The book "The Desired Body. The Pending Conversation between Feminism and Anticapacitism" by Andrea García-Santesmases explores the relationship between feminism and anticapacitism, analyzing how patriarchy and capacitism co-produce each other. The book reflects on topics such as gender, care, violence, sexuality, and identity, using examples from popular culture. It also addresses the differences between capacitism and disability, and highlights the structural discrimination against people with functional diversity and the macho violence in relation to capacitism. The text analyzes how frameworks of legibility and enunciation influence the desire for the ideal body, and emphasizes the importance of establishing alliances between feminist and anticapacitist movements to address the construction of the capacitist system.

Based on a reading of "No se culpe a nadie" ("Don't Blame Anyone") by Cortázar, we have analyzed some strategies used so as to put the passionate dimension into discourse at the enunciation level, taking into consideration the relationships between the subjects involved - enunciator and enunciatee - and a particular construction of the utterance as the object. Aspectualization and modal articulations affecting the initial reading contract, delaying its execution and generating renewed curiosity in the receptor's simulacrum become pertinent in addressing the relationships between the subjects. Meanwhile, the utterance as the object that circulates is fi lled with meanings that increase the valence of the values assigned to it, cause concern, turn curiosity into expectation and establish suspense as delay, perplexity and admiration before the text-producing agent's competence.

Discusses the relationship between early film audiences and British filmmakers in Great Britain before 1907. Importance of clarity and coherence in coordinating the performance of films; Information on the limitations of enunciation theories in relation to early film; Influence of live performance upon actuality war films or travelogue films.

The present study aims to check the gravitation of classic culture in "Funes the memorioso". Classic culture is incorporated strategically in the definitive version of the short story. The fundamental elements of classic culture incorporated are, the rhetorical and mnemonic articulation, Latin as culture language and the books that make possible its learning, the XIV chapter of the book VII of Natural History by Pliny the Elder and the beginning of the "Ode XXX" of the Book third, by Horace. These elements don't only operate as sources but rather they impact in the two basic moments of the enunciation, in the construction of the fable, in the configuration of the characters and, finally, in the organization of discourse. At the same time, they provide certain incitements as for the correlation of the contents. They also determine the understanding of memory for contrast to that of the main character. The presence of these elements of classic culture is related with Borges' own experiences which transforms them fictionally and puts them in the narrator's voice in order to generate an autobiographical reading pact.
