Con muchas aclaraciones de Ensayo y Crítica Literaria, o la (lettera y tur) -arte de la palabra o arte de la letra- para enriquecer más aun sus escondidos tesoros del conocimiento, que cada persona tiene guardada en lo profundo de su corazón, como una reserva especial para los momentos de convivencia con los seres más queridos. Asimismo lo importantes son, llegar a comprender un ínfimo por ciento de las riquezas literarias, entonces la comunicación entre los seres humanos seria más agradables. Y con certeza que maravilloso seria avenirse sin distinción de raza ni lengua, ni credo religioso y color, sino tan solo apreciar con la lettera y tur a los oídos de cada prójimo, y luego salir a la luz para demostrar las riquezas que llevamos por dentro cada ser humano. Además de todos, el dominio del idioma y la cultura si es posible colectivamente, es lo imprescindible en las profesiónes como Políticos y de los Credo Religiosos, pero también el adepto puede adquirir estos principiando en la educación y el estudio de la observación, depurándose en la práctica constantemente para lograr el objetivo.

The Catholic University of America Press is honored to announce the publication of the first volume of the critical English edition of The Collected Works of Karol Wojtyła/John Paul II. In conjunction with an international editorial board, the English Critical Edition will comprise 20 volumes, covering all of his writings and correspondence both in the years before and during his papacy. What makes this collection so important is that access to his writings have been a significant challenge. Except for official papal addresses and documents preserved and disseminated by the Vatican, his works have been scattered and limited, or in need of a new translation. Finally, English-language audiences have faced the challenge, even in the case of published texts, of working across multiple languages and translations and of dealing with textual idiosyncrasies. The inaugural volume of this collection is Person and Act, together with related essays, which is in many respects constitutes Karol Wojtyła’s most profound and well-known philosophical work. Originally published in 1969 as Osoba I czyn, this work of metaphysics and philosophy is widely influential even though it is highly challenging intellectually and has heretofore posed difficulties for translators.
Contains scholarly evaluations of books and book chapters as well as conference papers and articles published worldwide in the field of Latin American studies. Covers social sciences and the humanities in alternate years.
The essays in this volume broaden previous approaches to Atlantic literature and culture by comparatively studying the politics and textualities of Southern Europe, North America, and Latin America across languages, cultures, and periods. Historically grounded while offering new theoretical approaches, the volume encourages debate on whether the critical lens of imperialism often invoked to explain transatlantic studies may be challenged by the diagonal translinguistic relationships that comprise what the editors term "the wider Atlantic". The essays explore how instances of inverse coloniality, global networks of circulation, and linguistic conceptualizations of nation and identity question dominant structures of power from the nineteenth century to today.
