Around 1979, with the Nicaraguan revolution, the cycle of anti-capitalist revolutions of the 20th century was closed. Due to the subsequent failure of these attempts (with capitalist economic regression, from China to Russia and from Algeria to Vietnam) and due to the appearance of postmodern culture, the revolution is outside the historical horizon. Does it make sense, then, for the left to continue? On the one hand, the reasons for that epochal failure have not been evaluated. On the other, the criticism of capitalism is still valid, although not the models of society that accompanied it. Maintaining the social struggle and opening new options is what is possible today, linked to the effort that national/popular governments have made in Latin America to introduce into the democratic/bourgeois political system, the historical claims of the left.

This study presents the eclipse of metaphysics in the 21st century. To this purpose, it exposes the fundamental nucleus of the metaphysics of Plato and Aristotle, which supposes the origin and foundation of what has come to be known as metaphysics. This article then proceeds to examine the pillars upon which the decline of metaphysics is based, beginning with the context of the postmodern era. Finally, it examines whether metaphysics is undeniable, i.e., whether it can be rejected, given the motivations of a post-metaphysical culture. The object of this investigation consists in demonstrating whether it is possible to continue doing metaphysics in the present day, the age of post-truth era. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyzes the lack of effectiveness of leadership in generating economic, social, and environmental value in the 21st century. The hypothesis is raised that the characteristics of the postmodern paradigm are not present in the training and execution of professionals responsible for organizational transformations. The importance of transdisciplinarity and the need for an epistemological framework for responsible leadership training is highlighted. Additionally, the lack of ethics committed to the common good in the profiles of university graduates and the management of the global economy is mentioned. The need for competent and transdisciplinary leadership is proposed to address global problems and build a sustainable society. [Extracted from the article]

This paper analyzes the poetic of Valeria Luiselli's Los niños perdidos. The text, which is subtitled «Un ensayo en treinta preguntas», is actually a hybrid form made of essay and fiction. Three elements are key to its structure: the voice of the narrator, a series of questions from an immigration questionnaire, and the different answers that the «niños perdidos» offer to it. In addition, due to its hybrid layout, the mobile development of its writng and its presentation of the political refugee crisis as an intersection of statements, Los niños perdidos can be understood as a reflection of the Postmodern thought that that signals the delegitimization of metanarratives.

The present age is characterized, as Bauman has opined, by the «liquidity» of human life. The structures that were previously solid are today changing, be it the identity of the subject, their sexuality, their relationships. Everything is liquid, moldable, adaptable. If something is feared at this time, it is the stable or permanent. Consequently, values have also been affected because they depend on each person's point of view, preferences, and tastes, that is, they are totally relative. This liquidity in all aspects generates uncertainty, because given the excessive information to which we are exposed, the human being ultimately does not have objective references to define what is good, valuable, preferable, since it seems that everything depends on the circumstance and the subject preferences. Ethics becomes obsolete because if everyone has an equally valid point of view, it is impossible to speak of a hierarchy of values. The search for the truth is also impossible because any possibility of reaching it is denied. It seems that education is impossible in a relativistic society. So how is it possible to teach in an age where truth and morality are questioned and even denied? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyses the recent resurgence of the far right in the United States, specifically the Alternative Right. It hypothesises that it is an unintended and belated consequence of some of the essential features of the liberal-democratic system since its inception, in general and at home. To this end, it is made an exposition of these premises is made, transferring them in turn to the recent history and current situation of American society, marked by growing inequality, competitiveness and a sense of meritocracy. All of this would feed into the renewed vindication of the so-called "cultural rights" championed by the Alternative Right. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Both the ontology of sexual difference, as elaborated by feminism of sexual difference, and the de-ontologization of sexual (in-)difference, as deconstructed by queer transfeminism, appeal to a concept of difference that is non-dualist, non-hierarchical, and non-exclusive as the core of their theoretical-political argument. However, both theories are elaborated in incompatible ways that lead to opposing political projects. The current article aims to elaborate the reasons for this divergence within the framework of a realistic and material ontology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The deep and dizzying transformations of the postmodern era have led Normative Political Science to build and apply new epistemological tools away from hegemonic scientific standards. Under this context, this research article aims to study under the light of the postmodern approach, the interference that postmodern forces, manifestations, and representations (such as globalization, the technological revolution, or mainstream culture) have had in the configuration of the nation as a traditional and essential element of modern states. To do this, it starts from the central hypothesis of unfinished fragmentation, that is, that postmodernity does not succeed in completely suppressing the idea of the nation (as many radical positions affirm), nor does it leave its nature and its compositional elements unscathed as such they have been around since modernity. Ultimately, the nation faces a weakening of traditional political forces, such as the State, which see how citizens unite around transnational principles, values, and rights, and through unconventional channels such as the internet, interactive platforms, networks social, among others.

The following reflection intends to analyze the structure, justification, and coherence of some of Braidotti's principal thesis in her book The Posthuman and their ramifications in other texts. We will specifically refer to those historical reconstructions and theoretical basis whereby the author sustains the central axis of her approach to Posthumanism, nomad subjects, and the overcoming of traditional dichotomies. Our aim is to show that such reconstructions and basis have serious argumentative deficiencies that cannot be avoided by the allusion to creativity and transversal readings, something which is due essentially to the reactive character of Postmodernity whose rhetoric pretends not to be founded on clarity and evidence (as the original modern rupture) but the comprehensive diagnosis of the occidental history of thought.

