Authors like Freud and Lacan often recurred to fiction in order to illustrate psychopathological structures. Starting from a psychoanalytical perspective, this paper focuses on the main character of the short story ‘The Altar of the Dead’ by Henry James. We argue that the different strategies he displays during his life, as described by the author, are in fact a way to avoid confronting the object of desire and suggest an obsessional structure. For the obsessional subject, all that matters is to assure the object’s subsistence while making it untouchable. Desire is thus conceived as impossible, and this is one of the ways of granting the ex-sistence of the object that arouses it. The idealization of death, the inhibition of sensual love and the ritualization of his existence are the symptoms of a personal struggle that will prove to be absolutely unsolvable. structures perspective Dead James life author structure subject objects s untouchable impossible exsistence ex sistence death unsolvable

Des auteurs comme Freud et Lacan ont souvent eu recours à la fiction pour illustrer des structures psychopathologiques. Partant d’une perspective psychanalytique, cet article se concentre sur le personnage principal de la nouvelle “L’autel des morts” d’Henry James. Nous soutenons que les différentes strategies dont il fait preuve au cours de sa vie, telles que décrites par l’auteur, servent à éviter la confrontation à l’objet du désir et suggèrent une structure obsessionnelle. Pour le sujet obsessionnel, il s’agit d’assurer la subsistance de l’objet tout en le rendant intouchable. Le désir est donc conçu comme impossible, une façon d’assurer l’existence de l’objet qui le produit. L’idéalisation de la mort, l’inhibition de l’amour sensuel et la ritualisation de son existence sont les symptômes d’une lutte personnelle, un conflit qui s’avérera insoluble. psychopathologiques dune d psychanalytique Lautel L autel morts dHenry Henry James vie lauteur, lauteur l auteur, auteur l’auteur lobjet objet obsessionnelle obsessionnel sagit s agit dassurer assurer intouchable impossible lexistence produit Lidéalisation idéalisation mort linhibition inhibition lamour amour personnelle savérera avérera insoluble

Resumos Autores como Freud e Lacan têm usado com frequência a ficção para ilustrar diferentes estruturas psicopatológicas. A partir de uma perspectiva psicanalítica, nosso artigo se concentrará no personagem principal do romance de Henry James “O Altar dos Mortos”. Propomos que as várias estratégias que ele emprega no decorrer de sua vida, conforme descritas pelo autor, servem para evitar o confronto com o objeto de desejo e sugerem uma estrutura de tipo obsessivo. Para o obsessivo, tudo o que importa é garantir a subsistência do objeto, tornando-o intocável. Assim, o desejo é concebido como impossível, uma forma de garantir a existência do objeto que o produz.

ABSTRACT Objective: this paper was written as an essay in a proposition from Adorno, as well as a text influenced by critical and Philosophical hermeneutic. It presents a fundamental question that we have rehearsed: Who is Management research for? Provocations: we take as a basis the reflection on the discursive and social differences between the academic field and the world of meaning of management practitioners, to realize how contradictory our practices and institutionalized structures of communication become, as they do not meet the fundamental objective of science, that is, the transformation of the reality in which it focuses. Conclusions: the hermeticism of our area is not an unsolvable problem, it is enough to see that in other fields the applicability of scientific knowledge happens. Our community needs to wake up to this, before society realizes that, as it is, we are expendable. Objective Adorno hermeneutic rehearsed for Provocations practitioners become science focuses Conclusions problem happens expendable

RESUMO Objetivo: este texto foi escrito como um ensaio tal qual proposto por Adorno e atravessado por premissas da hermenêutica crítica e filosófica. Nele, somos norteados por um incômodo fundamental: A quem serve a pesquisa em Administração? Provocações: tomamos como base a reflexão sobre as diferenças discursivas e sociais entre o campo acadêmico e o mundo de significação dos praticantes da Administração, para perceber o quanto contraditório se tornam nossas práticas e estruturas institucionalizadas de comunicação na medida em que elas não atendem ao objetivo fundamental da ciência, qual seja, a transformação da realidade na qual se debruça. Conclusões: o hermetismo de nossa área não é um problema sem solução, basta ver que em outros campos a aplicabilidade do conhecimento científico acontece. É preciso que a nossa comunidade acorde para isso, antes que a sociedade se dê conta de que, da forma como está, somos dispensáveis. Objetivo filosófica Nele Administração Provocações ciência seja debruça Conclusões solução acontece isso está dispensáveis

