pp. 55-72. Paul Celans poem ‘Wutpilger-Streifzüge’ shows his attentive lecture of the Book of Bartolomé de Las Casas Brevísima relación de la destruición de las Indias.

By situating the notion of exile in the context of Gaos’ work, it will be seen that it was...

These are discrepancies that the two authors admit and that come to light on the occasion of a review written by José Gaos himself. The objective of the article is to try to link this conceptual distance with the existential event of exile, trying to show that, between the two positions,...

pp. 41-62 In the Archivio Storico del Ministero degli Affari Esteri of Italy there are numerous files, unknown in Mexico and Spain, regarding Spanish refugees who were asylum-seekers in Mexico.
