INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND UNIVERSALITY OF READING: CONFLICT OF INTEREST?

It seeks to clarify the issue about the relationship between intellectual property and universality of reading, to understand if it exists or not a conflict of interest. From a synchronic axis crossing, historical, with a diachronic axis, of philosophical: is tracked to explain the deep forces that have shaped the problem arises here. It also explains the legal issue of copyright and property which is closely related to the issue treated here. From all this it follows that underlie the problem of intellectual property is the construction of the Western historical figure of subjectivity, which has led to the role of "author." The author who is credited with authorship of a speech only (work) is a product of social discourse situation that historically has been obscured what has contributed the legal apparatus that protects copyright. What has led to the establishment of an antagonism to the universality of reading. In this paper therefore has not sought to respond to the problem but to make it clear to potential solutions.

Levi-Strauss 1908-2009

Acaba de morir el padre de la antropología a los 100 años de edad. Nos deja un legado enorme. Hombre de gran erudición, consagró su vida al estudio de las sociedades mal llamadas primitivas, justamente para demostrar que dichas sociedades no tenían nada de primitivas. Fue el principal portavoz de la antropología en Francia, declarando a voces, que la antropología rinde homenaje a la “superstición” y que el estudio de los mitos, tiene un lugar central para esta ciencia.3 Demostró, pacientemente, la universalidad de la naturaleza humana, explicando que el cerebro humano esta hecho, en todas partes del mundo, de la misma forma, con idénticas limitaciones. A continuación haré una breve reseña de su vida y de sus libros.
