The pornography by the critical program

Susan Sontag escribió un polémico artículo sobre la pornografía: “The pornographic Imagination” en el que hace una referencia a Hegel. Hegel cambia radicalmente el modo de entender el quehacer filosófico y así inaugura, a su entender, un nuevo lenguaje post-religioso que abre posibilidades hasta entonces desconocidas a la cultura occidental. El concepto de negatividad es central. La pornografía es un ejercicio radical de negatividad. El sujeto recorre un camino de aprendizaje doloroso pero necesario para llegar a su liberación. Por esta vía “crítica” van a discurrir autores como Freud, Sartre, Derrida o Genet que presentamos brevemente en este artículo de la mano de SontagSusan Sontag wrote a controversial article about pornography: “The pornographic Imagination” in which she refers to Hegel. Hegel radically changes the way of understanding the philosophical task and thus inaugurates, in her understanding, a new post-religious language that opens possibilities hitherto unknown to Western culture. The concept of negativity is central. Pornography is a radical exercise in negativity. The subject travels a painful but necessary learning path to reach their liberation. In this “critical” way, authors such as Freud, Sartre, Derrida or Genet are presents briefly in this article coming from the hand of Sonta

El teatro de Manuel Altolaguirre: 'El espacio interior'

Manuel Altolaguirre rehizo el mismo material autobiográfico en varios textos: poemas, autobiografía, artículos y dramas. 'El espacio interior', pese a encontrarse inacabada, es tal vez la más ambiciosa de sus piezas dramáticas y en ella el autor se remite a modelos de la vanguardia de entreguerras para, desde su exilio mejicano, escenificar sus recuerdos y sus problemas de conciencia. Manuel Altolaguirre reworked the same autobiographical materials in several texts: in some of his poems, in his autobiography, in a few articles and in some of his plays. 'El espacio interior', though unfinished and never brought to the stage, is surely his most ambitious play and proves itself most revealing about the author’s mental workings; in it, he goes back to some of the entre-deux-guerres avantgarde models he had known before becoming an exile and tries to explore and analize his own conscience

Análisis de los trabajos prácticos de química general en un primer curso de universidad

Learning in the laboratory has been and still is a highly controversial issue among science educators although there are not many studies carried out in Spanish Universities. This paper reports an evaluation of the current situation in a Laboratory of General Chemistry. For the purpose of this research, a model of learning has been adopted and an evaluation of students attitude towards the Practical Works has been made

The influence of semantic and phonological factors on syntactic decisions: An event-related brain potential study

During language production and comprehension, information about a word's syntactic properties is sometimes needed. While the decision about the grammatical gender of a word requires access to syntactic knowledge, it has also been hypothesized that semantic (i.e., biological gender) or phonological information (i.e., sound regularities) may influence this decision. Event-related potentials (ERPs) were measured while native speakers of German processed written words that were or were not semantically and/or phonologically marked for gender. Behavioral and ERP results showed that participants were faster in making a gender decision when words were semantically and/or phonologically gender marked than when this was not the case, although the phonological effects were less clear. In conclusion, our data provide evidence that even though participants performed a grammatical gender decision, this task can be influenced by semantic and phonological factors

Ver para creer : un nuevo enfoque en el aprendizaje de los procesos redox

El objetivo general de «Ver para creer» es presentar una propuesta didáctica sobre las reacciones de transferencia de electrones, a partir de la observación de procesos redox macroscópicos, que conducen a niveles de representación microscópicos y simbólicos. Se incluyen cuatro experiencias: el reloj que funciona con una naranja, precipitación electroquímica de metales disueltos, la corrosión del hierro y estados de oxidación del manganeso. Esta propuesta está dirigida a alumnado de 4º de ESO y Bachillerato. Es un nuevo enfoque que se puede implantar en el aula mediante la presentación de material audiovisual, experiencias de cátedra o como prácticas de laboratorio

La metafóra especular: Altolaguirre en su centenario

La lectura de la poesía de Altolaguirre se ha visto determinada en gran medida por la leyenda de la propia persona de Altolaguirre, divulgada por sus compañeros de generación. No pocas de las aproximaciones críticas han adoptado, por tanto, un paradigma biografista y con frecuencia psicoanalítico, al que aquí se pretende ofrecer una alternativa en ideas como las de Paul Ricoeur: la de una articulación coherente del yo y la de la configuración de ese yo por medio del lenguaje. Reading Manuel s poetry has been ofteh obstrused by the popet’s own person and legend, partly derived from his own behaviour and partly from testimonies from some members of his generation . Thus, during the sixties and seventies some critics performed a biographic and / or psychoanalytic approach which showed a common increasing interest in his poetry, but did not allow to grasp some aspects of his work. Here a different approach, based on Paul Ricoeur’s ideas, is proposed through the analysis of metaphor and self in his poems

¿Revolucionario y burgués?: el teatro de Cernuda

Este artículo reconstruye las circunstancias personales, históricas y literarias en las que Cernuda escribió su pieza dramática La familia interrumpida, con la intención de entresacar de estas cuestiones algunas claves para explicar esa incursión cernudiana en un género al que en principio se mostraba tan poco proclive. This paper traces the circumstances –of a biographical, historical and literary kind– under which the poet Luis Cernuda attempted his only play, La familia interrumpida. I intend to draw from these issues a few keys that might explain this astonishing incursion in a genre he was not very fond of

Anatomical pathways for auditory memory II: information from rostral superior temporal gyrus to dorsolateral temporal pole and medial temporal cortex

Auditory recognition memory in non-human primates differs from recognition memory in other sensory systems. Monkeys learn the rule for visual and tactile delayed matching-to-sample within a few sessions, and then show one-trial recognition memory lasting 10–20 min. In contrast, monkeys require hundreds of sessions to master the rule for auditory recognition, and then show retention lasting no longer than 30–40 s. Moreover, unlike the severe effects of rhinal lesions on visual memory, such lesions have no effect on the monkeys' auditory memory performance. The anatomical pathways for auditory memory may differ from those in vision. Long-term visual recognition memory requires anatomical connections from the visual association area TE with areas 35 and 36 of the perirhinal cortex (PRC). We examined whether there is a similar anatomical route for auditory processing, or that poor auditory recognition memory may reflect the lack of such a pathway. Our hypothesis is that an auditory pathway for recognition memory originates in the higher order processing areas of the rostral superior temporal gyrus (rSTG), and then connects via the dorsolateral temporal pole to access the rhinal cortex of the medial temporal lobe. To test this, we placed retrograde (3% FB and 2% DY) and anterograde (10% BDA 10,000 mW) tracer injections in rSTG and the dorsolateral area 38DL of the temporal pole. Results showed that area 38DL receives dense projections from auditory association areas Ts1, TAa, TPO of the rSTG, from the rostral parabelt and, to a lesser extent, from areas Ts2-3 and PGa. In turn, area 38DL projects densely to area 35 of PRC, entorhinal cortex (EC), and to areas TH/TF of the posterior parahippocampal cortex. Significantly, this projection avoids most of area 36r/c of PRC. This anatomical arrangement may contribute to our understanding of the poor auditory memory of rhesus monkeys
