Antígona González (2012) by Sara Uribe (Querétaro, 1978) is a play that cannot be reduced to the legal and political language of denunciation and human rights but can be read as a poetics of the sacred. From its link with Sophocles' Antigone and the discussion with Agamben's homo sacer, this article contemplates Antígona González as a play that criticizes the principle of sovereignty and underlines the importance of the name and the body, in a sacred poetics of dispossession.

This dossier raises the question of evil. The evil we suffer and the evil we cause. Throughout its pages we situate historically and socially some of its forms in the Enlightenment and World War II. We ask ourselves about its relationship with extreme violence and injustice. We go through its most familiar and everyday aspects and reflect on the need for a radical listening that allows us to account for it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article approaches evil as the production of unnecessary harm that occurs in modes of relationship. It tries to point out, through concrete analyses, how the acts that produce horror are the crystallization of forms of relationship that occur in everyday life. The question of evil is linked to the question of vulnerability, defending, however, that evil is neither a transcendent essence nor a rigid structure against which we are impotent. I propose a minima moralia focused on how we see, imagine, pay attention and are able to respond, as well as how the unsettling strangeness of the everyday can serve ethics and politics.

In Beyond The Public Sphere. Film and The Feminist Imaginary, María Pía Lara writes about the need to build a feminist social imaginary as a counter-hegemonic strategy to the capitalist and patriarchal imaginary. This imaginary must be understood as a faculty, as a collective imaginary, and as the representation of forms in which we contemplate ourselves situated in our concrete world. In this article I discuss the possibilities and problems that Lara opens with her proposal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For the Greeks, the peony plant had exceptional properties. It was used for many medicinal remedies. The most frequent were gynecological, nervous and mental diseases (insanity), as well as other minor, varied uses. This plant becomes visible at night when the moonlight falls on it. For this reason, it soon became associated with astrological and magical superstitions. These beliefs passed into the Latin world. It appears in herbaria and in medical treatises. In the Middle Ages it was still a plant frequently used in rural areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Kant admits the existence of a universally communicable feeling, which is significant in that it directs attention to the forms and events that are considered relevant in the public space, without a conceptual determination. Rejecting the Schwärmer and the extravagant, allows Kant to identify the forms of possible experience with the aesthetic sensibility of politically reasonable subjects. The question of universal communicability seems to be resolved by Kant if we recognize in the subjects the same reason that can be carefully delimited. In this article we explore the political implications of this search for the unity of Kantian reason and a possible reading that, on the contrary, highlights its fragmentation and finitude and contributes to a problematization of the unity of experience and its communicability.

Pythagoreans, Neoplatonists, Stoics, Orphics, Gnostics and Christians, as well as some mystery religions of the third and fourth centuries, develop the idea that, after death and corruption of the human body, the soul is situated on a higher plane, aerial, and that is visible to our eyes: the psyche takes the form of an innocent girl dressed in subtle clothes of light.

Introduction: posture is the basis of movements. The postural control responds to proper maintenance of the body's configuration. This configuration depends intrinsically on the sensory systems involved in the reception of the information. The visual system is responsible for approximately 80% of sensory perception and most of our movements are controlled by our eyes. Objectives: to identify non-strabismic binocular dysfunction that could be present in the population under study and its possible relationship with the static baropodometrics variables. Material and method: the study presented is analytical, observational, transversal, cross-association. The sample consis ted of 70 subjects (44 women and 26 males). The average age of the subjects was 38 ± 14 (18 – 62) years, the average body mass index of the sample was 25.91 ± 4.79 (17.49 – 38.48). We conducted an optometric study of binocular vision and static baropodométric to all subjects included in the study. Results: between the subjects within the standard for those who presented values outside the norm, in the variables that describe the status of the binocular function, statistically significant differences were found in the static baropodometrics variables: load of the left and right forefoot and hindfoot, overall surface of left and right foot, forefoot surface and left and right hindfoot, maximum left and right pressure, left and right middle pressure, right breech angle and left and right Fick angle. Conclusions: according to the results obtained in our study, there is a relationship between static baropodometrics variables and those that define the state of binocular vision. More research is needed to identifie the meaning of this relationship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this study is to examine, from a rational point of view, the story occurred in the year 42 BC and related by Pliny and Suetonius. According to these roman authors, a very young Livia Drusilla (future wife of Octavius) at the age of 15-16 years and being pregnant carried out and oomantic ceremony, in order to guess the sex of the child she was carrying and make sure it was a boy. For this purpose the narration says that she had taken a chicken egg - as a simulation of the fetus - which had been incubated within her, extra corpore, until it hatched out showing a baby-bird with an enormous red cockscomb. This image was a sign referred to the baby who was coming to life: Tiberius. In political terms, we retroactively situate the formation of this genethliacal myth in the year 2 AD, coinciding with the return of the emperor Tiberius back to Rome from his voluntary exile in Rhodes, "the golden island". This episode operates as a metaphor for a "new birth" and for its incorporation, initially unfortunate, to the political scene. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Wrinkles, directed by Ignacio Ferreras, is one of the last 2D animation features "made in Spain" that lets us enjoy the adult audience a hard and real, though magical, story. Wrinkles is not one of those movies that leave you indifferent. It makes you think, it makes understand, it makes feel, it makes live, even when the main subject of the movie is just the opposite. Wrinkles, born as a comic book from the hands of Paco Roca, got the Spanish National Comic Award. With the images of the film, with its feelings on the surface, with large doses of implicit kindness and a gallery of characters who tell a story about friendship, loneliness, but also about the will to live, in short time it has enamored us and continues to captivating us. And as viewers we feel the need to see more real movies like this one. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines what is learned by several speeches and practices of mourning and melancholia. It is argued that black bile materializes bodies in quite particular waysand melancholia urges us to understand the melancholic body's relevance in social domain. The persistent notion of black bile focuses our attention on howthe bodies inhabit and are in turn inhabited by social constraints. It is suggested that another understanding of melancholic attachments to loss might despathologize those attachments making visible their social bases and also their creative, unpredictable, political aspects.

Objectives: To describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of patients included in the National Register of Paget's disease. Methods: A Register of patients with Paget disease (PD), radiologically confirmed, and pertaining to 25 hospitals was analysed. Clinical and epidemiological data were collected, including age, sex, date and presentations at time of diagnosis, treatment, quality of life (QL) (EuroQol 5D) and perceived health, environmental factors (profession, history of measles, contact with animals, dairy consumption, housing conditions, place of birth and address) and family history (PD history, origin of the ancestors, number of children). We conducted a statistical description of the data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In medical research, particularly in the field of rheumatology, there is great interest about the concept of responsiveness of outcome measures as a sign of changes in the patient's health status. However, the terminology sorrounding this concept and the methods of analysis are confusing and lacking in consensus. We present a review about the concept and analysis of responsiveness taking into account both, the characteristics of the responsiveness and the type of design and predictable change in the sample being studied.

This paper tackles the women's mysticism in the later Middle Ages making important the different way of thinking and practicing the religion by this women, their place in their culture and their rejections of definitions of female sanctity expresed in the hagiographical literature. The claim is to show the multiplicity of these women's writtings, and to emphasize that these writtings must be the basis for any account of their self-understanding and the route to the divine that they saw open for themselves.
