Metamorphoses of Shamed Bodies : Sexual Violence in Euripides’s Helen
2021
In this paper I explore the connections between shame and embodiment in Euripides’s play Helen. The paper focuses on the play’s underlying theme of sexual violence and rape, and on the descriptions of metamorphoses that the mythological female victims often undergo in the face of rape. In my analysis on shame and embodiment I apply two insights from Giorgio Agamben’s analysis of the phenomenon of victim shame in The Remnants of Auschwitz. These are, first, the definition according to which shame is “to be consigned to what cannot be assumed”—that is, to be consigned to one’s self, being and physical body—and second, the claim that in shame one is affected by one’s own (bodily) passivity. Bu…

Presence-inducing media for mental health applications
2015
Presence inducing media have recently emerged as a potentially effective way to provide general and specialty mental health services, and they appear poised to enter mainstream clinical delivery.

Gadamer y el problema hermenéutico de la interpretación psicoanalítica
2020
Existe una posición privilegiada para analizar la relación posible entre la filosofía y el psicoanálisis, y esta es a través de la hermenéutica. No solo Ricoeur, multitud de autores, a uno y otro lado de la disputa, han expresado sus posturas acerca de qué comparten y qué distinguen al psicoanálisis y a la hermenéutica filosófica, que quiere servir de vehículo para comprender la esencia interpretante del ser humano. Debido a ello, autores como Heidegger y Gadamer se han visto llamados a expresar sus posiciones acerca del saber del inconsciente, para evaluar el modo de poner en contacto la esencia del psicoanálisis como talking cure y la referencia interna de la filosofía como diálogo. Con t…

Negative Platonism and Maximal Existence in the Thought of Jan Patocka
2010
According to Jan Patocka’s “negative Platonism,” ordinary, or “positive” Platonism makes a fundamental mistake in formulating Plato’s true “discovery,” i.e., the Idea, as a non-objective determination of objectivity, in terms of an ideal object that sensible objects are supposed to imitate. Does this mean that Plato himself misunderstood the epimeleia tēs psychēs and human self-knowledge (exetasis)? Analogously, Patocka states that “classical phenomenology fell victim to its own discoveries and their imprecise formulation.” Is this due to the transcendental subjectivism of Husserlian thought or, rather, to the fact that Husserl could theorize only the modes of givenness of an object? These …
