Democratizar la democracia: el programa descolonizador del cosmopolitismo subalterno

En este trabajo presentamos dos formas en las que puede enunciarse un programa descolonizador en el cosmopolitismo subalterno, la plataforma crítica de Boaventura de Sousa Santos. Partiendo de la crítica a una modernidad en confluencia con el capitalismo, enmarcamos este programa como una práctica descolonizadora frente a las pulsiones fascistas de la sociedad. Para conseguir este propósito explicaremos la manera en la que la modernidad extendió la desigualdad y la exclusión como mecanismo de integración, estableciendo una racionalidad colonial de límites radicales. El programa descolonizador del cosmopolitismo subalterno representa, frente a este pensamiento colonial, un campo de ampliación e intensificación democrática basada en un principio ético, político y epistemológico fundamental identificado con la ecología de saberes y las epistemologías del Sur.

Lectura comparada de dos obras de literatura juvenil y sus implicaciones didácticas: Elvira Lindo y Richmal Crompton

Se presenta una investigación de tipo bibliográfico y teórico, por medio de la cual emprendemos un ejercicio de hermenéutica comparatista, utilizando como corpus las series de literatura juvenil Manolito Gafotas, de Elvira Lindo, y Guillermo Brown, de Richmal Crompton. Se propone este tipo de ejercicios como una alternativa didáctica interdisciplinar que, lejos de ser un planteamiento historicista basado en el conocimiento memorístico de la literatura, facilita el desarrollo de la competencia literaria y del intertexto lector, procurando la formación integral del individuo. Finalmente, la interpretación y valoración de las obras en relación con su contexto histórico y literario ofrece al alumnado nuevos modos de lectura que lo motiven y lleven a una mayor comprensión de los textos y del cosmopolitismo intercultural en el que vivimos.

Cosmopolitanism and Clothing Interest Determinants Amongst College Students of Delhi

Globalization has led to the development of cosmopolitan ideology amongst Indians. However, there are limited studies on the impact of this developing ideology on clothing interest dimensions amongst Indian consumers, especially for the specific age category that forms the subject matter of this study. The purpose of the present study was to confirm the relationship between cosmopolitanism (COS) and clothing interest determinants viz: Interest in clothing as experimenting with appearance (ICEA), Interest in clothing awareness (ICA), and Innovative style of clothing (ISC) amongst college students. The present research also studied the gender differences in these constructs. The quantitative approach was used using standardized constructs. Data were collected from college students of Delhi, India. Confirmatory factor analysis was done to confirm the tool validity and reliability, followed by correlation analysis. Results showed a significant positive relation between cosmopolitanism and two determinants of clothing interest, i.e. ICEA and ICA. However, no significant correlation was found between COS and ISC. A significant degree of relation between COS and ICEA was found only amongst males. The present study is going to help designers, manufacturers, marketers, and advertisers in understanding their niche consumers better in terms of clothing interest, which will ultimately help them in manufacturing clothes as per consumers’ interest and developing business strategies accordingly.

DOSSIÊS DA ABDC E TCI: CARTOGRAFIA DOS ENUNCIADOS DISCURSIVOS AGENCIADOS NAS TEMÁTICAS DOS ARTIGOS

Analisa práticas discursivas do periódico Transnational Curriculum Inquiry, no período de 2010 a 2016, e dos dossiês organizados pela Associação Brasileira de Currículo, publicados nos periódicos e-Curriculum, Currículo sem Fronteiras e Teias, entre 2012 e 2016. Objetiva mapear as temáticas abordadas nos artigos. Utiliza como metodologia a análise da discursividade, a partir do mapeamento cartográfico-discursivo, problematizando os enunciados que marcaram os discursos dos autores, as temáticas que emergem nesses discursos, as regularidades e irregularidades que os marcam e quais são as aproximações entre os discursos manifestados nos quatro periódicos. Apresenta um agrupamento com 34 eixos temáticos, com destaque para: as políticas educacionais atuais e suas implicações para a escola, o trabalho docente e o currículo; a profissionalização docente, currículo e formação de professor; temas contemporâneos como cosmopolitismo, transnacionalização, desconstrução e reconceitualização curricular, multiculturalismo, diversidade cultural, políticas de inclusão, diferenças, gênero, feminismo e sexualidade. Destaca, ainda, trabalhos relacionados à Base Nacional Curricular Comum; ao currículo-afeto, currículo-redes de conversações coletivas e produção de desejo; às relações entre currículo, cultura, cotidiano, diferenças, entre outros. As temáticas abordadas nos artigos retratam o movimento histórico, político, educacional e econômico em que estamos imersos e são reveladoras da organização molar que tenta se impor, mas apontam que isso não impede as afecções, os afetos felizes, os bons encontros, as energias moleculares, as linhas de fuga. Mostram que sempre vaza alguma coisa. Há sempre algo que escapa à máquina de sobrecodificação. Os artigos são reveladores desse movimento.

