Los que vuelven tarde

Six stories in which the past returns to unsettle lives that seemed to have moved beyond it. Family memory, identity and experience pull in different directions.

Six stories. Two recognised in literary competitions in Spain.

Also in the catalogue: El orden anterior · La versión vigente · La causa posterior

Thinking about what
can still change.

Institutions that allow revision. The time left in which to act. Convictions that sustain an identity. Three approaches to reconsidering what we take for granted.

Philosophy, history and society

Las sociedades que aprenden

What does a society need in order to recognise that it has been wrong? A political history of dissent, warnings and the institutions that make revision possible.

La ventana humana

A decision may remain open to formal review when its consequences can no longer be undone. How long do we actually retain control?

La forma que resiste

Changing a conviction can feel like a threat to the person who holds it. An essay on knowledge, identity and the transformations that make continuity possible.
