Nuevos debates para la comunicaci�n y la filosof�a
Hay un amplio consenso en al menos algunas de las características principales que definen la naturaleza humana. El hombre, la mujer, como otros animales, es un ser social, político (el zóon politikon aristotélico). Pero a diferencia de otros animales sociales poseemos la capacidad del lenguaje (y por tanto el conocimiento, la comunicación y la ciencia) y aplicamos estas capacidades para crear y usar herramientas complejas (la tecnología, fruto del trabajo y la cooperación social).
Poder y medios en las sociedades del siglo XXI
En la medida en que las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación avanzan imparables y transforman la cotidianeidad del ser humano de una manera profunda, afectando a todos los órdenes de su vida, es cada vez más necesario que desde la Universidad se generen espacios para la reflexión y el debate en torno a la sociedad en la que se desenvuelve. Los cambios acontecidos durante las décadas transcurridas desde que el mundo académico percibiera y comenzase a describir los rasgos fundamentales de la entonces recién estrenada Sociedad de la Información, parecen haberse acelerado en los últimos años. Con el smartphone, las redes sociales y las multinacionales tecnológicas como aceleradores de la transformación, el epicentro de la reflexión se sitúa en las implicaciones que pueden tener en el orden económico y mundial y en la superación de la estructura ideológica, largamente definidos, como señala Chomsky, por el neoliberalismo, la globalización monopolar y el pensamiento único.
Mexico at the World's Fairs
This intriguing study of Mexico's participation in world's fairs from 1889 to 1929 explores Mexico's self-presentation at these fairs as a reflection of the country's drive toward nationalization and a modernized image. Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo contrasts Mexico's presence at the 1889 Paris fair—where its display was the largest and most expensive Mexico has ever mounted—with Mexico's presence after the 1910 Mexican Revolution at fairs in Rio de Janeiro in 1922 and Seville in 1929. Rather than seeing the revolution as a sharp break, Tenorio-Trillo points to important continuities between the pre- and post-revolution periods. He also discusses how, internationally, the character of world's ...
