This book was released on 2003-12 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Puede nuestra cultura prescindir de la referencia al psicoanálisis? ¿Pueden hacerlo el cine y la literatura, las artes figurativas, la filosofía y las ciencias humanas y sociales? No. Desde 1900, fecha de publicación de La interpretación de los sueños, el psicoanálisis ha penetrado todos los ámbitos de la cultura pública. Jorge Alemán, psicoanalista y gran conocedor de vastos territorios de la cultura y de la política, somete al psicoanálisis a diálogo y crítica. Al texto son invitados Freud y Lacan, pero también Sartre, Heidegger y Foucault; al texto son convocados el 11-S y la crisis argentina. Y toda nuestra modernidad en crisis. Pequeños e incisivos capítulos, agudas conversaciones que exploran, desde la lógica del psicoanálisis, los nudos de nuestra experiencia y los trazos de nuestra esperanza: el lenguaje, el sexo y la muerte, lo imposible y la suicida negación de la imposibilidad, las relaciones entre lo real y la historia. En el centro de ese discurso inquisitivo y brillante se halla "el discurso capitalista": la expresión es de Lacan; su exposición y sus diversificaciones, son la tarea de Alemán. El discurso capitalista no es tanto el discurso de la acumulación: es el de la negación de la imposibilidad; es, por ello, el Discurso del Amo, que pretende colonizar, sin freno ni límite, todo lo real; es, también, el discurso del miedo, y de la gestión del miedo. Es el discurso de la política y de lo político. Es discurso del Uno-Todo, discurso totalitario, nihilizante y aniquilador.

Download or read book Breviario pol tico de psicoan lisis written by Jorge Alemán and published by NED Ediciones. This book was released on 2023-01-17 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «Cuando un pueblo entiende que a veces la ley no es la ley, sino un instrumento arbitrario del poder, ha realizado una operación subjetiva y política de primer orden». Una vez más, Jorge Alemán cuestiona el discurso capitalista con un golpe de reescritura, en forma de breviario, sobre sus libros anteriores. Su «Breviario» discurre sobre distintas lecturas, interpretaciones y temas cruciales de la actualidad que indagan hasta donde lo político y el psicoanálisis —sin superponerse nunca— entran en un mutuo juego de correspondencias. Al mismo tiempo, logra atar los cables sueltos de sus formulaciones teóricas con el legado de Marx, Freud, Heidegger y Lacan. El célebre psicoanalista y escritor nos brinda así un repertorio de conceptos clave donde amalgama varias secuencias (amor y acontecimiento; machismo; lenguaje inclusivo; el Mal) que van desde sus lecturas sobre la forma neoliberal del Capital hasta el modo en que éstas impactan sobre la vida y las circunstancias sociales y subjetivas. Una obra que se puede leer por bloques temáticos siguiendo el orden sugerido o bien de manera aleatoria, ya que cada una de sus entradas constituyen una unidad en sí misma.

Download or read book El inconsciente la t cnica y el discurso capitalista written by Néstor A. Braunstein and published by Siglo XXI Editores México. This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El mundo se nos presenta como un vasto complejo de servomecanismos, una "red" o telaraña que todo lo cubre. En ese conjunto, los seres que hablan tienden a perder sus diferencias a medida que se integran a él o se desintegran en él. El hombriguero resultante es un efecto de la técnica y está al servicio de un nuevo discurso, sustituto del discurso capitalista que, a su vez, sustituyó al discurso del amo tradicional. En el discurso del amo el complemento era el esclavo: las sociedades regidas por ese discurso eran sociedades de soberanía. El discurso del capitalista produjo al proletario consumidor y, políticamente, las sociedades disciplinarias (Foucault). Actualmente asistimos al avance del discurso de los mercados con su correlato, las sociedades de control (Deleuze), que pretenden regular no sólo los actos y las palabras, sino también el deseo y los sueños. Siguiendo una línea de investigación iniciada hace 35 años (Psicología: ideología y ciencia), el autor demuestra que sólo el discurso del psicoanalista (Lacan), capaz de conducir a la revelación del inconsciente, puede considerarse una opción frente a la desubjetivación.

