El último feminismo: hacia la subversión de la diferencia

This article intends to think a feminist theory in the speculative context that starts with the Hegelian metaphysics and continues with the French post-Hegelianism of J. Derrida, G. Deleuze and M. Foucault among others. The great challenge of these authors –and with them the great challenge of our time– consists in deconstructing the binary logic which has dominated western thought and culture, in order to overcome the political and social exclusion promoted by it. In this context lies the femininity-masculinity dualism, whose overcoming we prefer to think as the intrinsic implication of a new relational and dynamic, multiple and concrete identity

The vertical structure of upper ocean variability at the Porcupine Abyssal Plain during 2012-2013

This study presents the characterization of variability in temperature, salinity and oxygen concentration, including the vertical structure of the variability, in the upper 1000m of the ocean over a full year in the northeast Atlantic. Continuously profiling ocean gliders with vertical resolution between 0.5-1m provide more information on temporal variability throughout the water column than time series from moorings with sensors at a limited number of fixed depths. The heat, salt and dissolved oxygen content are quantified at each depth. While the near surface heat content is consistent with the net surface heat flux, heat content of the deeper layers is driven by gyre-scale water mass changes. Below ~150m, heat and salt content display intraseasonal variability which has not been resolved by previous studies. A mode-1 baroclinic internal tide is detected as a peak in the power spectra of water mass properties. The depth of minimum variability is at ~415m for both temperature and salinity, but this is a depth of high variability for oxygen concentration. The deep variability is dominated by the intermittent appearance of Mediterranean Water, which shows evidence of filamentation. Susceptibility to salt fingering occurs throughout much of the water column for much of the year. Between about 700-900m, the water column is susceptible to diffusive layering, particularly when Mediterranean Water is present. This unique ability to resolve both high vertical and temporal resolution highlights the importance of intraseasonal variability in upper ocean heat and salt content, variations that may be aliased by traditional observing techniques

Anaesthetic management of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) occlusion using an Amplatz canine duct occluder (ACDO) in a dog

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is one of the most common diagnosed congenital disease in dogs that usually causes heart failure and death unless corrected at a young age. A 2.5-year-old female intact Coton de Tuléar was referred and diagnosed with a left to right shunt PDA. Closure of the PDA was performed via a minimally invasive approach by means of an Amplatz canine duct occluder device. In this case report, we describe a successful anaesthetic protocol that included premedication using a combination of acepromazine and methadone, induction with propofol and midazolam and maintenance with isoflurane in oxygen, as well as a lidocaine constant rate constant rate infusion for intraoperative analgesic and cardiovascular support. This protocol provided excellent intraoperative cardiopulmonary stability and a smooth and rapid recovery

Vie traverse del machiavellismo nella storia del pensiero politico : riflessioni e spunti di ricerca in margine ai lavori del convegno

L'indefinibilità della storia e del concetto stesso di machiavellismo, confermata dalla relazione inaugurale di Enzo Baldini, inducono lo storico del pensiero politico a fare alcune considerazioni e commenti relativi al suo specifico campo di ricerca, per il quale la presente nota intende sia circoscrivere il machiavellismo proprio di Machiavelli quale si evince dalle sue pagine, sia i modi e i metodi con cui le idee machiavelliane vengono utilizzate e adattate a situazioni storiche particolari. Le osservazioni vengono illustrate ed esemplificate con riferimento a testi e relazioni presentate nel convegno.The indefinability of history and the concept of Machiavellianism itself, confirmed by the inaugural account made by Enzo Baldini, lead the historian of political thought to make some considerations and comments about their particular field of research, for which the present note hopes to both define Machiavelli's own Machiavellianism according to that which emerges from his pages and the ways and methods with which Machiavelli's ideas are used and adapted to specific historical situations. The observations made are illustrated and examples are provided with references to texts and accounts made in the congress

En el nombre de la madre: hacia un paradigma pospatriarcal

During more than 3000 years, patriarchal religions have symbolized a sociopolitical and ideological system, which dominated the history of the word up today. Nevertheless, since at least 2 centuries, the thinking and culture are announcing the death of God Father, and inquiring the destiny of the future humanity. The current paper aims at showing why the Great Goddess Mather symbolized the Other Name, in which subjectivity and culture have begun to pronounce themselves.Durante más de 3000 años, las religiones patriarcales han simbolizado un sistema socio-político e ideológico, que dominó hasta hoy la historia universal. Sin embargo, desde hace por lo menos dos siglos, el pensamiento y la cultura vienen anunciando la muerte del Dios Padre e indagando el destino de la humanidad futura. El presente trabajo intentará mostrar por qué la Gran Diosa Madre simboliza el Otro Nombre, en el cual la subjetividad y la cultura han comenzado a pronunciarse

