Vol. 4 (2024)

The dialogue established between texts, images, and the experiences we have as students, along with our perhaps stubborn, inquisitive, and curious criteria, emerges when drafting an academic article. This is how the endless questions, the desire to argue and find connections, and the analysis of the elements that make up a written work come to light and are presented throughout the fourth volume of Ánima. These are voices that may have wavered initially but were enriched throughout the editorial process, drawing from expert feedback and delving into the very genesis of a thesis that over time became mature and took shape, condensing into a text full of depth and nuance.

Regarding this assertion, it is imperative to remember that this space was conceived with the aim of opening up discussion on the Humanities, specifically related to Literature, Art History, and Philosophy. This objective becomes tangible when exploring the narrative voice of Humberto Eco concerning the value of narrative texts and everyday life, as well as the meaning of incest and how it is treated through various literary figures and interacts with the psychology of trauma in the text "La Fiebre del Carnaval." Additionally, there is the analysis of the artwork "Antemurale Christianitatis" and how it serves as a symbolic element within the struggle between Europe and the Ottoman Empire. Furthermore, the production and reception of the New Granada clusters among various courts during the sixteenth century and their relationship with the aesthetics of those times are explored in relative terms. Finally, Philosophy is addressed from Sloterdijk's perspective regarding Humanism and its relevance in a globalized and hyperconnected world.