ABSTRACT: Feminism has produced a wide range of criticisms of both liberal political theory and modern science. In this paper we distinguish between the "reformist" versions and the "radical" versions of these criticisms. While the reformist versions maintain that the object of criticism would be more consistent with its own values to the extent it incorporates the feminist perspective, the radical versions spot unsolvable problems in the set of values of both liberalism and modern science, thus advocating for their replacement. The paper concludes that the feminist critique of liberalism and science is a tool that unravels the common rationality between these two intellectual projects, though with different objectives. The former normative and the latter epistemic, are nonetheless connected in their ground aspiration to elaborate rules, adjudicate disagreements, and interpret reality from a supposedly "objective", "universal", "abstract" and "impartial" position.

RESUMEN: El feminismo ha producido un amplio rango de críticas tanto a la teoría política liberal como a la ciencia moderna. En este trabajo distinguimos entre las versiones "reformistas" y las versiones "rupturistas" de dichas críticas. Mientras las versiones reformistas sostienen que el objeto de la crítica será más consistente con sus propios principios si incorpora la perspectiva feminista, las versiones rupturistas detectan problemas irresolubles en los principios originales tanto del liberalismo como de la ciencia moderna, abogando en consecuencia por su superación. El artículo concluye que la crítica feminista al liberalismo y a la ciencia es una herramienta que permite desentrañar la racionalidad común entre dos proyectos intelectuales con objetivos distintos, el primero normativo y el segundo epistémico, pero conectados en su aspiración de elaborar reglas, adjudicar desacuerdos e interpretar la realidad desde una posición pretendidamente "objetiva", "universal", "abstracta" e "imparcial".

Abstract Novelistic fiction from the United Kingdom has been consistently acknowledged as a major repository of narrative paradigms for the incipient Brazilian novel. Genres originally offering a narrative solution for tensions embedded throughout British and Irish society would cross the Atlantic and, by mid-nineteenth century, be rendered instrumental for structuring local experience. Among these genres, arguably, was the national tale. National tales aimed to bridge the social dilemmas inherent to a multicultural state like the United Kingdom and, more broadly, the British Empire. Works such as The Wild Irish Girl (1806), by Sidney Owenson, Marriage (1818), by Susan Ferrier, and The Absentee (1812), by Maria Edgeworth, engendered sentimental plots of star-crossed lovers who stood for the divergent UK nationalities, allegorically and didactically overcoming the perceived English prejudice against the Irish and the Scots. Circulating in Brazil for at least five decades, national tales purveyed a narrative framework whereby the unsolvable contradiction between colonial heritage and postcolonial nationalism could be fictionally negotiated in and by an intercultural erotic union. Indianist novels like José de Alencar’s O Guarani (1857), we speculate, may have re-enacted such framework.

Resumen: Victoria de Stefano escribe un tipo de literatura autorreferencial. En la estructura de sus novelas, se hace una reflexión explícita sobre la compleja relación que existe entre la realidad y la ficción. Al hacer esto, produce un doble efecto. Por un lado, subraya la artificialidad del texto. Por otro, cuestiona los límites de la ficción. En otras palabras, la mayor parte de su literatura entra dentro de la categoría de la metaficción y, tal como señala Guyard, “los teóricos de la metaficción insisten en el hecho -indudable, por otra parte- de que el texto metaficcional cuestiona los límites entre lo real y lo ficticio” (2012: 59-60). Lluvia (2006) recoge los elementos mencionados arriba para producir un texto autoficticio marcadamente autorreferencial y especular. Partiendo de esta premisa, se puede afirmar que la obra en cuestión propone un juego al lector, lo hace cómplice de la creación literaria. No solo, crea una paradoja irresoluble que es el centro de la reflexividad de la ficción. En este estudio se analizará el funcionamiento de dicha estructura y su relación con lo que podríamos llamar la ficción lúdica (Robert Detweiler), un modo literario que hace al lector cómplice al revelar la artificiosidad texto. El objetivo central será analizar cómo este juego literario define la novela de Stefano, que puede ser estudiada desde la noción de “autoficción especular”, y sirve para acentuar su tema central, la creación literaria, no solo al exponerla en la diégesis sino al hacer que el lector participe indirectamente de ella.

