Submitting “Alternative Facts” to Debate: A Weberian Perspective on Post-truth Politics
2018
'Oxford Dictionaries' chose “post-truth” as the “Word of the Year 2016”, while the association of German linguists (Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache) did the same for '“postfaktische Politik'”. “Alternative facts”, launched by Kellyanne Conway concerning the attendance at Donald Trump’s inaugural, was a third variant in this cluster. In this article, I shall discuss Max Weber’s parliamentary perspective on the critique of given facts and of the powers of science in relation to the debates around post-truth politics. A critical assessment of Leo Strauss’s critique of Weber as a nihilist and relativist introduces the problematic. One aim of the article is to illustrate how even trivial sloga…
Traducción y género: el estado de la cuestión en España
2011
All processes experience periods of advance and recession. Now that feminism is relevant in so many spheres of political action around the world, be them local or international, and that translation is more than ever a recognized and valued instrument in political relations, this moment seems a good one to reflect on the state of the art of feminism within the translation world, in which it is already undeniable that politics and language are intertwined. Many are the questions that could be asked: Is feminist translation still an interesting field of study in Spain? Have theory and practice walked at the same pace in this area? Have Spanish translators committed to this cause changed their…
El feminismo de Freud
2017
El psicoanálisis freudiano supone una subversión de la filosofía del sujeto. El yo no es, para Freud, una función primordial, pues no existe en el individuo desde el principio ninguna unidad comparable al yo, sino que este ha de ser desarrollado. La historia del desarrollo del sujeto es la historia de su sexuación. Y su sexuación no es resultado de un producto natural ni predeter- minado, sino que es algo permeable que se cons- tituye discursivamente. Freud preconiza, de este modo, una de las tesis más aclamadas en el debate feminista actual: la diferencia sexual no es origi- naria sino que, más bien, es originada. Freudian psychoanalysis represents a subversion of the philosophy of subject…
El valor de la palabra en la prevención de la violencia de género en contextos escolares
2016
<p>Los planes de prevención de la violencia en la escuela deben contemplar que esta no solo se manifiesta de manera física, sino también verbal. El lenguaje es, además, el germen del problema, especialmente en los casos de violencia de género, y en esencia aglutina parte de su solución. Reconocemos el papel fundamental de la educación en su atención y vigilancia como premisa para alcanzar la igualdad entre mujeres y hombres. Precisamente con nuestra propuesta, basada en el estudio de programas anti acoso y de prevención de conductas sexistas, consideramos diez pautas de comunicación verbal eficaces para la prevención de la violencia de género y el fomento de la igualdad, dirigidas al …
Nos inventamos un mundo que no existía. Una profesión de riesgo: ser editora durante el franquismo
2021
Desde el final de la dictadura franquista, la censura editorial se ha constituido en un objeto de estudio interdisciplinar que, al inicial análisis de la constitución y entramado de la censura, incorpora el estudio de una casuística varia que redimensiona el fenómeno. Por un lado, en el contexto de los memory studies, cabe analizar qué efectos tuvo en la configuración de la memoria cultural. Por otro, tiene, además, una notable incidencia en la edición, por la autocensura y la contracensura. En concreto, este artículo explora la labor de algunas editoras que, en la Barcelona de los años sesenta y setenta, integraron una generación histórica opuesta al franquismo que lidió con la censura en …
Crítica, sabotaje y subalternidad
2013
Este ensayo define un “nuevo” concepto de crítica denominado “crítica como sabotaje”, su necesidad en el contexto de la posglobalización y sus puntos de referencia. Para ello, introduce una definición de la textualidad como fuerza performativa real que modeliza la visión del mundo de los receptores y les incita a llevar a cabo actos y discursos. Asimismo, ilustra la “crítica como sabotaje” mediante unos breves ejemplos pertenecientes a diferentes registros semióticos.
L’ORIGINE DELLA VIOLENZA MASCHILE NEL FEMMINISMO E LA PORNOGRAFIA NEL PENSIERO DI MACKINNON
2019
In this article, first, I will show that the masculine violence against women is likely to depend on some causes, and one is surely the crisis of patriarchal conception, and should be repressed in many ways. Second, I will show that there are some fallacies in MacKinnon’s thought about pornography
CELEBRATING WOMEN ARTISTS IN JORDAN: REFRAMING GENDER ROLES AS RESISTANCE
This thesis focuses on women artists in the capital of Jordan, Amman, and particularly on their cultural practices as an expression of a creative agency. These women create independent spaces, cultural initiatives, public performances and original artworks that allow the reframing of gender roles in neoliberal patriarchal societies today. Beyond labeling the emergence of a new female activism, or femtivism, as feminist or revolutionary, I suggest reading it as the reconfiguration of a new wave of feminisms in Jordan, which engages with the visual arts, the contemporary cultural scene of Amman, the geography of the city and the political commitment, often in informal domains rather than in i…
Movimento femminile e democrazia in Sicilia: la Consulta regionale femminile del 1977
2021
This chapter aims to reconstruct the history of the political mobilization of Italian women. It focuses on the movement that from the early Seventies involved women active in Sicilian women's associations, political parties, and trade unions and, with them, militants who did not belong to any organization. In particular, the essay analyses the role played by the Italian Communist Party in introducing Italian women to the political arena of democratic Italy. In Sicily, one of the results of this mass mobilization and political participation was the political institutionalization into the Sicilian Regional Women's Council, established on 7 May 1977 with regional law number 272. In this contex…
