Institut Ramon LLull

This collection of brief literary essays plays unashamedly with the Christian imagery and goes beyond the specialist’s or devotee’s scope with a humanist and transversal understanding. The authors reflect on literary criticism, philosophy, or sociology, and propose new approaches to the Bible’s narratives.

Pilar Codony reviews Judeo-Christian tradition, the modern heteropatriarchy, and the climate crisis; Víctor Pérez digs into topics as wide and diverse as scapegoating in contemporary societies to pornography; Anna Pazos analyses the relationship between power and desire, the masculine and feminine eros; while Borja Bagunyà analyses the relationship between reality and consciousness as well as the implications behind the mechanisms of ordergiving and taking. A collection born under the conviction that the classics can allow us to rethink current-day challenges.
