Leitbilder im Recht: Grenzen der Ordnung – Chancen der Unordnung

2018

„Guiding principles“ as topoi in German juridical discourse are mainly analyzed with regard to their relation to familiar dogmatic and methodological categories. This article suggests engaging with a deconstructing, psychoanalysis-inspired approach to the guiding principles of legal discourse.

Empire and Democracy. A critical reading of Michael Ignatieff

2013

Empires expand their hegemony combined two contrasting forces; one is violence the second is characterized by persuasion. Ideology works in these contexts, as an efficient instrument of self-indoctrination whereby dominated cultures accept the cultural matrix of empire. In this vein, the present essay-review not only questions the employment of human rights in the liberal thought, but also tries to respond to the conceptual problems of liberalism to understand terrorism. Based on two seminal texts written by the liberal Michael Ignatieff, we formulate the thesis that liberalism supports the war against terror because of its doctrine of self-determination.

Educational discourse in Spain during the early Franco regime (1936–1943): toward a genealogy of doctrine and concepts

2015

In this article an analysis is undertaken of Spanish educational discourse during the early years of the Franco regime, from the Civil War (1936–1939) to the establishment of the Nuevo Estado or New State (1939–1943), employing Reinhart Koselleck’s principles of conceptual history. Without totally spurning the totalitarian and fascist ideology of the new regime, this educational discourse constructed an imagined community of Espana Nacional (Nationalist Spain) by means of a historical narrative that began with the uprising led by General Franco in July 1936. The discourse sought to recover the importance of the nation’s traditions so as to promote a conceptual and symbolic imaginary that mi…

What does Ramon Llull mean when he says «[el resclús] se maravellá com podia esser que Deus no exoya la natura humana de Jesucrist, qui pregava per s…

2014

The proto-novel Fèlix, o Llibre de meravelles contains many unsettling «meravelles» or «wonders». One such consists in an observation made by a «recluse» —rather than by a professional theologian— concerning the prayers of Christ and of Mary and the angels, etc., to the effect that their prayers have been unable to call forth any response from God. The efficacy of such prayers is thus brought into question, as is the readiness of God’s mercy and grace. By contextualising such matters within medieval currents of Neoplatonism, particularly the doctrine of causality, I argue that Llull presents a causally conceived theorisation of the hypostatic union. I identify Biblical and medieval preceden…

"Me llaman el desaparecido" : coexistencia y continuidad entre la desaparición forzada y la desaparición social

2020

En este trabajo analizo una de las formas del desborde contemporáneo de la categoría de "desaparición", por la cual ésta pasa a designar formas de invisibilidad, exclusión y violencia muy diferentes a la que definía su marco originario. En particular, me detengo en el trazado de una relación de continuidad entre las formas de la desaparición forzada originaria -ejemplificada en el caso emblemático de la dictadura militar chilena- y las formas de "desaparición social" en las democracias liberales contemporáneas. A partir de la puesta en relación de conceptos políticos como campo, doctrina del shock o excepción, y del análisis de algunos productos culturales, exploramos la posibilidad de habl…

Notes on the Spanish Supreme Court Ruling That Considers Riders to Be Employees

2020

Spain is one of the countries with highest levels of judicialisation of the dispute over the classification of platform working. Dozens of rulings have been issued in recent years. Most have pointed out the labour relation of platform workers in the transport sector, although some have argued that they were truly self-employed. This contradiction in judicial doctrine has allowed / forced the Spanish Supreme Court to rule on the matter. This ruling of 25 September 2020 (rec. 4746/2019) was issued by the plenary session of the Supreme Court on social matters, the decision being adopted unanimously by all the magistrates. The ruling has its origins in the case of a delivery rider who filed an …

A propósito de las fuentes gramaticales francesas en la Gramática general española de J. Gómez Hermosilla (Madrid, 1841)

2011

Resumen En este artículo nuestra finalidad ha sido evaluar, desde el punto de vista de la doctrina gramatical, los Principios de Gramática General (1841 [1835]) de José Mamerto Gómez Hermosilla (1771–1837), calibrar las aportaciones de sus fuentes francesas – Beauzée, Condillac y Destutt de Tracy – y describir cómo se utilizaron éstas. El método para tal fin ha consistido en contrastar de forma precisa la macroorganización, así como la teoría sobre el sustantivo, en las obras francesas mencionadas y en la española. Nuestro propósito era un mejor conocimiento de la recepción y de la adaptación en España de lo que se puede llamar genéricamente Gramática general. El estudio nos ha permitido de…

Hermann weyl, the reluctant revolutionary

2003

“Brouwer – that is the revolution!” – with these words from his manifesto “On the New Foundations Crisis in Mathematics” (Weyl 1921) Hermann Weyl jumped headlong into ongoing debates concerning the foundations of set theory and analysis. His decision to do so was not taken lightly, knowing that this dramatic gesture was bound to have immense repercussions not only for him, but for many others within the fragile and politically fragmented European mathematical community. Weyl felt sure that modern mathematics was going to undergo massive changes in the near future. By proclaiming a “new” foundations crisis, he implicitly acknowledged that revolutions had transformed mathematics in the past, …

Spirit and Spirituality: Philosophical Trends in Late Modern Pneumatology

2008

AbstractThis dialogue piece reviews some of the key developments in the doctrine of the Holy Spirit in late modern theology that have contributed to the scholarly and practical integration of pneumatology and Christian spirituality. Shifts in the meaning and use of three concepts — matter, person, and force — have played a particularly influential role in these developments. These trends are illustrated in several recent pneumatological proposals. The final section outlines some new directions for the ongoing task of reforming pneumatology.
