedgwick suggests that transactional analysis "perches atop two distinct ideas", the cognitive and the psychodynamic approach (p. 132). However, in my view, Sedgwick appears to make assumptions that transactional analysis practitioners have not yet considered the impact of self and world, cognitive vulnerabilities, and absences. In Chapter 2, entitled "The Good Enough World", Sedgwick focuses on the necessity of acknowledging that "therapy in the end is only therapy" (p. 58) and the need to be realistic about what can be accomplished.

The text is a review of a book titled "THE MEDIEVAL BELL TOWERS OF VALLADOLID AND SIMANCAS: Contextual Dialogue and Analysis through Graphic Survey and Archival Documentation". The author of the doctoral thesis, Juan Luis Sáiz Virumbrales, analyzes the towers belonging to the churches of Santa María la Antigua, Santa María la Mayor, and San Martín in Valladolid, as well as the one in El Salvador in Simancas. A detailed study is conducted on the forms, construction, use, circulation, typologies, proportions, and metrology of these towers. In addition, a documentary analysis is carried out, and it is concluded that the tower of Santa María la Mayor in Valladolid is not related to the tower of Santa María la Antigua and was built by Castilian craftsmen based on the tower-porch typology of Burgos.

This article examines a rediscovered poem by James Beattie (1735–1803), found in Walter Scott’s library at Abbotsford, his home near Melrose. ‘The Grotesquiad’, written in 1757 and supposed lost since 1762, is here described, contextualized and analysed for the first time; a transcript of the substantial work is also included in an online appendix. The article argues that the mock-heroic substance of ‘The Grotesquiad’ offers a fresh appreciation of Beattie’s literary output. It analyzes the poem’s comedy with reference to Beattie’s philosophical writings on humour and contextualizes ‘The Grotesquiad’ with special emphasis on its relationship with Cervantes’s Don Quixote.
