La emancipación no es inefable

El pensamiento social crítico tiene una nueva demanda. Le urge revisarse en sus conceptos fundamentales, dialogar con las experiencias de los movimientos sociales y hacer valer el recurso del método: el hacer conceptual radical del pensamiento y la acción social por una emancipación humana. Desde la experiencia de trabajo del Grupo América Latina, Filosofía Social y Axiología (GALFISA) se exponen algunos elementos alcanzados y construidos en conjunto y que compartimos para seguir narrando juntos la emancipación.

Los caminos de Carmen Lyra

La contribución intelectual y política de la pensadora Carmen Lyra, militante comunista, maestra y escritora costarricense, puede identificarse como una dádiva que aportó luz en la construcción de una sociedad costarricense más justa. Exilada política, murió en México, el país que la recibió, rogando volver para fallecer en su Patria, petición humanitaria que le fue negada por la jerarquía política de la Suiza Centroamericana. Hoy, su pensamiento y su praxis han sido despojados por el imaginario oficial del contenido político que movió su pluma y su vida. Palabras claves: Carmen Lyra, María Isabel Carvajal, comunismo costarricense, pensamiento político femenino costarricense Abstract The intellectual and political deeds of Costa Rican thinker Carmen Lyra, communist, writer and teacher, can be understood as an inheritance that shed light for the building of a more justice Costa Rican society. She was exiled to Mexico and died there begging Costa Rican authorities to allow her return to the Homeland for her final days. This humanitarian request was refused by the rulers of the so-called Central American Switzerland. Today, Carmen Lyra ́s thought and deeds are being swept away of its political content that moved her writing and her entire life by the official ideology. Key words: Carmen Lyra, María Isabel Carvajal, Costa Rican Communism, Costa Rican female political thought
