La disputa por el lugar del sujeto en Merleau-Ponty y Deleuze: resonancias en la filosofía del arte

This article analyzes the differences in the philosophies of Merleau-Ponty and Deleuze on the issue of subjectivity, aiming to draw some consequences relevant to philosophy of art. It especially bears in mind the field of philosophical conceptions of cinema. In order to carry out this analysis we take into consideration the place that both authors give this subject and the discussion between Deleuze and Merleau-Pontyʼs phenomenology, from the point of view of a bergsonian ontology. Finally we compare both authors thoughts on cinema.Se consideran las diferencias de conceptualización respecto de la subjetividad en la filosofía de Merleau-Ponty y Deleuze para establecer algunas consecuencias en el ámbito de la reflexión filosófica sobre el arte, especialmente respecto del cine.

Prevalence, associated factors and outcomes of pressure injuries in adult intensive care unit patients: the DecubICUs study

Funder: European Society of Intensive Care Medicine; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100013347Funder: Flemish Society for Critical Care NursesAbstract: Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injury and hospital mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Results: Data from 13,254 patients in 1117 ICUs (90 countries) revealed 6747 pressure injuries; 3997 (59.2%) were ICU-acquired. Overall prevalence was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9–27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6–16.8). Sacrum (37%) and heels (19.5%) were most affected. Factors independently associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries were older age, male sex, being underweight, emergency surgery, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Braden score 3 days, comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency), organ support (renal replacement, mechanical ventilation on ICU admission), and being in a low or lower-middle income-economy. Gradually increasing associations with mortality were identified for increasing severity of pressure injury: stage I (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% CI 1.2–1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4–1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3–3.3). Conclusion: Pressure injuries are common in adult ICU patients. ICU-acquired pressure injuries are associated with mainly intrinsic factors and mortality. Optimal care standards, increased awareness, appropriate resource allocation, and further research into optimal prevention are pivotal to tackle this important patient safety threat

La explicación en la enseñanza de la filosofía: la búsqueda de un devenir menor

En la clase de filosofía la explicación tiene una primacía que resulta importante revisar, sobre todo cuando nos encontramos con la crítica a la que se la somete en El maestro ignorante de Jacques Rancière. En esta obra se conceptualiza a la explicación como la cristalización de una relación de desigualdad, que obtura la posibilidad de una emancipación intelectual. Se propondrá en primer lugar la revisión de este concepto, teniendo en cuenta el contexto de enunciación que se propone en la obra y resituando la discusión en el área de la enseñanza de la filosofía

Reflexiones sobre el dolor: un análisis a partir de La forma que se despliega Reflections on Pain: an Analysis from La forma que se despliega

«Este artículo aborda la puesta en escena de La forma que se despliega (Veronese, 2003) y la conceptualización del dolor humano con medios artísticos o filosóficos. También examina, en su primer apartado, la mayor parte de la pieza teatral que refiere la experiencia del dolor y releva el papel que juegan las construcciones sociales de la naturaleza humana en la comunicación del mismo. La segunda parte aborda el final de la obra, que propone una reflexión meta-discursiva acerca de la posibilidad de escenificar el dolor, trasladando ese problema a la filosofía. Se presentan finalmente diferentes vías de resolución, para concluir proponiendo una conceptualización en los límites de lo pensable, que aspira a la construcción de interpretaciones que transforman y dan sentido a la experiencia.<br>This article approaches the staging of La forma que se despliega (Veronese, 2003) and the conceptualization of human pain through artistic or philosophical means. On its first section, it also examines the content of the biggest fragment of the play which refers to the experience of pain and that reveals the role of social constructions in human nature when it communicates itself. The second part of this essay is based on the ending of the play which proposes a meta-discursive thought about the possibility of staging pain, transferring the problem to philosophy. Finally, different ways of resolutions are proposed in order to arrive to a conclusion by proposing a conceptualization inside the limits of what is thinkable, which aspires to the construction of interpretations that transform and give meaning to experience

The discussion of subjectivity in the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty and Deleuze: resonances in the philosophy of art

Finalmente, se comparan las consideraciones que sobre el cine realizan ambos autores
