Cosmologies and Regionalisms from "Above' and "Below' in the Post-Cold War Americas: the Relevance of Karl Polanyi for the 21st Century

Drawing on a Polanyian analysis of the land question, this article aims to analyse both Western and Indigenous cosmologies of Abya Yalathe name that indigenous peoples give to the American continentto understand the relationship between human beings and land and nature. These cosmologies are at the heart of the way in which two distinct societies construct their regional space, one from above', the other from below', and they are therefore key to understanding today's climate change problematique. Following this nexus it is argued that, since the end of the Cold War, a new regional double-movement', unleashed by the quest for land and natural resources has been in the making. This is a superstructural or legal battle between Western transnational regime-making and a law that originated at the centre of the Earth'. The article explains both regionalisms and the dialectical interaction between them and demonstrates that Karl Polanyi's legacy remains relevant for the 21st century.

State-of-the-art of imaging detecting endoleaks post-EVAR with special focus on low-flow endoleaks.

Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) necessitates lifelong surveillance for the patient, in order to detect complications timely. Endoleaks (ELs) are among the most common complications of EVAR. Especially type II ELs can have a very unpredictable clinical course and this can range from spontaneous sealing to aortic rupture. Subgroups of this type of EL need to be identified in order to make a proper risk stratification. Aim of this review is to describe the existing imaging techniques, including their advantages and disadvantages in the context of post-EVAR surveillance with a particular emphasis on low-flow ELs. Low flow ELs cause pressurization of the aortic aneurysm sac with a low velocity filling, leading to difficulty of detection by routine imaging protocols for EVAR surveillance, e.g. bi- or triphasic multislice computed tomographic angiography, magnetic resonance imaging and contrast enhanced ultrasound. In this article, we review the imaging possibilities of ELs and discuss the different imaging strategies available for depicting low flow ELs.

Ontología y estéticas post-representación : problemas de la filosofía del arte de Arthur Danto

El artículo analiza la filosofía del arte expuesta por Arthur Danto, procurando, conjuntamente, problematizar el principio de representación estética en su figuración dominante en la tradición del pensamiento filosófico sobre el arte. Comprendiendo las valiosas indagaciones de Danto respecto a las “vanguardias intratables" del siglo XX y a las metamorfosis en la estructuración del mundo del arte, así como respecto a la propia filosofía que indaga sobre las obras de arte, el presente análisis se interroga, a su vez, acerca de las consecuencias problemáticas que el pensamiento de Danto abre y que en muchos casos permanecen en discusión y disputa teórica.
