Con un enfoque íntimo y auténtico Tania Tagle nos comparte sus dudas y sus reflexiones en torno al embarazo, el parto y la crianza, entretejidas con la exploración de conceptos como lo monstruoso, el milagro y la maravilla.
 
Así dialogamos al mismo tiempo con ella y con pensadores romanos, como Tito Livio, entre otros, para rastrear dónde se gesta y cómo se transforma la idea de monstruo, al mismo tiempo que se transforma el cuerpo de una embarazada; o en la segunda parte, donde Tagle se acerca al momento del parto concebido como milagro, alumbramiento, trazando la genealogía del término a través del judaísmo, de los mitos griegos o de San Agustín. Finalmente, llegamos al momento de la adquisición del lenguaje, a la crianza, con esa sorpresa, ese thauma que pone en conversación a Tales de Mileto, a María Zambrano o a Sócrates.
 
Germinal es un ensayo que acompaña el proceso de traer a una persona a este mundo desde un entendimiento de la angustia y la belleza que eso implica. Un libro que conmueve y que abre espacio, también, para pensar cómo se insertan esos procesos en el pensamiento y la cultura y cómo podemos transformarlos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Through an intimate and original approach, Tania Tagle shares with us her doubts and reflections on pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting, entwined with the exploration of concepts such as the Monstrous, the Miracle, and the Wonder.

Thus, we dialogue with her and some Roman thinkers, such as Titus Livius, among others, to trace where the idea of a monster was born and how was transformed to contrast with the transformation of a pregnant woman’s body; while in the second part, Tagle approaches the moment of giving birth, conceived as a miracle, tracing the genealogy of the term childbirth through Judaism, Greek myths, and even Saint Augustine. Finally, we reach the key moment of language acquisition and upbringing, with that surprise, that thauma, starts a conversation with Tales of Mileto, María Zambrano, and Socrates.
 
Germinal is an essay to accompanying the process of bringing a person into this world by understanding the anguish and beauty that this implies. A moving book that also invites us to think about how these processes are inserted into thought and culture and how we can transform them.
