The Strawson´s Basic Argument is the stronger against moral responsibility in Philosophy of action. One should be responsible of his identity to be moral responsible of his actions, but then nobody could be never responsible. In this article I criticize orthodox solutions to Strawson´s sceptical challenge and show how they share with the Argument the same theological notion of monadical agent. A new solution needs a new conception of agent..

“Never Some Easy Flashback”

2012

Abstract This paper provides a close reading of Paul Farley’s 160-line poem, “Thorns.” The poem is read in dialogue with William Wordsworth’s celebrated Romantic ballad “The Thorn.” Special attention is given to Farley’s treatment of memory and metaphor: It is shown how the first, exploratory part of the poem elaborates upon the interdependent nature of memory and metaphor, while the second part uses a more regulated form of imagery in its evocation of a generational memory linked to a particular place and time (the working-class Liverpool of the 1960s and 1970s). The tension between the two parts of the poem is reflected in the taut relationship between the poet and a confrontational alter…

Framing the Press and the Publicity Process

2003

This study examines meta-coverage in Campaign 2000, defined as (a) coverage of the behaviors, products, and performance of the news media and (b) coverage of candidates’ use of paid media, communication personnel, and other forms of strategic communication. Using a new model of press framing, a content analysis was conducted on 284 stories aired from September 4 to November 6 on ABC and NBC evening news programs. Results show that 55 stories contained enough press designators and 75 stories contained enough publicity designators to qualify for framing analysis. A small percentage (12%) contained overlapping press and publicity designators, resulting in 116 stories that qualified for framin…

Spaces of Identity: Gender, Ethnicity, and Race in Salome of the Tenements (1923) and Quicksand (1928)

2018

Abstract The 1920s marked a fervent time for artistic and literary expression in the United States. Besides the famous authors of the decade, including F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and William Faulkner, Anzia Yezierska and Nella Larsen, among other female writers, also managed to carve “a literary space” for their stories. Yezierska and Larsen depicted the struggles and tribulations of minority women during the fermenting 1920s, with a view to illustrating the impact of ethnicity and race on the individual female identity. Yezierska, a Jewish-American immigrant, and Larsen, a biracial American woman, share an interest in capturing the nuances of belonging to a particular community…

The critic’s vice:Theory, criticism and polemics according to Alberto Cardín

2020

De cara a una transición democrática caracterizada por la dual e interdependiente normalización de los campos político y cultural, Alberto Cardín emerge como una figura incómoda, marginal y a día de hoy relativamente olvidada. Revisitar sus intervenciones polémicas en publicaciones como Revista de Literatura y Diwan habilita una aproximación integral a sus apuestas intelectuales, capaz de hallar discusiones aún actuales y productivas al momento de leer la transición a contrapelo. Pionero introductor del psicoanálisis lacaniano en España, el diálogo entablado entre Cardín y el argentino Oscar Masotta delinea una perspectiva distintivamente teórica con que interrogar qué sujeto intelectual ad…

Tea Rooms. Mujeres obreras: Una novela de avanzada de Luisa Carnés

2019

Tea Rooms. Mujeres obreras (1934) es una novela escrita por una mujer de origen obrero que quiere ser lectura para las mujeres trabajadoras. En ella Luisa Carnés, escritora largo tiempo postergada, tal vez por su condición de mujer y el compromiso militante de su producción literaria, retrata de soslayo la sociedad de la II República, pero sobre todo representa y problematiza la doble explotación de las mujeres, jugando con repeticiones, metáforas, imágenes e innovaciones estéticas, en un tono vanguardista, pero desde un lenguaje directo y claro de denuncia. Nos proponemos estudiar la función de los mecanismos literarios y la poética de esta novela, en la que la sencillez y los elementos va…
