ABSTRACT
Ursula K. Le Guin (1929-2018) was an influential American writer who was a leading literary figure of the 20th century. She is known for her contributions to the science fiction and fantasy genres. She wrote numerous novels, short stories, poems, and essays throughout her career, exploring various themes and pushing the boundaries of speculative fiction. In this article, I discuss Le Guin's writings on the developmental tasks of adolescence. In Le Guin's fiction, she examines how different social and cultural contexts determine patterns of maturation and the acquisition of the roles and responsibilities of adulthood. This article focuses on two novels, A Wizard of Earthsea from the Books of Earthsea (Le Guin, 2018), and Coming of Age in Karhide (Le Guin, 2017).

Felipe Trigo (1864-1916) fue uno de los médicos escritores más importantes de la época de la Restauración borbónica. Fue médico rural y médico militar pero fue especialmente conocido por su obra literaria y periodística. Entre sus obras más importantes figuran El médico rural (1912) y Jarrapellejos (1914), donde realiza una profunda crítica de la sociedad española de la época. Trigo fue conocido por sus obras de literatura erótica por las que fue atacado en su tiempo, lo que contribuyó a su olvido después de su muerte. El médico rural contiene numerosos elementos autobiográficos del tiempo que ejerció como la medicina en pueblos extremeños. Tiene un notable interés para conocer cómo era la práctica de los médicos, su conocimiento de los avances médicos del siglo XIX y las relaciones que ese establecían con el pueblo llano y la estructura caquicil dominante. Después de décadas de práctico olvido, Trigo vuelve a ser considerado como uno de los médicos escritores más notables de su generación
Felipe Trigo (1864-1916) was one of the most important writers of the Borbonic Restoration period. He was a country physician and military physician, but he was especially known by his literary and journalistic work. Among his most important literary, we should show up El médico rural (1912) and Jarrapellejos (1914), where he performed a strong critical approach of the Spanish society of his time. He was also known by his erotic novels, which were strongly attacked at the time. This fact contributed to the oblivion of his works after the Trigos death. El médico rural contains many autobiographical elements of the time he worked as physician in country villages of Extremadura. The novel has an outstanding interest to know how was the medical practice of country physicians, their knowledge of the medical advances of the late nineteenth century and their social relationships with plain people and the local rulers. After decades of being almost forgotten, Trigo is now recognized as one of the physician writers more noteworthy of his generation

The works of Argentinian scholar Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) have captivated physicians. An assiduous reader, he was given, with magnificent irony, "books and the night". Borges suffered from chronic and irreversible blindness, which influenced much of his work and has been the subject of different literary and diagnostic analyses from the ophthalmological point of view. However, the characteristics of his visual impairment have escaped the neurological approach, which is why we reviewed his work looking for data suggesting a concomitant brain injury. On his autobiography, he recounts how, during an episode of septicemia, he suffered hallucinations and loss of speech; in addition, in some poems and essays he describes data that suggest "phantom chromatopsia", a lesion of cortical origin. After that accident, Borges survived with a radical change in literary style. Although a precise diagnosis is impossible, his literary work allows recognizing some elements in favor of concomitant brain involvement.

RESUMO. A partir do paradigmático caso freudiano, baseado no livro de Schreber, o artigo destaca a importância, para o autor, da redação e sobretudo a posterior publicação do seu livro autobiográfico Memórias de um Doente dos Nervos (1905/1984). A ênfase do artigo recairá tanto na atividade de escrita do próprio autor de seu Memórias, incluindo sua repercussão no campo da psicanálise a partir da interpretação de Freud e Lacan, quanto à intenção de Schreber de torná-la pública. Ambos os trabalhos, a atividade de escrita e publicação do livro serão articulados ao conceito de suplência no ensino de Jacques Lacan. A hipótese do presente artigo é a de que tanto a escrita do delírio como a posterior publicação funcionaram como reforços na sua estabilização delirante. A primeira denominada aqui como transcrição do delírio funcionou como apoio à sua imagem pessoal e a segunda referente a tornar pública sua obra funcionou como sustento de seu nome próprio.
RESUMEN. A partir del caso freudiano paradigmático basado en el libro de Schreber, en el artículo se subraya la importancia para el autor, de la redacción y la posterior publicación de su libro auto-biográfico Memorias de un enfermo de nervios (1905/1984). El énfasis del artículo será ubicado tanto en la actividad de escribir del propio autor sus Memorias, agregando ahí la repercusión de esa obra en el campo del psicoanálisis con la interpretación de Freud y Lacan, cuanto la intención de Schreber tornarla pública. Los dos trabajos la actividad de escrita y publicación del libro serán articulados al concepto de suplencia en la enseñanza de Jacques Lacan. La hipótesis del presente artículo es la de que tanto la escrita del delirio como la publicación sirvieron como refuerzos en su estabilización delirante. La primera llamada acá de transcripción del delirio funcionó como apoyo à su imagen personal y la segunda referente a tornar publica su obra funciono como apoyo a su nombre proprio.
ABSTRACT. From the paradigmatic Freudian case based on Schreber's book, the present article highlights the importance, for the author, of the writing and especially the subsequent publication of his auto biographical book Memoirs of My Nervous Illness (1905/1984). The emphasis of this article will be on both the writing activity of the author of his Memoirs, including his repercussion in the field of psychoanalysis from the interpretation in Freud and Lacan, as well as on the intention to make it public. Both works, the activity of writing and publishing the book, will be articulated to the concept of substitution in the teaching of Jacques Lacan. Thus, the hypothesis of this article is that both the writing of delusion and its publication reinforced his delusional stabilization. The former, denominated here as transcription of delirium, worked as support to his personal image while the latter, referring to making his work public, worked as supports for his own name.

