The 13th issue of the journal Hetereotopías presents, in addition to its usual sections, a dossier coordinated by Dr. Lucía De Leone and Dr. Nora Domínguez of the Instituto de Investigaciones de Estudios de Género, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires. The dossier, entitled "Writings on the edge of the abyss: how is the present constructed?", gathers articles that propose a reflection on the personal and collective experiences of traumas, radical anguish, maximum precariousness, imminent catastrophes and extinction that have nurtured with different motifs and forms the obverse and reverse sides of history, accounting for the infinite number of subjective, affective and political variations that constitute the experience of bodies. In the words of the coordinators, our era is marked by the proliferation and lack of hierarchy of writings, by the profusion of styles and proposals, by the multiplication of fictions, and by the questioning of the status and borders of the humanities. In response to this, the dossier proposes a set of personal and collective experiences, always situated and their textual materialities, as part of the gestures of intervention at this juncture.
