Este libro está compuesto por veinticuatro contribuciones que procuran brindar un panorama amplio de puntos de contacto entre la fenomenología y la tradición filosófica. No se trata de una historia de la filosofía desde el punto de vista fenomenológico, ni de un trabajo de búsqueda de autores “proto-fenomenológicos”. Se trata, más bien, de un ejercicio amplio en el que se integran trabajos en los que se discuten, dialogan y confrontan algunas tesis de la fenomenología con algunas de las cimas de la historia de la filosofía. Aparecen en este escenario las figuras de Parménides, Heráclito, Platón, Aristóteles, las escuelas escépticas y cirenaicas, Agustín de Hipona...

Tras más de noventa años de la publicación de Ser y tiempo de Martin Heidegger, una de las obras más emblemáticas e importantes del siglo pasado, resulta un hecho sorprendente constatar su vigencia, no solo a través de los estudios e interpretaciones que continúan ofreciéndose sobre ella, sino también del amplio espectro de problemas que inauguró y que anima un número importante de discusiones filosóficas en la actualidad. La publicación de la casi totalidad de volúmenes de la Gesamtausgabe, así como de un número importante de epistolarios, ha permitido ganar un conocimiento más claro del origen y de las motivaciones de la obra, del proyecto original (mantenido hasta 1932) y...
Esta obra viene a ofrecernos un amplio y sugerente estudio de la temporalidad desde una perspectiva fenomenológica, a través de los análisis de Husserl sobre la pluralidad de niveles temporales implicados en la experiencia de la finitud, la muerte, el sueño y la vigilia; pasando por la apropiación y reinterpretación del tiempo en Heidegger y Levinas, y por un eventual diálogo de la fenomenología con otros autores de la tradición filosófica que ofrecieron líneas de reflexión sugerentes sobre esta problemática (Aristóteles, Spinoza y Marx). Temáticamente hablando, nos abre un abanico rico de lecturas, interpretaciones y conexiones del tiempo con el olvido, el recuerdo, el nacimiento, la añoranza, el trabajo y la amistad, lo que nos permite volver a poner en cuestión la clásica oposición entre el incesante fluir del tiempo y la inmutable eternidad. La fenomenología nos enseña que el tiempo es la fuente de cualquier permanencia, que lo invariable solo es posible en tanto fluyente y viviente, es decir, como un incesante transcurrir que es vivenciado por alguien concreto y cuya permanencia, por más paradójico que parezca, está garantizada por su continuo pasar.
This groundbreaking book reframes five hundred years of western Nicaraguan history by giving gender and sexuality the attention they deserve. Victoria González-Rivera decenters nationalist narratives of triumphant mestizaje and argues that western Nicaragua’s LGBTQIA+ history is a profoundly Indigenous one. In this expansive history, González-Rivera documents connections between Indigeneity, local commerce, and femininity (cis and trans), demonstrating the long history of LGBTQIA+ Nicaraguans. She sheds light on historical events, such as Andres Caballero’s 1536 burning at the stake for sodomy. González-Rivera discusses how elite efforts after independence to “modernize” open-air markets led to increased surveillance of LGBTQIA+ working-class individuals. She also examines the 1960s and the Somoza dictatorship, when another wave of persecution emerged, targeting working-class gay men and trans women, leading to a more stringent anti-sodomy law. The centuries prior to the post-1990 political movement for greater LGBTQIA+ rights demonstrate that, far from being marginal, LGBTQIA+ Nicaraguans have been active in every area of society for hundreds of years.
"This book takes you through the collection gallery by gallery, illuminating the art and installations in each room"--From preface.
A vivid and exciting account of royal collectors, art dealers, connoisseurs, and the rise of old master paintings Old master paintings are among the most valuable and prestigious of the visual arts, and the best examples command the highest prices of any luxury commodity. In Kings and Connoisseurs, Jonathan Brown tells the story of how painting rose to this exalted status. The transformation of painting from an inexpensive to a costly art form reached a crucial stage in the royal courts of Europe in the seventeenth century, where rulers and aristocrats assembled huge collections, often in short periods of time. By comparing collecting and collectors at these courts, Brown explains the formation of new attitudes toward pictures, as well as the mechanisms that supported the enterprise of collecting, including the emergence of the art dealer, the development of connoisseurship, and the publication of sumptuous picture books of various collections. The result is an exciting narrative of greed and passion, played out against a background of international politics and intrigue.
What lies at the center of the Mexican colonial experience? Should Mexican colonial society be construed as a theoretical monolith, capitalist from its inception, or was it essentially feudal, as traditional historiography viewed it? In this pathfinding study, Enrique Semo offers a fresh vision: that the conflicting social formations of capitalism, feudalism, and tributary despotism provided the basic dynamic of Mexico's social and economic development. Responding to questions raised by contemporary Mexican society, Semo sees the origin of both backwardness and development not in climate, race, or a heterogeneous set of unrelated traits, but rather in the historical interaction of each socia...
