La presencia de la voz. Percepciones y lenguaje poético en Germán Carrasco y Erri De Luca by Martina Bortignon

“…Particularly, the interplay between voice and image is investigated: on one hand, voice and image merge together, generating a synesthetic continuum that emphasizes the materiality of representation; on the other hand, they eclipse each other, so that the frustrated access to the referent through a specific sensory channel make it paradoxically more present. …”

Making space: instructions in joint building activities by Antje Wilton

“…By doing so, participants interact not only with each other, but also with their predecessors via the use and creation of material artefacts. The analysis shows that the establishment of boundaries as a fundamental human activity relies on multimodal instructions that employ means to create a joint mental image of the object or structure in its space-to-be in the interactional space to which participants orient until the structure is finished and becomes permanently available as a material object in the environment. …”
