Un/doing calculation: on knowledge practices of risk management

2011

From small enterprises all the way up to financial markets, economic calculation is an activity routinely conducted in economic life-worlds. This paper argues that calculation is situated in the practice of participants involved in these life-worlds as well as in the technological tools they use. It champions a sociological analysis of the world-constituting character of calculation. As empirical examples the paper discusses risk management strategies, the embeddedness of calculation practices in banking infrastructure, and the process of internal rating procedures. Contesting the idea of the omnipresence of calculation, the paper analyzes the social phenomenon of the neutralization of calc…

LA TECNICA Y LA CRISIS FILOSOFICA DEL HUMANISMO

2008

Los acontecimientos civilizatorios que emblemáticamente representamos con nombres como Auschwitz o Hiroshima han hecho visible que la comprensión de la realidad como técnicamente abordable obliga a replantear problemas centrales para la filosofía: la omnipresencia de la técnica transforma el modo de vida de los individuos y las sociedades contemporáneas, el vínculo del hombre con la naturaleza y el vinculo social, no menos que los modos de construcción de la subjetividad humana. El presente escrito intenta oponer a la destrucción heideggeriana del sujeto la idea de que, en la presente crisis abierta por las posibilidades inéditas de las tecnologías, es imprescindible una reconstrucción del …

Religió i religiositat en el Tirant lo Blanc

2019

Resum: El treball posa en relleu dues maneres de desenvolupar els aspectes religiosos en el Tirant lo Blanc. Una manera que encaixa amb dificultat amb la doctrina de l’Església, però que sembla ajustar-s’hi quan la pràctica de la cavalleria pren forma de croada, mentre s’exposa una vivència formal, externa i rutinària del cristianisme, malgrat la seva omnipresència; i una altra en què hom procura respectar els articles de la fe i reconduir les conductes dels personatges a una experiència de la fe menys acomodatícia, i més preocupada per les exigències doctrinals.Paraules clau: Religió, Martorell, Tirant, croada, cavalleria, erotisme, humor, psalms, litúrgia.Abstract: This paper highlights t…

A review of Devenir Soi by Jacques Attali: through the lenses of liberalism and Buddhism

2015

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to reinterpret Attali’s worldview through the lenses of liberalism and Buddhism by mobilizing the relevant literature, beyond the mere book review. This paper is an essay based on the book “Devenir Soi” by Jacques Attali, published in France in 2014. These analytical grids were chosen, because freedom and self-realization are two themes that pervade the book. Design/methodology/approach – After presenting the book structure, the objective and the methodological approach, we uncover Attali’s interrogation, namely how to free oneself from the omnipresence of evil, the withering away of the State and growing xenophobic populist self-entitlement. We make …
