Toma-se por foco a análise de três eixos temáticos de relevo constantes do referido texto literário, quais sejam, a velhice, a memória e o poder. Para tanto, dialoga-se perspectivas teóricas de Simone de Beauvoir, no que toca à velhice, e Gerard Genette e Phillipe Lejeune acerca do narrador e do registro de memórias. Discorre-se, ainda, a respeito das relações de poder fomentadas ao longo do romance com fundamento em teses desenvolvidas por Michel Foucault, Louis Althusser e Pierre Bourdieu.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Adolfo Bioy Casares; velhice; conflito geracional; memória; relações de poder

Este artigo objetiva refletir sobre a temática da velhice a partir da análise de Diario da guerra do porco (1969), escrito pelo argentino Adolfo Bioy Casares. Além disso, busca examinar a abordagem conferida a expressões de sexualidade e afeto na idade madura, tomando-se por foco a caracterização de Isidoro Vidal, protagonista do romance. Para tanto, o estudo se vale das perspectivas teóricas de Simone de Beauvoir (2018) acerca da velhice, de Michel Foucault (1979; 1988) a respeito da sexualidade e das relações de poder e de Benedictus de Spinoza (2008) sobre a origem e a natureza dos afetos.

Michel Foucault was born in Poitiers in 1926 and died of AIDS in 1984 at the age of 57. In his short life span Foucault became an emblem for a generation of intellectuals: someone who embodied in his work the most-pressing intellectual issues of his time. In his inaugural lecture at the Collège de France, he named as his closest supports and models Georges Dumèzil, Georges Canguilhem (the philosopher of biology who succeeded Gaston Bachelard at the Sorbonne), and Jean Hyppolite. He was a student both of Louis Althusser and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. He grew up in the tradition of a history of philosophy that dominated the French university, a history that gave pride of place to Hegel and helped to legitimate the contemporaneous emphases on phenomenology and existentialism, especially as it developed in the thought of Jean-Paul Sartre. He was classified by the popular press as a member of the structuralist Gang of Four, along with Claude Lévi-Strauss, Jacques Lacan, and Roland Barthes. Foucault in 1964 indicated his intellectual debts in an early essay titled “Nietzsche, Freud, Marx,” yet his relationship to Marx and Marxism was more complex and problematic than his engagement with Nietzsche, whose Genealogy of Morals (originally published in 1887) provided a model for historical study. He came to Nietzsche through the writings of Georges Bataille and Maurice Blanchot, both of whom exercised tremendous influence on his work. Yet, it was Nietzsche and Martin Heidegger who helped Foucault to frame up his life’s work as the history by which human beings become subjects and to change the emphasis of his early work from political subjugation of “docile bodies” to individuals as self-determining beings continually in the process of constituting themselves as ethical subjects. In this article we focus on internationally published English editions to avoid confusion and to provide readers a balanced overview of top-quality sources currently available.

This article examines the possibility that phenomenology was “always already” a theological enterprise, by outlining some of the foundational criticisms levelled by Michel Foucault and Louis Althusser. For both thinkers, the phenomenological stress on “lived experience” grants an undue primacy to the realm of “interiority”; as a result, subjectivity is left, not just reified, but also deified. By contrast, both Foucault and Althusser will argue for understanding the subject as constituted rather than constitutive; philosophy’s task, accordingly, is to delineate the broader structures (economic, ideological, discursive, linguistic, etc.) that create “lived experience,” rather than to hypostatize the subject as the privileged bearer of logos. As well as outlining the contours of this critique, however, the article indicates some of the shortcomings entailed in a total disavowal of “lived experience.”

Cuentista, poeta, ensayista y traductor,Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) es uno de losgrandes escritores latinoamericanos de todos lostiempos. Ha tenido una enorme repercusión enla obra de autores europeos fundamentales delsiglo XX como Michel Foucault, Umberto Eco,George Steiner y Gérard Genette, entre otros. Setrata de un autor clásico cuyas huellas se dejansentir en el boom de la novela latinoamericanaque se produjo a partir de los años sesenta de lacenturia pasada con autores como Gabriel GarcíaMárquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, Carlos Fuentes yJulio Cortázar, verbigracia. Beatriz Sarlo (2007)considera que Borges logra inventar una tradicióncultural para Argentina, país excéntrico, es decir,que no tiene un centro fijo, sino que se alimentade diversas tradiciones; asimismo, el autor de Ellibro de arena “se maneja con la soltura de unmarginal que hace libre uso de todas las culturas”(Sarlo, 2007, p. 14), Borges dialoga librementecon la literatura occidental y no constituye, porello, un mero imitador de esta última.

Este trabajo pretende analizar el papel jugado por la ideología en lo que respecta al despliegue histórico de los derechos humanos, interrogándose sobre si dicho despliegue ha cumplido con una función eminentemente ideológica. La reflexión transcurrirá a través de la visión de dos pensadores que han sostenido una de las discusiones filosóficas contemporáneas más interesantes: Louis Althusser y Michel Foucault. En un primer momento, se esbozará la teoría althusseriana de la ideología, con el fin de sostener que los derechos humanos han operado como un “aparato ideológico”, interpelando al individuo desde un contexto inmanentemente capitalista. En un segundo momento, comprobaremos que Michel Foucault fue muy crítico con los planteamientos althusserianos. La noción de sujeto trascendental será crucial en dicha crítica, puesto que en la perspectiva foucaultiana nunca existen sujetos constituidos con anterioridad a las tramas de poder efectivas. En el análisis foucaultiano, la ideología dejará de ocupar un lugar esencial. Las aportaciones de Slavoj Žižek también resultarán, por cierto, determinantes en toda esta discusión. Finalmente, se trazarán algunas reflexiones críticas para pensar la posibilidad emancipadora de los derechos humanos en el mundo contemporáneo.

"Genesis, Geltung und Zukunft in der historischen Epistemologie« The paper discusses the relation of genesis and validity (Genesis and Geltung) within the historical epistemologies of Gaston Bachelard, Louis Althusser, and Michel Foucault. From the perspective of emerging knowledge I examine the co-evolution of discontinuous moments, epistemic practices, and objects of knowledge. Based on this analysis, the paper argues that validity (Geltung) should be understood as situated knowledge."

Em busca de uma leitura teoricamente informada das transformações recentes no processo de subjetivação neoliberal, este artigo se desenrola a partir da seguinte questão: em que medida a genealogia da governamentalidade de Michel Foucault dialoga, avança e/ou retrocede em relação ao quadro de contribuições e contradições traçado pela obra de Louis Althusser? A investigação é guiada pela hipótese de que é possível ler a genealogia foucaultiana, tanto da disciplina como da governamentalidade, como um desenvolvimento concreto do programa de investigação da produção política de sujeitos definido no basilar ensaio de Althusser. Trata-se, portanto, de mapear o modo como Althusser informa Foucault para, na volta, refletir em que nível tais formulações foucaultianas podem contribuir à (re)leitura de Althusser e, assim, para uma crítica a ambos em prol de um arcabouço de análise melhor adequado à presente conjuntura do capitalismo.