Bayer: Modernization and Cosmopolitism against the Health Raiders

Segun Adorno y Horkheimer, la publicidad es el elixir del capitalismo, es decir, el analisis del discurso y la industria publicitaria es fundamental para comprender la convergencia de fuerzas economicas, imaginarios sociales, identidades culturales y la cultura material que se deriva de ellas. En las primeras decadas del siglo XX, en el Diario de Costa Rica, Bayer es una de las marcas que destaca por publicitar productos acompanados de elaboradas ilustraciones y detalladas narraciones. Estas piezas publicitarias describen el sofisticado ethos moderno, caracterizado por un progreso cosmopolita que ofrece tanto nuevos placeres como nuevas preocupaciones y dolencias. Sin embargo, en piezas de similar formato a las anteriores, tambien se alerta a los consumidores sobre la preocupante circulacion de preparaciones no autorizadas o falsificadas que atentan contra la salud de quienes, enganados, son victima de los “salteadores de la salud”. Este articulo analiza un conjunto de piezas publicitarias de 1920 que dialogan y compiten con publicidad de otros medicamentos contemporaneos de diferente procedencia. La perspectiva metodologica combina los estudios visuales con el analisis critico del discurso, mientras que la perspectiva teorica se basa en los estudios de cultura material, historia del consumo y teoria critica.

How inter-country similarities moderate the effects of consumer ethnocentrism and cosmopolitanism in out-group country perceptions

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine how consumer ethnocentrism (CET) and cosmopolitanism (COS) may affect Asian consumers’ perceptions of out-group countries and their products, doing so by examining similar vs dissimilar countries across countries of origin. Given the strong inter-country rivalries that exist among Asian countries, the authors propose two alternative hypotheses, drawing from social identity theory and realistic group conflict theory.Design/methodology/approachTo test the hypotheses, the authors examine consumer perceptions of both Western countries (dissimilar out-groups) and Asian countries (similar out-groups) within China (Study 1). In addition, the authors investigate how CET and COS affect consumer perceptions of Asian countries in Japan and in non-Asian dissimilar countries, and compare the effects between the two regions (Study 2).FindingsThe findings indicate that CET shows greater negative effects on perceptions of a country and its products, when the country is from a similar out-group than when it is from a dissimilar one. On the other hand, COS showed equally strong positive effects among consumers for both similar and dissimilar out-group countries.Research limitations/implicationsThe results suggest that Asian consumers feel a sense of intergroup rivalry with other Asian countries, and, as a result, exhibit a greater degree of ethnocentric biases toward these countries and their products than they do toward Western countries and products. Also, the results suggest that COS may transcend national differences and inter-country rivalries in consumer consumption tendencies.Originality/valueThe study examines inter-country similarities as a moderator of CET and COS effects, which has not been extensively researched in the past. In addition, the study discusses the concept of intergroup rivalry among neighboring countries and examines how it affects consumer perceptions of out-group countries and their products in Asia, where strong inter-country rivalries exist.

Il perpetuum mobile del desiderio Cox di Christoph Ransmayr e la raffigurazione letteraria del cosmopolitismo settecentesco tra esotismo e vanità

The article sets out to analyse Christoph Ransmayr’s latest novel Cox oder Der Lauf der Zeit (2016) in the light of recent criticism. The complex relationship between 18th-century cosmopolitanism and its fictional adaptation features prominently in the novel. Our focus is upon the making of characters’ identities, the literary and visual techniques of narration (especially intertextual allusions and ekphrasis), and the coalescence of time, decay and desire as displayed in the novel.