From Schelling to Kierkegaard, when the freedom became infinite potency

El presente artículo intentará mostrar por qué, en nuestra opinión, el concepto kierkegaardiano de libertad, entendida como «posibilidad infinita de poder», hunde sus raíces en la noción de «potencia infinita», que Schelling explicaba a Kierkegaard en sus Lecciones de Berlín. En efecto, ambas categorías coinciden en un dinamismo dialéctico, que comienza en la inmediatez indeterminada de lo posible, se afirma en su propia acción negadora y se supera en una tercera potencia absoluta, sintética y recíproca.El presente artículo intentará mostrar por qué, en nuestra opinión, el concepto kierkegaardiano de libertad, entendida como «posibilidad infinita de poder», hunde sus raíces en la noción de «potencia infinita», que Schelling explicaba a Kierkegaard en sus Lecciones de Berlín.

In fact, both categories coincide in a dialectical dynamism, that begins in the indeterminate immediacy of possible, affirms itself in its own negative action, and overcomes in a third absolute potency, synthetic and reciprocal

La inocencia del origen: Continuum materno, parto y libertad

La conciencia falogocéntrica se funda en el a priori incondicional de carácter ético-metafísico que sostiene la criminalización universal del ser como efecto de una culpa o caída original. Nacer supone para esta conciencia un pecado y la realidad material representa para ella un lugar de exilio, extrañeza y alienación. Sin embargo, cuando uno retrocede sobre la protohistoria de la conciencia humana, sorprende la determinación de integridad y sacralidad que el pensamiento primitivo le atribuye a lo real. Para la conciencia primitiva, la realidad nace en el parto de un seno infinito que la alimenta, cobija y bendice sus propios frutos. En lo que sigue, intentaremos remontarnos a la protohistoria de esta conciencia a fin de reconsiderar las condiciones de posibilidad de la inocencia metafísica y ética, o bien, el modo de ser de la inocencia original

Maternal action and social action: the case United States

El objetivo del presente trabajo consiste en analizar las principales configuraciones teóricas y prácticas del maternalismo social y político tal como este se produjo en los Estados Unidos de América entre fines del s. XIX y principios del s. XX, para reaparecer nuevamente entre fines del s. XX y principios del s. XXI. En particular, intentaremos mostrar la alianza entre la acción materna ejercida en los límites privados de la familia nuclear y la acción materna extendida al ámbito sociopolítico de la comunidad local y nacional, alianza de la cual ha nacido, a nuestro juicio, la acción y el trabajo social estadounidense.This paper aims to analyzing the main theoretical and practical forms of social and political maternalism as it occurred in the United States between the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century, and again between the late twentieth century and the early twentyfirst century. In particular, I will try to show the alliance between maternal action exerted in the private boundaries of the nuclear family, and the maternal care extended to the socio-political context of local and national community, alliance of which was born, in my view, the American social action and social work.Fil: Binetti, María José.

Cristianismo sin cristianismo en la filosofía kierkegaardiana de la religión

Kierkegaard se entendió a sí mismo como un pensador religioso, llamado a refundar el cristianismo sobre la base de la singularidad existente. El cristianismo que él profesa y defiende no tiene que ver con el Cristo histórico, ni con la Iglesia y sus dogmas, sino que se constituye dialécticamente por la autoconciencia misma de la subjetividad, devenida absoluta. Las siguientes páginas intentarán explicar por qué tal concepción, lejos de ser compatible con la ortodoxia cristiana, introduce una nueva conciencia religiosa, que podríamos llamar –por semejanza posmoderna– “cristianismo sin cristianismo”Kierkegaard understood himself as a religious thinker, called to refound Christianity on the basis of existent singularity. The conception of Christianity Kierkegaaard believes and supports, has not to do with the historical Christ, neither the Church nor its dogmas, but it constitutes dialectically by the selfconscious subjectivity become absolute. The following pages aim at explaining why that conception, far from being compatible with orthodox Christianity, introduces a new religious consciousness, which I could call –in consonance with Posmodernity– “Christianity without Christianity”Fil: Binetti, María José.
