Demokratie und Gemeinschaft. Oder: wie kontrovers ist die Kommunitarismusdebatte?

1996

"Unter dem Etikett der 'Kommunitarismusdebatte' wird seit einigen Jahren der Umgang mit Differenz und die Integration unterschiedlicher Bevölkerungsgruppen in ein demokratisches politisches System kontrovers diskutiert. Der Streit zwischen 'Kommunitaristen' und 'Liberalen' entzündet sich üaber die Grundlagen der modernen Demokratie. Vereinfacht gründet sich für die Kommunitaristen Demokratie zuerst auf Gemeinschaft und für die Liberalen zuerst auf Gerechtigkeit. Die Kommunitarismusdebatte blieb trotz einer großen Zahl von Beiträgen auf die Analyse moderner westlicher Demokratien beschränkt und sie weist zudem ein 'soziologisches Defizit' auf. Auf diese Lücken zielt meine Fragestellung. Wie …

Prevention of occupational injuries moral hazard and complex agency relationship

2001

This paper exploits the results of agency theory with the aim of contributing a new viewpoint and a form for analysis of the current functioning of the occupational injury and disease section of the Social Security system in its mission of providing incentives for prevention. After outlining the organization and specific features of insurance against occupational risks, an initial level of analysis highlights the presence of moral hazard in relations between insurer and company and between company and employee. A second level of analysis and resort to complex agency relationship models, multitask model and third-party model, is necessary to take into account the consequences for occupationa…

Serializing Age

2015

Serialized storytelling provides intriguing opportunities for critical representations of age and aging. In contrast to the finite character of films, television narratives can unfold across hundreds of episodes and multiple seasons. Contemporary viewing practices and new media technologies have resulted in complex television narratives, in which experimental temporalities and revisions of narrative linearity and chronological time have become key features. As the first of its kind, this volume investigates how TV series as a powerful cultural medium shape representations of age and aging, such as in »Orange Is The New Black«, »The Wire« or »Desperate Housewives«, to understand what it mean…

Viaje y memoria en La piel del cielo

2016

En la novela La piel del cielo (2001), Elena Poniatowska forja la imagen singular de la memoria del desarrollo de la astronomia y de la astrofisica en nuestro pais, enlazada a otra memoria: la del conocimiento ancestral y empirico presente en vastas regiones de Mexico y que, via la oralidad y el juego, son transmitidos por una madre cuyo unico anhelo es que sus hijos aprendan. Asimismo, son recreados algunos de los diversos sentidos que adquiere el viaje, entre ellos: el del transito hacia el conocimiento cientifico y el del encuentro con uno mismo; porque ?que otro sentido puede tener ir al encuentro de una estrella que no sea el de ir al encuentro de nosotros mismos? In her novel La piel …

Schopenhauer y Gracián: Arte de prudencia y sabiduría mundana

2013

El propósito de este trabajo es explicar algunos aspectos de la relación entre Arthur Schopenhauer y Baltasar Gracián. En primer lugar, muestro el desarrollo de la sabiduría mundana en la obra de Schopenhauer y el vínculo con el Oráculo manual y arte de prudencia de Gracián, traducido por Schopenhauer al alemán. En segundo lugar, intento hacer un balance de este vínculo teniendo en cuenta cuatro aspectos: a) la sindéresis y el arte de prudencia, b) la autarquía del individuo, c) la crítica a Maquiavelo y d) la cuestión ontológica. Por último, concluyo con algunas reflexiones sobre el moralismo moderno y su importancia para la filosofía sistemática de Schopenhauer.

Les institutions italiennes à travers les analyses de Luigi Sturzo (1871-1959)

2013

From the 1950s Luigi Sturzo captured the dysfunctions of the democratic system instituted in Italy. He courageously denounced the evils that afflicted the newborn democracy. The strange relationship between government and opposition, the growing importance of the parties, the proliferation of legislation, the reversal of functions between parliament and government, the reform of the Senate, are just some of the problems identified by Sturzo. His criticism, however, was not pointless but proactive in the meaning that he diagnosed in weaknesses and indicated the means for a better and more efficient working of institutions in a democratic country without making it necessary to undermine the c…

Tempo lembrado, lido e experienciado no texto virtual

2015

In this article I will scrutinize Screen (2002, by WARDRIP-FRUIN & al.), a literary work set and experienced in a CAVE Virtual Reality environment, especially from the perspective of its temporal aspects. There are obvious themes of remembering, forgetting and textually constructing the past in this work, but most notably, Screen emphasizes the temporality of the reading act itself. I will analyze this highly special work in relation to the remembered, read, and bodily experienced time, and thus, attempt to better understand both the notion of fictive time and the temporality of fiction. Neste artigo vou examinar Screen (2002, por Wardrip-Fruin & al.), uma obra literária experimenta…

Sexualidad, reproducción y cultura obrera revolucionaria en España: la revista <em>Orto</em> (1932-1934)

2014

Orto. Revista de Documentacion Social, published in Valencia from 1932 to 1934, is a good example of cultural magazines in the Spanish labour movement, particularly in the world of anarcho-syndicalism. Marin Civera, its editor, sought to make Orto (which had a large and diverse range of contributors) a forum for convergence between the different working-class ideologies, united by the ideas of “Syndicalism”. In keeping with its aim to be “social documentation for the proletariat “, the journal took a strong interest in the spread of theory and practice, and debates on, sexual reform, linking these efforts to the international movement for that cause. In addition to the struggle for a new se…

Defending the Nordic model: Understanding the moral universe of the Norwegian working class

2021

In recent years, much attention has been paid to the white working class’ concern with their declining position in the neoliberal era. The hypothesis that social and economic insecurity provoke anger and xenophobia are unable to account for the Norwegian case. The Nordic model still acts as a buffer against neoliberal capitalism, making the white Norwegian working class less vulnerable than in comparable countries. This paper will argue that the Norwegian working class has defended the Nordic model by utilising a range of moral values. I use 56 qualitative interviews to examine the morality of the white Norwegian working class. The study is theoretically and methodologically inspired by Bol…
