Violencia, memoria y arquitectura. Las formas de objetivación de la memoria de los acontecimientos violentos del último siglo en el espacio

El espacio constituye un dispositivo fundamental en la articulación, reproducción y transformación de la memoria. Efectivamente resulta muy difícil evocar algún suceso sin que se piense en el lugar donde ha acaecido. En la historia contemporánea se construyen lugares para aludir sucesos memorables, crear la ilusión de la permanencia, continuidad y perdurabilidad frente al avasallante transcurso del tiempo y el inevitable cambio. Los conflictos violentos, los sucesos bélicos, las víctimas y los pueblos avasallados han sido en el último siglo objeto de conmemoración mediante la construcción de símbolos y contenedores de su historia. Objetivada en formas de monumentos, memoriales, museos, espacio público y paisaje, la memoria precisa del espacio. En este artículo se examinan las distintas formas de objetivación de la memoria intersubjetiva en el espacio siendo los actos violentos en el último siglo el objeto de la conmemoración

This paper discusses visual art in the context of a project for aphatic people and their family members. The project was carried out to enhance the participants’ capability for artistic expression and especially to enable them to experience visual art as a means of interaction in two different settings. In the first case, the interaction was realized through the artistic effort of individual participants working with visual material that functioned as a starting point for their work. In the second case, the artistic effort was shared interactively by two participants, primarily in a linguistically asymmetrical setting where one participant's linguistic competence was weakened due to a stroke followed by aphasia. The art worksare discussed here from the artistic and philosophical points of view, revealing possible interactional elements and meanings. Moreover, based on the observed artistic inspiration and findings, the article discusses the possibilities and implications of visual art in aphasia therapy, focusing on some linguistic aspects and the nature of visual and pictorial elements. Finally, directions for further research are outlined for a better insight of the phenomenon of visual intersubjectivity in this special setting, thus opening new paths for research concerning visual art, linguistics, and aphasia.

A Brief Explanation of the Price of Money

Our aim is to explain the purchasing power of money based on the theory of subjective value and based on the direct application of the law of diminishing marginal utility to money. The paper follows the criticism of the Mises’s attempt to explain the problem by the concept of regression theorem presented in Posvanc (2020b). The basic line of explanation which has to be followed to explain the problem in question within the theory of subjective value will be as follows: the human subject (in the case of money human subjects) – a valuation – a scale of needs – an act of exchange – a price of money as inverse exchange ratio of money and goods. Our explanation starts with some present time inconsistencies concerning the explanation of economic phenomena “over time” and related problem of value homogeneity. To explain phenomena “over time” is crucial for money because we use money over time as a basic anchor for mutual understanding among economic agents. It will be shown that to explain the phenomenon of price of money we need to make some modifications to the theory of subjective value to be applicable over time and to define some homogenous concepts men are dealing with when act. Presented solution will be based than on three theories which explain a) intersubjective valuation of money, b) economic calculation without money and evolution of money-goods concept and c) explanation of the essence of the interest as an intersubjective phenomenon.

Traveling in Lifeworlds: New Perspectives on (Post) Humanism, Situated Subjectivities, and Agency from a Travel Diary

This article argues for building bridges between humanistic geographical traditions and current posthumanistic approaches destabilizing the centrality and the very epistemological status of the human subject. Extending and putting in relation recent literature highlighting the possible continuities over the ruptures between these traditions and feminist scholarship arguing for the political relevancy of intimate writings and emotional geographies, I analyze an exceptional archival document recently discovered in the Anne Buttimer archives at University College Dublin: Buttimer’s travel diary relating her 1965 and 1966 trips to France and continental Europe, when she began to build her transnational and multilingual scholarly networks. Buttimer was one of the first geographers to explore “lifeworlds,” and this document simultaneously reveals the emotional experiences of discovery and the role played in that by circumstances and external agencies decentering and problematizing subjective intentionality. These journeys profoundly affected Buttimer’s early scholarly career, leading to her first critical questionings of the institutions in which she was inserted. Complementing recent claims for a “new humanism” taking onboard the critiques coming from scholars informed by “anti/posthumanism,” I argue that the mobility, situatedness, and relational nature of in-becoming subjects, at the same time acting and being acted on, allows for reconsidering human subjectivity and agency in more complex contexts. The document that I analyze shows how human subjectivity can be considered as an actor in relational and circumstantial encounters, contextually building lifeworlds, rather than a despotic monopolist of knowledge and agency as suggested by some simplified narratives.

