Homer and the Resources of Memory
How could a poet who worked in an oral tradition maintain the momentum of his song and how could a poet such as Homer weave a tale which filled an evening or, perhaps, a whole night? The answer lies in memory, as we have known. But this bald explanation does not do justice either to the complexity of memory or to the richness of the Homeric epics. Now that so much more information has become available to us, from cognitive psychology and linguistics, about the workings of the mind, we can identify with greater precision those contributions which memory makes to the composition and performance of oral traditional song. In this study the author shows that the demands made on the poet, who relies neither on rote memory nor on written notes, have led him adopt to certain memory-based strategies which have left their traces in the text. What we discover is that the poet in an oral tradition makes intense and creative use of those resources of memory, which are available to us all - episodic memory, auditory memory, visual memory, and spatial memory - to assist him both in the preparation of his song and at the moment of performance.

The Homemade God
Set against the wild backdrop of an intense heatwave in Europe, this is a story about sibling relationships - what holds a family together and what might fracture it forever. Family is everything, even when it falls apart. There is a heatwave across Europe. Goose and his three sisters gather at the family's house by Lake Orta in Piedmont, Italy. Their father, a famous artist, has recently remarried a much younger woman and decamped to Italy to finish his masterpiece. Now he is dead and there is no sign of a painting. Although the siblings have always been close, as they search for answers over that summer, the things they learn - about themselves, their father and their new stepmother - will drive them apart before they can come to any kind of understanding of what their father's legacy truly is. Extraordinarily compelling, at heart this is a novel about sibling relationships and those hairline cracks that can appear within a family: what what happens when they splinter, and what it would take to mend them.

Limiares Homem/Animal na literatura e na cultura da Idade Média
De forma assaz enfática, e muito consciente, o mundo medieval representa-se a simesmo, nas suas múltiplas práticas sociais e estético-culturais, através da figuraçãoanimal. Pela mão de um assinalável conjunto de especialistas, esta obra faz-nos,assim, recuar a um tempo em que a realidade se inscrevia amplamente sob a égiderepresentacional dos bichos; e, com isso, ajuda-nos a compreender, nós que vivemosem tempos de notória inquietação pelo vivente e de empatia pró-animal, os limiareshomem/animal durante a Idade Média central e tardia. Mas também, implicitamente,se revela fundamental para refletir sobre as razões pelas quais os séculos pós-medievais,em nome da Modernidade, foram apagando do seu imaginário esses limiares.
