The night child : a novel
Nora Brown teaches high school English and lives a quiet life in Seattle with her husband and six-year-old daughter. But one November day, moments after dismissing her class, a girl's face appears above the students' desks and terror rushes through Nora's body. Twenty-four hours later, while on Thanksgiving vacation, the face appears again. Shaken and unsteady, Nora meets with neurologists and eventually, a psychiatrist. As the story progresses, a terrible secret is discovered--a secret that pushes Nora toward an even deeper psychological breakdown.

Stuffing the open cranium with cotton, fitting the skullcap back in place and easing the scalp back over the skull, thereby restoring the facial contours, and minding the tiny stitches from behind one ear to behind another was only part of the process of embalming. . . . While Danny's coordinates are the names of streets and rivers, fish and flies, Harold, in \"Hunter's Moon,\" uses the names of the caskets he sells for a living to navigate his world -- the \"Clarksville Princess Mahogany with a tufted dusty rose velvet interior,\" for example, or the \"Autumn Oak Ensemble.\"

La maternidad en fuera de campo en las dramedias españolas (2018-2021)
España es el segundo país europeo con la tasa de natalidad más baja y también el segundo en el que las mujeres posponen más su maternidad. Teniendo en cuenta este contexto, este artículo analizó cómo se construye el imaginario de la maternidad en seis dramedias españolas contemporáneas, distribuidas por las plataformas de vídeo bajo demanda. En primer lugar, se realizó un análisis de contenido cuantitativo y cualitativo para observar la presencia de procesos relativos a la reproducción, los objetivos de las mujeres y la pluralidad en la representación de las figuras maternas. En segundo lugar, se implementó una metodología cualitativa de análisis textual que estudió la puesta en escena de las primeras y las últimas apariciones de las protagonistas en la serie para observar la evolución de su arco narrativo. A partir de esto se concluyó: 1) que las mujeres protagonistas de las dramedias españolas tienen gran conocimiento y control de sus procesos reproductivos, y que aunque ser madres no es una prioridad para ellas, cuando lo es, se apartan de los estereotipos tradicionales; y 2) en estas ficciones, las decisiones sobre la maternidad son representadas como fruto de impulsos individuales, lo que destaca la ausencia de compromiso con el contexto social actual. El artículo demuestra que las dramedias actuales marcan un avance respecto a la representación en las ficciones españolas de la primera década del siglo XX, si bien se observa un menor diálogo con la realidad social que en las dramedias anglosajonas contemporáneas.
