Dr. Cecilia Reviglio, a specialist in Social Communication, presented her book "The Question of Writing" published by UNR Editora at the Faculty of Political Science.

The work, which falls within the essay genre, was described by its presenter, Ana María Margarit, as a profound, sensitive, and rigorous investigation into the act of writing. The author, a professor and researcher at the National University of Rosario (UNR), confessed that the book is largely a gesture of gratitude toward her teachers and, fundamentally, toward her students, whose questions in her writing class prompted her to consider and ultimately answer the essential question: What is writing?

La defensa de la traza humana y su imperfección constitutiva en el texto es un p
