Comunismo platónico: Revisión crítica de un proyecto utópico y político-social en la Atenas del siglo V a. C.
2016
This paper aims to study the platonic «communism» as an utopian project which was never carried out. We survey the misnamed platonic communism and its forced relationship, with modern communism, which we analyze in depth. Besides that, by reviewing modern authors, we attempt to compare platonic communism with Marxism, searching for its beginning and causes, as well as its socio-politic aspects. Besides, we bear in mind the historical context where it appeared: Athens in the 5th century BC. En este trabajo estudiamos el «comunismo» platónico como un proyecto utópico que nunca se llevó a la práctica. Se analiza el mal denominado comunismo platónico y su forzada relación con el comunismo moder…
Islamic Shores Along the Black Atlantic
2016
Within the conceptual discussions of ‘Muslim diaspora’, the intersection between cultural blackness and Islam has received little attention. Yet its investigation is necessary to understand the increasing conversion to Islam among people who associate themselves with cultural blackness. In this context, Islam seems to offer new means for resistance and liberation, and contributes to transnational countercultures directed against racism and socio-economic marginalisation in post-colonial societies. Using Gilroy’s ideas of ‘the Black Atlantic’ and ‘diaspora’, we aim to develop an analytical framework to understand processes of black Muslim identity formation. The empirical foundation is provi…
The Roman circus and southwestern city quarter of Carthage: first results of a new international research project
2018
AbstractThe paper presents first results of a joint German–Tunisian research project in Carthage, Tunisia. Archaeological fieldwork has been undertaken (preceded by a geophysical survey) in the southwestern quarter of the ancient city to study the architecture, chronology and urban context of the circus. The area has, unlike the rest of Carthage, not been targeted by excavations of the late nineteenth/early twentieth centuries and, also unlike the rest of Carthage, is mostly not overbuilt, although under pressure from neighbouring communities. The area is the last one allowing a large-scale diachronic urban study in which the circus and its impact on the quarter is in the centre. From our f…
Epistemic, interpersonal, and moral stances in the construction of us and them in Christian metal lyrics
2011
Abstract Religious groupings and subcultures both tend to have well-articulated interests, aims, and values that unite certain people but also alienate those who do not share their interests. The case is then made for the construction of difference between ‘us’ and ‘them’. This paper examines the construction of such a group boundary in the previously little studied context of the Christian metal (CM) music subculture. The focus of analysis is on the kinds of stances that are taken and attributed to ‘us’ and ‘them’ in the English lyrics of Finnish CM groups. The particular types of stance are related to questions of epistemology, interpersonality, and morality. The paper shows that the bord…
Facework strategies and the achievement of multiple goals in a court martial cross-examination in the film A Few Good Men
2013
Following recent trends of research into television and film language that is being undertaken in various sub-disciplines of linguistics (Piazza et al. 2011), this article describes the nature of the interaction that takes place in the cross-examination of Colonel Jessep in the film ‘A Few Good Men’. The dialogue is from the last scene of the film and it exemplifies how the attorney manages to get the truth out of an uncooperative witness. It is not, however, only the outcome of the interaction itself that is of interest, but the process through which this is reached. By analyzing in detail the facework strategies enacted by the participants in the interaction towards themselves and others …

Testimonio y literatura. Algunas reflexiones y tres realizaciones en la narrativa argentina: Walsh, Urondo, Cortázar (1957-1974)
2015
Resumen: El estudio de la relación entre testimonio yliteratura reviste la complejidad que conlleva lasiempre discutida definición de lo literario. En efecto,la discusión sobre qué había de ser la literatura, en unaAmérica Latina cuyo proceso revolucionario se veía enmarcha, posibilitó la institucionalización el testimoniocomo género literario en el comienzo de la década de1970. El presente artículo se inserta dentro de dichadiscusión, presentsando el fenómeno de la literaturatestimonial desde el punto de vista de susimplicaciones teóricas y mostrando los criteriosconceptuales que sustentan, en nuestro enfoque, laconstrucción de un corpus de literatura testimonial.De acuerdo a dichos criter…
Campo literario y reconstrucción democrática. Dos poéticas estratégicas y una interpelación en la poesía chilena
2018
Este artículo se enmarca en el estudio de las transformaciones que ocurren en aquellos sectores del campo literario implicados en procesos de reconstrucción democrática. Más en concreto, se estudian las relaciones entre estrategias poéticas y políticas que se pueden constatar en el contexto chileno de la primera década de dictadura, un período cuyo inicio se sitúa en el golpe de estado militar del 11 de septiembre de 1973, que marcará una fractura política y también simbólica que será objeto de diferentes representaciones creativas y críticas. Se propone un acercamiento breve a dos estrategias opuestas de intervención: la que pretende restablecer vínculos de continuidad a partir de las anto…
New ways of looking into handwritten miscellanies of the seventeenth century: the case of “Spes Altera”
2020
A large number of copies of Shakespeare’s Sonnet 2 circulated in handwritten miscellanies from the second quarter of the Seventeenth Century. Eleven of those copies have significant variant readings that have led critics to put forward different hypotheses regarding their nature and quality. Most critics, taking into account stylometric analyses, have regarded them as early drafts of Shakespeare’s printed version, and have agreed on their poor quality.By paying due attention to the text’s context of production and reception, we have reached a different conclusion regarding both the nature and quality of the handwritten versions of Sonnet 2. In our view, they are the product of a conscious r…
Cosas, pruebas, indicios : los restos del conflicto armado en el Salvador
2020
A partir del contexto de impunidad y olvido que se determinó en El Salvador después de la guerra civil (1980-1992), el presente trabajo investiga la presentación y la re-presentación de los restos materiales en el ámbito de la noción de huella como presentificación material de una historia transcurrida pero vigente. Se hace referencia a unos restos (huesos, prendas de vestir, juguetes) que son pruebas procesuales, pero a esta función se añade otra, que implica el nivel afectivo, el trabajo del duelo, la reparación. El trabajo empieza con una breve y necesaria reseña histórica que enlaza la represión de 1932 con la estrategia de la tierra arrasada realizada por las fuerzas armadas en los 80,…
