RESUMEN Esta investigación aborda la validez del espacio público como auspiciador de la participación política, centrándose en las diversas formas de apropiación del espacio que pueden fomentar dicha participación. El objetivo principal consiste en demostrar las posibilidades de acción política de las y los ciudadanos al expresar su desacuerdo a través de distintos procesos de apropiación del espacio público: la apropiación por dominación, por rebelión, la apropiación vandálica y artística. Se sostiene que la legitimidad de un sistema de gobierno puede cuestionarse o debilitarse según la actuación pública del cuerpo ciudadano contra el Estado o la entidad que ejerce la soberanía sobre el espacio. El análisis se llevará a cabo desde la filosofía política de la vertiente disociativa y el realismo político a través de los conceptos de conflicto, soberanía y desacuerdo.

ABSTRACT This research addresses the validity of public space as a promoter of political participation, focusing on the various forms of appropriation of space that can foster said participation. The main objective is to demonstrate the possibilities of political action of citizens by expressing their disagreement through different processes of appropriation of public space: appropriation by domination, appropriation by rebellion, vandalic, and artistic appropriation. It will be argued that the legitimacy of a government system can be questioned or weakened depending on the public actions of the citizen body against the State or the entity that exercises sovereignty over space. The analysis will be carried out from the political philosophy of the dissociative aspect and political realism, through the concepts of conflict, sovereignty, and disagreement.

Abstract: This article deals with how Searle neglects sociology in his social ontology. I analyse this neglecting in terms of the problem of institutions, and their collective recognition. In the first section, I provide a contextualization of Searle’s base external realism, whose aim is to criticize Berger and Luckmann and their constructivist theory. In the second section, I explain how Searle’s concepts of “collective intentionality,” “constitutive rules”, and “cooperation” are interlinked. In the third section, I argue that the collective recognition of institutions is still an open to debate philosophical problem. In the fourth section, I show how “critical mass”, a concept from sociology, allows how Serlean institutions can be elucidated. In the fifth section, I emphasize the sociological importance of contexts C, and how Searle underestimates their crucial role. In the sixth and final section, I offer a paradigmatic example of an institution, money, to show how sociology is and has been decisive in Searle’s social ontology.

Resumen: En este artículo trato con cómo Searle descuida la sociología en su ontología social. En particular, analizo dicho descuido mediante el problema de las instituciones y su reconocimiento colectivo. En la primera sección, contextualizo la aproximación serleana realista de base al estudio de la civilización humana con el objetivo de mostrar los supuestos antirrealistas constructivistas de Berger y Luckmann. En la segunda, explico cómo se vinculan los conceptos de “intencionalidad colectiva”, “reglas constitutivas” y “cooperación”. En la tercera, argumento que el reconocimiento colectivo de las instituciones todavía es un problema filosófico abierto. En la cuarta, muestro de qué forma un concepto sociológico, el de “masa crítica”, permite explicar el reconocimiento de las instituciones serleanas. En la quinta, enfatizo la dinámica sociológica de los contextos C y cómo la teoría serleana subestima su rol fundamental. Finalmente, en la sexta sección, presento el ejemplo paradigmático de una institución, la del dinero, pues esta refrenda cómo la sociología ha aportado y puede seguir aportando a la ontología social serleana.

Abstract This paper’s research focuses on a multidimensional racism suffered by Haitians migrants in the Dominican Republic, which appears to be social and political as well. The direct experience of the author in the Dominican Republic strengthens an empirical and theoretical analysis for questioning a possible correlation between Dominican politics, nationalism, and popular support for the general exclusion, within the Dominican national system, of Haitian migrants. Through an initial review of relevant literature, from the fields of Sociology and Migration, this article defines the concept of Agamben’s Homo Sacer. Agamben’s theoretical contribution is useful to identify the state’s will to exclude Haitian migrants. In addition, Sayad’s concept of State-thinking will also be used. Moreover, the historical focus on community’s search for national identity relies on Rappaport’s works and then related to the Dominican Republic. Exclusion and marginalization of Haitian migrants is also analyzed by outlining the lack of governmental data and updated information about immigrants, leading to hypothetical correlations between State-promoted illegalization of Haitian migrants, enforced by local politics, and a social dimension of racial nationalism. With a focus on International Relations on Political Science, the study describes that the current Dominican government, headed by President Luis Abinader, shows a trend influenced by a past heritage of political realism and nationalism in its bilateral relations with Haiti, since, it is worth noting, there seems to be relevant consensus in the Dominican society for such hardline policies.