Wisdom is not found in philosophy, but is an interview through madness, the enigma and beyond the borders of logos: such is the discourse that can be argued from the novel Olegaroy by the Mexican David Toscana (2017). What this article exposes is the superior position that the narrative gives to the wisdom before the western philosophy, for which it is supported in the text The birth of the philosophy, by the Italian Giorgio Colli. In light of this thought, the article reviews the boundaries between the pre-Socratics and the inauguration of the Dialogues of Plato, and goes to the future of the protagonist in which it concludes a claim for wisdom, far from philosophy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The starting point of this article is a reflection on two texts of the physician and philosopher Bernard de Mandeville base for what I call the "software of capitalism". This, together with the diagnosis made by Sigmund Freud a hundred years ago about civilization and its discontents, allows us to understand the risk of today's postmodern society of completely changing what we call human. The expansion of the death drive and the fall of regimes, alternative to capitalism, together with a criticism of the division of knowledge that favors the instrumental reason to the detriment of synthetic and critical reason, leads me to suggest that the thinkers in human and social sciences are locked in our disciplines and do not manage to understand the possible near end of human adventure. Psychoanalysis must interpret its score in this symphony of the last chance to avoid being replaced by behavioral therapies, showing that although there is a disharmonic bassline that seeks death, there is another one, a harmonic one, that seeks life.

This work aims to explain the transcendence of memory, understood as an imaginary process, in the literary theory and creation. In doing so, we came up with the term “fabled memory” to develop a critical analysis. By studying the dialectic of memory and imagination, which has been present in the philosophical thought since the first classical treatises, it can be evinced not only the consequences of that dichotomy and its close relationship with literature, but also the compelling need of reconsidering it in the dim field of Postmodernism and the writings of the self. Specifically, the Spanish Transition Literature has emerged as one of the most eloquent about the paradox of the fabled memory. Thus, it is demonstrated here through the review of the fictional, essayistic, and paratextual oeuvre of one of its principal writers: Eduardo Mendoza. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to explore from a perspective that links the anthropological and psychological gaze some of the ongoing aspects human beings go through in their lives, focusing on the formulation of several questions. The historical circumstances, the available languages, the consensual practices, the interests involved and the relational ways of the context in which the models of knowledge are woven, determine their characteristics and meanings. Every field of knowledge is crossed by ideological tensions and values which require visibility. Those conceptions and shapes that human feelings acquire -such as discomfort- do not arise spontaneously or naturally but are built on socio-historical and conjectural grounds. At the same time, the psychopathological classifications that aim to collect the feelings of discomfort of the time are perceived, studied and treated as biomedical conditions isolated from the context and not as social constructions that are conceived in social, political and economic ties. Within the framework of a paradigm based on production and consumption, which outshines both the traditional rituals and any emergence of the tragic, which erases the subjective differences and progresses at the expense of an increasing dehumanization, and which highlights everything that allows to adjust to the existing rules as positive aspects of the personality pathologizing the non-functional even when it comes to existential situations typical of daily life, it is necessary to develop a critical reading on the role of psychology and psychotherapy, both from their conceptions of normal and abnormal as from the different therapeutic approaches proposed.

In this article we intend to develop the thesis according to which Santiago Castro-Gómez's critique of Enrique Dussel was a denaturalization of the Argentine philosopher's analysis of the modern project, in which Castro-Gómez brought to the forefront the practices of colonial legacies as a condition of possibility for the emergence of modernity, without the need to resort to the founding figure of the individual, an aspect that is present in Dussel's proposal. This thesis will be demonstrated through a critical dialogue between these two authors around the problem of modernity and coloniality from three analytical keys, postmodernity, modernity and decolonization, in order to think about the way in which colonial practices operated in the modern project through the use of the values present in modernity itself, without this implying a supposed demodernization.

In the eighties of 20th century, Vergil was interpreted from a precise and particular approach inspired by Nietzsche. This new vision could be categorized, basically, as the idea of death (Broch), the sickness of poetry (García Calvo), the commemoration (remembrance) of the bimillennium of his death (Colinas), his poetic rereading from a new aesthetics (Borges and Bernhard), the boom of verse translation (Fontán Barreiro) and, finally, the remarkable picto-rial rereading of his Eneida (Carlos Franco). Therefore, this essay tries to give an account of a specific decade in Vergil's historical reception. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Transhumanism is a philosophical-cultural movement started in the mid-20th century that seeks to consolidate itself in the next decades of the 21st century. It claims the possibility of hyper-developing human capacities to end suffering, remove our limitations and even cross the barrier of death through technoscience. How has a proposal so extreme that it seeks to even genetically alter our human condition been accepted? The answer does not come from high technology, but from the study of a long historical-cultural process that starts, fundamentally, from Modernity and that precipitates into Postmodernity. We will show the anthropological-social transformations that have influenced the development of Transhumanism until we reach our current situation considering Dalmacio Negro's The Myth of the New Man to question transhumanism.

In this investigation, it analyzes the meaning of dramatic like literary and inside postmodern theatre. It understands drama like a practice in relationship between the subject and his environment based on the dialogue and the word, and the spectator's dramaturgy is identified with a post-theatrical reading, in contemporary stage practice.

The objective of this study is to analyze the conceptual trends of ethics and morals in postmodernity. For the analysis it was necessary to base on the theories of Auguste Comte (2000), Hartmann (2011), Habermas (2000) y Cortina (1986). In the method, the qualitative paradigm was followed, with a documentary research, using the hermeneutical method, applying selection criteria such as thematic, chronology, trends, and feasibility of the bibliography for subsequent reading and selection of the postulates that evidence the trends. conceptual. A mostly secular trend was determined within the selected canon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
