Resumen:El punto de partida de Enrique Dussel es la víctima, el oprimido. La víctima tiene un lugar privilegiado en su Filosofía de la Liberación. Enrique Dussel retoma el concepto de Otro de Emmanuel Levinas para poder hablar de un sujeto-víctima. Sin embargo para Enrique Dussel es Foucault quien permite poner en evidencia una pluralidad de estructu- ras de dominación y numerosas víctimas ignoradas por el sistema que deben ser tratadas en la Ética de la Liberación. Enrique Dussel afirma que Foucault hace un análisis específico de los subsistemas y de las instituciones de exclusión. ¿Podríamos encontrar en la obra de Foucault nociones fundamentales para la construcción del concepto de sujeto- víctima? ¿Sería apropiado relacionar el pensamiento foucaultiano y el levinasiano en la propuesta del filósofo latinoamericano? Analizando a Filosofía de la Liberación de Enrique Dussel encontramos que estas dos filosofías francesas se hacen fecundas y se aventuran a puntos de encuentros para convertirse en pilares de la construcción de un proyecto cuyo centro es la víctima.Palabras clave: Razón estratégica - sujeto-víctima - liberación - exclu- sión - poder.Abstract:Enrique Dussel’s starting point is the victim, the oppressed. The victim has a privileged position in his Philosophy of Liberation. Enrique Dussel takes up the concept of Other of Emmanuel Levinas to be able to talk about a subject-victim. However, for Enrique Dussel it is Foucault who makes it possible to highlight a plurality of structures of domination and numerous victims ignored by the system that must be addressed in the Ethics of Liberation. Enrique Dussel claims that Foucault makes a specific analysis of subsystems and exclusion institutions. Could we find in Foucault’s work fundamental notions for the construction of the subject-victim concept? Would it be appropriate to relate Foucauldian and Levinasian thinking to the proposal of the Latin American philoso- pher? Analyzing the Philosophy of the Liberation of Enrique Dussel we find that these two French philosophies become fruitful and venture to meeting points to become pillars of the construction of a project whose center is the victim.Keywords: Strategic reason - subject-victim - liberation - exclusion - powerResumo:O ponto de partida de Enrique Dussel é a vítima, o oprimido.

Resumo: Este artigo tem por objeto apresentar a Filosofia Política Crítica da Libertação em Enrique Dussel, analisando sua gênese e evolução e mostrando a influência decisiva da filosofia da práxis de Karl Marx para esse pensamento, em especial a partir do conceito de exterioridade, entendida como sendo o âmbito onde o outro se revela, onde permanece livre em seu ser distinto. A exterioridade, precisamente, é tida pela Filosofia da Libertação como a categoria principal do legado marxiano e pressuposto teórico fundamental, que viabiliza o discurso de Dussel, sobretudo na opção radical pela vítima, marca de seu pensamento filosófico. Mediante isso, aqui se assume a tese de que há em Dussel uma parcialidade pela vítima: seu pensamento está construído, propositalmente, em favor da vítima. O esforço deste trabalho é o de mostrar que a opção pela vítima será o fio condutor de todo seu pensar, o que cobra da Filosofia da Libertação uma pretensão crítica de pensamento, fazendo com que o labor filosófico seja desafiado e provocado pela necessidade real de auxiliar a vítima, exigência do povo latino-americano em seu caminho de libertação. Em termos de resultado, para além da importância atual do pensamento marxiano para a compreensão da realidade e a crítica ao capitalismo, ressalta-se a relevância teórico-prática do pensamento dusseliano para a Filosofia Política como um todo, pelas suas contribuições no cenário contemporâneo, pela coragem em apontar em direção a outra sociedade, trans-moderna e transcapitalista, já em curso nas práticas coletivas de Bem Viver.Palavras-chaves: Filosofia. Libertação. Enrique Dussel. Bem Viver. Abstract: This article aims to present the Critical Political Philosophy of Liberation in Enrique Dussel, analysing its genesis and evolution and showing the decisive influence of Karl Marx’s philosophy to his thought. Especially from his concept of exteriority, understood as being the space where the other reveals itself, where it remains free in its distinct being. The Externality, precisely, is considered by the Philosophy of Liberation as the main category of the Marxian legacy. It is the fundamental theoretical presupposition, which makes Dussel's speech possible, mainly in the radical choice for the victim, the hallmark of his philosophical thought. Hereby the assumption is made that there is in Dussel a partiality for the victim: his thought is purposely constructed in favour of the victim. The effort of this work is to show that the option for the victim will be the guiding thread of all his thinking, which demands from the Philosophy of Liberation a critical pretension of thought. Thus, causing the philosophical work to be challenged and provoked by the real need to help the victim, the demand of the Latin American people in their way of liberation. In addition to the current importance of Marxian thought for the understanding of reality and the critique of capitalism, the theoreticalpractical relevance of Dusselian thought for Political Philosophy as a whole is emphasized by its contributions in the contemporary scenario, by the courage to point towards another society, trans-modern and transcapitalist, already under way in the collective practices of Well Living.Keywords: Philosophy.