Abstract: Victoria de Stefano writes a type of self-referential literature. In the structure of her novels, she makes an explicit reflection on the complex relationship that exists between reality and fiction. By doing this, she produces a double effect. On the one hand, she underlines the artificiality of the text. On the other, she questions the limits of fiction. In other words, most of her literature falls into the category of metafiction and, as Guyard points out, "metafictional theorists insist on the fact - undoubted, on the other hand - that the metafictional text questions the limits between the real and the fictional” (2012: 59-60). Lluvia (2006) gathers the elements mentioned above to produce an autofictional text that is highly self-referential and specular. Starting from this premise, it can be affirmed that the work in question proposes a game to the reader, makes him an accomplice of literary creation. It creates an unsolvable paradox that is at the core of the fiction's reflexivity. This study will analyze the functioning of this structure and its relationship with what we could call playful fiction (Robert Detweiler), a literary mode that makes the reader an accomplice by revealing the artifice of the text. The central objective will be to analyze how this literary game defines Stefano's novel, which can be studied from the notion of "specular autofiction", and serves to accentuate its central theme, literary creation, not only by exposing it in the diegesis but by doing that the reader participates indirectly in it.

RESUMO Este artigo objetiva discutir os limites conceituais das noções de problema público e arena pública. Fundamenta-se nos resultados de uma pesquisa sobre críticas de usuários ao transporte coletivo da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Nesse contexto, o não associativismo surge como modalidade de ação coletiva e de formação de públicos abstratos e dispersos. Ao mesmo tempo, os transtornos relacionados ao serviço de mobilidade urbana carioca se tornam extremamente complexos e rotinizados no cotidiano, conformando um grande problema público, compreendido pelos atores como um fenômeno sem solução ou que não se resolve.

ABSTRACT Public Transportation as a ‘Major Problem with no Resolution’: Non-associativism and Public Contestation of Recklessness discusses the conceptual limits of the notions of public problem and public arena. It is based on the results of a research on the criticism from users of public transportation in the city of Rio de Janeiro. In this context, non-associativism emerges as a form of collective action and the formation of abstract and dispersed publics. At the same time, the disorders related to the urban mobility service in Rio de Janeiro become extremely complex and routine in everyday life, forming a major public problem understood by the actors as an unsolvable phenomenon or one that does not have a solution.

Abstract: This article aims to analyze the sovereignty conflicts between the Argentine Republic and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland over the Malvinas, Georgia and South Sandwich Islands and the surrounding maritime spaces, and between the Kingdom of Spain and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland over the Rock of Gibraltar, as cases of prolonged territorial disputes that became unsolvable over time. It is considered that it is plausible to characterize the sovereignty disputes in both cases as prolonged territorial disputes insofar as it is possible to trace their origin beyond the 20th century, reaching up to the first decades of the 21st century with no apparent possibility of resolution. In this sense, the postulates of an ongoing research are presented that tests whether the cases of Gibraltar and Malvinas can be considered significant as part of a trend towards the irresolvability of long-standing territorial conflicts that have led to a state of stagnation in the XXI century, due to the impossibility of advancing in the negotiations regarding sovereignty.

Resumen: Este artículo se propone analizar los conflictos de soberanía entre la República Argentina y el Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda del Norte sobre las islas Malvinas, Georgias y Sandwich del Sur y los espacios marítimos circundantes, y entre el Reino de España y el Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda del Norte por el peñón de Gibraltar, como casos de disputas territoriales prolongadas, que se han vuelto irresolubles a lo largo del tiempo. Se considera que es plausible caracterizar las disputas de soberanía de ambos casos como disputas territoriales prolongadas en tanto es posible rastrear su origen más allá del siglo XX, llegando hasta las primeras décadas del siglo XXI sin posibilidades de resolución aparente. En este sentido, se presentan los postulados de una investigación en curso que testea si los casos de Gibraltar y Malvinas pueden considerarse significativos como parte de una tendencia a la irresolubilidad de los conflictos territoriales de larga data ,que han desembocado en un estado de estancamiento en el siglo XXI debido a la imposibilidad de avanzar en negociaciones respecto de la soberanía.