Love, War, and the Other in Emmanuel Levinas, Jacques Derrida, and Michael Ondaatje: The English Patient as the Dialogic Field

Michael Ondaatje's The English Patient (1992) has been celebrated for its dramatic scenario tying together themes of espionage, nationalism and traumatic love during the Second World War. Seeking to extend the novel's most commonly explored topics regarding the problem of Western humanism and the characters' troubled identities, this article offers an ethical examination of it. It brings Ondaatje's novel into a dialogue with Levinas's response to the dead end of humanistic enterprise in the West, by critically drawing on the three writers' discussion of face, patience, and eros as conduits through which a removal of ontological aggrandizement of the self is envisioned. Derrida's criticism of Carl Schmitt, on the other hand, helps direct Levinas's thread of thought toward a more contextualized interrogation of the friend/enemy dualism in wartime, during which the other is separated only to be assimilated. For Ondaatje, registering his characters' affective mobility of identity in transit invites readers to contemplate the long-held self-sustaining system in the West. Delving into the approaching death faced by Almasy and Katharine, Ondaatje considers the act of mourning as a gesture marking a specific manner of bearing responsibility-a form of responsibility for others that goes beyond existentialist accounts of intersubjectivity. This consideration of the act of mourning is shared by Levinas and Derrida, relating as it does to the ways in which they regard mourning as a reflection of time in patience and as an ethical reaction to the aggressive practices of homogenization that results from the self's one-way communication with the other.

Holism, conceptual role, and conceptual similarity

ABSTRACTHolistic views of content claim that we each speak and think in distinct and idiosyncratic idiolects: although we may often entertain thoughts with similar contents, the content of our thoughts can never be type-identical. Many authors find this feature of holism problematic. Denying that two subjects can share thought content seems to lead to difficulties when it comes to providing accounts of various intersubjective phenomena, such as communication and disagreement. A common holist response is to claim that explanations of these phenomena should appeal to conceptual similarity rather than shared content. To make this approach plausible, holists must provide an account of what it is for two concepts to be similar. Fodor and Leporeargue that this cannot be done: accounts of conceptual similarity (across non-identical networks) must presuppose a robust notion of conceptual identity, and this is inconsistent with the holist’s view. In this paper, I provide an account of conceptual similarity for theories of content that are both fully holistic and purely internalist. I argue that similarities between the perceptual representations that are connected to holistic networks can be used to ground comparisons of conceptual similarity without appeal to either robust conceptual identity or the external world.

A Study on the Ideological and Political Education of Inter-Subjectivity in Colleges and Universities in the Era of New Media

Under the background of the new media era, teenagers, especially college students, have pushed the new media to a blowout development trend. This provides opportunities and challenges for the development of Ideological and political education in Colleges and universities. Inter subjectivity ideological and political education is the frontier issue in the discipline of Ideological and political education, which embodies the Marxist theory of subject human and the Marxist concept of communication practice. In the era of new media, the research on the ideological and political education among the main bodies of colleges and universities is a reasonable choice to conform to the trend of the times. Ideological and political education in Colleges and universities can be effectively developed on the platform of new media.

Figuras autoficcionales de la “memoria herida” en la dramaturgia argentina posdictatorial

En las diferentes cartografías de la dramaturgia argentina posdictatorial es factible observar, entre múltiples lineamientos poéticos, un eje morfotemático constante: la indagación en la “memoria herida” (Ricoeur) según las representaciones genealógicas de los vínculos madre/hija o abuela/nieta. Estas relaciones intersubjetivas se proyectan, por ejemplo, en prácticas teatrales autoficcionales, cristalizadas en identidades femeninas que operan como puentes estéticos hacia lo ominoso del tiempo pasado. Por consiguiente, este artículo se propone analizar y comparar –desde una perspectiva descentralizada– los procedimientos dramatúrgicos y figuras autoficcionales representativas de dos regiones marginales en los discursos historiográficos dominantes: 1) en el Noreste Argentino, la obra Jamuychis… el grito (2002) de Patricia García y Flavia Molina; 2) en la Patagonia Argentina, el texto de Pewma-Sueño (2007) de Miriam Álvarez. Este estudio permitirá reconocer los posicionamientos identitarios y poéticos de mujeres artistas que optan por estrategias escénicas de autoficción, con el fin de comprender –según palabras de Ricoeur– aquel pasado que se confunde con el presente.

THE PROBLEM OF INTERSUBJECTIVITY REALIZATION IN CONFLICT FICTION DISCOURSE

The article focuses on the problem of intersubjectivity realization in different conflict communicative situations in Modern English fictional discourse with regard to specificity of conflict discourse, its nonlinear dynamics and development, the main communicative types of ending the conflict, realized through a definite set of strategies and tactics, communicative styles and climate as necessary condition of intersubjectivity actualization. The paper discusses the phenomenon of intersubjectivity and studies communicative correlation between the intersubjective competence of the communicants and types of ending the conflict via verbal and nonverbal means of communication. The paper aims to determine how the intersubjective competence may influence the development and results of conflict communication in fictional discourse. Also what strategies and tactics it may determine, how the key intersubjective concept of “self and other” may be maintained or violated under the influence of situational and behavioral factors in conflict fiction discourse, what language means are used to realize shared responsibility in conflict communicative situations. To achieve this, a semiological approach to the intersubjective approaches paradigm is applied, together with the conversation analysis elements, discourse analysis, pragmalinguistic analysis, and the verbal and nonverbal module study in conflict fictional discourse. The obtained results indicate that analysis of the nonverbal means in conflict fiction discourse and it focuses on multimodal studies enables to get a true picture of the role of nonverbal conflict-management and mode in the actual and potential intersubjectivity realization which in correlation with its pragmatic impact and some social and psychological features contribute to the influence on the process of conflict development and resolution.

