O projeto Mujeres Maestras del Perú. Estudo de caso sobre identidades de ensino
2018
El proyecto «Mujeres Maestras de Perú» nos acerca a las opiniones de veintiun maestras peruanas. Las que trabajan en entornos menos favorecidos e insisten en su precocidad vocacional. Las maestras nos hablan de dicho factor vocacional como de algo que ya aparece en su infancia en tanto que deseo explícito de dedicarse a la docencia.

The soundslide report : innovative journalism or misplaced works of art?
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Nordicom Review. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.2478/nor-2014-0007 Open Access The audio slideshow-or soundslide report-represents a new format for journalistic reporting on online news sites.

"Paolo Boccone’s curious observations and the Commitment to Visual Communication of Natural History", speech at International Conference "Art and Sci…
2015
In his "Recherches et observations naturelles" (Amsterdam 1674) the botanist Paolo Boccone (1633- 1704) presents himself as an advocate of a new visual method. He was supported by Jan Swammerdam, with whom he shared his scientific observations. Boccone claims to be the first to apply microscopic dissection to figured stones, in order to distinguish accidental shapes from natural ones. Boccone, as many of the members of the scientific community with whom he corresponded, had a strong commitment to painstaking observation and visual communication, that he was able to handle on many levels. The allegorical frontispiece of "Recherches" is aimed to present a range of moral and psychological atti…
Preface
2017
The volume is devoted to images in painting, photography and cinema invented by literature. At the same time it intends to question, through this perspective, the relationship between text and image, between verbal and visual in modern and contemporary literature. The authors investigate the mutual boundaries between literature and arts from the point of view of aesthetics, visual culture and literary theory, trying to build a map of the notional ékphrasis, a description which constitutes the work of art while telling it.
Framing in Crisis. Literature and Optical Devices in the Age of Hoffmann
2016
This book analyzes the interplay of gazes, optical devices and images in literature. Following the developments of Visual Culture studies, literary theory has expanded its original field of investigation and addresses, beyond the traditional relationship between the verbal and the visual, the influence that gazes, optical devices and images can have on literary texts. This research tries to define the literary lives of the scopic regimes of modernity: the gazes of English early modern women's writing, the optical devices in German literature between Classicism and Romanticism, and the images of the mineral world in modern French aesthetics.
La mirada de los docentes hacia su ciudad: identidades urbanas y educación patrimonial
2014
Con la presente investigación1 nos acercamos a la peculiar mirada de los docentes hacia su ciudad. Queremos averiguar si existe realmente una identidad docente en esta observación que desarrollan los educadores ante lo urbano. Para ello utilizamos una metodología basada en los estudios de caso (Hubard, 2008), habiendo podido acceder a las opiniones de educadores mediante entrevistas y actividades participativas. Hemos centrado nuestro análisis en docentes de dos ciudades: Montevideo (Uruguay) y Valencia (España). Indagamos en la propia mirada de los educadores, para posteriormente detectar sus intereses particulares en todo aquello que ofrece la ciudad: un encuentro con la mirada (Csikszent…