Resumen Este trabajo analiza la presencia de un racismo multidimensional, de carácter social y político, padecido por los migrantes haitianos en República Dominicana. La experiencia directa del autor en República Dominicana motiva la búsqueda de un análisis empírico y teórico que pueda interrogarse sobre una posible correlación entre el nacionalismo en la política dominicana y el apoyo popular hacia la exclusión de los migrantes haitianos en el sistema nacional dominicano. A través de una inicial revisión de la literatura de referencia del campo sociológico y migratorio, se define el concepto de Homo Sacer expuesto por Agamben. El aporte teórico de Agamben es útil para identificar la voluntad estatal de excluir a los migrantes haitianos. Además, se tomará el concepto de pensamiento de Estado identificado por Sayad, mientras que el foco histórico en la cuestión identitaria dominicana cuenta con aportes procedentes de las obras de Rappaport. La marginalización y exclusión de los migrantes haitianos se estudia también cuestionando la ausencia de datos y registros actualizados por el Gobierno dominicano, queriendo proponer eventuales correlaciones entre la ilegalización estatal de los migrantes haitianos, con el aval de la política dominicana, y una forma social de nacionalismo racial. Utilizando también un enfoque propio de las Relaciones Internacionales y la Ciencia Política, se describe cómo el actual gobierno de República Dominicana, encabezado por el presidente Luis Abinader, muestra una tendencia hacia pasados elementos de realismo político y nacionalismo en las relaciones bilaterales con Haití, donde, cabe incluir, encuentra un efectivo consenso por parte de la sociedad dominicana.

Abstract. This paper seeks to describe F. H. Jacobi’s critique of transcendental philosophy concerning the problem of affection and the thing in itself. This critique attributes to Kant’s thought an idealism incompatible with any notion of realism. Jacobi’s interpretation, however, rests on an ignorance of the methodological-transcendental nature not only of the terminology involved in the problem of affection, but of the whole Kantian reflection about knowledge. The exegetical model of the two aspects view has provided instruments that allowed for a hermeneutical reconstruction of the problem of affection and put in evidence the methodological mistake present in Jacobi’s critique.

Resumen. El presente artículo busca describir la crítica de F. H. Jacobi a la filosofía trascendental en torno al problema de la afección y la cosa en sí. Esta crítica atribuye al pensamiento de Kant un idealismo incompatible con toda noción de realismo. La interpretación de Jacobi, sin embargo, se apoya sobre un desconocimiento de la naturaleza metodológico-trascendental no solo de la terminología involucrada en el problema de la afección, sino de toda la reflexión kantiana acerca del conocimiento. El modelo exegético de la two aspects view ha proporcionado instrumentos que nos permiten una reconstrucción hermenéutica del problema de la afección y ponen en evidencia el extravío metodológico en la crítica de Jacobi.

ABSTRACT: The painting Las floristas indias, by Camilo Egas, changed the representation of the indigenous in the plastic arts of Ecuador. Before that painting, the indigenous, from positivism, was objectified until erasing the traces that revealed their subjectivity. After this painting, the representation of the indigenous, in a naturalistic conception, was endowed with a social context, a geographical landscape and a historical development. However, this new representation, under the influence of 'social realism', degenerated into a reprehensible representation.

RESUMEN: El cuadro Las floristas indias, de Camilo Egas, significó una ruptura en la representación del indígena en las artes plásticas del Ecuador. Con anterioridad a este cuadro, el indígena, bajo una mirada positivista, quedaba objetivado hasta borrar las huellas que revelaran su subjetividad. Después del mencionado cuadro, la representación del indígena, en una concepción naturalista, se dotó de un contexto social, de un paisaje geográfico y de un devenir histórico. Sin embargo, esa nueva mirada, bajo la influencia del “realismo social”, degeneró en una representación repudiable.

