Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Qué sentido tiene que un panadero haga pan solo para panaderos o un barbero que afeite solo a barberos? Lo mismo ocurre con la filosofía: los filósofos deberían escribir para todo el mundo y no solo para los iniciados. Los manuales de filosofía suelen centrarse en aquellas cuestiones de las que el filósofo se siente más orgulloso —el conocimiento, la política, la historia, la sociedad, la estética, la religión—. Sin embargo, hay otros temas y aspectos de enorme importancia que con frecuencia se pasan por alto cuando la fábrica conceptual no consigue domeñarlos. La realidad es tozuda y se empeña en mantener también las dimensiones no pensadas o que no terminan de encajar en los esquemas con los que las pensamos y que tienen consecuencias en nuestras vidas. De hecho, con frecuencia son los lugares más intempestivos, inoportunos, inciertos y desordenados –lugares que siguen constituyendo en gran medida Territorios por pensar– los que nos pueden dar la clave para ampliar nuestra representación del mundo y de la realidad más allá de lo canonizado por el pensamiento.
Download or read book L neas de frontera filosof a y postcolonialismo written by Emanuela Fornari and published by . This book was released on 2017-10 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En los últimos veinte años del siglo XX, una revisión radical y desestabilizadora convulsionó los presupuestos etnocéntricos del pensamiento antropológico, filosófico y político de Occidente. Estaba cambiando la geopolítica del planeta, y comenzaba a vacilar la proyección sobre las demás culturas de nuestras categorías de subjetividad, historia, soberanía, ciudadanía, universalidad o emancipación. La nueva actitud propició el florecimiento de estudios «poscoloniales», reunidos por la práctica del contagio. Desde entonces la contaminación entre concepciones a primera vista irreconciliables de la vida en sociedad se antoja más fructífera que el enrocamiento defensivo, mientras la migración de conceptos y principios sigue a la diáspora de los cuerpos de carne y hueso: pierde su connotación privativa para transformarse en un estado de elección. Estar siempre «fuera de lugar» ayuda de hecho a contemplar el mundo y a nosotros mismos con distintos ojos. De este «contrabando incontrolado de ideas más allá de las líneas» —según la máxima fulminante de Edward Said—, el ensayo de Emanuela Fornari constituye probablemente el primer reconocimiento completo en clave filosófica. No hay línea de fractura o desplazamiento de fronteras disciplinares que escape a su análisis reconstructivo. En la conciencia de que no todo es transferible de una cultura a otra, y de que es preciso salvaguardar aquel coeficiente de intraducibilidad ante el cual sólo es posible un silencio a varias voces.

