Umbrales filosóficos
El presente volumen parte de un análisis de las débiles constantes vitales que mantiene todavía en pie a la comunidad filosófica, decidida a abordar preguntas capitales como la posibilidad misma de la investigación filosófica actual, las principales preocupaciones del pensamiento filosófico de nuestros días, o el mismo estatus sociológico del filósofo. Se trata por todo ello de una obra no tanto destinada al saber erudito de las disciplinas filosóficas sino esencialmente preocupada por realizar esa operación telescópica de la razón sobre el mundo actual y que por ello mismo se construye como no podía ser de otro modo, sobre una estrecha colaboración entre las distintas ciencias sociales y humanas.
Philosophy, Literature, Art and Reality
There is a fundamental relationship between philosophy and literature in their attempt to interpret and reflect reality. Both philosophy and literature are arts or at least aspects of art. Aesthetics otherwise known as the philosophy of art exposes very clearly the link between philosophy and literature. On the other hand, through its major genres namely, drama, prose, and poetry, the link between literature and philosophy is made bare. Moreover, philosophy in playing its second-order role, delves into the literary world or the discipline of literature with its philosophical paraphernalia of criticality, reflectivity, analyticity, and rigour among others, to investigate activities of literar...
No echar de menos a Dios
Este es el libro más personal y más original del principal filósofo del Derecho mexicano de su generación. Se trata de una obra de madurez que es el reflejo de muchas lecturas y de muchas vivencias. Entre las lecturas se encuentran las de los autores con los que Rodolfo Vázquez entabla aquí un diálogo a propósito de la religión: Spinoza, Bayle, Voltaire, Hume, Feuerbach, James, Russell, Gaos, Tierno Galván, Horkheimer, Camus, Dworkin y Octavio Paz. Y en ese ejercicio intelectual que tiene mucho de autobiográfico (el diálogo lo es también con los diversos yoes del autor: a la madurez se llega con esfuerzo y no es tampoco una estación de destino) se van dibujando las etapas por l...
El valor del arte
Los ensayos recogidos en el presente volumen reflexionan sobre el valor del arte desde diferentes perspectivas. En primer lugar, se interrogan sobre la existencia de un valor específico del trabajo artístico y las obras de arte. En particular, algunos textos abordan la cuestión central del valor estético y de su conexión con la interpretación, la apreciación y el juicio de las obras de arte. En segundo lugar, ocupa un espacio central del libro el análisis de la relación entre el estético y otros valores que apreciamos en las obras de arte, como el valor documental, el histórico, el epistémico o el moral. Por último, la literatura, el cine o las artes plásticas son analizados desde el punto de vista del modo particular de dar sentido y articular en cada caso una concepción valiosa del mundo.
Symbolic Misery, Volume 1
In this important new book, the leading cultural theorist and philosopher Bernard Stiegler re-examines the relationship between politics and aesthetics in our contemporary hyperindustrial age. Stiegler argues that our epoch is characterized by the seizure of the symbolic by industrial technology, where aesthetics has become both theatre and weapon in an economic war. This has resulted in a ‘symbolic misery’ where conditioning substitutes for experience. In today’s control societies, aesthetic weapons play an essential role: audiovisual and digital technologies have become a means of controlling the conscious and unconscious rhythms of bodies and souls, of modulating the rhythms of cons...
Converso Non-Conformism in Early Modern Spain
This book examines the effects of Jewish conversions to Christianity in late medieval Spanish society. Ingram focuses on these converts and their descendants (known as conversos) not as Judaizers, but as Christian humanists, mystics and evangelists, who attempt to create a new society based on quietist religious practice, merit, and toleration. His narrative takes the reader on a journey from the late fourteenth-century conversions and the first blood purity laws (designed to marginalize conversos), through the early sixteenth-century Erasmian and radical mystical movements, to a Counter-Reformation environment in which conversos become the advocates for pacifism and concordance. His account ends at the court of Philip IV, where growing intolerance towards Madrid’s converso courtiers is subtly attacked by Spain’s greatest painter, Diego Velázquez, in his work, Los Borrachos. Finally, Ingram examines the historiography of early modern Spain, in which he argues the converso reform phenomenon continues to be underexplored.
Reading Dancing
Winner of the Dance Perspectives Foundation de la Torre Bueno Prize Recent approaches to dance composition, seen in the works of Merce Cunningham and the Judson Church performances of the early 1960s, suggest the possibility for a new theory of choreographic meaning. Borrowing from contemporary semiotics and post-structuralist criticism, Reading Dancing outlines four distinct models for representation in dance which are illustrated, first, through an analysis of the works of contemporary choreographers Deborah Hay, George Balanchine, Martha Graham, and Merce Cunningham, and then through reference to historical examples beginning with court ballets of the Renaissance. The comparison of these four approaches to representation affirms the unparalleled diversity of choreographic methods in American dance, and also suggests a critical perspective from which to reflect on dance making and viewing.
Migration als Ort der Theologie
Migration ist ein prominentes Thema, das unter verschiedensten Gesichtspunkten debattiert und analysiert wird. Weniger im Blick ist dabei die theologische Relevanz des Phänomens. Jenseits der unterschiedlichen Herangehensweisen und theologischen Disziplinen, die sie vertreten, plädieren die Autoren einstimmig für eine migrationssensible Theologie, die in der Globalisierung menschlicher Mobilität ein Zeichen der Zeit erkennt. Dabei wird deutlich, dass Migration ihrerseits einen theologiegenerativen Ort verkörpert, sodass hier und da bereits von einer Theologie der Migration die Rede ist.
Symbolic Misery, Volume 2
In this important new book, leading cultural theorist and philosopher Bernard Stiegler re-examines the relationship between politics and art in the contemporary world. Our hyper-industrial epoch represents what Stiegler terms a katastroph of the sensible. This katastroph is not an apocalypse or the end of everything, but the denouement of a drama; it is the final act in the process of psychic and collective individuation known as the West. Hyper-industrialization has brought about the loss of symbolic participation and the destruction of primordial narcissism, the very condition for individuation. It is in this context that artists have a unique role to play. When not subsumed in the capitalist economy, they are able to resist its synchronizing tendency, offering the possibility of reimagining the contemporary model of aesthetic participation. This highly original work - the second in Stieglers Symbolic Misery series - will be of particular interest to students in philosophy, media and cultural studies, contemporary art and sociology, and will consolidate Stieglers reputation as one of the most original cultural theorists of our time.
