    Why are (human) lives political? Interview with Ariel Colonomos

    Site du CERIHow do we price lives? This question, far from being rhetorical, refers to notions that lie at the core of the political. Ethically, from a principled approach perspective, lives have an infinite value. However, politically, lives can be valued in material terms, i.e. they can be put in balance with material interest, whether these interests are monetary or political (such as the national interest). Ariel Colonomos, author of the recently published Pricing Lives (Oxford University Press, 2023), answers our questions and helps us better understand this crucial philosophical question.

    No full text
    In this paper, I discuss how for Susan Glaspell and Elena Ferrante, violence is how their female characters respond to attempted entrapment in a cage when they are offered no escape. Susan Glaspell’s plays “Trifles” and “The Verge” in comparison to Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan Quartet shows how women have had oppressive male forces acting upon them for decades. At times when feminists were campaigning for other issues, Glaspell and Ferrante advocated for proper divorce laws by showing the dark side of marriage through the physical and emotional abuse their brilliant female leads undergo alongside the female character’s resulting violence

    No full text
    El artículo presenta al autor de Ariel Rodó, como integrante de la promoción literaria uruguaya, como uno de los exponentes del modernismo y como pensador que pertenece a la generación de los Fundadores. Parte de la problemática Ariel- Calibán como símbolo latinoamericano y de la postulación de Ariel como discurso antiimperialista para situar la pregunta respecto de la función de la educación en la constitución del joven latinoamericano como sujeto social portador de sentido del proyecto nacional. Se tratan luego las figuras que se desprenden de los Prósperos, los Calibanes y los Arieles concebidos como la pluralidad de perspectivas desde las que transcurren las vidas de los sujetos y de los espacios desde los cuales las naciones se paran para mirarse unas a otras.This article introduces the author of Ariel, Rodó, as a member of the Uruguayan literary community, as well as one of the figures of expressionism, and as a thinker who belongs to the generation of the founders. It starts off from the Ariel-Calíban conflict as a Latin American symbol and from the postulation of Ariel as an antiilllpenallst discourse to pose the question about the function of education in the formation of the young Latin American as a social subject that bears the true sense of the national project. The study finally arrives at a meeting with the figures that derive themselves from the Prosperos, the Callbans and the Ariels conceived as the pluralism of the perspectives in which the lives of the subjects are Iived in the spaces from which the nations stand up in arder to take a look at one another.Fil: Alvarado, Mariana
