2016
El presente trabajo propone una aproximación multimodal al estudio de los emoticonos a través del análisis del uso del emoji del pulgar hacia arriba en un corpus de mensajes de WhatsApp. Además de contribuir a superar la idea, todavía muy arraigada, de que los emoticonos sirven para expresar emociones en el discurso digital, el trabajo toma en consideración algunos aspectos tradicionalmente obviados en el estudio sobre estas pequeñas caras, en concreto, la historia que hay detrás de estos recursos semióticos, la sofisticada relación entre imagen y texto y la interacción entre los usuarios en la vida real y en la pantalla.

2021
According to EU Regulations on transnational families and successions, a foreign rule remains without effect if it is deemed contrary to the so-called public policy (ordre public) of the forum?s legal system. As a consequence, judges have to evaluate whether the application of foreign law is incompatible with fundamental principles of the domestic law, especially whether it would constitute a violation against human rights. An outstanding controversial issue is today represented by Islamic repudiation (talaq): two contrasting Italian judicial decisions of August 2020 may illustrate how difficult it could be to determine what public policy is.

Un cuento de robots : La hija cibernética de descartes
2021
French philosopher René Descartes is today valued as a forerunner of the studies of human mind, artificial intelligence and robotic systems. Throughout his work there are large references to automata and the possibility of artificial life, as well as an assessment of the differences between rational behavior of human beings and the purely mechanical of animals and automata. In addition to these references, there is a fable about the creation by the philosopher of an automaton that replicated his deceased daughter Francine, a story that is well known among the French and Anglo-Saxon specialists, but not so much in the Spanish ones, which is what settles this short work
