En este ensayo analizo cómo la representación de la basura puede funcionar como contradiscurso en dos obras de ideología opuesta: la pieza teatral El cubo de la basura (1951) de Alfonso Sastre y la novela Mi vida en la basura (1955) de Ángeles Villarta. Relacionando el concepto de lo abyecto que proponen Julia Kristeva y Iris Marion Young con la teoría del espacio urbano de Henry Lefebvre, examino cómo estas obras trazan una geografía urbana de abyección que subvierte el discurso triunfalista imperante en la posguerra española al interconectar la basura con la experiencia del espacio vivido de los protagonistas. Además, mi análisis sobre la interpretación de lo que constituye ‘basura’ revela la dificultad de clasificar la ideología de un texto como conservadora o progresista de forma categórica ya que este mismo texto puede desestabilizar y reforzar el discurso dominante simultáneamente dependiendo de la perspectiva analítica del lector.

Статья посвящена анализу того, как постструктуралистские представления о «тексте» и «текстуальном» влияют на академическую библеистику и традиционную экзегезу. Автор на множестве примеров показывает, что критический настрой философии Деррида помогает читателю Писания, придерживающегося традиционных для религиозных общин (христианство, иудаизм) принципов толкования, отстоять своё право на подобную герменевтическую программу перед лицом библейской критики и вызовов академического рационализма. При исследовании этого влияния автор опирается на работы известных французских философов: Жака Деррида, Юлии Кристевой, Ролана Барта. The article is devoted to the analysis of how post-structural notions of «text» and «textuality» influence academic biblical studies and traditional exegesis. The author shows, through a variety of examples, that the critical approach of Derrida’s philosophy helps the reader of Scripture who adheres to the traditional principles of traditional interpretation to defend his right to such a hermeneutic program in the face of biblical criticism and the challenges of academic rationality. In studying this influence, the author draws on the works of famous French philosophers: Jacques Derrida, Julia Kristeva, Roland Bart.

This chapter puts many of the ideas outlined previously to work in considering the problem of responsibility for systemic injustice. Building on the insights of Iris Marion Young and Marion Smiley, it argues that responsibility must be reconceptualized as a political rather than a philosophical problem and that its solution lies in counterhegemonic political struggles over the meaning of injustice itself. The chapter shows, in a concrete way, what such struggles might look like, describing the ways in which social conventions and interpretations structure our thinking about responsibility and what might be done to challenge and change them. It concludes that to take responsibility for injustice is to take up this political work.

This article explains how the issue of inclusion is central to Habermas’s theory of democracy and how it is deeply rooted in his conception of a political public sphere. After recalling Habermas’s views on the public sphere, I present and discuss various objections raised by other critical theorists: Oskar Negt and Alexander Kluge, Nancy Fraser, Axel Honneth and Iris Marion Young. These criticisms insist on the paradoxically excluding effects of a conception of democracy that promotes civic participation in the public debate. Negt, Kluge and Fraser develop a Marxist line of analysis that question who can participate in the public sphere. Honneth and Young criticize in various ways the excluding effect of argumentation: are unargumentative speeches excluded from the public debate? I show how Habermas’s model can provide some responses to these various objections by drawing inspiration from his treatment of the gap between religious and post-metaphysical world views.

AbstractIn recent cosmopolitan work, scholars such as Julia Kristeva, Zygmunt Bauman, Jacques Derrida, and Ulrich Beck have represented the stranger as a universal ideal for our global age and Georg Simmel’s stranger in the Exkurs über den Fremden has been emphasized as a model for this ideal. While these uses can be justified by generalized passages in Simmel’s essay, they still omit the problem of European Jewish historical exemplarity. Thus, in the decades before Simmel’s essay, this stranger type was already a well-developed figure related to the so-called Jewish question. Georg Brandes and Henrik Pontoppidan used the Jewish stranger to evaluate the societal changes of the fin-de-siècle period and questions of progress vs. decay. Yet, their work limited the stranger to a specific type of Jewishness not including other marginal existences. Hence, reading Simmel with Brandes and Pontoppidan outlines the boundaries of this stranger type as it raises questions regarding recent cosmopolitan uses of Simmel’s stranger.

How much violence can a society expect its members to accept? A comparison between the language theories of Julia Kristeva and Jacques Lacan is the starting point for answering this question. A look at the early stages of language acquisition exposes the sacrificial logic of patriarchal society. Are those forces that restrict the individual to be conceived in a martial imagery of castration or is it possible that an existing society critically questions those points of socialization that leave their members in a state of homelessness? The following considerations should help to distinguish between unavoidable and avoidable forms of violence.
