Presentation of volume 11, Issue 27, January-June 2024

Argos journal  27 begins the year 2024 with a series of varied and, as always, interesting articles. Before reviewing them, we must say that this issue appreciates the collaboration of its authors, particularly that of the doctor, narrator and essayist, renowned musicologist, as well as a notable plastic artist, Gonzalo Lizardo Méndez because, in addition to entrusting us with the article of his authorship, Francisco Ignacio Madero or the syncretic spiritualism of a revolutionary, who has the quality and interest in the novelty of his critical approaches with which he writes essays and creative works, now extended his confidence in our work to invite his colleagues to collaborate with Argos and thus give a different twist to this number, where we will find the following studies:

The article Courtly love and the dialectic of loneliness in The invention of Morel, by Amparo Reyes Velázquez, Autonomous University of the State of Quintana Roo, the author focuses in a novel way on a contemporary classic novel, located in the group of the few that she admired. Borges.

Literary frontiers of artificial intelligence: textual analysis, automatic translation, and text generation in comparative literature, by Antonio Rodríguez Jiménez, belonging to the Autonomous University of Guadalajara, touches on a topic that is on the minds of all university students and actors of the generation of art and new paths of knowledge. Looking at this article will surely provoke more than one reaction.

Broken and eternal loyalty: symbols of Mexican masculinity in El compadre Mendoza by Mauricio Magdaleno, authored by Ricardo Torres Miguel, Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana- Iztapalapa, invites us to read and revisit this emblematic work from an emerging perspective.

Diego Misael Arredondo Morales, from the Metropolitan Autonomous University, in the article Social representation in the literature of fatigue, written with remarkable precision of terms, gives a sharp, informed look at contemporary creation and, therefore, critical, at being and make today's poetry. 

Readers who love the baroque and neo-baroque will welcome José Cemí's Journey: The Hero's Journey in Paradiso and Oppiano Licario, article by Daniel Martínez López, Autonomous University of Zacatecas, since, like Góngora's hermetic work, Lezama's Lima appreciates the addition of intelligent readings that give light to her keen senses.

The plague of ants, a fictional passage in The History of the Indies by Fray Bartolomé delas Casas, is a work by the specialist in New Spain literature Marina Ruano Gutiérrez, from the University of Guadalajara; In it he shows us that, in addition to being a hero of the Indies and a victim of Borges' irony in his book Historia universal de la infamía, Bartolomé de las Casas was a fiction writer, and not a bad one. We thank the author for this contribution.

We will find a comparative study in the article The symbol of the tree in two Mexican writers: Inés Arredondo and Amparo Dávila, by Ana María Sánchez Ambriz and Sergio Figueroa, both researchers at the University of Guadalajara. The contrasts and similarities of the two narrators are treated with a remarkable critical apparatus.

The striking title To be or not to be a bug? The representation of women in reggaeton culture is an article by Andrea Cecilia Madrigal Sánchez, from the University of Guadalajara. In this work, the author reviews an interesting episode in the generation of a new order of relationships, where the roles of the actants are quickly reversed. The modern and novel vision applied to the study of the phenomenon will also raise concerns among our readers.

The sentiment of those who remain by Giorgio Caproni.  Yuleisy Cruz Lezcano. Country: Italy, invites us to learn about the life and work of an Italian professor and poet. Innovative in his two passions, Giorgio Capronio seems to have anticipated the innovative practices of constructionism in educational theories of the last third of the 20th century by several decades.

Like every issue, in the creation section we present poems and stories that reflect the constant renewal of literary art. The diversity of themes and registers used to materialize them are in line with the dizzying and complex times we live in. All the voices gathered together could form a symphony to the attentive ear.

With such renowned collaborators, Argos maintains the tone in this issue that we are happy to present to you. Many thanks to the authors for being generous with our magazine and to the readers for accompanying us on the new journey on the deck of the barge of the Argos of letters.

The direction.
