Las lenguas del animal. Fábulas de la pobreza y la vida precaria
2021
RESUMEN: Este artículo se propone indagar alrededor de la representación literaria del animal y la imaginación política del presente, en tanto el paradigma de la “vida humana” constituye un límite biopolítico que establece qué vidas merecen tal calificación y qué vidas quedan al margen de ese reconocimiento simbólico y jurídico. A partir de “Yzur” (1096) de Leopoldo Lugones, el artículo muestra cómo funciona esta “máquina antropológica” que en su captura de lo viviente impone una lógica de dominación y explotación. En contrapunto presenta el relato “Como un león” (1967) de Haroldo Conti, el poemario El duelo (2010) de Igor Barreto y el cuento …

Identidad social y discursiva del turista: su construcción a partir de la oferta de valores abstractos
2017
Este artículo examina cómo la página web hotelera mercantiliza valores simbólicos abstractos, y de qué manera ello incide en la construcción discursiva de un actor social 'turista'. Para ello se propone un análisis cualitativo desde el marco del Análisis Crítico del Discurso, concretamente desde la vertiente socio-cultural de Fairclough (2002), que a su vez parte del sistema de transitividad de Halliday (1985). Considerar la mercantilización de los valores abstractos resulta interesante en este contexto, pues se podría pensar que los hoteles ofrecen ante todo valores de tipo concreto y material, y no abstracto. Sin embargo, la representación mental de lo placentero y deseable en el turista,…
The Marginalisation of Finely Tuned Semiotic Practices and Misunderstandings in Relation to (Signed) Languages and Deafness
2014
AbstractWhen people draw on the available modal resources (e.g. gestures) in specific contexts over time, those resources come to display regularities. The more a community uses and regulates those resources, the more fully and finely articulated their regularities and patterns become. Modes, organised by regular means of representation, are constantly transformed by users, depending on what the community needs. This paper discusses the way semiotic resources and practices, i.e. social actions with a history, used by sign language signers in visually oriented communities, as well as the research in such domains, have been marginalised. The paper reflects some of the main reasons for such ma…
Epistemologies of (Un)sustainability in Swedish Crime Series Jordskott
2017
ABSTRACTEnvironmental themes have invaded Nordic TV crime series over the past few years. In this paper, the epistemological starting points of a Swedish series, Jordskott, are examined. The paper argues that the series criticizes the traditional humanist paradigm on which realistic crime narratives are based. It does so through the introduction of fantastic non-human beings with the help of which the boundaries of ‘nature’ and ‘human being’ are set mobile. In the series, subjectivities are rendered volatile and the humanist epistemological paradigm is questioned as a sustainable ground for defining what counts as a subject. Theoretically, the paper draws on posthumanist theory and ecocriti…
MADNESS AND BESTIALIZATION IN EURIPIDES'HERACLES
2013
Against a background of anxious evocation of Dionysiac rites, Euripides'Heraclesstages the extreme degradation of the tragic hero who, as a consequence of the hatred of a divinity, loses his heroic traits and above all his human ones in the exercise of brutal violence. By comparing Heracles in the grip of madness to a furious bull assailing its prey, the tragedian clearly shows the inexorability of the divine will and its arbitrariness, and emphasizes madness itself through images traditionally associated with the bull. However, the reference to monstrosity and animals does not only involve Heracles, but also concerns the representation of Lyssa, the demon of madness sent by Hera to induce …
Om å bære dødens tyngde – Fotografier og visuelle fortellestrategier i Gaute Heivolls roman Himmelarkivet
2012
Author's version of an article in the journal: Edda. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.idunn.no/ts/edda/2012/02/om_aa_baere_doedens_tyngde_-_fotografier_og_visuelle_fortelles Himmelarkivet (2008) by Gaute Heivoll is part of an international trend of fiction concerned with traumatic events from World War II reflecting on the question of how these events should be described and understood. One main narrative device in the work is the use of image-related elements, and the goal of this article is to interpret their significance and effect. On the one hand, the argument is that they work as documents confirming the authenticity of the narrative and, on the other, that these visua…
Reina María Rodríguez: A Poetic of the Limits to Cuba
2013
in this article we intend to approach some of the major controversies that have affected the poetry written in Cuba in recent decades: the reflection on the relationship of poetic language with reality; the writing of the limits, the remains —that what ideology hides—; the crossing of different genres and artistic languages —poetry, fiction, image—, etc. To do this, we analyze two books published by the Cuban poet Reina Maria Rodríguez: Travelling (1995) and Variedades de Galiano (2008). And their relationship to the American “Language Poets”.
Humility: Virgin or Virtue?
2021
Este trabajo considera la iconografía mariana en la que se representa a la Virgen sentada en el suelo, conocida como la Virgen de la Humildad. La creación de este tipo mariano coincide con la sistematización de las virtudes de Santo Tomás, que dio lugar a una disminución en la importancia de la virtud de la humildad. La combinación de ambas tradiciones culturales ha llevado a una correspondencia entre la virtud de la Humildad y las imágenes de la Virgen de la Humildad. La génesis de este último tipo se basa en las fuentes textuales y parte de la representación visual de la Humildad, que fue sustituida durante los siglos XIV y XV. GV/2021/123 This paper considers Marian iconography in which …
Mediated sacralization and the construction of postmodern communio sanctorum: The case of the Swedish foreign minister anna lindh
2005
In the media age, the linkage between mediated communities and images is established by the sacralization of images. Based on the theoretical insights of Michel Maffesoli and on an influential tradition in French sociology, which includes Emile Durkheim, Georges Bataille, and Rene Girard, this article attempts to apply the theory of sacred images to the empirical analysis of images in the media. The analysis of the Swedish and Finnish newspapers' visual coverage of the assassination of Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lindh suggests that the process of sacralization is actually performed as a communicative behavior involving the media and the crowd as the main actors and a number of symbols wh…