Investigando las influencias internacionales en las ciencias sociales argentinas

Este artículo lleva a cabo un análisis empírico del estilo de investigación en las ciencias sociales en Argentina basado en las publicaciones más citadas de la/os investigadora/es del Conicet de las áreas de ciencia política y sociología. A partir de un corpus de 760 artículos, se testean estadísticamente una serie de hipótesis sobre el vínculo entre formación doctoral, estilo de investigación y la adopción de metodologías. El trabajo efectúa aportes en relación al debate sobre la hegemonía en los estilos de investigación en el sur global. Encontramos que predomina la metodología cualitativa, pero con un impacto notable de la formación en EE.UU. sobre el uso del análisis cuantitativo y los estudios comparados. Mostramos asimismo hallazgos novedosos en el vínculo entre elección metodológica y reconocimiento intersubjetivo.

Marisa Galvez, The Intersubjective Performance of Confession vs. Courtly Profession

Centre sur la “culture de la confession” qui se met en place au xiiie siecle, et qui trouve son expression officielle dans le Quatrieme Concile du Latran (1215), cet article de Marisa Galvez examine, d’une part, la chanson de Croisade Aler m’estuet du Châtelain d’Arras (premier quart du xiiie siecle), de l’autre deux recits edifiants, Le Chevalier au Barisel et Fornication imitee (xiiie siecle). La chanson essaie de reconcilier amour courtois et action militaire dans un but chretien, alors qu...

La experiencia musical en el jardín maternal

La experiencia musical en la infancia temprana es un campo de estudio que está siendo desarrollado con aportes de la psicología cognitiva y la psicología de la música. En el ámbito educacional, se presenta aún un área de vacancia. Se considera fundamental dar lugar a la vivencia de la música como arte temporal y experiencia estética, como conocimiento en sí mismo y no subsumido a otros campos de conocimiento, entendiéndola desde una mirada multimodal, intersubjetiva, situada y corporeizada.

Сучасна філософія визнання: «комунікативна утопія» чи реальний соціальний проект?

У статті проаналізовано сучасні філософські дискурси реальних механізмів, способів взаємозв’язку ідентичності та визнання в контексті «усвідомлення несправедливості», «патологій» суспільного буття. А також показано, що, на відміну від переважно монологічних ідей визнання П. Рікера, Ч. Тейлора та «комунікативної утопії» Ю. Габермаса, Т. Ренч і А. Гонет пропонують його інтерсуб’єк-тивний, реалістичний концепт. Важливою ознакою останнього стало розширення «перспективи справедливості», подолання її звуженого варіанту через звернення до «іншого справедливості», до визнання та турботи. Таким чином, А. Гонет пропонує доповнити моральний принцип однакового ставлення до людей нормою конкретного обов’язку щодо окремої людини, яка потребує допомоги. Підсумовуючи осмислення проблеми визнання в сучасній філософії, автор наголошує на значенні створення А. Гонетом теорії визнання в річищі теорії свободи і справедливості. Відомий німецький мислитель у такий спосіб прагне реабілітувати основні настанови соціальної філософії Франкфуртської школи з метою пошуків адекватних шляхів подолання розмаїтих проявів соціальної несправедливості, приниження, зневаги людської гідності. І має це відбуватися на засадах осягнення внутрішнього потенціалу самого феномена визнання як принципово важливої (насамперед для вітчизняного простору) можливості узгодження формально-легітимних інституційних його структур зі справжнім визнанням їх як справедливих. З метою перетворення свого бачення визнання з «комунікативної утопії» на дієвий соціальний проект А. Гонет намагається переомислити ідеї Дж. Ролза, Н. Фрейзер, доповнити етику дискурсу розлогою теорією визнання та етикою турботи.

Phenomenology of Social Integration and Social Exclusion. An Essential Task of Political Collective Agency

In this paper the author is going to talk about an essential task of political agency: social integration. He analyzes it from a phenomenological perspective, identifying its essential elements in order to achieve an eidetic view of it. The author roots the analysis of social integration in a stratified view of the social world that appears essentially composed of four different forms of social interaction: community interaction, characterized by solidarity relationships; territorial interaction, characterized by “conflicting” relationships (polemos); social interaction, based on standard models of behavior; and institutional interaction, based on laws that govern the public life. Social integration is stratified into these four forms of intersubjective life and is fully achieved only if it allows a real state of belonging and an actual participation in each of them. The policy plays a crucial role because integration is often a critical process that can cause social conflicts and that can not simply be left to the sensibility and will of those who live in the various contexts. Political agency should coordinate normative and cultural actions, so that norms are not simply imposed, but are assimilated by a citizenship aware of the social, ethical and political value of integration.