The influence of Pedro Luis Escrivá in the American colonial defense systemThe architect and military engineer Pedro Luis Escrivá (1490 ca. - sixteenth century), at the service of Charles V of Habsburg and the Viceroyal Court of Naples, built two bastioned fortifications designed to considerably influence the subject of territorial defense structures: The quadrangular Spanish Fort of L'Aquila (1534-1567) and the reconstruction of the Sant’Elmo Castle in Naples (1537), with an elongated six-pointed stellar plan, served as a reference point for the European and American fortifications of the period. Due to its size and versatility, the model adopted in L’Aquila was widely used in the Latin American context between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. It is found in countries that were Hispanic colonies such as Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela, Chile, Argentina and Uruguay; as well as in the Hispanic domains of the United States and in some of the dependent territories of the Portuguese crown, in Brazil. Based on a historical-architectural and contextual analysis of these structures, the effects of the “cultural transfer” between Europe and America will be investigated with respect to the model devised by Escrivá to promote its cultural valorization.

This text belongs to the field of Latin American studies and, more specifically, affirm the Philosophy of Liberation as its ethical fundament. It affirms the adoption of an anti-management attitude because the distinction between Northern/Southern management is irrelevant for the victims. Quijano’s coloniality of power and Dussel’s transmodernity  are introduced because they open possibilities for a politicized discussion that goes beyond culturalism and indicate the need of transcending the globalized power of capitalist power as an indispensable condition for the liberation of the victims of this system of power. Follows a critical appraisal of postcolonial studies and a brief overview of its presence in the field of MOS. Finally, the argument for the need of an anti-management perspective is presented.

Abstract Background and Aims Patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) exposed to renal replacement therapy (RRT) have many consequences, both physical and psychological. Dialysis patient rehabilitation is a way to improve the well-being and quality of life of users, but it is an area that has not been commonly explored and where there is much to know. The participation of the Physiotherapist in the rehabilitation of these patients has increased mainly in the last period. The present study aims to carry out an analysis of how the scientific field has behaved in relation to rehabilitation in patients undergoing dialysis, exploring the existing bases for new studies and knowing how it has varied between the years 1996 to 2020. Method The present study is a bibliometric analysis. Through this type of study, it is possible to analyze the scientific production and how is the activity on some subject. It allows, among others, the development of research topics that are little studied, in addition to evaluating the countries, institutions and authors in a certain period. A search for scientific articles was carried out using the web of science (WOS) page, obtaining 236 articles. The search key was TS = (“rehabilitation”) AND TS = (physical exercise or haemodialysis or renal dialysis or peritoneal dialysis) AND TS = (hemodialysis) NOT TS = (fistula). In the same WOS platform, a filter was carried out where only articles, reviews and conference articles were included, excluding editorial material, book chapters and early accesses, articles that are in the range of years between 1990 and 1995 were also excluded. These years were chosen because it was observed that from 1996 an increase in the trend on the subject under study can be observed. With this filtration the articles decrease to 191 results. The Scimat and Bibliometrix biblioshiny softwares were used for their analysis. Results A total of 191 records were compiled among which we have been able to identify different bibliometric indicators that allow us to know the scientific performance and how it has behaved over the years. Figure 1 shows a descriptive graph obtained from biblioshiny bibliometrix where it was shown the annual scientific production of the documents, with dates that fluctuate between 1996 and 2020. It is observed that the scientific production on this issue of rehabilitation in dialysis patients through the years has been developing exponentially since 1996. However, there are years in which production decreased significantly. It was also found the authors who have published the most, the journals and their categorizations, and the network of collaborations that exist between authors from different countries, being the United States the pioneer country in scientific production. Finally, emerging studies on the subject were found. Conclusion In this study we have addressed different points to show and publicize the issue of rehabilitation in dialysis patients, with its greatest contributors in recent years. We can say that many studies are still missing to be able to have a solid base in the rehabilitation of these patients, who are increasing more every day in the world population. Although, we have compiled a significant number of studies, it is probably not all of them, studies that complement the information are needed with other search engines. This study can serve as a starting point for future research, which is necessary in the field of dialysis, although the production rate has increased over the years it is still quite low, it is important that new authors appear who can work among them to advance and thus obtain knowledge that allows us to help and benefit patients around the world. In addition, we have considered it very important to mention and suggest so that Latin American countries can become more interested in this topic, since they are part of the countries that produce the least, however, their population on dialysis increases progressively over the years.

