Philosophy in Digital Culture: Images and the Aestheticization of the Public Intellectual’s Narratives
2020
The present paper deals with the problem of the digital-culture-public-philosophy as a possible response of those philosophers who see the need to face the challenges of the Internet and the visual culture that constitutes an important part of the Internet cultural space. It claims that this type of philosophy would have to, among many other things, modify and broaden philosophers’ traditional mode of communication. It would have to expand its textual, or mainly text-related, communication mode into the aesthetic and visual communication mode. More precisely, philosophers would have to learn how to aestheticize and visualize their ethical (epistemic, ontological, social) narratives by using…
Enduring the Autoimmune Aporia of Democratic Sovereignty
2021
The aim of this article is to read Rogues, in order to show that Derrida is neither a philosopher of democracy nor a critic of sovereignty , but rather a thinker of democratic sovereignty. Taking my cue from his Aporias, I argue that democratic sovereignty is aporetically in excess over itself, for it is based on articulating the path through the im-possible passage from the unconditional injunction of the ‘promise’ to the exigency of sovereignty. That is why it can neither be absorbed into the conditions of any existing democracy nor abstracted into any pure identity of sovereignty. Political trends today fail in enduring the aprioricity of aporia, as neoliberals valorize the posited condi…
Contents of Physical Education through the Images of PrimaryEducation Textbooks
2014
Esta investigación analiza las imágenes relacionadas con las actividades físicas que aparecen en los libros de texto de educación física (EF), concretamente en el tercer ciclo de la etapa de educación primaria (EP) y su correspondencia con los bloques de contenido de dicho currículo. La muestra está formada por 821 imágenes publicadas en cuatro editoriales españolas, a partir de la LOE. Se realiza un estudio descriptivo univariante mediante un sistema de categorías elaborado ad hoc, cuyo proceso de construcción consta de dos pruebas piloto, dos consultas a expertos y la triangulación con tres observadores. Las variables del estudio son: tipo de actividad física, ámbito, espacio y nivel de p…
Live free or die motionless : Walking the migrant path from Italy to France
2018
This essay and the photographs examine visual traces of irregular mobility in the border landscape between Italy and France. The ruined buildings and objects witness decades of movement of undocumented people on this old migrant path across the mountains. By taking the theoretical concept of multidirectional memory (Rothberg 2009) the essay argues that the Path of Hope can be thought of as a memory site through which the issues of migration in contemporary Europe can be seen in a more sustainable light. The ruins and discarded objects link memories of different places – including different border zones – in ways that allow us to critically examine borders as a practice – rather than as exis…
Continuous-Variable Tomography of Solitary Electrons
2019
A method for characterising the wave-function of freely-propagating particles would provide a useful tool for developing quantum-information technologies with single electronic excitations. Previous continuous-variable quantum tomography techniques developed to analyse electronic excitations in the energy-time domain have been limited to energies close to the Fermi level. We show that a wide-band tomography of single-particle distributions is possible using energy-time filtering and that the Wigner representation of the mixed-state density matrix can be reconstructed for solitary electrons emitted by an on-demand single-electron source. These are highly localised distributions, isolated fro…
The basic curriculum as a model for the right to a quality education
2018
En el presente artículo se analiza, desde un enfoque amplio, el derecho que toda persona tiene a la educación. Es decir, tomamos como principio la idea de que para el disfrute. pleno de este derecho esencial y universalmente reconocido no basta con el mero acceso a la escuela, sino que es necesario que el alumnado reciba unos aprendizajes fundamentales. Estos se tienen que garantizar, principalmente durante la etapa de escolarización obligatoria, a través del currículum –el instrumento fundamental en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje–. Un currículum básico compuesto por aquellos conocimientos que nadie debe ignorar, para así poder asegurar que todos los alumnos y alumnas, sin excepciones,…
Education for development in the university context. Why and for what?
2021
La educación para el desarrollo se ha venido popularizando progresivamente en las universidades españolas en paralelo con la extensión de la cooperación para el desarrollo entre estas. La educación para el desarrollo se ha visto como una oportunidad para promover el compromiso social de la Universidad y fomentar valores de solidaridad y justicia a través de la formación universitaria. La educación para el desarrollo ha puesto de relieve el componente educativo de la Universidad, a menudo subsumido por el afán formativo. Sin embargo, el alcance de la educación para el desarrollo y, sobre todo, su transversalización en los programas de estudio universitarios siguen siendo muy limitados. El ob…
Paul Ricoeur's Surprising Take on Recognition
2011
This essay examines Paul Ricœur’s views on recognition in his book The Course of Recognition. It highlights those aspects that are in some sense surprising, in relation to his previous publications and the general debates on Hegelian Anerkennung and the politics of recognition. After an overview of Ricœur’s book, the paper examines the meaning of “recognition” in Ricœur’s own proposal, in the dictionaries Ricœur uses, and in the contemporary debates. Then it takes a closer look at the ideas of recognition as identification and as “taking as true.” Then it turns to recognition (attestation) of oneself, in light of the distinction between human constants (and the question “What am I?”), and h…
$(BV,L^p)$-decomposition, $p=1,2$, of Functions in Metric Random Walk Spaces
2019
In this paper we study the $(BV,L^p)$-decomposition, $p=1,2$, of functions in metric random walk spaces, a general workspace that includes weighted graphs and nonlocal models used in image processing. We obtain the Euler-Lagrange equations of the corresponding variational problems and their gradient flows. In the case $p=1$ we also study the associated geometric problem and the thresholding parameters.
The Dialectic Between Strength and Weakness in Dostoevsky (1860-1864). Ideology as Key for the Interpretation
2013
Los estudios críticos de la obra de Dostoievski evitan relacionarla con su ideología. El presente trabajo parte del supuesto de que la confrontación de la obra literaria con la ideología del autor puede proporcionar algunas claves decisivas para la comprensión de conceptos compartidos por ambos campos. Se ha analizado las categorías de fortaleza y debilidad, como nódulos importantes en la malla conceptual-imaginativa. El trabajo se limita a un periodo esencial de la obra de Dostoievski, 1860-1864, puesto que hay un consenso generalizado en que es clave para la evolución de su obra madura. Critical studies of Dostoevsky’s work usually avoid relating it to ideology. This essay assumes that th…
