Alltagsmagie und Hexenverfolgungen in Geschichte, Kunst und Ideengeschichte. Rückblicke und Reflexionen einer kuratierenden Museumsleiterin
2020
Trudnym wyzwaniem jest przygotowanie wystawy tak złożonego, interdyscyplinarnego tematu kulturoznawczego, jakim jest polowanie na czarownice/czarowników, jego historycznej rzeczywistości i związanych z nim kwestii ideologizacji i mitologizacji. Ucichły już wprawdzie kontrowersje wokół interpretacji polowania na czarownice/czarowników, które w latach siedemdziesiątych i osiemdziesiątych XX w. były przedmiotem ostrego sporu między inicjatywami kobiecymi a ówczesnymi badaczami problematyki, którymi wówczas byli prawie wyłącznie mężczyźni. Spór ten doprowadził do słusznego przesunięcia uwagi z obrazu ofiary, głównie kobiety, na szerszy kontekst społeczny, polityczny i prawny zagadnienia. Nadal …
Elisabeth on Free Will, Preordination, and Philosophical Doubt
2021
Elisabeth is widely known as a critic of René Descartes' account of mind--body interaction and scholarly interpretations of her view on the will most often pose the question about the freedom of the will in relation to bodily impulses such as the passions. This chapter takes a different perspective and focuses on the problem of the compatibility of free will and providence, as it is discussed in a sequence of six letters that Elisabeth and Descartes wrote between September 1645 and January 1646. The chapter focuses on this specific metaphysical problem in order to ask what Elisabeth's remarks on the topic can tell about her general philosophical method as well as about her particular philos…
A Historical Analysis of Media Practices and Technologies in Protest Movements : A Review of Crisis and Critique by Anne Kaun
2017
Dr. Anne Kaun’s book, <em>Crisis and Critique: A Brief History of Media Participation in Times of Crisis</em> (London: Zed Books, 2016, 131 pp., ISBN: 978-1-78360-736-5), is a concise but comprehensive analysis of the changing media practices and technologies in protest movements. The book overviews the topic within the context of major economic crises and scrutinises three richly detailed case studies in the United States: (a) the unemployed workers’ movement during the Great Depression in the 1930s, (b) the tenants’ rent strike movement of the early 1970s, and (c) the Occupy Wall Street movement following the Great Recession of 2008. Kaun begins her book with an introduction t…
After essentially contested concepts
2012
Tutkielmassani tarkastelen W.B. Gallien teoriaa essentiaalisesti kiistettävistä käsitteistä. Gallien vuonna 1956 julkaiseman merkittävän artikkelin ”Essentially Contested Concepts” jälkeen teoria essentiaalisesti kiistettävistä käsitteistä on saanut osakseen laajaa huomiota keskenään hyvinkin erilaisista lähtökohdista asiaa lähestyviltä teoreetikoilta. Gallien alkuperäisen teorian tosiasiallista sovellutusalaa ja tarkoitusta koskevien kiistojen lisäksi jotkut kommentoijista ovat pyrkineet muuttamaan ja uudistamaan ko. teoriaa, jotta Gallien alkuperäinen oivallus pystyttäisiin turvaamaan, siinä missä toiset tutkijat ovat tyrmänneet koko projektin lähtökohdiltaan jo vääräksi. Näiden kontribuu…

The Janus Face of Political Experience
2018
Arendt’s concept of experience can contribute in important ways to the contemporary debates in political and feminist theory. However, while the notion is ubiquitous in Arendt’s thinking we lack an understanding of experience as a concept, as opposed to the impact of Arendt’s personal experiences on her thought. Drawing from her notes for “Political Experiences in the Twentieth Century,” the article seeks to enrich our understanding of the Janus-faced character of political experience. It emphasizes the importance of vicariousness, and argues that experience should be understood as a process of suffering, enduring, and re-experiencing events beyond our conscious control. The article further…
Philosophy and language in young Nietzsche
2015
Resumo:O objetivo deste estudo é a exposição da filosofia da linguagem que Nietzsche apresenta em suas primeiras obras, sobretudo em seu decisivo escrito póstumo de 1873. São considerados três aspectos da trajetória de Nietzsche. Seu interesse pela linguagem poética e musical, desde a juventude; sua formação em filologia clássica; suas investigações filosóficas sobre o tema. Pretendemos mostrar como, nesse período, se parte de uma concepção metafísica para uma visão mais linguística. Nietzsche parte do fundamento metafísico para uma versão da linguagem como relação de signos e símbolos. Abstract:The purpose of this study is the explanation of the philosophy of language that Nietzsche presen…
Strawberries and Cream: The Relationship Between Food Rejection and Thematic Knowledge of Food in Young Children
2021
Establishing healthy dietary habits in childhood is crucial in preventing long-term repercussions, as a lack of dietary variety in childhood leads to enduring impacts on both physical and cognitive health. Poor conceptual knowledge about food has recently been shown to be a driving factor of food rejection. The majority of studies that have investigated the development of food knowledge along with food rejection have mainly focused on one subtype of conceptual knowledge about food, namely taxonomic categories (e.g., vegetables or meat). However, taxonomic categorization is not the only way to understand the food domain. We also heavily rely on other conceptual structures, namely thematic as…
La Concepción de María en el tiempo. Recuperación de fórmulas tempranas de representación de la Inmaculada Concepción en la retórica visual del virre…
2014
This paper addresses a genuine aspect of conceptionist visual rhetoric during the Viceroyalty of New Spain: the recycling of Immaculate Conception earlier types of representation that, with the consolidation of the image of the Immaculate derived from the Tota Pulchra, had fallen deprecated in the peninsular art. The tendency of artists and patrons towards these typologies reveals a key aspect to understand the definition of Hispanic culture during the centuries of the Baroque. In the peripheral areas of the Empire, instead of continuous affirmation of the existence of a single Hispanic world, the springs of control over the religious image allowed variability in the implementation of the C…
En defensa de una concepción alternativa de la interpretación jurídica
2011
RESUMEN El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar críticamente las concepciones de la interpretación jurídica – cognitiva, escéptica, e intermedia – que vienen copando la discusión en torno a esta cuestión en el ámbito de la Teoría del Derecho y presentar los rasgos básicos de una comprensión de la tarea interpretativa, en cierto sentido alternativa a las anteriores teorías estándar, que ofrece una mejor explicación de sus aspectos centrales ABSTRACT This work looks critically into three conceptions of legal interpretation - cognitive, skeptical, and intermediate- that come monopolizing the discussion on this issue in the field of Law Theory. This paper presents the basic features o…
