El poder colombiano, los piratas del siglo XXI

El galeón español San José, que se hundió en 1708 en la bahía de Cartagena, Colombia, es la nave más pretendida en la actualidad por los cinco mil millones de dólares que alberga. Cuando el expresidente de Colombia Belisario Betancur se enteró de su valor, en 1982, se inició una fiebre de corrupción entre figuras de poder colombiano y los cazatesoros por rescatar el gran botín. En 2013 el presidente de Colombia Juan Manuel Santos sancionó la Ley 1675 con el objetivo de proteger y regular la protección al patrimonio cultural sumergido. Sin embargo, como varias fuentes lo evidencian, esto es solo la luz verde que esperaron los ambiciosos durante décadas para poder obtener beneficios personales con el patrimonio de la Nación.

The ethical paradigm of Jose Marti's writings beyond Modernity

This dissertation explores the nature of Jose Marti's ethical ideas in relation to the rise of late Nineteenth Century Modernity and in tandem with the deconstruction and subversion of the principal constituencies of colonial and aesthetic discourses. Marti proposes a new paradigm that question the insatiable pursuit of novelty, the hostility towards tradition, the historical perspectivism and a critical stance with regard to social aesthetic Modernity. He also questions the cult of reason, the linear historicism, and the teleological progress framed in philosophical utilitarian pragmatism of bourgeois Modernity. His radical criticism of the structures and institutions of the hegemonic power of the modern state override the ontological and epistemological foundations of Modernity. Marti's deconstruction of the fundamental discourses of euro-centristic Occidental culture leads him, through his ethical writings, to an arqueology of Native American civilizations, thus reinserting, within the false premises of European universalism, his counter-discourse of tradition and the voice of the Other.
