Religious belief, once in the domain of the humanities, has found a new home in the sciences. Promising new developments in the study of religion by cognitive scientists and evolutionary theorists put forward empirical hypotheses regarding the origin, spread, and character of religious beliefs. Different theories deal with different aspects of human religiosity – some focus on religious beliefs, while others focus on religious actions, and still others on the origin of religious ideas. While these theories might share a similar focus, there is plenty of disagreement in the explanations they offer. This volume examines the diversity of new scientific theories of religion, by outlining the logical and causal relationships between these enterprises. Are they truly in competition, as their proponents sometimes suggest, or are they complementary and mutually illuminating accounts of religious belief and practice? Cognitive science has gained much from an interdisciplinary focus on mental function, and this volume explores the benefits that can be gained from a similar approach to the scientific study of religion.

Esta compilación es el resultado de la transcripción textual de los conversatorios que tuvieron lugar en Zoom, en marzo de 2024, con motivo del vigésimo aniversario de A Contracorriente: una revista de estudios latinoamericanos. Dichos conversatorios contaron con la participación de cuatro destacados escritores latinoamericanos, Pola Oloixarac (Argentina), Jorge Volpi (México), Patricio Pron (Argentina) y Nona Fernández (Chile); asimismo, sus interlocutores fueron los críticos Ariel Schettini, Héctor Jaimes, Greg Dawes y María Rosa Olivera-Williams, respectivamente. En las reflexiones generadas a partir de estos diálogos se exploran las formas en que la literatura actúa como herramienta de resistencia frente al neoliberalismo contemporáneo.

Con estos ensayos de los mas nombrados criticos de la obra de Pablo Neruda aqui reunidos, este libro pretende rindirle homenaje al gran critico de la obra del Premio Nobel chileno, Hernan Loyola. Algunos de ellos--los de Pedro Lastra, Jaime Concha, Patricia Poblete Alday, Claudio Rojas y Mario Valdovinos--se dedican a subrayar su importancia capital como docente en Chile o bien su enorme contribucion a los estudios nerudianos al mismo tiempo que destacan el lado personal: su aguda inteligencia, su generosidad, su humor, su ojo para el detalle, su calor humano, su heterodoxia en cuanto a lo academico, entre otras cosas. Los otros son estudios dedicados a la obra y sus alrededores. Abordan tales temas como la dialectica de la tierra y el cielo (Alain Sicard), el amor y la muerte en poesia nerudiana (Selena Millares), la correspondencia entre Dario Puccini y Neruda (Gabriele Morelli), las narraciones fantasticas del poeta (Dario Oses), el entrecruce de narrativas sobre un mismo impostor escritas por Pio Baroja, Jorge Luis Borges y Neruda (Luis Inigo-Madrigal) y la nocion de la democracia que tiene el vate en su etapa anarquista y vanguardista (Greg Dawes). Asi, si bien se trata de rendirle un homenaje al mayor conocedor de la obra de Neruda en el mundo, Hernan Loyola, tambien se quiere aportar nuevas lecturas de la obra del poeta chileno.
