Los tres trabajos que integran este dossier se inscriben en la reflexión sobre las maneras de actuar y de conocer propias de la sociedad contemporánea; éste reúne el trabajo de crítica que a partir de autores como Max Weber, Theodor W. Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Martin Heidegger, Michel Foucault, Antonio Negri, Michael Hardt, entre otros, nos ha permitido identificar categorías básicas para investigar y comprender la especificidad de nuestra época. En el marco de la sociedad de control y las peculiaridades del biopoder, el análisis de la situación presente nos lleva a pensar en torno a una forma categorial esencialmente incondicionada; esto es, al ser humano y la formación de su identidad, al individuo que vive en condiciones tanto de opresión como de crítica y de resistencia

El presente artículo examina las relaciones entre escritura, técnica y pensamiento. Las reflexiones de Martin Heidegger en torno a porqué la ciencia no piensa nos permiten abordar el problema de la homogenización del pensamiento y de la escritura en las universidades contemporáneas. Afirmar hoy que «la academia no piensa» invita a una reflexión respecto a esos modos de pensamiento y escritura imperantes. Siguiendo los vínculos que Heidegger establece entre el avenimiento de la técnica y la transformación de la escritura analizamos su noción de serenidad para contraponerla al modo en que Friedrich Nietzsche, Walter Benjamin y Michel Foucault se sirven de distintos objetos técnicos para generar nuevas formas de pensamiento y de escritura.

Este artigo aborda o tema da relação entre Saber e Verdade, problematizando-o por meio da seguinte questão: quais as consequências da ausência da Parrésia nos processos de escolarização? São apresentados os resultados de uma pesquisa bibliográfica que objetivou: (a) compreender as relações entre Parrésia, Escolarização e modernidade; (b) discutir como opera o processo de escolarização e as influências que recebe no campo discursivo; (c) discutir, por intermédio da categoria Fábrica-Escola, as consequências da não utilização da Parrésia nos processos de escolarização. Adotou-se a abordagem transdisciplinar tendo em vista a complexidade e a pluralidade dos textos escolhidos. Foram analisados textos dos autores Michel Foucault, Martin Heidegger, Karl Marx, Walter Benjamin, entre outros. Pode-se concluir que as relações entre Parrésia, escolarização e modernidade influenciam nos diferentes processos de escolarização. E que as consequências da ausência de Parrésia nesses processos influência de maneira negativa as relações entre professores e alunos.

Throughout his oeuvre, Giorgio Agamben makes numerous references to Georges Bataille. Already in the 1977 Stanzas, Bataille’s general economy is afforded one of the scholia of the chapter ‘The Appropriation of Unreality’ and scolded for its alleged simplification of Marcel Mauss’s account of the gift. A brief discussion of the letters that Bataille and Alexandre Kojève exchanged in 1937 is contained in Agamben’s 1982 Language and Death and picked up again in 2002’s The Open: Man and Animal. The only text that exclusively deals with Bataille, however, is Agamben’s 1987 essay ‘Bataille e il paradosso della sovranità’. By the time Agamben begins the Homo Sacer project (1995), and in particular in Means Without End (1996), Bataille has been banished into unambiguously dismissive footnotes or ‘thresholds’ in which Agamben distances himself from Bataille’s definitions of the sacred, sacrifice and sovereignty. Thus, unlike Carl Schmitt, Martin Heidegger, Walter Benjamin or Michel Foucault, Bataille not only cannot be considered one of Agamben’s main informants, but receives all but marginal attention from him – and this despite the fact that Bataille is generally held to be one of the crucial thinkers of the sacred and of sovereignty.

En la época moderna se prioriza uno de nuestros dos «lados», el «lado» analítico, a expensas de nuestro «lado» más sintético e intuitivo. Las nefastas consecuencias del énfasis en la razón instrumental que empezó en la época de Francis Bacon han sido descritas elocuentemente por varios pensadores importantes, incluyendo Max Weber, Martin Heidegger y Jürgen Habermas. El descuido de nuestras capacidades imaginativas puede empobrecer nuestras producciones artísticas y científicas y puede dificultar el acceso a la experiencia religiosa. La solución pasa por fomentar las habilidades que están siendo marginadas progresivamente en el sistema educativo actual en un intento de conseguir un sano equilibrio o armonía entre las distintas habilidades cognitivas del ser humano.

This article reads Aby Warburg's and Walter Benjamin's work on the astrological movements of the Reformation era in dialogue with the theory of relations between the spiritual and the temporal developed in Protestant "war theology" during World War I. War theology developed themes already present in historical Protestant doctrine, notably Luther's Two Kingdoms theory (Zwei Reiche Lehre). Warburg and Benjamin were wrestling with the challenge of living at a time of great conflict in a highly sacralized——rather than secularized——world with deep roots in early modern Lutheranism. Max Weber was working out his ideas about magic, Calvinism, and secularization at the same time. The article thus also suggests the need to reassess his theses about the emergence of a secular world purged of irrationalism in dialogue with Warburg's and Benjamin's work.

French philosopher, writer, artist and translator Pierre Klossowski was born in Paris and raised in Switzerland, Germany and France. His education was influenced by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926) and André Gide (1869–1951). A friend of Georges Bataille (1897–1962), Walter Benjamin (1892–1940) and Pierre-Jean Jouve (1887–1976), Klossowski produced French translations of works by Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900), Franz Kafka (1883–1924), Martin Heidegger (1889–1976) and Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951) from German, and of the works of Suetonius, Virgil, Augustine and Tertullian from Latin.

Herbert Bauer, known to the world as Béla Balázs (1894–1949), led the sort of life about which contemporary intellectuals might fantasize. He knew everyone and he did everything. Born in Hungary, he included György Lukács, Karl Mannheim, Arnold Hauser, Béla Bartók, and Zoltán Kodály in his circle, among others. He knew the filmmakers Alexander Korda and Michael Curtiz before their names were Anglicized. He studied with Georg Simmel and met Max Weber. As time went on, he came, so it seems, to know virtually every major European intellectual—Stefan Zweig, Robert Musil, Walter Benjamin, Sergei Eisenstein, Erwin Piscator, and on and on. He lived in the midst of a universe of conversation that dazzles us as we look back enviously upon it.

Abstract This essay is motivated by the question, how might we describe the occurrences of cultural borders? It is organized in three sections with these titles: A. Borders of Concealment and Translation; B. Attunement with Fragmented, Differential Borders; C. Metaphors, Relations of Power, Borderlands. I limit these topics by focusing primarily on cultural borders and transformations within the United States. My aims within the context of these situated accounts are to encourage greater awareness of borders as events that often have shared and describable characteristics, to make evident a group of issues that need further philosophical attention, to develop an enlarged philosophical vocabulary for such thought in comparison to that in standard use, and to bring to the fore questions of cultural sensibility and their transformations. In this process I address and utilize specific works by Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, and Gloria Anzaldúa.
