Aborto : dolor prohibido

Resumen: En este trabajo se hace una aproximación a la experiencia del aborto, a las consecuencias emocionales y psicológicas que acarrea y a cómo cada mujer lo vive, ya sea en silencio o acompañada de su entorno. Para las mujeres que abortaron es evidente la necesidad de evitar y negar esa experiencia, considerando el intenso dolor, pena y confusión que sintieron después de esta intervención que se supone haría mejores sus vidas. Nuestra cultura, lamentablemente no está preparada para manifestar, aceptar o incluso respetar el dolor post-aborto, ocasionando que su sanación se haga aún más difícil de lo que debería ser. La autora presenta varios testimonios en los cuales se manifiesta la gravedad de esta experiencia. Si, como sociedad, queremos contribuir a la salud mental de mujeres y hombres, debemos tener una mirada más crítica sobre las muchas maneras en que el aborto puede afectar sus vidas.

Das paradies in der politik ein kapitel negativer kosmologie

Abstract: The idea of a “paradise in politics” is an answer to the cosmogonic- anthropogonic problem that, through their bodies, the life of human beings has been shaped politically from the very beginning: all creation is a creation of bodies and bodies are power. All creation, furthermore, means separation, it emerges through a multiplicity of things and beings only. The conventional solution for the problem, in the realm of human beings, consists in forming societies out of a multiplicity of indivuals that remains as such. The solution of a “paradise in politics”, however, envisions a “healing” of creation through a bodily transmutation by which a world of bodies emerges that is freed from the problem of bodies: separation, power. The article discusses the negative cosmology with which all tales on a paradise in politics start. It shows the essential role of phantasy in the constitution of these tales, and elucidates the principal structural elements through which visions of a paradise in politics are built. A special attention is given to the parallelism between these visions and known religious thought, as in the case of the concepts of apokatastasis or perichoresis, for instance. Methodically, the article achieves a demonstration of its subject by an extensive presentation and analysis of two case studies: Rousseau’s vision of a “terrestrial paradise” and the attempt at “bodily redemption” put on the stage in 1968-69 by the “Living Theatre” Group with its performance “Paradise Now”.
