The Straussian Reception of Xenophon's Cyropaedia

In 1948, Leo Strauss wrote about Xenophon’s Cyropaedia: “This work has never been studied by modern historians with even a small fraction of the care and concentration it merits and which is needed if it is to disclose its meaning.” Thanks in part to his students, this is no longer true, and this article reviews the Straussian reception of the Cyropaediabetween 1969 and 2015. But it begins with Strauss, who could scarcely have recognized the difficulties involved in disclosing “its meaning” unless that meaning had disclosed itself to him, and it is the elusive nature of that disclosure that has given his students the interpretive freedom to reach conclusions that are sometimes diametrically if not explicitly opposed to Strauss’s own. An investigation of those differences sheds light on both Strauss and his followers, and also on the distinction between Strauss’s interpretive methods and his political philosophy. No less importantly, such an investigation also helps us to better understand Xenophon’s Cyropaedia.

Biopolítica e innovación en la educación: retos en época de poshumanismo

This article asks about the relationship between innovation and education in a post- humanist context. For this purpose, biopolitics is assumed as an interpretive and critical key through the concept of dispositive (understood here as an explanatory mechanism), which will allow evaluating the dynamics of the exercise of power, control and normalization of education through the discourse of innovation. In this way, it is intended to understand innovation in education as a discourse that establishes concrete practices to cope, govern and live reality. Finally, the forms of integration between innovation and education in a specific context, that of post-humanism, are referred to in order to reflect on the functions of the school in this new human habitat and to propose the possibilities of post-human education, in this case, from some postulates of critical pedagogy.

Interpretación, corrección y objetividad: a propósito del fallo “Farina” y los límites a la creatividad interpretativa en la decisión judicial

Law is commonly understood as a system of legal norms that seeks to promote inter-subjective cooperation in order to achieve social peace. Its success depends not only on the existence of a harmonious set of general norms but also on the fact that judges follow a common and uniform interpretive platform. Otherwise, the instrumental value of law would be depreciated. Concerning the problem above, this paper aims to develop a series of objective criteria that judicial decisions should satisfy within the rule of law. In matters of judicial freedom and restriction, the paper attempts to reflect on the possibility to guarantee legal certainty, preserve human rights, and promote respect for dignity.

Literature work can influence humans’ character through the thought process of fiction and fantasy world. Essentially, humans have imaginary thoughts which attached to rational, creative and imaginative resilience system. Philosophy values in literature as a determinant of human thought, as a mechanism to function the gap between reality and experiences. This study starts from three important questions: (1) how philosophy values in literature are used in the real life; (2) what factors determine the success of literature works through philosophy values; and (3) how does the use of philosophy values in literature for transforming the life.

A Lei de Cotas (12.711/12) está sendo efetiva, eficiente e eficaz? Uma análise seguida de proposta de avaliação a luz da Teoria da Administração Pública gerencialista

Resumo Entender como as Leis, projetos públicos, programas sociais estão de fato impactando a sociedade, se estão funcionando e se estão sendo bem avaliados é imperativo para o novo gestor público. A nova administração pública, desde a década de 1980 requer cada vez mais a utilização do conhecimento científico para se validar, e uma das ferramentas para isso é a utilização do modelo de eficiência, eficácia e efetividade. Assim, este trabalho buscou realizar uma análise por essa perspectiva da Lei de Cotas 12.711/12, interpretando trabalhos que a avaliaram. Concluiu-se que a Lei de Cotas tem sido eficaz no que tange a entrada de alunos beneficiados nas IES, e que os cotistas estão tendo rendimento acadêmico similar aos não-cotistas. Todavia, nenhum trabalho abordou corretamente a eficiência e a efetividade, gerando distorções interpretativas da realidade favoráveis a permanência da Lei, fato que este artigo busca mitigar por destrinchar que faltam dados sobre sua efetividade e eficiência. Em paralelo, criou-se uma proposta de modelo de árvore, que permitiria futuras avaliações sobre a Lei.

Estudio de la práctica fotográfica en Cusco en el período de 1897 a 1920

Se propone un estudio de la fotografía cusqueña entre 1897 y 1920, período del que se tiene conocimiento parcial de la actividad fotográfica en esta ciudad andina. Aun cuando los archivos de los fotógrafos de este período están perdidos o no han aparecido hasta la fecha, y aun ante la escasa bibliografía, se procurará precisar acerca de su dinámica comercial y creativa y sobre la relación que pudieron haber tenido entre ellos y con el contexto sociocultural en los años acotados. Se ha empleado una metodología cualitativa con enfoque interpretativo de documentos de época y diseño narrativo para poder hilvanar la información acopiada, con el objetivo de conocer cómo fue el desarrollo de la fotografía en Cusco hasta 1920, año de la llegada del fotógrafo Martín Chambi a esta ciudad. En el estudio, se detecta la actividad de varios fotógrafos, el alcance profesional de sus trabajos en la esfera pública, la oferta de postales y vistas para el turismo, la relación entre proyectos científicos y fotografía, y otros aspectos.