ABSTRACT The Argentinian author Silvina Ocampo (1903-1993) left us a vast body of works which are considered outstanding in many ways. In 1960, she published a short story, entitled "El médico encantador" (The Charming Physician), in the renowned literary magazine Sur. The central character of this piece is a family doctor named Albino Morgan, who had a secret truth: in any house he visited, all variety of disease also entered. He brought with him the viruses he disseminated. The narrator of this short story—one of his patients—describes four of Morgan's diseases. These imaginary neurological conditions allowed Ocampo to explore improbable situations in everyday life.

En su introducción este trabajo pasa revista a la concepción del Sujeto que, con origen en la Antigüedad Clásica, se desarrolla en la cultura occidental hasta llegar a la Ilustración y el Romanticismo, añadiendo nuevos aspectos pero sin poner en cuestión su fundamento en un Sujeto substancial. La primera gran puesta en crisis de este fundamento, y de la herencia recibida, se manifiesta en el primer cuarto del siglo XX, tras la lectura y asimilación de la obra de Marx, de Freud o de Nietzsche, que sientan las bases para la crítica del Sujeto. Una manifestación de primer orden de la crisis que se deriva es la proliferación de la escritura apócrifa, que alcanza modelos alternativos en la obra de Fernando Pessoa y en la de Antonio Machado. Entre ambas se extiende el horizonte de referencia de la intensa y extensa colección de apócrifos de Max Aub. Este trabajo explora la significación de sus apócrifos fundamentales: Luis Álvarez Petreña y Jusep Torres Campalans, y frente a ellos el caso limítrofe de Luis Buñuel, tratado por Max Aub como un apócrifo de signo contrario (AU)
The introduction of this paper reviews the concept of the subject, which originated in classical antiquity and developed in Western culture up to the Enlightenment and Romanticism with the addition of new aspects but without questioning its foundation as a substantial Subject. The first major crisis of this received view took place in the first quarter of the twentieth century after the assimilation of the works by Marx, Freud or Nietzsche, which laid the foundations of a thorough criticism on the subject. One important feature of this crisis was the proliferation of apocryphal writing, which reached new models in the works of Fernando Pessoa and Antonio Machado. Between them lies the scope of the intensive and extensive collection of Max Aubs apocryphal writings. This paper explores the significance of his main apocryphal characters Luis Álvarez Torres Petreña and Jusep Torres Campalans, as well as of the borderline case of Luis Buñuel, which was handled by Max Aub as an apocryphal of opposite sign (AU)

Teniendo en cuenta que muchos autores tienden a utilizar las mayúsculas inadecuadamente por muy diversas razones, en este artículo se definen y ejemplifican sus principales usos, a fin de reconocer su verdadero valor ortográfico y evitar que sean empleadas injustificadamente en algunos casos u obviadas en otros, porque ambas decisiones están erradas. Como elemento intermedio entre las minúsculas y versales, también se dedican determinados párrafos a las versalitas(AU)
Taking into account that many authors tend to use the capitals inappropriately for several reasons, in this paper their main uses are defined and exemplified in order to identify their true orthographic value and to avoid that they are unjustifiably used in some cases or obviated in others, because both decisions are wrong. Certain paragraphs are also dedicated to the small capitals as intermediate element between the lower-case letters and capitals

El presente trabajo se realizó con un doble propósito: ampliar los datos disponibles respecto del proceso de aprendizaje de un aspecto específico del sistema gráfico correspondiente a escrituras de base alfabética y contribuir al análisis de la incidencia del aprendizaje del español y hebreo escritos en la competencia ling³ística de niños que concurrían a la escuela J. N. Bialik de la ciudad de Rosario en el año 2001. Este estudio se focalizó en las características de la segmentación de palabras gráficas y en los procedimientos que emplean los niños al producir un texto en español y hebreo. La población estuvo conformada por 14 alumnos de 7 años de edad, en su mayoría, que cursaban 2º Año de EGB en la institución citada. El procedimiento metodológico se basó en la reescritura en español y en hebreo del desenlace de un cuento2 por parte de los niños a partir de la lectura del mismo a cargo de la tesista en ambos idiomas. Respecto de lo
