Algunas consideraciones sobre el arte en México de las décadas de 1990 y 2000
2016
Titulo : “Algunas consideraciones sobre el arte en Mexico de los 1990s y 2000s” Resumen : En los ultimos 25 anos, una forma distinta de hacer, exhibir y circular arte en Mexico se incorporo a la economia global con ayuda de fondos publicos y privados. El arte en Mexico de los 1990s y 2000s abarca la transicion de una reflexion sobre las promesas rotas de la modernidad desde un punto de vista periferico, y un desafio a la hueca imagen de mexicanidad y su institucionalizacion, a lo que se conoce como “arte contemporaneo”. La liberalizacion del mercado llego de la mano con la liberalizacion de la identidad, construcciones historicas y la hibridez-pastiche mestiza de lo postmoderno, dando lugar…
Marginal Thinking Knowledge and Communication in the Postmodern Era
2020
The paradigm of late modernity and postmodernity, characterized by the sheer living manifestation of the limit, assumes the conscience of the indissoluble, by annulling any hypothesis, interrogation or problematization. The fracturing of the self coincides with the fracturing of knowledge, as an effective dialectic movement, or, in other words, as a state of continuity of the thinking, specific to the human being. The knowledge-seeking relation to the world through exclusion, that is featured by late modernity and postmodernism is manifested, in an extreme(marginal) form, by the de-presentisation of the immanent and the transcendent and by imposing the simulation as a global process of crea…
Revista española de educación comparada
2019
espanolEl objetivo de este trabajo consiste en aplicar la dialectica analogica desarrollada por Platon como una metodologia adecuada para comprender su pensamiento. En este sentido, abordare en primer lugar las aclaraciones terminologicas necesarias para delimitar el planteamiento de la cuestion y prestar una especial atencion a la nocion de symploke introducida por Platon y desarrollada posteriormente por Jesus G. Maestro como uno de los criterios hermeneuticos centrales que la Critica de la literatura debe tener en cuenta para evitar caer en el univocidad interpretativa o en la equivocidad propia de la postmodernidad. En segundo lugar, realizare una aproximacion metodologica a la lectura …

Entering post-otaku : approaching the Internet era in the light of otaku
2014
This thesis raises a hypothesis that we have entered the Post- Otaku era. In order to prove this hypothesis, a survey has been conducted in which 30 participants gave answers regarding their Internet habits. It is said that each time when science and technology make one step forward, it increases the capacity of our organs. Compared with the impact of the industrial revolution on human beings, the influence of Internet technology seems far more tremendous as the former extends the power of our limbs while the latter enhances the competence of our brain. The significance of the present study is trying to explore the unknown future in the light of the Otaku phenomenon which is something havin…
Ubiqüitat de la ironia o, si més no, alguns dels seus usos entre els poetes actuals
2006
The incidence of irony in the genre of lyric poetry has caused some special effects, mainly after modernity turned this disposition of thought into an irreplaceable element when, thanks to the contribution of the Romantic poet Friedrich Schlegel, complicities between poets and readers were stipulated. The present article tries to evaluate the validity of these presuppositions by studying the use of ironic procedures in the poetic texts of a number of authors of great importance now. The relevance of the authors analyzed is justified not only by the poets’ relation to an absolute diversity of styles and programs, but also, by the fact that it is able to represent all the literary generations…
Ewolucja ludzkości według Hoene-Wrońskiego
2017
The aim of this article is to recall and, at the same time, to update, the theory of the evolution of humanity by Josef Hoëné-Wronski. I am trying to show that the author of Metapolitics (Métapolitique messianique) and of other philosophical and mathematical works was much ahead of his contemporaries concerning his ideas about evolution and these ideas, although expressed in a somewhat archaic and obscure language, are still valid for us today. Hoëné-Wronski has boldly challenged the deterministic picture of the world emerging from modern science and has derived human evolution from the moral and rational development of human beings. He divided it into seven stages. My interpretation of Hoë…
Economicism and Nihilism in the Eclipse of Humanism
2014
This article is based on the conviction that the major problems nowadays are not technical, but ethical, and are incumbent on homo qua homo. The origin of these problems is the advancement of economicism as a supreme interpretation of human and social reality, which means the primacy of the “market” and considering human beings in terms of what they have rather than what they are. Economicism emerges in “modernity” and assumes that everything that does not have market value is either devaluated or rejected. In consequence, the human being has been devaluated and has turned into a simple object of the market. “Postmodernity” mixes economicism and techno-scientificism (chrematistics and instr…
Comparative Decadence? Male Queerness in Late Nineteenth- and Late Twentieth-Century Fiction
2018
Emig’s chapter compares Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray and Alan Hollinghurst’s The Swimming-Pool Library. After outlining the different historical contexts of queer masculinity in the novels, it points out parallels, such as its legal repression in late Victorianism and at the time of the AIDS crisis under Thatcher. Wilde’s novel provokes with homoerotic longing, Hollinghurst’s with pornographic depictions of gay sex. Both texts are decadent fantasies, yet also criticise double standards of hegemonic masculinity and heteronormativity. Hollinghurst’s novel further exposes its Wildean subtext as class-ridden and colonial. In addition, the scandalous male as narcissistic consumer of …
Overcoming Postmodernity? Reconsidering Animal Life from Heidegger to Derrida
2018
In this paper, I would like to approach the question of language as crucial for the difference between human and non-human animals in the scenario cast by contemporary continental philosophy. I would also like to use this and other topics as a chance to take some general considerations on postmodernity into account, the latter intended as the historical condition in which we are supposed to live.
