El sentido de la vida.

Se realiza una experiencia educativa en el aula de Bachillerato para reflexionar sobre la existencia humana. Entre otras actividades, se propone la redacción de un epitafio; se analizan seis textos que aúnan filosofía y literatura: Los hermanos Karamazov, de Fiodor Dostoievski; El Manifiesto comunista, de Karl Marx; Utopía, de Tomás Moro; La náusea, de Jean Paul Sartre; La Peste, de Albert Camus; y el relato 'El otro', integrado en El libro de arena, de Jorge Luis Borges. La clase se divide en seis grupos y cada uno de ellos trabaja el texto del autor que le ha correspondido, desvelando el sentido de la existencia humana. Seguidamente, cada grupo expone oralmente el trabajo mediante un resumen del texto y las frases más significativas del autor; responden a las preguntas del profesor; elaboran un cuestionario sobre los aspectos más relevantes del texto; y relacionan el enfoque del fragmento trabajado con algunas de las perspectivas del marco teórico general. Al finalizar, cada alumno realiza una disertación filosófica escrita sobre el sentido de la existencia humana.

Reflexiones sobre la educación : comentario a un libro.

La obra que se analiza se titula Reflexions sobre lïeducació, del padre catalán Octavio Fullat. Es una de las pocas obras sobre educación que se publican en España. Se espera que sea traducida al castellano. El autor es joven y poco conocido, pero posee una gran formación. Ha escrito la tesis doctoral La moral atea de Albert Camus, y es ayudante de una cátedra en la Universidad de Barcelona. La obra que nos ocupa aporta una información muy rica, y unas reflexiones e hipótesis sobre la educación, con un fondo filosófico. Se divide en dos partes. La primera se titula Teoría o contemplación y consta de cuatro capítulos. La segunda es Poética o realización, y tiene nueve capítulos. Alguno de los principales aspectos que aborda son la crisis de la educación actual, la caída definitiva del humanismo cristiano a finales del siglo XIX y su sustitución por el existencialismo, el marxismo etc. En definitiva estamos ante una rica reflexión sobre la educación que se asienta sobre un trasfondo histórico y filosófico complejo.

Los siete locos de Roberto Arlt : un existencialismo avant la lettre

El uso frecuente del discurso abstracto en Los siete locos de Roberto Arlt nos remite a ideas generales que se vinculan con postulados existencialistas. Este trabajo se propone señalar la relación que se establece entre los planteos de Erdosain y algunos conceptos que posteriormente elaborarán filósofos existencialistas como Albert Camus.

De la relation coloniale dans "Le Renégat ou un esprit confus"

Dans cette lecture de "Le Renégat ou un esprit confus " on montrera que la véhémence du conflit franco-arabe subjugue cette œuvre camusienne, que la métaphore du désert, comme le lieu de régénération, y symbolise la violence du colonialisme. A travers la mésaventure du missionnaire qui désire asservir et coloniser les «sauvages», Camus affirme, ironiquement, sa critique face à la démission politique française et à l’échec de sa « mission civilisatrice ». Parallèlement, Camus révèle aussi son pessimisme quant à la possibilité de communication entre deux cultures qui, dans un même espace socio-politique, défendent des systèmes de valeurs irréductibles. On montrera que « Le Renégat » expose une perception manichéenne qui supprime toute relation entre les cultures chrétiennes et païennes et, de surcroit, entre colonisateur et colonisé. Cette lecture cherchera aussi à établir un parallèle entre «l'esprit confus » et ce Camus qui, bien qu’étant conscient de son impuissance face au conflit, ne peut concevoir des points de vue différents des siens sur le problème algérien, ni même établir une critique franchement directe au colonialisme français.

L’homme face à la mort dans La Peste et As Intermitências da Morte

Nous nous proposons d’esquisser une réflexion comparative axée sur le thème de la mort, à partir de l’analyse de La Peste (1947) d’Albert Camus et As Intermitências da Morte (2005) de José Saramago. Dès lors, ces deux romans présentent au lecteur deux expériences littéraires de la mort, apparemment différentes mais, en réalité, axées sur une même interrogation de l’Homme, celle de la mort. Notre hypothèse de lecture vise donc à analyser comment cette réflexion sur la mort se développe dans les deux romans, à partir de la peste et des intermittences de la mort.

