Atkārtojums Semjuela Beketa dramaturģiskajā darbā “Luga”
2016
Semjuela Beketa dramatiskais darbs “Luga” ir gan netradicionāls, gan unikāls. Luga uzrakstīta 1963.gadā un atšķiras no citiem darbiem ar bezemocionāliem un neizteiksmīgiem personāžiem. Uz skatuves atrodas trīs personāži, kuri nespēj ne kustēties, ne runāt izteiksmīgi, ne paust emocijas, ne izmantot mīmiku. Lai izprastu šo lugu, jāizpēta tas, kas jau dots – mākslinieciskie izteiksmes līdzekļi. Atkārtojums ir viens no visvairāk izmantotajiem līdzekļiem un katrs personāžs to izmanto citādāk, lai panāktu noteiktu efektu uz klausītāju. Katrs atkārtojums var tikt grupēts atšķirīgās kategorijās un katram no tiem ir sava funkcija dramatiskajā darbā. Visbiežāk atkārtojums izmantots, lai pabeigtu dom…
Naturalismo y absurdo
1998
Se trata de discutir algunas de las razones que podamos tener para afirmar: 'Si la visión naturalista del mundo es en general correcta, entonces la vida humana es necesariamente absurda'. Si este condicional me interesa, es porque no puedo dejar de conceder su antecedente, es decir, no puedo dejar de percibir el mundo a través de ciertos supuestos naturalistas. Se sigue, pues, que si la tesis T resultase verdadera, me vería obligado a aceptar una conclusión que desearía evitar, pues en algún grado me inquieta. Parece, por tanto, sensato empezar examinando el tipo de razones que puedan invitarnos a suscribir ese condicional. En un segundo apartado, intentaré mostrar, sin embargo, que …
Matei Visniec: aproximación a un universo dramático a través de sus animales
2014
Matei Visniec (1956) is an author from Romania, who uses both French and Romanian expression in his plays. The coordinates of his dramatic fictional universe bring together the absurd, the symbolic, the fantastic and the conflicts in the city of men, sometimes with accurate historical and current references. Animals, present onstage in many different ways, are very common in his plays. They constitute a strange wildlife between animal and human, between the real and the fantastic.Their presence in this theatrical universe fits into their symbolic aspect, which defies the imagination by means of what is enigmatic and incomprehensible; but it also falls into their committed side to the extent…
Boghossian's Reductio of Compatibilism
1998
Según Boghossian, la compatibilidad entre el externismo respecto del contenido y el autoconocimiento implica el absurdo según el cual es posible conocer a priori verdades substantivas sobre el mundo, como que existe agua. El argumento de Boghossian descansa crucialmente en dos supuestos: en primer lugar, que el carácter composicional o atómico son propiedades internas de los conceptos; en segundo lugar, que el externalismo no puede dar cuenta de conceptos atómicos con extensión vacía. Ambos supuestos se ponen en cuestión en este artículo. Por una parte, el externismo puede concebir plausiblemente el carácter composicional o atómico de los conceptos como dependiente de la naturaleza real de …

Anti-Speciesist Rhetoric
2017
The various laws protecting animals that were established in Nazi Germany (but for the most part were never put into effect) had, among others, the aim of marking the taxonomic and ontological distance between pure animals and impure sub-humans (Jews, homosexuals, the Roma). The attention to and respect for the alpha predator and noble animals was a vertiginous ignoratio elenchi of the concentration camps. With analogous fallacy, today’s anti-human and anti-speciesist eco-fascism, which regularly makes use of the reductio ad Hitlerum (“meat-eaters = Nazis”), avails itself in an irrational and populist way of the rudimentary argumentum ad personam typical of xenophobic and racist propaganda.…
Sophisticated humor against COVID-19 : the Polish case
2021
Abstract The analysis undertaken in the article focuses on a group of memes selected from the database which drew on culture-specific references. Specifically, they embrace the memories of socialist times and call on references to comic films and easily recognized characters in order to bring out the re-discovered absurdity of the current COVID-19 situation. This material seems ideal to revisit Raskin’s early notion of sophistication, which was broadly argued to derive from intertextuality as well complexity of references that function as sources of humor. In all the examples discussed we can observe the intertextual and metatextual elements, multiple levels and shifts in points of view and…
Absurdity in Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises
2019
Abstract The purpose of this essay is to capture and convey, through the use of different works of philosophy that encapsulate thoughts on the same idea, the motif of the absurdity of life in Ernest Hemingway’s first novel The Sun Also Rises. The concept of the absurd will be, first and foremost, examined through absurdist criticism of the novel, using the philosophical thought of Albert Camus, Soren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche and other philosophers who captured the essence of the absurd in their philosophy, all in order to represent this concept in Hemingway’s novel and to show how it truly manifests itself upon some of the most important characters’ psychology and their actions, por…
Latvian Writers’ Strategies of Resistance during De-Stalinisation: The Case of Gunārs Priede
2017
This paper traces developments in the Soviet Latvian literary scene between the late 1950s and early 1970s. The first part examines aspects of social organisation as demonstrated by the daily routines of so-called creative unions characteristic for the overall pattern of the way in which social mechanisms worked under Soviet rule, even if there were constant attempts to overcome the limits set to expression by the communist system. The second part provides a case study of the biography and creative work of Latvian playwright Gunārs Priede 1928–2000, a leading representative of the young generation of authors of that period. The paper not only points towards the parallels in social and aesth…
