Todos los hombres del siglo XVII que sabían leer tuvieron alguna vez una relación de sucesos en sus manos. El XVII fue el siglo de esplendor de estos impresos noticiosos que gacetilleros de todo tipo escribieron, y a los que muy diversos impresores dieron forma en su taller. Portaban siempre nuevas «verísimas», como las bodas de una princesa extranjera, o el portentoso parto de un niño monstruoso, que el pueblo consumía con ansia, y hasta los escritores más reputados - Miguel de Cervantes, Lope de Vega o Francisco de Quevedo - aludían a ellas en sus obras. ¿Qué hizo que estos textos, generalmente anónimos, fueran tan populares durante el reinado de Felipe III y Felipe IV? ¿Qué procedimientos se utilizaban para otorgar verosimilitud a este tipo de discurso? ¿Constituyen las relaciones de sucesos una tradición discursiva? ¿Qué tienen en común el Corlisango, el peje Nicolao, el grifo de Loyes y los hermanos Coloreto? El estudio edita catorce relaciones de sucesos españolas sobre seres monstruosos, que fueron impresas durante los reinados de Felipe III y Felipe IV y analiza los principales recursos lingüísticos utilizados para otorgar verosimilitud a los contenidos, mostrar la subjetividad del enunciador, reflejar la polifonía o manifestar la modalidad enunciativa.

This book examines sexual fantasies and their influence on everyday life through the stories of twenty-two men who introduce themselves as bugchasers, i.e. gay men who eroticize HIV. The author defines bugchasing, charts its history and contexts, and considers how it has changed in the age of internet and PrEP. Through the participants, their experiences and contexts, this text also theorizes about sexual fantasies, seeking to understand how people define sexual fantasies and use the internet as a space to navigate their desires, meet others, and find support. Chapters also consider the practical implications of fantasy, most notably, how fantasies influence men's decisions around HIV prevention and care. This book speaks to renewed interest in both the AIDS crisis and the sociology of everyday life to illustrate how fantasies such as bugchasing appear, evolve, and adapt. This book will be of interest to scholars focused on queer studies, sexuality studies, gender studies, and healthcare.
