Las ideas estéticas de Marx

$10.80

$10.80
From:Librisite

Document Overview:

En el presente libro se analizan las ideas estéticas fundamentales de Marx, poco conocidas y estudiadas en nuestros medios y, partiendo de ellas, se abordan algunas cuestiones estéticas vitales para una estética marxista. Los problemas estéticos suscitan cada vez mayor interés entre los investigadores marxistas. Ello responde a diversos motivos. Uno es la necesidad general de superar en este campo como en otros las concepciones dogmáticas y sectarias que dominaron en los años de deformaciones stalinianas —teóricas y prácticas— del marxismo. No hay que olvidar que en el terreno de la teoría y la práctica artísticas esas deformaciones adquirieron una particular gravedad. Otro motivo es la elevación cada vez mayor de la importancia de los problemas estéticos a medida que se enriquece el contenido del marxismo y se acentúa cada vez más su carácter humanista real, dentro del cual la relación estética con la realidad es una relación esencial para el hombre. A las exigencias anteriores hay que agregar la necesidad de superar viejos enfoques unilaterales de los fenómenos artísticos de nuestro tiempo. Independientemente del lugar que le concedamos desde un punto de vista histórico-social, como parte de una supraestructura ideológica, y del valor que le atribuyamos en un plano estético, el arte moderno es un hecho rico, complejo y contradictorio al que no podemos acercarnos con los criterios esquemáticos y simplistas que dominaron en la crítica marxista hasta hace unos años.

Document Overview:

Con gran alegría felicitamos a Mons. Víctor Sánchez Espinosa porque el Santo Padre Benedicto XVI lo ha nombrado Arzobispo de Puebla. Mons. Víctor lleva muchos años trabajando eficazmente con nosotros en el campo de la pastoral litúrgica. Le deseamos de todo corazón que Dios le conceda ser muy buen pastor de su arquidiócesis. Es lo que sin duda él mismo nos quiere comunicar con el lema que escogió para su escudo: Apacienta mis ovejas (Pasce oves meas). El Año jubilar de San Pablo termina este 29 de junio. Hemos estado publicando artículos que nos han permitido conocerlo mejor a él y a su obra. En esta ocasión decimos una palabra sobre Las cartas de San Pablo. Además, hemos aprovechado los espacios libres al final de los artículos para ofrecer a nuestros lectores una muestra de la riquísima presencia del Apóstol en el campo del arte. Es un pequeño homenaje por el aprecio que le tenemos, junto con toda la Iglesia. Pentecostés pone broche de oro al Tiempo Pascual. Publicamos la homilía que Benedicto XVI dijo hace un año. Inmediatamente después de Pentecostés continuamos con la segunda etapa del Tiempo Ordinario: La Trinidad, Corpus, el Sagrado Corazón… Publicamos también la homilía del Papa en el Corpus del año pasado. En esta misma línea eucarística, el comentario de la Exhortación postsinodal Sacramentum Caritatis que hemos escogido para este número es precisamente La Eucaristía, “Sacramentum sanctitatis”. Además, un magnífico estudio del Card. Vanhoye sobre La Eucaristía, fuente y cumbre de la vida cristiana. Conviene meditarlo muy a fondo por su rico contenido. Aprovechando que en el mes de junio retomamos el Tiempo Ordinario de nuestro año litúrgico en el que abundan las fiestas y las memorias de los santos, hemos querido contribuir a que se tenga una idea muy clara de las categorías litúrgicas actuales que ha determinado la Iglesia para celebrar debidamente a nuestros santos, de manera que no se pierda la centralidad del misterio de Cristo: Solemnidades, fiestas y

From:University of Chicago Press 0

Document Overview:

In this, his most influential work, legal theorist and political philosopher Carl Schmitt argues that liberalism's basis in individual rights cannot provide a reasonable justification for sacrificing oneself for the state—a critique as cogent today as when it first appeared. George Schwab's introduction to his translation of the 1932 German edition highlights Schmitt's intellectual journey through the turbulent period of German history leading to the Hitlerian one-party state. In addition to analysis by Leo Strauss and a foreword by Tracy B. Strong placing Schmitt's work into contemporary context, this expanded edition also includes a translation of Schmitt's 1929 lecture "The Age of Neutralizations and Depoliticizations," which the author himself added to the 1932 edition of the book. An essential update on a modern classic, The Concept of the Political, Expanded Edition belongs on the bookshelf of anyone interested in political theory or philosophy.

Science as Practice and Culture

$28.80

$28.80
From:University of Chicago Press 0

Document Overview:

Science as Practice and Culture explores one of the newest and most controversial developments within the rapidly changing field of science studies: the move toward studying scientific practice—the work of doing science—and the associated move toward studying scientific culture, understood as the field of resources that practice operates in and on.Andrew Pickering has invited leading historians, philosophers, sociologists, and anthropologists of science to prepare original essays for this volume. The essays range over the physical and biological sciences and mathematics, and are divided into two parts. In part I, the contributors map out a coherent set of perspectives on scientific practice and culture, and relate their analyses to central topics in the philosophy of science such as realism, relativism, and incommensurability. The essays in part II seek to delineate the study of science as practice in arguments across its borders with the sociology of scientific knowledge, social epistemology, and reflexive ethnography.

Exotic No More

$27.00

$27.00
From:University of Chicago Press 0

Document Overview:

Since its founding in the nineteenth century, social anthropology has been seen as the study of exotic peoples in faraway places. But today more and more anthropologists are dedicating themselves not just to observing but to understanding and helping solve social problems wherever they occur—in international aid organizations, British TV studios, American hospitals, or racist enclaves in Eastern Europe, for example.In Exotic No More, an initiative of the Royal Anthropological Institute, some of today's most respected anthropologists demonstrate, in clear, unpretentious prose, the tremendous contributions that anthropology can make to contemporary society. They cover issues ranging from fundamentalism to forced migration, child labor to crack dealing, human rights to hunger, ethnicity to environmentalism, intellectual property rights to international capitalisms. But Exotic No More is more than a litany of gloom and doom; the essays also explore topics usually associated with leisure or "high" culture, including the media, visual arts, tourism, and music. Each author uses specific examples from their fieldwork to illustrate their discussions, and 62 photographs enliven the text.Throughout the book, the contributors highlight anthropology's commitment to taking people seriously on their own terms, paying close attention to what they are saying and doing, and trying to understand how they see the World and why. Sometimes this bottom-up perspective makes the strange familiar, but it can also make the familiar strange, exposing the cultural basis of seemingly "natural" behaviors and challenging us to rethink some of our most cherished ideas—about gender, "free" markets, "race," and "refugees," among many others.Contributors:William O.
