Vol. 5 (2025)

The exercise of writing invites us to rethink the meaning of humanity, as it emerges as a diagnosis that transcribes the symptoms of the present's decline. Simultaneously, reading bets on materialized knowledge, reproduced through voices committed to restoring the value of the Humanities. This volume weaves together an urgent dialogue, annexes written production from both creativity and academic criticism, and manifests itself as a territory that does not speak, but which we nonetheless manage to hear through our eyes and navigate in deeply affective ways. That's what it's about—feeling the silhouette of language and discerning the meaning of texts, dismembering the muteness of the paragraph. The intrinsic value of writing has evaporated and the volatility of the reading act provokes the immobilization of knowledge; consequently, the fields covered by this journal are forced to recover their space in the contemporary imagination. We allow ourselves to mature the articles, expand the edges of the text, and (re)configure the discourses considered "academic," because we believe in the necessity of producing and questioning in times of crisis. The volume is a kind of construction from remnants, a patchwork of conceptual and theoretical leitmotifs that lead us to understand the current situation society is going through. It is the act of rewinding written language and braiding a discourse that oscillates between creative impulse and analytical work.
