Utopianism in the Age of Capitalocene
2021
This article explores the social and political imagination of ‘the Anthropocene’ and the utopian counter images that can be derived from it. From the utopian studies perspective, I argue that the Anthropocene cannot provide sufficient societal alternatives for the current ecological predicament. This is due to the fact that the concept of Anthropocene relies too heavily on the image of abstract humanity to be able to offer real societal alternatives. It cannot name the social system we live in and, therefore, it cannot fundamentally challenge existing social arrangements. Based on utopian social theory, I conceptualize utopia as a counter image of the present motivated by a desire for bette…
Good Conscience, False Consciousness, Judging Reason
1972
In all scientific or popular reflections on the theory of practical conduct, during the 20th century, almost no mention is made of a ‘good conscience’: people simply have it1, that means, they are assured of themselves, because they believe themselves to possess the ‘true consciousness’, whereas possible adversaries are flatly accused of manifesting a ‘false consciousness’2. The seeming evidence of this opinion as well as the pious adoption of the conditions and consequences implied in it make the relation of ‘good conscience’ and ‘false consciousness’ an eminent theme of a philosophy striving at unequivocal enlightenment of disguised phenomena through fundamental inquiry. Such a philosophy…
Mitos del amor romántico y autoestima en adolescentes
2019
Los mitos del amor romántico son creencias irracionales socialmente construidas sobre la naturaleza del amor, las cuales estipulan qué es el “amor verdadero”, cuáles son las características deseables al seleccionar pareja, la importancia del amor, las expectativas de futuro y el tipo de relación. La presencia de estas creencias románticas favorece o mantiene la violencia de género en la pareja y las relaciones basadas en el control, las cuales se relacionan con una menor autoestima. El objetivo de este estudio es registrar la interiorización de los mitos del amor romántico en un grupo de adolescentes y analizar su relación con la autoestima. Para la consecución de dicho objetivo, una muestr…
LGTBIQfobia audiovisual: La ocultación de colectivos sexualmente diversos en Disney
2021
La LGTBIQfobia supone una barrera para la normalización de colectivos sexualmente diversos. Productos como los audiovisuales Disney dificultan esta tarea ya que la compañía tiende a ocultarlas. De esta manera se frena el desarrollo de una ciudadanía más tolerante y respetuosa con la diferencia desde las primeras edades. En la educación hay una preocupación latente por erradicar el bullying LGTBIQfóbico. Por ello, a través de un posicionamiento queer y de una metodología mixta se analiza la colección “Los clásicos” Disney para manifestar los ataques hacia dicho colectivo y concienciar a quienes la utilizan como recurso en sus aulas con los grupos de menores. También para visibilizar los ejem…
Automatic auditory intelligence: an expression of the sensory-cognitive core of cognitive processes.
2010
Abstract In this article, we present a new view on the nature of cognitive processes suggesting that there is a common core, viz., automatic sensory–cognitive processes that form the basis for higher-order cognitive processes. It has been shown that automatic sensory–cognitive processes are shared by humans and various other species and occur at different developmental stages and even in different states of consciousness. This evidence, based on the automatic electrophysiological change-detection response mismatch negativity (MMN), its magnetoencephalographic equivalent MMNm, and behavioral data, indicates that in audition surprisingly complex processes occur automatically and mainly in the…
From ‘Awkward Partner’ to ‘Awkward Partnership’? Explaining Norway’s Paradoxical Relations with the European Union
2017
Norway is the only Nordic state to have rejected membership of the European Union four times. Applying the conceptual lens of ‘awkwardness’, as developed by Murray et al. (2014), it seems fair to consider the country as an awkward partner in the process of European integration. As a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), however, Norway has been tightly associated with the European Union ever since 1994, actively participating in a large number of EU policies and programs and effectively forging a close partnership that has in itself become increasingly ‘awkward’. This holds true despite the fact that successive Norwegian governments have recently started to embrace a generally more re…

El animal y el hombre. Derrida lector de Heidegger
2020
La cuestión del límite y la diferencia entre el hombre y el animal se ha convertido en una cuestión filosófica de especial relevancia. Baste reparar en sus implicaciones políticas, sociales, económicas, etc. Por primera vez el hombre puede dirigir su proceso evolutivo. Desde ese contexto, se analizan y discuten los argumentos heideggerianos sobre el tema, tomando como hilo conductor su lectura derridiana. En ella se pone de manifiesto la contradicción entre la necesidad temática y operatoria de un límite (entre el animal y el Dasein en relación a la muerte) y la imposibilidad de fundamentarlo.
European Union Crisis: An Introduction
2020
What is the impact of crisis on European Union (EU) integration? This chapter unpacks the concept of crisis and ways to conceptualize it. We outline three conceptual scenarios on the EU’s putative response to crisis and subsequently apply them in all chapters of the volume. The chapter sums up the key findings from different parts of the Handbook on the impact of crisis on EU policies and institutions, as well as the applicability of existing theories. The volume finds overall that the EU has been surprisingly resilient in the face of crises due to its ability to adapt and absorb, and if necessary, change, in response to crisis. The chapter also discusses the EU’s responses to democratic ch…
Relation of Cute/Kawaii Aesthetics and Beauty in Street Art Production
2012
As an independent visual expression, street art won its position in urban culture at the beginning of the 1990s. Different techniques used to present ideas, such as spraying, stencilling, putting up stickers or paste-ups, doing site specific interventions and so on, allowed artists to develop them more carefully and with a particular sense of the public space. Since 2008 and Lewisohn’s study Street Art; The Graffiti Revolution, street art has been the subject of academic research on many occasions. However, the issue of cute/kawaii features in street art has not yet been the subject of extensive research. This paper attempts to find out in what kind of relation within street art discourse w…
