La fiesta mutante. La construcción histórica de la Feria de Julio de Valencia
2014
[EN] In the present article it is tried to show as the holidays they are social historical constructions, which mutations are inseparable both of the diverse political contexts and of the institutional action. This one is the case of Julio's Fair of Valencia, founded in in 1871 under the requiriments of bourgeois taste. In our work we show, resting on historical documentation of press and file, the diverse stages of the evolution of the Fair, insisting in since there is modified his cultural institutional management. So if at firdt period of euphoria and ascent, the Feria de Valencia managed to become one of the most important festive events in Valencia, taking on a distinctly popular carac…

Disidentity: New Forms of Identity and Psychopathology. Socio-Anthropological Changes and Development of the Self
2014
The passage from modernity to post-modernity deeply upset the group dimension, and, consequently, personal identity itself. Transformations involving the entire planet, socio-anthropological changes our society had to cope with are producing a change in the dynamics of identity formation and the appearance of new psychopathological figures. The loss of cohesion of the sense of belonging and the weak internalization process of the elements which form the individual identity (cultural, linguistic, religious traditions…) draw an essentially uncertain and temporary existence. Drawing on some themes of subjectual group analysis theory of personality, the article proposes the concept of dis-ident…
Mega Events and Urban Conflicts in Valencia, Spain: Contesting the New Urban Modernity
2011
The local and regional administrations of Valencia, Spain, have been working to position the city, which is the country's third largest in terms of population, as an international destination for luxury tourism through sports mega-events. Valencia's new image as a “mega-events city” has been criticized by citizens and urban-based movements on social and environmental grounds, resulting in various urban conflicts. The aim of this paper is to examine the causes and dynamics of these conflicts in order to understand the discourse and rationales behind the criticism. This will also include an examination of the ways in which these conflicts were managed by the local administration, especially i…
Nowa polityka. Wprowadzenie do ewolucyjności
2017
This article introduces a vision of the new politics that emerges from my recent book Tractatus Politico‑Philosophicus. The Tractatus discusses a number of topics. To name just a few, these are: politics, human nature, the state, freedom, solidarity, democracy, civilization, family and marriage, power, international relations, war and peace. Also, it introduces new words, such as sophocracy, ennobled democracy; nativeculturalism (an alternative to multiculturalism); or parentsexuality, a privileged form of sexuality. It addresses many issues that concern today’s political thinkers. The main objective of my work is to demonstrate the necessity of, and provide a guide for, the redirection of …
Ilustración, catolicismo y género. Feijoo en el debate historiográfico
2023
Este artículo revisa el resurgimiento de la noción de la «Ilustración católica» a partir de la década de 2010, el debate historiográfico que ha generado y el lugar que el ilustrado español Benito Jerónimo Feijoo (1676-1764) ocupa en él, en el marco de las controversias a propósito de las relaciones entre género, catolicismo e Ilustración (y más ampliamente, modernidad). Para ello se analizan los argumentos, las osadías y los límites de su discurso «Defensa de las mujeres» y, más ampliamente, a la actitud hacia las mujeres que se desprende del conjunto de su obra y su vida. Asimismo, se estudian algunas de las formas en que su ensayo fue apropiado con posterioridad en España y en otros terri…
Emancipazione pubblica e oppressione privata. Tratteggi di una gender violence tardo moderna nell'incrociarsi di paradigmi atlantici e mediterranei
2016
The paper intends to focus on the unfinished character of a slow-modernity where women are still in the balance between legitimacy frame concerning their emancipation in the public sphere, and representation frame of traditional roles of spouse and mother in private life; between postmodern values, accepted rationally, and premodern values, internalized emotionally. It often happens so that even the most educated women of the middle and upper class accept and legitimize in the private sphere the symbolic and indirect violence, and sometimes the physical violence by their partners in an effort to reconcile public post-modern expectations and private pre-modern expectations. As the «Acrobat o…
Disegno, progetto e anima dei luoghi
2019
Il libro "Quadri per Milano - prove di architettura" (LetteraVentidue, 2017) raccoglie nove progetti su Milano di Angelo Torricelli, elaborati tra il 1991 e il 2017 e ordinati secondo la loro posizione all'interno della città e le soluzioni adottate. Il volume, concepito come il catalogo della mostra organizzata presso il Dipartimento di Architettura di Palermo, ha assunto il carattere di una riflessione con diverse voci sulle relazioni tra rappresentazione / progetto / luogo. I testi intenzionalmente scarsi (dell'autore), che accompagnano i progetti, indicano esclusivamente i motivi e gli obiettivi delle proposte. I tre saggi iniziali e quello conclusivo, d'altra parte, propongono un parti…
Heroism as legitimation of Enlightenment values: Production strategies, changes and disagreements
2020
espanolEn tiempos de inseguridad politica, literatos y gobernantes apoyaron toda una serie de argumentos orientados a construir heroes civilizadores y sacrificados en beneficio de la patria, la sociedad y el «bien comun». Este articulo analiza las variadas estrategias y formas, siempre en constante proceso de definicion, con los que este heroismo ilustrado prolifero en la segunda mitad del siglo. Despues de pasar revista a las coordenadas historicas y a los debates en los que se desenvuelve la fabricacion de nuevos heroes, sin dejar de lado otro tipo de heroismo —heredado de la cultura humanista— me detendre especificamente en los conquistadores de America, sometidos a la critica de los int…
Heroism as legitimation of Enlightenment values: Production strategies, changes and disagreements
2020
During the eighteenth century's periods of political insecurity, writers and rulers supported a whole series of arguments aimed at constructing civilizing heroes who are sacrificed for the benefit of the country, society and the «common good.» This article analyses the different strategies and forms through which an enlightened heroism proliferated in the second half of the century and that were in a constant process of being defined. After reviewing the historical coordinates and the debates within which the creation of new heroes unfolded, and without neglecting another type of heroism—that inherited from humanist culture—I will specifically focus on the conquistadores of the Americas, wh…
