Peasantry is neither created nor destroyed, it can only be transformed. Agrarian discourses in the Delta de l’Ebre and the Albufera de València
2018
The following pages summarize the analysis of agrarian and environmental discourses and social representations in the Ebro Delta and the Albufera of Valencia. The first part of the article tries to synthesize in a theoretical way the evolution and perspectives of family agriculture. We intend to analyze the essential changes that have taken place in agriculture and have made it survive, despite the theoretical prognosis that announced the end of the familiar agriculture. The second part addresses the methodological question of our research. We have conducted 58 interviews and two discussion groups in which different social profiles have participated. The analysis of social discourses was co…
Hermeneutics of Transcendence. Understanding and Communication at the Limits of Experience
2013
When access to shared realities is denied or blocked as in extreme situations that transcend everyday experience, a phenomenological-hermeneutic problem arises between the solitary Ego and its socially constituted meaning. With no action space to prove one’s own reality there lacks a counter-space to transcend the ambiguously irreal reality in order to perspectivize, to understand and reflect on it. Hermeneutics of transcendence analyse the experience of borders and limitations – not starting with an interrogation of constitutive grounds of shared social meaning but with structures to regain meaning in the socio-pathological structures of life excluding a Self from horizons of shared meanin…
Translating the Memory of the Holocaust: Thomas Geve’s Memoir
2020
espanolThis paper explores the most significant challenges of translating the memory of the Holocaust, focusing on the difficulties of transferring a survivor’s testimonial account to a different linguistic and cultural system. Because the concentration camp experience is inherently multicultural, and survivors have chosen to pen their ordeal in several languages, translation epitomizes a discipline that intertwines directly with the construction of universal collective memory. Consequently, translating Holocaust memoirs poses challenging questions on hermeneutics and deontology. Throughout the following pages, I will critically analyze my own Spanish rendition of Thomas Geve’s memoir, Guns…

Realismo noérgico y tragedia intelectual de Zubiri
2018
Se presenta una lectura crítica de Zubiri, imprescindible para comprender la actualidad de su pensamiento, porque pone a prueba sus potenciales aportaciones y propone correcciones y prolongaciones creativas en el horizonte contemporáneo de la filosofía, en relación con la fenomenología, la hermenéutica, las neurociencias y el emergentismo. El libro se centra principalmente en la evolución de la filosofía de Zubiri, su metafísica, noología, antropología y la relación entre ciencia y filosofía, pero también en sus graves crisis. Y cabe contextualizarlo relacionándolo con las propuestas actuales de un nuevo realismo, que están ligadas a nuevas formas tanto de ontología como de hermenéutica.
Cognitive Semiotics and On-Line Reading of Religious Texts: A Hermeneutic Model of Sacred Literature and Everyday Revelation
2005
In this essay a hermeneutic model of the higher level understanding during on-line ritual reading by devotees of their respective sacred literatures is proposed, using the instruments provided by cognitive sciences. The way a devotee reads a sacred text differs from the way he or she would read a common piece of literature or how a lay person might read the same sacred text. After providing an overview of metaphor, anthropomorphism, and the “religious brain”, it is suggested how devotee-readers might make sense of a religious text and why it should be so important for their own personal everyday life. Universals are implicated in this genre of literature and the way it is interpreted.
Czy teologia komparatywna zastąpi teologię religii?
2016
Wśród dyscyplin religiologicznych szczególne miejsce zajmuje teologia komparatywna (copmarative theology). Niektórzy jej przedstawiciele wysuwają dość radykalną tezę, iż winna ona zająć miejsce teologii religii. Pytanie o słuszność tej tezy stanowi główną problematykę niniejszego opracowania. Artykuł składa się z czterech części. Po przedstawieniu istotnych założeń teologii religii i teologii komparatywnej przeanalizowane zostaną aktualne relacje między obydwiema dyscyplinami. W części ostatniej rozpatrzona zostanie możliwość współpracy między teologią komparatywną a teologią religii. Autor opowiada się za modelem twórczej kooperacji obydwu dyscyplin. Efektem tego mogłaby być komparatywna t…
Typical and Individual Doctoral Processes and Lifecourses: The Types of Narratives of the Project Manager, the Survivor and the Seeker
2015
One task of the doctoral education is, globally as well as nationally, to produce and renew the highest expertise and knowledge in a high quality and efficient way. Even though in this global time the high-quality knowledge and skills are a competition factor which the success of the societies is expected to be able to lean on, also the doctoral students and their individual factors are significant. The accelerating global change is strongly reflected at the individual level: an attempt is made to respond to the changing expectations and to prepare individually and diversely. The individual doctoral students and the graduating doctors come from different everyday lives and contexts. The gra…