Abstract In his article “La verdad y el éxito de la ciencia: A propósito de un artículo de P. Kyle Stanford” (2002), Manuel Comesaña addresses fundamental questions about the nature and success of science, taking P. Kyle Stanford’s article as a reference for his critical analysis. Although the central focus of both works is not specifically on the Copernican Revolution, it is relevant to analyse how both authors use this historical example from astronomy to illustrate their metaphysical commitments. Rigorous analysis of this historiographical episode will provide better foundations for the broader discussion of the realism-anti-realism debate. It is for this reason that we will undertake a critical study and subsequent correction of the way in which both authors set up their accounts to exemplify their positions. What we have come to contribute with our commentary is not a position that attempts to account for the success of the anti-realist proposals that the authors are interested in debating, but rather we intend to shed light on the treatment given to the historical case in order to clarify certain obscure points in the debate.

Resumen En su artículo “La verdad y el éxito de la ciencia: A propósito de un artículo de P. Kyle Stanford” (2002), Manuel Comesaña aborda cuestiones fundamentales sobre la naturaleza y el éxito de la ciencia, tomando como referencia el artículo de P. Kyle Stanford para proceder a su análisis crítico. Aunque el foco central de ambos trabajos no se encuentra específicamente en la revolución copernicana, es relevante analizar cómo ambos autores utilizan este ejemplo histórico proveniente de la astronomía para ilustrar sus compromisos metafísicos. El análisis riguroso de este episodio historiográfico proporcionará mejores fundamentos para la discusión más amplia sobre el debate realismo-antirrealismo. Es por esto que vamos a realizar un estudio crítico con su posterior corrección sobre la manera en que ambos autores configuran su relato para la ejemplificación de sus posturas. Lo que venimos a aportar con nuestro comentario no es una posición que intente dar cuenta del éxito de las propuestas antirrealistas que les interesa debatir a los autores, sino que pretendemos arrojar luz sobre el tratamiento que se le dio al caso histórico de modo de clarificar ciertos puntos oscuros en el debate.

SIGNIFICANCE: The inclusion of indigenous knowledge into the curricula of natural science courses remains contentious. In this paper I use critical realism to show the relationship between these two forms of knowledge. An engagement with both knowledge structures could afford better pedagogy and assessment. In addition, the engagement with indigenous knowledge allows for the development of 'knower awareness' in the practice of science. Meaningful engagement with indigenous knowledge could therefore enhance science education, whilst making visible the socio-cultural relevance to students.

Abstract This article offers an approach to Revista de España (1868-1895), reviewing its origin and historical relevance in order to comment on some of its material and morphological aspects, as well as to focus on its literary sections. For nearly 30 years this publication founded by José Luis Albareda, thanks to its eclectic spirit, brought together prominent figures from the cultural and political scene of the second half of the 19th century. Under its insignia of impartiality and encyclopedism, Revista de España featured writers such as Juan Valera, Benito Pérez Galdós, and Emilia Pardo Bazán, who, through their poetry, novels, and literary criticism, showcased the codification in the magazine and some debates on the Realism paradigm in Spain, which coincidently ended at the same time as the publication disappeared in the last years of that century.

Resumen En este acercamiento a Revista de España (1868-1895) primero se repasa su origen y relevancia histórica, para comentar aspectos sobre su materialidad y morfología, y recalar finalmente en sus secciones literarias. A lo largo de una andadura de casi 30 años, esta publicación fundada por José Luis Albareda llegó a reunir en su eclecticismo a grandes figuras de la cultura y la política de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. Bajo su enseña de imparcialidad y enciclopedismo, congregó a escritores como Juan Valera, Benito Pérez Galdós o Emilia Pardo Bazán. Todos ellos, a través de sus poéticas, novelas y textos de crítica literaria, mostraron en la revista la codificación y algunas polémicas sobre el paradigma realista en España, cuyo final coincidió con la desaparición de la publicación en los últimos años de la centuria.