Con este fin, asume sistemáticamente ellocus de enunciación de la periferia capitalista-dependiente del moderno sistema mundial.Palabras clave: Hermenéutica, emergencia, transculturación, Sur.AbstractThis article can be read as a statement of purpose. We propose to outline the starting point of the theoretical project that we will call Emergent Hermeneutics. A first argumentative step in this direction involves re- reading the program of Analogic Hermeneutics proposed by the Mexi- can philosopher Mauricio Beuchot, from the program of the “morality of emergence” constructed by the Argentine philosopher Arturo Roig. Following the tradition of the Philosophy of Liberation, our idea about an “emerging hermeneutics” seeks to elucidate the inter-transcultural policies of the Latin American discourse, and thereby contribute to the South-South dialogue and knowledge. To this end, it systematically as- sumes the locus of enunciation of the capitalist periphery-dependent of the modern world system.Keywords: Hermeneutics - emergence - transculturation - South.ResumoO presente artigo pode ser lido como uma declaração de propósitos.

Resumen: En este estudio realizamos un análisis general sobre la relación entre la identidad is­lámica y el orden público español, y un análisis específico sobre el posible efecto que la concertación de un matrimonio poligámico pueda tener en el derecho a prestaciones de Seguridad Social en España, tomando como punto de partida que su admisión forma parte de la identidad islámica, pero es contraria a principios constitucionales esenciales como el derecho a la no discriminación. Y ello teniendo en cuenta el conjunto de prestaciones que abarca el Sistema español y con particular atención al criterio de los Tribunales en relación a las pensiones más controvertidas, cuáles son las de viudedad y orfandad.Palabras clave: identidad islámica, poligamia, orden público, Sistema Español de Seguridad Social.Abstract: In this study we realized a general analysis on the relationship between Islamic identity and Spanish public order, and a specific analysis on the possible effect that the conclusion of a polyga­mous marriage may have on the right to Social Security benefits in Spain, taking as starting point that its admission is part of the Islamic identity but is contrary to essential constitutional principles such as the right to non-discrimination. And this taking into account the benefits covered by the Spanish system and with particular attention to the criteria of the Courts in relation to the most controversial pensions, which are those of widowhood and orphanage.Keywords: islamic identity, polygamy, public order, Spanish Social Security System.Resumen: En este estudio realizamos un análisis general sobre la relación entre la identidad is­lámica y el orden público español, y un análisis específico sobre el posible efecto que la concertación de un matrimonio poligámico pueda tener en el derecho a prestaciones de Seguridad Social en España, tomando como punto de partida que su admisión forma parte de la identidad islámica, pero es contraria a principios constitucionales esenciales como el derecho a la no discriminación.

Se analizan algunos factores política y socialmente relevantes que dan cuenta de la recuperación de concepciones relacionales del individuo y la sociedad, tales como las expresadas en la filosofía de la liberación, la filosofía andina, el pensamiento decolonial y otras constelaciones teóricas de matriz latinoamericana. Frente al intento del neoliberalismo de construcción de un sujeto empresario de sí mismo que se vincula con los demás en términos de competencia, surge como respuesta en Latinoamérica en general y en Argentina en particular un renovado interés por estudiar y aplicar desarrollos teóricos que privilegian una concepción del sujeto y la subjetividad como una construcción derivada de la primacía de la relación por sobre la sustancia como categoría fundacional de la realidad. Si bien esto concuerda con tendencias similares presentes en otras latitudes, en Latinoamérica se da con características propias, entre otras razones por haber sido en los países del sur de la región en donde primero se pusieron en práctica las propuestas de la escuela de Chicago.This paper analyses some relevant political and social factors that give an account of the interest in relational conceptions of the individual and society, such as those expressed in the philosophy of liberation, Andean philosophy, decolonial thought and other theoretical perspectives that show a Latin American matrix. In contrast to the conception of the subject as an entrepreneur of himself who interacts with others in terms of competition, a renewed interest in studying and using theoretical approaches that privilege a conception of the subject and subjectivity as a construction derived from the primacy of the relation over the substance, understood as a founding category of reality, is becoming relevant in Latin American in general and, particularly, in Argentina. Although this process is consistent with similar tendencies in other parts of the world, it has distinctive characteristics in Latin America because, among other reasons, the agenda of the Chicago School was first introduced and implemented in the southern countries of the region.

This paper focuses on an analysis of the ethical concepts of two of the founders of Latin American philosophy, Carlos Vaz Ferreira and his moral philosophy and Alejandro Korn and his philosophy of freedom, and a contemporary thinker, Enrique Dussel. At the heart of this analysis is the Philosophy of Liberation developed by Leopoldo Zea, Arturo Roig and Dussel, among others. I explicate Dussel's ethics of liberation and its philosophical grounds from his recent writings on the problematic of the foundation of ethics, and go on to discuss the architectonic of the ethics of liberation and the foundation of ethical principles. The analysis involves issues of truth and validity, and the application of principles. Dussel's theory is assessed in comparison with the discourse ethics of Karl-Otto Apel and Jürgen Habermas.
