Amnesty - 2nd Edition (2021)

("Amnistía")

Year of original publication: 2018.

Genre: Literary fiction, psychological thriller.

Topics: Immigration, survival, natural disaster, xenophobia, freedom, equality, racism, endangered species.

Language: Spanish.

Publishing company: Luminosa Publishing.

Casandra becomes a migrant after escaping the earthquake that hits her nation. Disturbed, a maelstrom of thoughts, desires and memories will alienate her. Attached to the one who will make her lose control of time, she glimpses the meaning of death. She will identify herself even more with the vultures in desperation for company

 

In her first novel, the director presents a poetic prose narrated over unstructured cognitions of dependency. Psychological and dreamlike in nature, the work is based on approaches from Estrangement of the World, by Peter Sloterdijk, and on National Geographic journalistic reports about the vulture, an endangered species. It also transforms the concept of death linked to the Catholic celebrations of the "Day of the Faithful Dead and All Saints" in Mexico.

"The saffron sky suffered a disenchantment. The impressed vultures left and my soul recognized the neglect. It was too late to prevent the water from overflowing on my face. I shared my affliction with the sky, which grieved until it bathed me.
Soon, the beach was empty”.

Amadeo Gastrell is a NASA aspiring student who becomes embroiled in the academic pursuits of his prestigious university, experiencing a conflict with his scientific goals. His brother Duncan takes advantage of Amadeo's outdated ethics, as he focuses his energy on interpreting the light of the Northern Lights and recognizing universal female freedom.

 

In her second novel, the director presents a psycho-philosophical work with cinematic editing, a combination of second-person narrative and point-of-view sequences. Dreamlike in character, this literary work is grounded in the writings of Arthur Schopenhauer, compiled in The Two Fundamental Problems of Ethics, and takes Sigmund Freud's perspective on psychic dynamics to the extreme. It also incorporates Immanuel Kant's concept of ethics into its characters and implements a new perception of asceticism.

"During the aurora season, I grew accustomed to enjoying the fireworks. On those nights, I longed for the sky to turn chiaroscuro, but the Sonata Borealis captivated them more and more, making them feel different."

Un desvelo de indocilidad

(A wakefulness of indocility)

Year: 2020

Genre: Literary fiction, suspense, dream thriller, narrative piece, workplace drama.

Topics: Friendship, dream interpretation, conspiracies, alcohol consumption.

Publishing company: Luminosa Publishing

Gertrudis's lost childhood generated an obsession with the ideal home, forcing her to invade the privacy of others. She will confront a subsistence system that is flawed in social values, accompanied by eight friends determined to hide their feelings.

 

In her third novel, the director presents a work of dramatic narrative structured as a theatrical piece. Psychological and dreamlike in character, the work is grounded in Eric Erikson's theories of psychosocial development and, in its extensive interpretation, builds upon Sigmund Freud's Die Traumdeutung. It also incorporates the key concept of Abraham Maslow's work, "A Theory of Human Motivation."

"A prodigious movement of privacy made me explode and my closed eyelids felt like they were dreaming of a fallacious cardiac artifact of the unknown and subliminal; an overload of solace led me to perceive the milestone of its imposture, and I, without shelter, almost immature, enjoyed the coarse concentrate of the Chardonucks in the uvula, the instant in which they covered my gaze with sandpaper."