Download or read book Psicoan lisis en la locura de la raz n capitalista written by Alejandro del Carril and published by Planeta Argentina. This book was released on 2022-12-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «Alejandro escribe "al corte". Las palabras disparan, las ideas provocan, las preguntas despiertan... y cuando la tensión llega a un grado máximo, desacelera y vuelve a empezar. A la jungla vietnamita del Coronel Kurtz del inicio y la jungla de cemento de las colonias de los replicantes en Blade Runner del final, el autor añade su propia jungla: la cumbia villera, las drogas, las letras de Los Redondos, Freud y sus correspondencias, Lacan y sus nudos, Foucault y Pasolini, Kant con Sade, los gobiernos actuales del mundo occidental, las experiencias de análisis propias y de sus pacientes, las lecturas que lo han influenciado. Todos ellos conviven, con algunas contradicciones que el autor con gran coraje intelectual se encarga de no disimular, en un texto que pone en acto lo que enuncia en teoría: no hay verdadera lucha en el plano lingüístico-ideológico si no se toca la economía libidinal (que también es monetaria). Todo el libro está plagado de viñetas clínicas y experiencias del autor, quien no ha dudado en practicar el imposible que es el psicoanálisis en los lugares más desfavorables y con las poblaciones más vulnerables». Del prólogo de MARÍA MARTHA CHAKER

Download or read book The End of the Cognitive Empire written by Boaventura de Sousa Santos and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-16 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The End of the Cognitive Empire Boaventura de Sousa Santos further develops his concept of the "epistemologies of the South," in which he outlines a theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical framework for challenging the dominance of Eurocentric thought. As a collection of knowledges born of and anchored in the experiences of marginalized peoples who actively resist capitalism, colonialism, and patriarchy, epistemologies of the South represent those forms of knowledge that are generally discredited, erased, and ignored by dominant cultures of the global North. Noting the declining efficacy of established social and political solutions to combat inequality and discrimination, Santos suggests that global justice can only come about through an epistemological shift that guarantees cognitive justice. Such a shift would create new, alternative strategies for political mobilization and activism and give oppressed social groups the means through which to represent the world as their own and in their own terms.

Download or read book Baron de Vastey and the Origins of Black Atlantic Humanism written by Marlene L. Daut and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the influential life and works of the Haitian political writer and statesman, Baron de Vastey (1781-1820), in this book Marlene L. Daut examines the legacy of Vastey’s extensive writings as a form of what she calls black Atlantic humanism, a discourse devoted to attacking the enlightenment foundations of colonialism. Daut argues that Vastey, the most important secretary of Haiti’s King Henry Christophe, was a pioneer in a tradition of deconstructing colonial racism and colonial slavery that is much more closely associated with twentieth-century writers like W.E.B. Du Bois, Frantz Fanon, and Aimé Césaire. By expertly forging exciting new historical and theoretical connections among Vastey and these later twentieth-century writers, as well as eighteenth- and nineteenth-century black Atlantic authors, such as Phillis Wheatley, Olaudah Equiano, William Wells Brown, and Harriet Jacobs, Daut proves that any understanding of the genesis of Afro-diasporic thought must include Haiti’s Baron de Vastey.

Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Download or read book The Forbidden Religion written by Jose M. Herrou Aragon and published by José M. Herrou Aragón. This book was released on 2012-07-03 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gnosis means knowledge. But we are not referring to just any knowledge. Gnosis is knowledge which produces a great transformation in those who receive it. Knowledge capable of nothing less than waking up man and helping him to escape from the prison in which he finds himself. That is why Gnosis has been so persecuted throughout the course of history, because it is knowledge considered dangerous for the religious and political authorities who govern mankind from the shadows. Every time this religion, absolutely different from the rest, appears before man, the other religions unite to try to destroy or hide it again. Primordial Gnosis is the original Gnosis, true Gnosis, eternal Gnosis, Gnostic knowledge in its pure form. Due to multiple persecutions, Primordial Gnosis has been fragmented, distorted and hidden.

