However divergent their analyses may be in other ways, some prominent anti-capitalist critics have remained critical of contemporary debates over reparative justice for groups historically oppressed and marginalized on the basis of race, gender, sexual identity, sexual preference, and/or ability, arguing that the most these struggles can hope to produce is a more diversity-friendly capital. Meanwhile, scholars of gender and sexuality as well as race...

In a world of political upheaval, rising inequality, catastrophic climate change, and widespread doubt of even the most authoritative sources of information, is there a place for critique? This book calls for a systematic reappraisal of critical thinking-its assumptions, its practices, its genealogy, its predicament-following the principle that critique can only start with self-critique.
In A Time for Critique, Didier Fassin, Bernard E. Harcourt,...

We live in critical times. We face a global crisis in economics and finance, a global ecological crisis, and a constant barrage of international disputes. Perhaps most dishearteningly, there seems to be little faith in our ability to address such difficult problems. However, there is also a more positive sense in which these are critical times. The world's current state of flux gives us a unique window of opportunity for shaping a new international...

En algunos casos la música fue compuesta expresamente para recordar a individuos, como en el caso de la Música para los funerales de la reina Mary de Purcell. O puede ser parte de un servicio litúrgico, como en el caso de los réquiem. En un funeral militar los "toques" señalan la muerte de un soldado. Un rasgo frecuente de estas composiciones es una música solemne, pausada y lenta apropiada para el estado mental nostálgico, melancólico y de...

I am proud to introduce a new issue of the POIESIS journal during this critical period of human existence. As populations all over the world are threatened, we have to ask ourselves: What is worth saving? What is worth our dedication? The threat of futility hangs over us all. We have our daily lives and our routines, we strive to keep a semblance of normality during this abnormal time, but despair, the absence of hope, is always present.
When we began...

El triunfo de la voluntad se distinguió de esas otras películas de propaganda nazi por dos razones. Primero, porque está extremadamente bien hecha (y el hecho de que es un excelente trabajo de propaganda es en parte lo que la hace tan perturbadora.) Pero la película es más que propaganda de primera clase. También es una obra de arte. Un trabajo de imaginación creadora y estilística formalmente innovador, cada uno de sus detalles contribuye...

Art has a way of raising questions. Since 2009 the Guggenheim Forum has pondered how themes from art affect life outside the museum's walls: What is the role of spirituality in contemporary life? What is reality in the virtual era? And what's in a name? By bringing together writers, scientists, artists, and other experts from diverse fields, the Guggenheim Forum examines complex topics from all points of view, stimulating a lively dialogue among panelists....

¿Pueden las películas transformar la realidad en ficción y la ficción en realidad? ¿Es el cine una fuente para aprender derecho y para tener mejores abogados? ¿Las películas pueden educar? El cine entretiene, cuestiona, divierte, pregunta. También puede servir como propaganda política o en general influir en la formación de las ideas, pero además promueve la reflexión sobre el rol que cumple el derecho en la historia.

The format of this book is arbitrary and exact, the way paint is in a landscape by Alex Colville. It follows the program of the symposium that took place at the University of Ottawa, from April 25 to 27, 1986.
As Bakhtin leaps from the sidelines to centre stage, as Derrida clambers out of orchestra pit into the prompter's box, and Lancan swings from the flies, as Foucault, Lévi-Strauss, Saussure, Barthes, and a throng of others rhubarb their way...

By investigating the relationship between acoustical technologies and twentieth-century experimental poetics, this collection, with an accompanying compact disc, aims to 'turn up the volume' on printed works and rethink the way we read, hear, and talk about literary texts composed after telephones, phonographs, radios, loudspeakers, microphones, and tape recorders became facts of everyday life.
The collection's twelve essays focus on earplay in...

Theory of Mind is what enables us to "put ourselves in another's shoes." It is mindreading, empathy, creative imagination of another's perspective: in short, it is simultaneously a highly sophisticated ability and a very basic necessity for human communication. Theory of Mind is central to such commercial endeavors as market research and product development, but it is also just as important in maintaining human relations over a cup of coffee. Not...

Con frecuencia se olvida, cuando no se ignora, que Jean-Jacques Rousseau fue músico y teórico de la música. Como compositor le debemos principalmente dos óperas-ballets y un centenar de canciones, publicadas por su último benefactor, el marqués de Girardin, tres años después de su muerte en julio de 1778 con el título de 'Les Consolations des misères de ma vie'. Los textos del ginebrino sobre filosofía de la música y del lenguaje, no sólo...
