Desobediencia: ¿Derecho o estrategia? A propósito de la reivindicación de la “política de desobediencia civil” en Catalunya
2018
RESUMEN: Aunque la tradicion de la desobediencia civil y, mas lejos aun, la del derecho a resistencia tiene antecedentes muy claros, hoy se ha producido un giro. El incremento del fenomeno de la indignacion y revuelta contra el sistema ha propiciado lo que algunos consideran estrategia de desobediencia e incluso politica de desobediencia. Em este articulo se discute esa hipotesis desde la experiencia que procura la experiencia vivida en los dos ultimos anos en Cataluna. ABSTRACT: We are possibly facing a turning point in the tradition of the right of resistance and even civil disobedience. From the globalization of the phenomenon of the indignados, the recourse to the strategy of disobedie…
Reconstructing Moral Development—Kohlberg Meets Oevermann
2015
Biography and biographical research are also part of the work of the late Lawrence Kohlberg. Coming from developmental research in terms of morality, i.e. justice, at the end of his career he became interested in some holistic (biographical) concepts of development, putting different research traditions such as those represented by Erik H. Erikson, James Marcia, William Perry and others and his own research together. It is in this direction that we are going to focus our research.
Dynamic Family System Trajectories From Pregnancy to Child's First Year
2014
According to family systems theory, families consist of hierarchically ordered parts, from basic dyadic relations to marital and parental subsystems (Minuchin, 1985). In the transition to parenthood, family relationships change as the family system adapts to the new situation. Thechanges,suchasimprovementsanddeclines in relationship quality, are different and unique, depending on how emotions and responsibili- ties are shared in the family. For instance, fam- ilies with well-functioning relationships during pregnancy tend also to fare well in the postpar- tum period, whereas families with problematic relationships often experience further decline in their relationship quality across the tra…
Informal Institutions and Democracy
2000
Informal institutions have grown in relevance for the analysis of new ‘third wave’ democracies. The research strategy receives its impetus from the debate on neo‐institutionalism theory, which offers a productive perspective for structuring the field of analysis. This article explains the distinguishing factors between formal and informal institutions. It addresses five basic types of informal institutions, examines the ways in which they function and discusses their relevance in terms of democracy theory. Each type is characterized by the way in which it enacts its respective means of political influence. The study distinguishes between forms of specific relationship (clientelism), of mate…
Humor and Disobedience : Understanding Controversial Humor
2016
In this article, I analyze controversial humor and argue that the concept of disobedience is of central importance when evaluating, for instance, harsh or potentially hurtful jokes. Following social critic Erich Fromm (1900– 1980) I claim that disobedience is a dialectic concept: that is, it includes the possibilities both to affirm and to reject. This observation connects humor to other values, and pivotal is how humor is related to the question of what it means to be a human being. Through this insight, I argue that controversial humor may shock and be offensive, or it can be amusing and even have a cathartic effect. In the end, in evaluating humor it is necessary to analyze the values be…

Foucault and Agamben on Augustine, Paradise and the Politics of Human Nature
2023
This article focuses on Foucault’s and Agamben’s readings of Augustine’s account of human nature and original sin. Foucault’s analysis of Augustine’s account of sexual acts in paradise, subordinated to will and devoid of lust, highlights the way it constitutes the model for the married couple, whose sexual acts are only acceptable if diverted by the will away from desire and towards the tasks of procreation. While Agamben rejects Augustine’s doctrine of original sin and reclaims paradise as the original homeland of humanity, his reappropriation of paradise remains conditioned by our turn towards our true nature, from which we have been estranged by sin. Agamben’s politics of reclaiming par…
La giuridicità del diritto di resistenza nello Stato costituzional-democratico: una proposta teorica
Il presente lavoro intende indagare i profili di giuridicità del diritto di resistenza come un “diritto giuridico” e una pratica costituzionale giustificabile sul terreno normativo. L’ambito della ricerca è circoscritto agli ordinamenti costituzional-democratici. L’obiettivo finale è mostrare che alcuni casi di “resistenza” dovrebbero essere protetti dalla costituzione ed esentati parzialmente o totalmente dalla punizione prevista per la trasgressione della norma giuridica resistita. È questo il caso di “resistenza costituzionale” e “disobbedienza civile”. Tuttavia, le definizioni di questo tipo di atteggiamenti nei confronti del diritto rimangono generalmente vaghe anche nella letteratura …
From Eunomia to Paideia: The Educating Nature of Law
2020
Education and Law are two of the institutions which most directly influence the configuration of the individual and of society. Furthermore, there is a close relationship between them in that each determines the development of the other. From their very beginnings, political and legal philosophy have asked what is Law, what is education and what should the relationship between them be. This chapter deals with the relationship between Law and education from this philosophical-practical perspective. It begins by illustrating the notable similarities between both and then goes on to address two questions: (1) whether Law should educate citizens in moral virtues; and (2) if the education of cit…
retorno a la obediencia de Juan I: la reinstauración de las décimas pontificias (1387-1393)
2020
En 1387, el papa aviñonense Clemente VII promulgó tres décimas pontificias en la Corona de Aragón que debían servir para sufragar los gastos que ocasionaban las revueltas en Cerdeña. Parte de la colecta se destinó al rey aragonés Juan I que acaba de acceder al trono tras la muerte de su padre. Se desmarcaba así de su predecesor, quien se había incautado durante nueve años de las rentas de la Cámara Apostólica. En este artículo se estudia el retorno a la obediencia de Juan I y la reinstauración progresiva del aparato fiscal y financiero pontificio en la Corona de Aragón a través de la recaudación y gestión del tributo de la décima papal. Pope Clement VII of Avignon promulgated in 1387 three …
