¿Qué es lo que le hace la IA a la confiabilidad del impreso?
Las consecuencias prácticas son que no tenemos que agonizar sobre la confiabilidad de un libro publicado antes de que lo pongamos en uso. No es necesaria una investigación para confirmar que el autor existe en efecto y que el texto está autorizado. La contratación de un espía literario que nos confirme que la casa editorial…

Is communication overrated?
When communication nonetheless breaks down (as it sometimes does) we can pinpoint the error and make our language more specific: Yet another dark, oven-hot morning in yet another hotel bedroom, packing, dressing… and now I couldn’t find my sock.

Daniel’s chapter on food fantasies and fetishes is most widely applicable to the food-as-temptation story. In British literature, food fantasies typically depict “rich foods” in “vast quantities as well as foods that contemporary discourses on health condemn as fat-laden” (62). Daniel notes that because of Europe’s history of famine (in England, France, and Ireland), food…
