“Another Munich We Just Cannot Afford”: Historical Metonymy In Politics

2016

The appeasement of Hitler and the Munich Agreement is a rhetorical comparison used commonly in international relations to defend politico-military action. On the basis of conceptual history and rhetorics, we examine cases of political speech in this paradigm. Firstly, we discuss time and conceptualize experience into first and second order experiences. Secondly, the roles of metaphor, metonymy and analogy in relation to thought and action are examined. We then contextualise Munich 1938, and present three cases demonstrating the political usage of this metonymy since WWII. These range from the Suez Crises to the Gulf War and on-going War on Terror. These cases show that “Munich” can be used …

Un corpo di donna per fare la guerra. Lettura della Ifigenia in Aulide di Euripide

2009

This paper analyzes Euripides’s Iphigenia in Aulis from a perspective that highlights the relationship between three different levels - the sacred, the political and the private -intersected as they are by the opposition male/female. In the course of the tragedy we assist at the gradual domination of the two spheres of “public” and “political”, while the sphere of “sacred” provides only a ritual frame. On the other hand, from the overall structure of the tragedy it also results that the sphere of “private” relationships and loves is a loser. Iphigenia, who takes upon herself the political and patriotic values of war, peculiar to the male, allows the execution of the sacrificial ritual and h…

La mirada feminista ante el espejo publicitario / The Feminist Gaze before the Advertising Mirror

2020

Tal como han reseñado antropólogos, investigadores y teóricos de distintas disciplinas sociales, para que exista y perdure un sistema de sometimiento y dominio de un sexo (el masculino) sobre el otro (el femenino); no sólo puede basarse en la coerción física, es necesario que exista una desigualdad de género basada en el ámbito de lo simbólico. Vivimos en una sociedad occidental donde prima lo que Bourdieu denomina violencia simbólica, inmersos en un «reglamento de género», según las palabras de Judith Butler, que normaliza determinadas imágenes y discursos que objetualizan y discriminan a los sujetos mujeres; lo que contribuye a perpetuar situaciones de violencia material sobre las ciudada…

Den sakrale og den profane fotballen – om forskjeller i medias dekning av kvinne- og herrefotball på Sørlandet

2021

I denne artikkelen diskuterer vi kjønnede framstillinger i medias dekning av fotball på Sørlandet ved å analysere de to største avisene Fædrelandsvennen og Agderposten sin dekning av fotballagene Amazon Grimstad (kvinnelag) og FK Jerv (herrelag). Det viser seg at dekningen er asymmetrisk på flere områder. Jerv blir framstilt som et lag med gode spillere, vakkert spill, gode resultater og som et sterkt kollektiv av individuelle spillere, mens dekningen av Amazon er blottet for slike karakteristika. I dekningen av kvinnefotballaget er oppmerksomheten rettet mot økonomiske problemer, sponsorbråk og dårlige resultater. Ved å bruke kultur- og kjønnsteoretiske tilnærminger ser vi hvordan medias d…

Sexual and gender repression within the confession: confessors' manuals of the Modern Age (XVI-XVII centuries)

2018

La confesión de los pecados en ámbito católico, especialmente a raíz del Concilio de Trento, constituyó un medio eficaz para disciplinar las conductas individuales y sociales de los fieles. El objetivo primordial que me planteé con este trabajo es el análisis de los discursos eclesiásticos en torno a las mujeres y a las temáticas sexuales a través de la lectura de una tipología de fuentes directamente relacionada con el sacramento de la penitencia: los manuales de confesores. Mí hipótesis es que estas obras de literatura confesional, por su valor didáctico de adoctrinamiento de los sacerdotes, constituyeron un instrumento para endurecer la condición de subordinación de las mujeres a lo larg…
