Violent Conflicts and the New Mediatization: The Impact of Social Media on the European Parliamentary Agenda Regarding the Syrian War
2018
As key institutions in Western democracies, parliaments have gained importance regarding foreign affairs issues in recent years. Their increasing role as moral tribunes and discussion forums on conflict prevention and resolution have led to the parliamentarization of international affairs. The examination of the parliamentary agenda and the actors who shape it constitutes a fundamental part of agenda-setting studies as applied to the media and political systems. Among these actors, mass media must be highlighted, taking into account the complex process of information gathering for members of Parliament, particularly in cases related to international violent conflicts. Moreover, in the speci…
The Rocky Road of Growing into Contemporary Citizenship: Dewey, Gramsci, and the Method of Democracy
2015
Characterized by globalization, increasing pluralism, and new complexities of citizenship, the contemporary world poses challenges to the ways in which we conceptualize of the processes of searching for shared solutions to ever-complicated social problems. While the political rhetoric emphasizes the value of citizens’ participation, engagement, and “voices,” there are increasing feelings of frustration, incapacity, and disinterest on behalf of the citizens regarding the supposed eff ects of their political engagement. In order to conceptually grasp the problem of searching for shared solutions and the related challenges to education, we draw on John Dewey’s idea of the method of democracy a…
Nietzsche i l'escepticisme : assaig d'aclariment d'una pretesa contradicció
2021
S'ha afirmar sovim que en marhia de teoria del coneixemem, Nietzsche és un esckptic. En aquest anide es fa un acurat repil.s de !'obra nictncheana a la cerca de les sentencies en pro o en contra de l'escepticismc, on les posicions en contra d'aqucst són especialment abundases en contradicció amh aquclles intcrprctacions. En el curs d'aqucst recorregut s'esbossa el conccpte nietzscheà de filosofia i la diferCncia entre aquesta i la ciCncia. La tesi final és que Nietzsche considera l'escepticismc una condició necesüria, perO no suficient, de la vcrtadcra filosofia. la filosofia sobirana i disciplinadora de la cultura. Així es dissoldrJ. la contradicció entre les interpretacions de !'autor com…
La destrucció del patrimoni artístic i la seua reconstrucció. Un exercici de microhistòria: el cas de Llíria i la Confraria de la Sang (1936-1949)
2020
The problem of artistic destruction and its reconstruction has been little studied. Using a microhistorical analysis method, we study the town of Lliria (Valencia) and its brotherhood of ?La Sang de Jesucrist? (had a great heritage from the 16th to the 19th centuries), and we also analyze how and why this destruction and reconstruction was generated during the context of the civil war. We use and combine different sources (public of the ?Causa General? and private of the ?Minute Books?) for this research, with the intention of specifying the analysis of this complex process. We also explain social and artistic relationships of these two processes, that help us study the workshops of the mos…
El proyecto de un pórtico clasicista para la iglesia de los Santos Juanes de Valencia y su impacto en el entorno urbano (1788-1856)
2020
In the year 1788, the parish of Los Santos Juanes in Valencia proposed to the City Council the erection of same classical-style portico in order to beautify its outer eastern façade, surrounding the head of the temple and relying on the Plaza del Mercado. This portico was never built, but there would be an impact of such an architectural purpose in subsequent reform plans of that outstanding urban location.
El edificio gremial de los abaixadors o tundidores, en Valencia
2020
In the ?barri del mercat?, in the city of Valencia and very close to its Lonja, there is a building complex which is the object of this study. The research, carried out from the simple field of toponymy, to the constructive analysis, lead us to suppose that it is the building of the Valencian trade union of cloth-shearers. It can be seen how the building now camouflaged by other subsequent interventions, corresponds to a type that cannot be related to those usually built in the city of Valencia. Its origins clearly from the Valencian self-governing period splendor, its dimensions and the finishes used in its construction seem to refer to a medieval workshop. A structure of great importance …
Diversification in evolutionary arenas - assessment and synthesis
2019
Abstract Understanding how and why rates of evolutionary diversification vary is a central issue in evolutionary biology and ecology. The concept of adaptive radiation has attracted much interest, but is metaphorical and verbal in nature, making it difficult to quantitatively compare different evolutionary lineages or geographic regions. In addition, the causes of evolutionary stasis are relatively neglected. Here we review the central concepts in the evolutionary diversification literature and bring these together by proposing a general framework for estimating rates of diversification and quantifying their underlying dynamics, which can be applied across clades and regions and across spat…
Creer en el mundo, creer en el futuro: Deleuze y la “gran política” del pensamiento
2015
El propósito del presente trabajo es mostrar en qué medida la afirmación deleuziana de una unidad compleja entre vida y pensamiento implica, no sólo una crítica radical de (la filosofía de) la trascendencia –y, a su través, de (la metafísica de) la presencia–, sino también una clínica (relativa al pensar, a la sensibilidad, al cuerpo y, por ende, al tiempo) de cuyo desarrollo la “fe” en este mundo (inmanencia), así como la creencia en el porvenir (novación), constituyen las dos principales directrices
Social Media as Platform for Stimulating Urban Changes
2016
Images have always been an important part of city planning – current images of place, images with planned improvements, maps and sketches. Some time ago all that was a private property of stakeholders like planner and client. But nowadays this confidentiality rather much has vanished – no copyrights or competition is noteworthy. Plans do not have their privacy anymore. They are exposed even before they got implemented. This article will display why city planners share the images of their ideas, of their dreams in public (mostly in blogs and social networks) – why it is important for them and what kind of feedback they are waiting for. This article is based on case study where 12 respondents…
Postveritat, escepticisme de recepció i escepticisme d'emissió
2019
Les creences porten a l'acció i en l'acció es manifesten. Actuem segons allò que creiem, i no sempre les nostres creences constitueixen coneixement. Són les creences les que ens menen (atesos uns desitjos determinats) a actuar, i com que aquestes poden ser falses, els nostres intents de vegades es veuen -per aquesta raó- frustrats: les nostres accions no assoleixen l'èxit. En la mesura que les nostres accions afecten altres persones, creences errònies poden dur a cometre injustícies, perjudicis o danys. Per tot això és important formar i transmetre creences vertaderes. Per totes aquestes raons, com a agents epistèmics i també morals, hem de procurar ser fiables a l'hora de formar les nostre…
