In this paper we address the notion of nature that posthuman materialism brings into play and which may involve a series of considerations about the relationship between Art and the world, materiality and emancipation. Returning to the proposition of Adorno, according to which materialism is the unsurmountable tension between the relative "stripping" of the powers of materials (expressionist aspiration) and the articulation into new constellations allowed by this (constructive line), we analyze critically the task of Art: to serve as voice to the oppressed and damaged nature. Through an examination of Foucault's, Latour's and Schwarzböck's viewpoints on these subjects, and bringing in the ecological perspective, we mark out a path to explore in which philosophical aesthetics is faced with new challenges.

In the mid-20th century, Blanchot developed a thorough critique of some of Camus' topics. His interest mainly focused on the renewal of the camusian cogito synthesized in the formula "I rebel, therefore we are." For Blanchot, the hapless man (which constitutes the starting point for Camus' "absurd man") has lost the power to say "I" and is thus a figure of the impersonal that cannot be redirected to the person. Nevertheless, this does not entail a waiver of rebelliousness: Blanchot recovered the figure of Sisyphus to show that there is a rebellion of the impersonal that exceeds man, indicating the way to the "resistance of the neutral" to be claimed by French and Italian philosophy of the 21st century.

Introduction. We observe how mass media thematise Non-Conventional Renewable Energy projects [NCRE] in terms of relevance and treatment assigned to distinct sources and emerging thematic structures. Methodology. Mixed-approach content analysis of a sample of 100 Chilean digital press articles relating to NCRE, using the analytical framework of Niklas Luhmann's Social Systems Theory. Results and Discussion. The predominance of solar and wind sources goes hand in hand with a low terminological clarity, which however allows mass media to build distinct thematic structures around social systems such as economy, science, politics and law. Environmental references are less frequent and shallower, privileging its evocative aspects with maximum linkage capacity. Conclusions. Instead than observing mass media as mere transmitters of rationalities external to them, more attention should be given to their ability to create realities and representing the (human and ecological) environment.

In this paper I work on some theses of Jean-Luc Nancy that aim to show how the Cartesian dualism on which our tradition seems to settle can be read as an ontology of the in-between. This ontology should release the body of the shackles of the mind, opening a space in which the corporeality can acquire its own entity, one that is not subordinated to the 'soul'. Based on this reading, Nancy's writing can be considered as a renewed materialism, articulated on the notion of touch and on a sensual twist of sense. This will allow, in turn, to understand the contemporary world as 'ecotechnics' and to apprehend bodies in their extension and spacing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper I explore the possibility of finding in Plato's Gorgias a political perspective different from the one which is traditionally associated to the author: i.e., a situational politics founded on the multiplicity of points of view. It is an examination of the positions assumed by Calicles - Socrates' counter-figure-, who's arguments are presented as the strongest against Socrates'. Calicles' discourse addresses subjects like the politicization of living-together, the critic to the philosophical way of living, the opposition physis-nomos and the critic to the universalizing reason that Socrates would like to "hide" beneath a philosophical language rooted in transcendent entities.

This paper analyses the three songs featured in the second part of Thus Spoke Zarathustra -"The Night Song", "The Dancing Song" and "The Tomb Song"- as a means to explore Zarathustra's complex relationship with life and wisdom. It presents Zarathustra's passionate option for life, which is conveyed allegorically in the songs, as an act of adultery commi??ed against wisdom that will ultimately lead Zarathustra to the discovery of life as will to power. But in the context of this new direction which Zarathustra undertakes as a result of his adultery, wisdom is no longer opposed to life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
