El cuerpo figurado
Vol. 2 No. 16 (2006)In recent years, numerous investigations have made the human body their object of study from different disciplines and in equally varied texts and contexts. In semiotics, interest has been moving towards a conception of the body as the very source of all meaning and the place from which the relationship of the human being with the world is defined.
The articles contained in this issue explore from literature, art and anthropology, those processes of figuration that intervene in the construction of the discourse as a sensitive and corporeal presence, as well as those through which human body becomes a discursive construction.

Huellas del contacto lingüístico
Vol. 1 No. 15 (2006)History of human kind is a history of migrations and exchanges that leaves its prints on languages. Following such affirmation, this issue brings together a set of works dedicated to the analysis of various morphosyntactic changes produced in languages in a contact situation. Although the analysis of Spanish language in contact with American indigenous languages has been privileged, neither its impact on any indigenous languages, nor the contact between two indigenous languages, has been ignored. The researches brought together in this release let us leave behind the exaltations of linguistic homogeneity and monolingualism just to make possible the recognition of heterogeneity as the natural state of any complex community.