Les enjeux sémiotiques de la perception dans L’Étranger d’Albert Camus

Considered as a romantic incarnation of author’s ideas, L’Etranger put us in front of the absurd through the problematic character of Meursault, often studied and commented as subject of this philosophical attitude. The absurd presupposes a relationship between man and the world and is thus inevitably linked to perception: a sensory experience then founds the discourse of the novel, establishing Meursault as percipient/enunciator subject. We will use the resources offered by semiotics of discourse in its phenomenological version for analyzing the perceptual path of Meursault and especially to consider the question of Camus’s absurd under a new light

The citizen's voice : Albert Hirschman's Exit, Voice and Loyalty and its contribution to media citizenship debates

This paper analyses Albert Hirschman's Exit, Voice and Loyalty (Hirschman 1970) as a basis for understanding the relationship between media and citizenship. It considers the significance of Hirschman's concept of voice in relation to media policy, media participation through user-created content, and the rise of 'citizen media' and 'citizen journalism'. It associates these developments with a 'de-centering' of both media practice and media studies, as considered by Couldry (2006a, 2006b). It concludes by suggesting that voice and participation, rather than citizenship, may constitute a more suitable foundation for understanding new digital media initiatives.

Albert Namatjira: copyright estates and traditional knowledge

Albert Namatjira was Australia's first Indigenous professional artist. He adapted Western-style painting to express his cultural knowledge of the Arrernte country, for which he was a traditional custodian. In his lifetime, Albert Namatjira achieved great acclaim for his exceptional ability as an artist. However, after his untimely death, he was ignored by the mainstream Australian art world, because of the aesthetic prejudices and social policies of the time. A recent exhibition entitled Seeing the Centre: The art of Albert Namatjira (1902-1959) curated by Alison French has sought to redress this neglect, and provide a retrospective of his work. The exhibition has brought to light that the copyright in the artistic works of Albert Namatjira has not been passed onto his family descendants. In June 1957, Namatjira entered into a copyright agreement with John Brackenreg, the owner of a publishing company by the name of Legend Press, and the associated Artarmon Galleries in Sydney. It was agreed that Legend Press would pay royalties to Namatjira for the sole right to reproduce all of his paintings. Following Namatjira's death in 1959, the administration of his estate passed to the Public Trustee for the Northern Territory Government. The Public Trustee of the Northern Territory Government authorised the sale of Namatjira's copyright to Legend Press in 1983, thereby ending the ability of the descendents of Namatjira to benefit from on-going income from the reproduction of his works. Senator Aden Ridgeway of the Democrats has called on the Federal Government to enter into discussions with the Northern Territory Government to buy back the copyright in Albert Namatjira's works. He argued that exclusive control of the use and reproduction of his works should be restored to his descendants, as well as the receipt of all financial benefits that result from the use and reproduction of his works under copyright protection. The Senator said: 'By doing this, we will all be rewarded, because finally, belatedly, we will be showing Albert Namatjira the reverence that he has always deserved. We will be protecting his legacy for future generations'.

Idyll eller verklighet? : Albert Edelfelt och Gunnar Berndtson i det moderna genombrottets ambivalens

Idyll or Reality? Albert Edelfelt, Gunnar Berndtson and the ambivalent breakthrough of modernity Albert Edelfelt (1854-1905) and Gunnar Berndtson (1854-1895) have much in common. In this dissertation, I study their paintings of local peasants and fishermen and of the gentry’s summer in the county of Uusimaa in southern Finland, in the context of Nordic history of ideas. The breakthrough of modernity, with its attention on debating social problems, provides a novel angle into the oeuvres of the two artists. My focus is on the paintings which emerge in the collision of the public discussion of social matters and the values of the artists’ manorial milieu. The artists’ relation to the public discussion is scrutinized through two of the main topics: the question of the common people and democracy, and the question of equality between men and women. My dissertation is a contextual study which is based on the analysis of the artworks of Edelfelt and Berndtson, on their letters, and on the study of drama and fiction of their time. The notion “liberté, egalité, fraternité” is linked to the breakthrough of modernity. Both artists were aware of the ideal of equality. They used the means and the themes of contemporary art in their presentations, but their pictures contain the ideal of an earlier epoch: the hardworking, but still complacent common people. This conception of the common people is also reflected in the poems of J. L. Runeberg. Women of the late 19th century challenged woman’s primary role as wife and mother. In Edelfelt’s and Berndtson’s depictions of the gentry enjoying summer, women and children have the main role. Notwithstanding the debate of the breakthrough of modernity they depicted women almost without exception as good mothers. Their paintings often depict lazy days in the sunshine, which were, in reality, rare moments for the mistress of the house. Edelfelt’s and Berndtson’s subjects from the Uusimaa countryside coincide with the topics of the breakthrough of modernity, but both the pictures of the common people and the depictions of the gentry enjoying summer, are a retouched picture of reality, often an idyll, in which the public discussion of social matters is evident only materially or not at all.
