Hans Bellmer, un artiste philosophe ou l'identité en question
2013
If the surrealist group has attracted the interest of philosophers, one can also note that some of these artists have attempted to develop their own philosophical reflection. This was the case of Hans Bellmer obsessed with the themes of desire, body and metamorphosis and, through that, with the games of identity and otherness. The anatomy of the image, one of Bellmer’s essential books, also shows the role of the artistic creation in the efforts to illuminate the “enigma of existence”.
Poetics of the "savage" : practice of tattooing in the modern world
2012
Ancient as it may be the popularity for tattoo does not seem to wane in the West. Indeed, we can find a great number of tattoo studios, exhibitions or magazines in our cities. The iconography of the brand seems to be the result of an amazing syncretism of which the "wild" imagery is an important part. Maori tattoos, Arabic calligraphy, dragons and wild animals, not from Western culture, are indeed very popular patterns. True mode of expressions of the skin, the ethnic tattoo indicates a certain view of the world, a view of the Other, as the path one chooses to follow in order to search for a "sense of self". Since the cabinets of curiosities of the sixteenth century, the Western world colle…

Veus de frontera : «els altres catalans» d?ara
2018
L’estudi que proposem se centra en l’anàlisi d’algunes de les veus migrants de la literatura catalana actual, enteses com aquelles que se situen entre dues cultures, en la frontera entre allò que és conegut i desconegut, en els marges del que els seus protagonistes són i no són; una literatura que no narra epopeies, sinó proeses individuals, sovint relacionades amb l’estat d’ànim generat a partir de la reescriptura de la pròpia personalitat. És en aquest sentit que el treball que presentem cerca una aproximació a l’alteritat a partir d’alguns dels textos de Saïd El Kadaoui, Najat El Hachmi, Agnès Agboton i Francesc Serés. Totes elles veus de frontera que resulten cada vegada més comunes, mé…
Between distance and privacy: the enunciation of the urban space in Vicent Andrés Estellés
2018
L’article analitza el tractament i la presència de la ciutat en les obres de Vicent Andrés Estellés en funció de l’acostament o la llunyania que el jo poètic hi estableix. Les obres estudiades no remeten a cap període de producció concret, sinó que es troben disseminades al llarg de tota la trajectòria del poeta a causa de la presència constant que l’espai hi té. Ens centrarem, doncs, a estudiar les dues maneres que el poeta té de representar la ciutat: la que la configura com una alteritat observada pel jo poètic i la que la practica des de la proximitat. Tot fent referència als diferents indrets significatius que configuren la identitat del jo poètic. This paper analyses how Vicent Andrés…
Viajando a la mercantil o apresado de ingleses piratas: dos formas de dar la vuelta al mundo a finales del siglo XVII y dos maneras de contarlo
2013
[EN] The paper analyses the accounts of two trips around the world conducted in the last two decades of the Seventeenth-century and published the one in Naples, 1699-1700, the other in mexico, a decade earlier. the first case was led by giovanni francesco gemelli Careri, a traveller vilified as fake by whom gave the final impetus to the genre of travel literature from french and British Enlightement. the second case was led by Alonso Ramirez, a traveller who was considered for three centuries just a fictional character. though two texts set in a peripheral place and time, from the point of view of European geopolitics of the moment and of the literary genre of travel writing as well, our ai…
La alteridad en el discurso de la ciencia ficción : identidad y desarraigo en Beforeigners (HBO: 2019- )
2021
La representación del miedo hacia el Otro ha sido una de las temáticas más recurrentes en el género de la ciencia ficción. En esta línea, esta investigación articula un análisis de la serie noruega Beforeigners en torno al discurso de la identidad. Desde una perspectiva cualitativa, se ha realizado un análisis textual que ha puesto de manifiesto que en la serie prevalecen los valores comunitarios y solidarios. En la discusión se han contrapuestos los resultados con otras series del género y se ha evidenciado que la serie rompe con las narrativas típicas de la ciencia ficción. Asimismo, se destaca el tono crítico de la serie hacia las políticas de inmigración de la Unión Europea. The portray…
Multimodal disinformation about otherness on the internet : the spread of racist, xenophobic and Islamophobic fake news in 2020
2021
This work studies the use of disinformation to construct an image of otherness through the internet. We applied a content analysis methodology to the 161 racist, xenophobic or Islamophobic fake news pieces that were discredited in 2020 by the four Spanish information verification media entities accredited by the International Fact-Checking Network: Maldita.es , Newtral , Efe Verifica and Verificat . The results show that the most commonly used formats were image and video, that disinformation was most often based on taking information out of context and deception, and that the source could not be identified. The most shared characteristics associated otherness with receiving aid, violence a…
Pluralismo religioso come nuovo umanesimo nell'età-postsecolare
2018
Overcoming the common distinction between religiosity and laicity, it is possible to find the condition for a development of a religious pluralism (as a kind of new humanism) in the interreligious dialogue, based on an epistemological turn of theology and on a hermeneutic approach to otherness.
Problematics of Bonds in Hugh MacDiarmid's Poetry
2012
Hugh MacDiarmid is considered the most important Scottish poet of the 20th century. He is mostly celebrated for the Scots lyrics he wrote in the 1920s and his long poem A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle, published in 1926. Because of their fragmentation, the poems of the Thirties, most of which were part of the unpublished project Mature Art, and In Memoriam James Joyce (1955), have not attracted the same critical attention. However, they represent the culmination of a very complex stylistic crisis that this study offers to analyse thanks to the question of bonds, especially problematic bonds. The poetry portrays humanity torn by social division, treason and death, but it deals with loss too…