Download or read book Local Histories Global Designs written by Walter D. Mignolo and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-26 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local Histories/Global Designs is an extended argument about the "coloniality" of power by one of the most innovative Latin American and Latino scholars. In a shrinking world where sharp dichotomies, such as East/West and developing/developed, blur and shift, Walter Mignolo points to the inadequacy of current practices in the social sciences and area studies. He explores the crucial notion of "colonial difference" in the study of the modern colonial world and traces the emergence of an epistemic shift, which he calls "border thinking." Further, he expands the horizons of those debates already under way in postcolonial studies of Asia and Africa by dwelling in the genealogy of thoughts of South/Central America, the Caribbean, and Latino/as in the United States. His concept of "border gnosis," or sensing and knowing by dwelling in imperial/colonial borderlands, counters the tendency of occidentalist perspectives to manage, and thus limit, understanding. In a new preface that discusses Local Histories/Global Designs as a dialogue with Hegel's Philosophy of History, Mignolo connects his argument with the unfolding of history in the first decade of the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Global Change in Atlantic Coastal Patagonian Ecosystems written by E. Walter Helbling and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-21 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an integrated view of Atlantic coastal Patagonian ecosystems, including the physical environment, biodiversity and the main ecological processes, together with their derived ecosystem services and anthropogenic impacts. It focuses on the key components of the aquatic ecosystem, covering the lower levels (plankton) to the top predators like large mammals and birds, before turning to human beings as consumers and shapers of coastal marine resources. The book then presents an overview of how organisms that constitute the aquatic food webs have changed through time and how they likely will soon change due to global change processes and anthropogenic pressures. In this regard it offers a wealth of information such as long-term patterns in physical / atmospheric processes, biodiversity and the distribution of marine organisms, as well as the results of experimental studies designed to understand their responses under future scenarios shaped by both climate change and anthropogenic pressures. The book also covers various aspects of the past, present and potential future relationship of human beings with Patagonian coastal environments, including the utilization of sea products, tourism, and growth of cities.
Download or read book Alfredo Boulton written by Idurre Alonso and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2023-07-18 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lavishly illustrated volume examines the work of the Venezuelan photographer and art historian Alfredo Boulton, one of the main intellectuals of Latin American modernity. Alfredo Boulton (1908–1995) is considered one of the most important champions of modern art in Venezuela and a key intellectual of twentieth-century modernism. He was a pioneer of modern photography, an art critic, a researcher and historian of Venezuelan art, a friend to many of the great artists and architects of the twentieth century, and an expert on the imagery of the heroes of his country’s independence. Yet, Boulton is shockingly underrecognized outside of his native land. The few exhibitions related to his work have focused exclusively on his photographic production; never has there been a project that looks at the full range of Boulton’s efforts, foregrounding his influence on the shaping of Venezuelan art. This volume addresses these lacunae by analyzing Boulton’s groundbreaking photographic practice, his central role in the construction of a modern national artistic canon, and his influence in formalizing and developing art history and criticism in Venezuela. Based on the extensive materials held in Boulton’s archive at the Getty Research Institute, Alfredo Boulton brings together essays by leading scholars in the field to offer a commanding, original perspective on his contributions to the formation of a distinctive modernity at home and beyond. This volume is published to accompany an exhibition on view at the Getty Research Institute at the Getty Center from August 29, 2023, to January 21, 2024.

Download or read book Resilient Life written by Brad Evans and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-04-10 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to live dangerously? This is not just a philosophical question or an ethical call to reflect upon our own individual recklessness. It is a deeply political issue, fundamental to the new doctrine of ‘resilience’ that is becoming a key term of art for governing planetary life in the 21st Century. No longer should we think in terms of evading the possibility of traumatic experiences. Catastrophic events, we are told, are not just inevitable but learning experiences from which we have to grow and prosper, collectively and individually. Vulnerability to threat, injury and loss has to be accepted as a reality of human existence. In this original and compelling text, Brad Evans and Julian Reid explore the political and philosophical stakes of the resilience turn in security and governmental thinking. Resilience, they argue, is a neo-liberal deceit that works by disempowering endangered populations of autonomous agency. Its consequences represent a profound assault on the human subject whose meaning and sole purpose is reduced to survivability. Not only does this reveal the nihilistic qualities of a liberal project that is coming to terms with its political demise. All life now enters into lasting crises that are catastrophic unto the end.

Included in these pages are aphorisms and townscapes, esoteric meditation and reminiscences of childhood, and reflections on language, psychology, aesthetics and politics.

Download or read book Logos of Phenomenology and Phenomenology of The Logos Book Two written by Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-06-30 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human being is today at the center of scientific, social, ethical and philosophical debates. The Human Condition-in-the-unity-of-everything-there-is-alive, under whose aegis the present selection of essays falls, offers the urgently needed new approach to reinvestigating humanness. While recent advances in the neurosciences, genetics and bio-engineering challenge the traditional abstract conception of "human nature", indicating its transformability, thus putting in question the main tenets of traditional philosophical anthropology, in the new perspective of the Human Creative Condition the human individual is seen in its emergence and unfolding within the dynamic networks of the logos of life, and within the evolution of living types. Just the same, the creative logos of the mind lifts the human person into a sphere of freedom. Within the networks of the logos we retrieve the classical principles – human subject, ego, self, body, soul, person – reinterpret them to counter the naturalistic critique (Tymieniecka). Thus principles of a new philosophical anthropology satisfying the requirements of the present time are laid down.