Berilah Aku Minum

Tuhan yang menciptakan perbedaan dan keberagaman. Itu sebabnya tidak dapat dihindari dan dielakkan di dalam persekutuan. Meskipun perbedaan dan keberagaman itu sangat berguna untuk saling melengkapi namun di sisi lain menjadi ancaman dan tantangan serta rintangan dalam membangun hubungan yang baik dengan sesama terutama dalam mewujudkan rencana Tuhan untuk pemberitaan Injil. Penelitian ini dikembangkan dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif yang secara spesifik merujuk kepada studi eksegesis, melalui studi apparatus, analisis dan sintaksis, serta studi narasi interpretative terhadap teks Yohanes 4:7b. Dalam penelitian ini menekankan tentang sikap setiap orang percaya untuk merobohkan tembok pemisah dan membuka diri untuk menerima keberadaan orang lain sehingga pemberitaan Injil dapat terwujud dan tercapai sesuai dengan kehendak Tuhan.

Alianza Anticomunista Argentina. Análisis de su trayectoria y articulaciones represivas

Desde la década de 1980 existe en la sociedad argentina un sentido común sobre la Alianza Anticomunista Argentina (Triple A), que tiende a mirarla como la organización que coordinó la represión ilegal durante el tercer peronismo (1973-1983) y cuyo accionar dependió exclusivamente de los designios del ministro José López Rega. El presente artículo busca problematizar estas interpretaciones a partir de dos ejes temáticos: la trayectoria histórica de la Triple A y las articulaciones establecidas con otros agentes represivos de la época. Dichas temáticas permitirán observar la complejidad de este escuadrón de la muerte desde el carácter procesual de su evolución organizativa y represiva como a partir de los intereses estratégicos que guiaron sus relaciones al interior del entramado represivo. El trabajo muestra cómo la Triple A evolucionó en su estructura y prácticas violentas acorde a los cambios en el contexto político y el proceso represivo contrainsurgente. Además, se formulan tres modelos interpretativos del tipo de articulación sostenida por el escuadrón: compenetración, complementariedad y divergencia.

Voces autorizadas en Twitter durante la pandemia de COVID-19: actores, léxico y sentimientos como marco interpretativo para usuarios ordinarios.

Este trabajo intenta comprender el funcionamiento de las voces autorizadas en Twitter durante la pandemia de COVID-19 y su interacción con los usuarios ordinarios. Se define a las voces autorizadas como usuarios de perfil público que poseen gran cantidad de seguidores, y cuyos mensajes son diseminados masivamente en la plataforma por los usuarios ordinarios. Para ello se recolectó un conjunto de tuits a lo largo de dos meses a través de la API de Twitter, y luego se formó un subconjunto de datos con los tuits replicados más de 100 veces. A este subconjunto se le aplicaron técnicas de etiquetado, minería de datos y análisis de sentimientos. Se observa que el marco interpretativo de la pandemia se encuentra modelado por los medios de comunicación, aunque existen percepciones propias de los usuarios ordinarios acerca de la pandemia como un momento de crisis económica, de salud, política y personal que no se encuentran presentes en las voces autorizadas. Se concluye que los medios de comunicación y los funcionarios de gobierno de primeras líneas son los que lograron mayor adhesión y amplificación de la palabra por parte de los usuarios ordinarios, aunque se observa una brecha de género importante entre las voces de los hombres y las de las mujeres.

Problematique Approach to Analyse Barriers in Implementing Industrial Ecology in Philippine Industrial Parks

Industrial ecology is recognized as an important framework toward a circular economy wherein industrial systems minimize their environmental burden by mimicking the material cycles and energy cascades found in biological ecosystems. Advocates of such framework in planning of eco-industrial parks suggest that both economic and environmental gains can be attained by transforming the industrial production from a linear to a closed loop system. However, it is imperative first to understand and analyze systematically the barriers in implementing the concept of industrial ecology in industrial parks even at the early planning stage. This work thus proposes a problematique approach to understand and analyse such barriers toward a successful development of eco-industrial parks. A problematique is a term coined by Warfield referring to concepts and tools for a structural model of relationships among members of a set of problems. The problematique is shown to be effective in analyzing the structure that underlies problematic situations, thus increasing the potential for crafting solution through human intervention. An illustrative case study was presented using a methodological framework built from Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL), Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) and Analytic Network Process (ANP). Among the identified barriers in an industrial park situated in Philippines, the method reveals the strength and direction of interaction, hierarchical network structure, prioritization of components, and the causal loop mapping to aid stakeholders in systems thinking and problem solving for such complex issues.

IMAGINÁRIO DE PROFISSIONAIS DE SAÚDE SOBRE MÃES DE BEBÊS DISPONÍVEIS PARA SEREM ADOTADOS

Esta pesquisa objetiva investigar o imaginário coletivo de profissionais de saúde sobre mães biológicas de bebês disponíveis para serem adotados, justificando-se na medida em que pode produzir conhecimento clinicamente relevante na área da Psicologia. Articula-se metodologicamente por meio do uso do procedimento de desenhos-estórias com tema em dez entrevistas individuais, registradas sob a forma de narrativas transferenciais. A consideração psicanalítica do material permitiu a produção interpretativa de dois campos de sentido afetivo-emocional: “mãe vítima” e “mãe desnaturada”. O quadro indica a coexistência de imaginário conservador, baseado na condenação da mulher, com imaginário mais compreensivo e solidário, de reconhecimento das adversidades enfrentadas por pessoas que vivem em situações de precariedade social que dificultam o cuidado dos filhos. Quando comparados com outras pesquisas, os resultados encontrados podem ser pensados como indícios de que uma mudança no imaginário dos profissionais se encontra em curso.
