Abjection and alterity in the imagining of transgender in physical education and sport: a pedagogical approach in higher education
2014
In physical education (PE) and sports there is little theoretical and empirical knowledge about transgender people, and particularly, on how they are and can be imagined within this context. In this paper, we present and analyze a pedagogical activity based on the reading and discussion of a fictional representation of a transgender person within a group of undergraduate students of Sport Sciences. Our theoretical frame situates abjection and alterity as opposing concepts on a continuum. Results show several ways in which a transgender person is imagined by students, as well as constraints and possibilities for the pedagogical proposal to promote moral imagining of transgender. Students sit…
"And then they found her body" : T. S. Eliot's corporeal Cocktail party
2003
Interdisciplinarité et interculturalité à partir de deux romans : Les Nuits de Strasbourg d’Assia Djebar et Le Village de l’Allemand ou le journal de…
2021
My presentation focuses on interdisciplinarity and interculturality on the basis of two novels, "Les Nuits de Strasbourg" by Assia Djebar and "Le Village de l'Allemand ou le journal des frères Schiller" by Boualem Sansal. Firstly, I reflect in a general way on interdisciplinarity and its affinity with interculturality before addressing these issues in my corpus and in my work. Secondly, I look at some theories, interdisciplinary and sometimes intercultural, that help me to study my corpus in a harmonious way, which I illustrate with concrete analyses referring to the thought of Édouard Glissant. Finally, I propose interdisciplinary developments of an intercultural approach, that of Michael …
Il transfert di Curial
2018
Resum: I risvolti sovranazionali riscontrati nei tre protagonisti dei romanzi del Quattrocento catalano (Jacob Xalabín, Curial e Tirant) consentono di procedere a un’analisi del Curial e Güelfa che ne sottolinea l’identità multipla e l’apertura culturale del processo di formazione del protagonista, nella sua ascesa economica e sociale. L’evoluzione del protagonista, grazie a un meccanismo psicologico, oggi riconosciuto come tale, consente il lieto fine del romanzo, diversamente da quanto avviene negli altri due, dove i protagonisti, Jacob e Tirant, rimangono sempre gli stessi. Grazie allo spostamento, al transfert, Curial non rimuove quello che lo minaccia, ma riesce a superarlo, se riguard…
Una Poètica Dialògica: Atlas de Pere Salinas i Joan Navarro
2012
Pere Salinas and Joan Navarro initiated with Atlas (Correspondencia 2005-2007) a dialogue between painting and poetry. The book starts with a painting by Pere Salinas, which provokes a poem by Joan Navarro, which in turn provokes a painting. It continues this way until getting to 46 images and 46 poems. The concept of dialogism allows analyzing how alterity, the orientation towards a nonverbal answer, determines poetical writing. The poet, in his dialogue with each pictorial text, searches for new ways of expression that privilege the showing, from deictics to images, and this search leads to an experimentation that alters the entire poetical system. Time and space are not opposed. Painting…
The Undesired Other
2019
Over the recent years, the theme of abortion has set in the agenda of many countries. Although the abortion law was already present in France, the US and the UK, in some other countries the law was recently sanctioned just after the 2000s. This chapter deals with the problem of hospitality in the days of terrorism. From different angles, this chapter explores the question of abortion and the ideas of hospitality and multiculturalism, points that modern terrorism has instilled as necessary debates. We hold the thesis that the modern self has serious problems to understand the alterity when it confronts the own desires. The right of legal abortion should be framed as a decline of hospitality,…
Interrogating on the Essence of the Zombie World
2019
The chapter discusses critically the ontology of zombie world, as well as its interlink with the Thana-capitalism, as a new stage of capitalism where the Other’s death is gazed, consumed and preferred. The paradigm of the zombie world is debated in this chapter. In this respect, the culture of zombies situates in a futurist—apocalyptic—world, where technology and modern science have contributed to the end of mankind. The survivors not only struggle against zombies in a hostile world but also redeem the human nature according to two contrasting forces, the needs of survival which led to extreme individualism and the needs of re-foundation. The figure of the zombie represents the pauperized o…
Altérités dans l'expatriation lointaine : dialogisme des imaginaires collectifs et des discours individuels
2015
In a postcolonial context, this research looks into the itineraries of French expatriates, from a former colonial empire, in Malaysia, a former British colony. The autobiographical discourses of the French expatriates, blogs, research writings and research interviews, are analyzed in terms of the articulation between individual experiences and collective representations, interrogating how experiencing alterity, as well as writing or speaking about it, participates in the construction of identities. The discourse analysis is dialogical and takes in consideration a larger field of discourses: the centuries‐long orientalist discourse as theorized by Bill Ashcroft, Tzvetan Todorov or Edward Sai…
An Unsolved Question. Husserl’s Path toward Genetic Intersubjectivity
2019
The problem of intersubjectivity has an ambiguous fate within phenomenology, since it is the object of a contradictory attitude: on the one hand, the question of intersubjectivity seems just to be an application of phenomenological theories and methods to a particular matter of fact. On the other hand, the issues related to intersubjectivity are loaded with high expectations due to their manifest practical, existential and personal meaning. This is what inspired the French tradition (J. P. Sartre, M. Merleau-Ponty, E. Levinas and today J.- L. Marion and J.-L. Nancy) to draw substantial existential consequences from the Husserlian epistemological analysis. In this paper I try to reconstruct …
Contra l'alteritat. L'erosió de la dicotomia jo/altre a «La pell de la frontera» (2016), de Francesc Serés
2018
En aquest article em propòs reflexionar sobre la recerca de mecanismes de representació literària de la diferència cultural i econòmica que es proposen erosionar la separació que justifica la dicotomia jo/altre. Ho faré a partir de l'estudi d'un cas concret: el volum La pell de la frontera (2014) de Francesc Serés. Aquest llibre contribuí a difondre la situació desesperada de molts migrants, així com també a denunciar la desatenció institucional davant d'uns canvis socials, econòmics i demogràfics que han modificat d'arrel la composició de molts pobles del Baix Cinca i del Segrià. En la meva lectura partiré de la hipòtesi que la representació dels objectes emprats i dels escenaris ruïnosos …
