Gender Injustices in Neoliberal Times. On Nancy Fraser’s Proposal
2018
El artículo se propone elaborar una crítica al neoliberalismo desde una perspectiva de género, empleando la teoría de la justicia de Fraser como marco analítico. Tras recoger la narrativa histórica que Fraser elabora en torno al feminismo de la segunda ola y sus relaciones con el capitalismo, se realiza un análisis pormenorizado de las características del modelo neoliberal según los criterios de redistribución, reconocimiento y representación de la teoría de la justicia de Fraser. Finalmente, se analizan las críticas que diversas teóricas, entre las que destaca Fraser, han realizado a un supuesto feminismo neoliberal, el cual deja intactas las estructuras de dominación económicas y promueve…
Emotions and epistemology: a path for reconsideration in the 21st century
2017
The present paper explores the gap between sensations and emotions in the global capitalism. We held the thesis that there are diverse ways to systematise the theoretical orientations on which the studies on the body/emotion are based; a possible one, having in mind the Latin American context and without intent of exhaustiveness, is the following: a) a line of work connected to Foucault and his concepts of control, discipline, and technologies of the self; b) an approach connected to Bourdieu and his notions of habitus, body hexis, and social fields; c) a set of investigations in the field of biopolitics referring to Esposito and Agamben on the one hand, and to Negri and Hardt on the other;…

2016
In the contemporary knowledge economy, higher education has become an integral part of national innovation systems and is supposed to help attract globally mobile capital.

We seek to identify the connections of TNCs with the prestigious Association of American Universities (AAU) member institutions through the individuals who simultaneously serve on the university board…
The End of Tourism as We Know It
2019
The present chapter posits an interesting discussion revolving around the term Thana Capitalism, which was originally formulated in earlier works. Originally formulated to serve as an opposite alternative against neo-pragmatism, neoliberalism toyed with the belief that the world can be united through the consumption and free trade. During 80s and 90s decades, the theory of development adopted tourism as an efficient instrument to struggle with poverty. Under the auspices of neoliberalism, modern tourism not only paved the ways for an “Kantian eternal peace,” but also conducted a much deeper process of democratization beyond the borders of Western civilization. After the recent, stock market…