Abstract The history of feminist movements has been marked by the fight for the human rights of girls and women and the search for equal opportunities for people of different genders, races/ethnicities and social classes. In this article, we analyse the (re)configuration of rights defended by women's movements into "post-rights" based on news published on two digital platforms for women: Delas (Portugal) and Universa (Brazil). To this end, we adopt Critical Discourse Analysis as a methodological approach, in connection with feminist media studies and critical realism, to understand the mechanisms of discursive engineering underlying the process of platformization of women's rights in Delas and Universa.

Resumo A história dos movimentos feministas tem sido marcada pela luta pelos direitos humanos de meninas e mulheres e pela busca por igualdade de oportunidades entre as pessoas dos diferentes gêneros, raças/etnias e classes sociais. Neste artigo, analisamos a (re)configuração dos direitos defendidos pelos movimentos de mulheres em “pós-direitos” a partir de notícias publicadas em duas plataformas digitais para mulheres: Delas (Portugal) e Universa (Brasil). Para isso, adotamos como abordagem metodológica a Análise Crítica do Discurso e suas ligações com os estudos feministas e com o realismo crítico para compreender os mecanismos da engenharia discursiva subjacente ao processo de plataformização dos direitos das mulheres em Delas e em Universa.

Resumen A partir del concepto de “crítica viva”, acuñado por Antonio Candido en 1957, estas reflexiones parten de la hipótesis de que la historia literaria española tiene en el realismo el lugar no marcado de su narrativa en lengua castellana. Haciendo un recorrido por los “momentos decisivos” de su tradición novelística, este ensayo postula que si el realismo aparece recalcado en los narradores españoles a partir del siglo XIX (cuando se forma un sistema literario eminentemente liberal-conservador), se debe al hecho de que este debate, no trabado, permanece en estado de “querella”. crítica viva, viva , viva” 1957 castellana momentos decisivos novelística cuando liberalconservador, liberalconservador liberal conservador liberal-conservador) debate trabado querella. querella . “querella” 195 liberal-conservador “querella 19 1

Abstract Drawing on the concept of “living criticism” coined by Antonio Candido (1957), these reflections start from the hypothesis that Spanish literary history has realism as the unmarked place of its narrative in the Castilian language. By reviewing the “decisive moments” of its novelistic tradition, this essay postulates that if realism appears repressed in Spanish narrators from the 19th century onwards (when an eminently liberal-conservative literary system is formed), it is due to the fact that this debate, left unaddressed, still remains in a state of “quarrel”. living criticism 1957, 1957 , (1957) language decisive moments tradition th when liberalconservative liberal conservative formed, formed formed) debate unaddressed quarrel. quarrel . “quarrel” 195 (1957 “quarrel 19 (195 1 (19 (1 (

Resumen El trabajo estudia la copresencia del realismo literario y constitucional en la narrativa latinoamericana de la violencia, en este caso, Ciudad de Dios (1997) del autor brasileño Paulo Lins y Bicentenaire (2004) del haitiano Lyonel Trouillot. Tanto los textos realistas que tratan aristotélicamente a personajes marginados en un espacio-tiempo con marcas locales, como los textos ‘realistas’ que tratan rousseauianamente al gobernado sujeto a normas ciudadanas para ser aceptadas y practicadas, permiten una apreciación que pasa del género socioverbal convencionado a la significación bien literaria o bien política. Observando que la categoría de 'identidad política' y la experiencia de la exclusión social unen los realismos en los estudios literarios-culturales y en los estudios constitucionales, se pretende ‘leer’ como un ‘acto democrático’ las escrituras que ficcionalizan: la ausencia del estado brasileño frente a la violencia periférica, y la violencia represiva del Estado parapolicial haitiano durante manifestaciones de calle.