Download or read book Philosophical Remarks written by Ludwig Wittgenstein and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1980-10-15 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When in May 1930, the Council of Trinity College, Cambridge, had to decide whether to renew Wittgenstein's research grant, it turned to Bertrand Russell for an assessment of the work Wittgenstein had been doing over the past year. His verdict: "The theories contained in this new work . . . are novel, very original and indubitably important. Whether they are true, I do not know. As a logician who likes simplicity, I should like to think that they are not, but from what I have read of them I am quite sure that he ought to have an opportunity to work them out, since, when completed, they may easily prove to constitute a whole new philosophy." "[Philosophical Remarks] contains the seeds of Wittgenstein's later philosophy of mind and of mathematics. Principally, he here discusses the role of indispensable in language, criticizing Russell's The Analysis of Mind. He modifies the Tractatus's picture theory of meaning by stressing that the connection between the proposition and reality is not found in the picture itself. He analyzes generality in and out of mathematics, and the notions of proof and experiment. He formulates a pain/private-language argument and discusses both behaviorism and the verifiability principle. The work is difficult but important, and it belongs in every philosophy collection."—Robert Hoffman, Philosophy "Any serious student of Wittgenstein's work will want to study his Philosophical Remarks as a transitional book between his two great masterpieces. The Remarks is thus indispensible for anyone who seeks a complete understanding of Wittgenstein's philosophy."—Leonard Linsky, American Philosophical Association

Download or read book Colonialism Past and Present written by Alvaro Felix Bolanos and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays offers alternative readings of historical and literary texts produced during Latin America's colonial period. By considering the political and ideological implications of the texts' interpretation yesterday and today, it attempts to "decolonize" the field of Latin American studies and promote an ethical, interdisciplinary practice that does not falsify or appropriate knowledge produced by both the colonial subjects of the past and the oppressed subjects of the present. Using recent developments in postcolonial theory, the contributors challenge traditional approaches to Hispanism. The colonial situation under which these texts were composed, with all its injustices and prejudices, still lingers, and most studies have consistently avoided the connection between this colonial legacy and the situation of disenfranchised groups today. Colonialism Past and Present challenges discursive strategies that celebrate only European cultural traits, dismiss non-European cultural legacies, and solidify constructions of national projects considered natural extensions of European civilization since independence from Spain.

Download or read book Leopard in the Sun written by Laura Restrepo and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2024-02-21 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Laura Restrepo's stunning novel, a feud between two Colombian drug families escalates into a bloody, high-stakes war that will leave no one in its path untouched. The Barragáns and the Monsalves are rival clans, each steeped in wealth and power, each subject only to laws of their own making. The similarities end there. While the Barragáns, headed by the brutal Nando, remain tied to the ancient traditions, the Monsalves grapple with whether or not to follow Mani, their charismatic and conflicted leader, into a modern age in which even fewer rules apply. As both clans ponder the profits they might reap from an expanding global cocaine trade, Nando and Mani are faced with the consequences of their violent pasts--and forced, by their disillusioned women and the prices on their heads, to reckon with the possibility that nothing will be left once all their bullets have found their targets. Rife with sensual detail, this epic story of lust, betrayal, and revenge is as timeless as interfamily conflict and as immediate as today's news.

Download or read book Potential History written by Ariella Aïsha Azoulay and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A passionately urgent call for all of us to unlearn imperialism and repair the violent world we share, from one of our most compelling political theorists In this theoretical tour-de-force, renowned scholar Ariella Aïsha Azoulay calls on us to recognize the imperial foundations of knowledge and to refuse its strictures and its many violences. Azoulay argues that the institutions that make our world, from archives and museums to ideas of sovereignty and human rights to history itself, are all dependent on imperial modes of thinking. Imperialism has segmented populations into differentially governed groups, continually emphasized the possibility of progress while it tries to destroy what came before, and voraciously seeks out the new by sealing the past away in dusty archival boxes and the glass vitrines of museums. By practicing what she calls potential history, Azoulay argues that we can still refuse the original imperial violence that shattered communities, lives, and worlds, from native peoples in the Americas at the moment of conquest to the Congo ruled by Belgium's brutal King Léopold II, from dispossessed Palestinians in 1948 to displaced refugees in our own day. In Potential History, Azoulay travels alongside historical companions—an old Palestinian man who refused to leave his village in 1948, an anonymous woman in war-ravaged Berlin, looted objects and documents torn from their worlds and now housed in archives and museums—to chart the ways imperialism has sought to order time, space, and politics. Rather than looking for a new future, Azoulay calls upon us to rewind history and unlearn our imperial rights, to continue to refuse imperial violence by making present what was invented as “past” and making the repair of torn worlds the substance of politics.
