Exploring the evolving concept of Jewishness and national identity, this work delves into contemporary Judeo-Argentinean fiction, highlighting themes of alienation and nostalgia amidst transculturation and shifting borders. It situates Jewish Argentinean narratives within the broader framework of Latin American literature and Judaic studies, focusing on novels from post-dictatorship Argentina. The analysis challenges traditional definitions, offering a fresh perspective on the complexities of identity in a diverse cultural landscape.

Erotic Japonism is the first monograph on the collecting practices of shunga (Japanese erotic prints) in Europe at the turn of the 19th century, most of all among the most renowned artists, and their use as a source of inspiration for them. The publication will take a new look at commonly held perceptions about history of art, revealing surprising dialogues among greatly talented artists such as Rodin, Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec, Degas, Beardsley, Sargent, Klimt, Utamaro, Hokusai or Kuniyoshi, as well as many others. -- Publisher.