Abstract The article studies the co-presence of literary and constitutional realism in the Latin American narrative of violence, in this case, City of God (1997) by the Brazilian author Paulo Lins and Bicentenaire (2004) by the Haitian Lyonel Trouillot. Both realistic texts, in line with Aristotelian requisites, that treat marginalized characters in a space-time with local marks, and ‘realist’ texts, in line with Rousseauian requisites, that treat the governed subject to citizen norms to be accepted and practiced, allow an appreciation that goes beyond the convened socio-verbal genre to both literary and political meaning. Noting that the category of ‘political identity’ and the experience of social exclusion unite these realisms in literary-cultural studies and constitutional studies, it is intended to ‘read’ as a ‘democratic act’ the writings that fictionalize: the absence of the Brazilian state in the face of peripheral violence, and the repressive violence of the Haitian parapolice State during street protests. When comparing the realisms and situating the constitutional contexts, an ‘enlightenment’ and ‘modern’ master language is observed whose exercise (re)produces the ‘democratic’ imperative. copresence co presence case 1997 (1997 2004 (2004 Trouillot texts requisites spacetime space time marks ‘realist realist practiced socioverbal socio verbal meaning identity literarycultural cultural ‘read read democratic act fictionalize protests contexts ‘enlightenment enlightenment ‘modern modern reproduces re produces imperative 199 (199 200 (200 19 (19 20 (20 1 (1 2 (2 (

In the context of a need for finding and enabling alternatives to unequal and extractivist perspectives on development, growth, and human well-being, this positioning paper explores possibilities for STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) education with an education for sustainable development focus that counters disciplinary alienations particularly between the arts and the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) disciplines. The paper argues that unnecessary alienations between cultural-emblematic and mathematical-logical epistemes, especially those linked to narrow interpretations and restricted developments in dialogism and dialectics, respectively, are influenced by restricted understandings of epistemological, ontological, and praxiological philosophical drivers in meaning making and responsive action. In response, the paper develops a series of philosophical principles that, it argues, could usefully underpin STEAM education practices. These are a) iterations of epistemological expansion and contraction (in response to monologic meaning making), b) an expansive and deepening ontology (in response to ontological collapse in describing the world), c) critical and judgmental rationality (finding a middle ground between radical relativism and dogma), and d) concrete utopianism (in response to idealism and additive holisticism). The emergence of the four philosophical principles is developed through illustrative examples of a broad range of arts (fine art, performance art, photography, film, poetry, prose, and music).

Abstract This paper is a comparative analysis of the international systems of Ancient China and early modern Europe. It presents a geopolitical approach from structural realism, which intends to answer why Europe did not develop an imperial order in contrast with China with a similar multi-State system. This study hypothesizes that high geopolitical fragmentation, besides geographic conditions, created an anarchic international system, and it precluded the formation of a continental empire in Europe thanks to the balance of power. To contrast this hypothesis, it examines the main traits of the Chinese international system and how it evolved towards an imperial order. That leads to studying the international system in Europe and how its geopolitical environment prevented the rise of a universal empire.

Resumen Este artículo es un análisis comparado de los sistemas internacionales de la antigua China y de la temprana Europa moderna. Presenta un enfoque geopolítico desde el realismo estructural que pretende responder a por qué Europa no desarrolló un orden imperial en contraste con China con un sistema multiestatal similar. Este estudio hipotetiza que la elevada fragmentación geopolítica, además de las condiciones geográficas, creó un sistema internacional anárquico e impidió la formación de un imperio continental en Europa gracias al equilibrio de poder. Para contrastar esta hipótesis se examinan los principales rasgos del sistema internacional chino y cómo evolucionó hacia un orden imperial. Esto nos lleva a estudiar el sistema internacional en Europa y cómo impidió el surgimiento de un imperio universal.

Abstract As a non-representationalist form of integrating methodological naturalism with ontological naturalism, this work proposes a distinction between phenomenic and rational intuitions. Since this is not a static distinction, it offers a way of observing in which sense the apparent circularity between mental and theoretical representations is not a vicious one. The argument’s plausibility will have to be reinforced through considerations about the unstability of ontologies and about how to conceive conflicting intuitions.

Resumen Como una forma no-representacionalista de integrar el naturalismo metodológico con el naturalismo ontológico, este trabajo propone una distinción entre intuiciones fenoménicas e intuiciones racionales. Al no ser una distinción estática, ofrece una manera de ver en qué sentido la aparente circularidad entre representaciones mentales y representaciones teóricas no sería viciosa. La plausibilidad del argumento deberá ser reforzada mediante consideraciones sobre la inestabilidad de las ontologías y sobre cómo concebir intuiciones en conflicto.

Abstract In this Dossier, four scholars reflect on Nicholas Onuf’s leading article, ‘Metaphoricizing modernity’, (re)engaging with – and celebrating – more broadly Onuf’s groundbreaking work from different places, perspectives, and angles. Part III (re)engages with (his) reconfigurations of Modernity and/as metaphor(s), including an extensive, and much careful response from Onuf to those four scholars and their (re)readings published in this Dossier: Celebrating Nicholas Onuf. Michael Marks is the fourth scholar to engage with and reflect on Onuf’s leading article, and his work more broadly. Marks reads Onuf’s essay on metaphoricising modernity as an invitation to see modernity in terms of its metaphorical qualities; that is, as an opportunity to reflect not only on modernity, but on the nature of metaphors and how they figure in scholarly inquiry. More specifically, for him, Onuf’s characterization of modernity as embodying notions of forward motion and territorial physicality is one of the main insights of his essay that could be further explored with additional theoretical analysis. Nicholas Onuf closes this Part and the Dossier more broadly, carefully engaging with and responding to the contributions of Victor Coutinho Lage (in Part I), Manuela Trindade Viana (in Part II), Roberto Vilchez Yamato (in Part II), and Michael Marks (in Part III). Rethinking reconfiguration as a general, constitutive process, Onuf (re)engages with modernization and modernity’s universal ethos, while responding to his postcolonial critics and their (re)readings of his highly generalized model of world-making. In so doing, Onuf also (re)engages with the concept and conceptualization of metaphors, repositioning his work and stance as a form of ‘embodied anti-realism’. For him, old ontologies never die; like metaphors, they just layer up.

Resumo Neste Dossiê, quatro acadêmicos refletem sobre o artigo de Nicholas Onuf, ‘Metaphoricizing modernity’, retornando – e celebrando – de forma mais ampla o inovador trabalho de Onuf a partir de diferentes lugares, perspectivas e ângulos. A Parte III dedica-se a reconfigurações da Modernidade e/como metáfora(s), incluindo uma extensa e cuidadosa resposta de Onuf a esses quatro acadêmicos e suas (re)leituras publicadas no Dossiê: Celebrando Nicholas Onuf. Michael Marks é o quarto acadêmico a refletir sobre o artigo de Onuf e seu trabalho de forma mais ampla. Marks lê o ensaio de Onuf sobre a metaforização da modernidade como um convite para (re)vê-la em termos de suas qualidades metafóricas, ou seja, como uma oportunidade de refletir não apenas sobre a modernidade, mas também sobre a natureza das metáforas e como elas aparecem na pesquisa acadêmica. Mais especificamente, para ele, a caracterização de Onuf da modernidade, como incorporando noções de movimento progressivo e fisicalidade territorial, é um dos principais insights de seu ensaio que poderia ser mais explorado com uma análise teórica adicional. Nicholas Onuf encerra esta Parte e o Dossiê, como um todo, retornando e cuidadosamente respondendo às contribuições de Victor Coutinho Lage (na Parte I), Manuela Trindade Viana (na Parte II), Roberto Vilchez Yamato (na Parte II) e Michael Marks (na Parte III). Repensando a reconfiguração como um processo geral e constitutivo, Onuf se volta à modernização e ao etos universal da modernidade, ao mesmo tempo em que responde aos seus críticos pós-coloniais e suas (re)leituras de seu modelo altamente generalizado de criação de mundo (world-making). Ao fazer isso, Onuf também retorna ao conceito e à conceituação de metáforas, reposicionando seu trabalho e sua posição como uma forma de ‘antirrealismo incorporado’. Para ele, as ontologias antigas nunca morrem; assim como as metáforas, elas apenas se sobrepõem.