Abstract This work develops Jean-Paul Sartre’s approaches to the issue of Poetry, the poetic projects and its possibility of commitment on Situations II, his existential biographies Baudelaire and Saint Genet, and his study on black poetry in Orphée noir. Despite the critics that had been made to him arguing that he didn’t understand the essence of the poetic phenomenon, an attentive reading may show how Sartre’s idea of poetry has turned with time, to the point of considering it a tool as strong as prose to arouse commitment and freedom by a negative operation in which critically reflects mankind’s essence as an unsolvable conflict and failure.

Resumen El siguiente trabajo aborda los desarrollos de Jean-Paul Sartre sobre la cuestión de la poesía, los proyectos poéticos y su posibilidad de compromiso en Situations II, sus biografías existenciales Baudelaire y Saint Genet y su estudio de la poesía negra y malgache publicado como Orphéenoir. Más allá de las críticas que se le han hecho de ignorar la esencia del fenómeno poético, una lectura atenta permite mostrar cómo su concepción sobre la poesía ha virado con los años al punto de considerarla una herramienta tan poderosa como la prosa para suscitar el compromiso y el llamamiento a la libertad mediante una operación negativa en la que refleja críticamente al hombre al manifestar su esencia como conflicto irresoluble y fracaso.

Abstract: This paper proposes an analysis of the anti-metaphysical and anti-philosophical posture of the poetry of Alberto Caeiro, in order to show how the philosophical question for Truth is displaced by an awareness of the impossibility of signs to tell the truth, which leads to a theory of lie that allows to create a possible world, real from within. Caeiro proposes a return to the realm of the no-semiotics, the pre-logical, but uses the material he refuses: language, signs, poetry. Thus, he stands on the edge of language and “embodies” the semiological project of recognize himself as a lie, a sign, a footprint without trace. By contradiction and paradox as tools of language, Fernando Pessoa, through his main heteronymous, combines philosophy and poetry, renounces the question for Truth -putting an end to the philosophical question- and deviates the unsolvable metaphysical opposition.

Resumen: Este ensayo propone un análisis de la postura antimetafísica y antifilosófica de la poética de Alberto Caeiro, con el fin de mostrar cómo la pregunta filosófica por la verdad se ve desplazada por una conciencia sobre la imposibilidad de los signos de decir la verdad, lo cual conduce a una teoría de la mentira que permite elaborar un mundo posible, real desde adentro. Caeiro propone un retorno a la esfera de lo no semiótico, es decir, a lo pre-lógico, pero se sirve del material que rechaza para hacerlo: el lenguaje, los signos, la poesía. Así, se sitúa en los límites del decir y “encarna” el proyecto semiológico de saberse mentira, signo, huella sin huella. Mediante la contradicción y la paradoja como herramientas del lenguaje, Fernando Pessoa, a través de su heterónimo maestro, mezcla filosofía con poesía, renuncia a la pregunta por la verdad -poniendo fin a la pregunta filosófica esencial- y desvía la oposición metafísica irresoluble.

Abstract: Different partitions of the parameter space of all linear semi-infinite programming problems with a fixed compact set of indices and continuous right and left hand side coefficients have been considered in this paper. The optimization problems are classified in a different manner, e.g., consistent and inconsistent, solvable (with bounded optimal value and nonempty optimal set), unsolvable (with bounded optimal value and empty optimal set) and unbounded (with infinite optimal value). The classification we propose generates a partition of the parameter space, called second general primal-dual partition. We characterize each cell of the partition by means of necessary and sufficient, and in some cases only necessary or sufficient conditions, assuring that the pair of problems (primal and dual), belongs to that cell. In addition, we show non emptiness of each cell of the partition and with plenty of examples we demonstrate that some of the conditions are only necessary or sufficient. Finally, we investigate various questions of stability of the presented partition.

In at least two stories of the Fourth Gospel the transformation of the temple is an explicit theme. In the story of the cleansing of the temple the narrator comments that Jesus spoke of the temple of his body. In the dialogue with the Samaritan woman Jesus explains that God is no longer worshipped at mount Gerizzim or in Jerusalem, but in spirit and truth. In this article I will try to describe some aspects of this transformation against the background of the conflict between the Johannine congregation and the synagogue. As the dwelling place of God the temple is a holy place. Characteristic for the temple that Jesus is, is the mutual indwelling of God and Jesus and the mutual connection of Jesus and his disciples. The two mutual relations make it possible that the disciples come into contact with God. In the new temple that Jesus is, Jesus himself is the sacrifice of atonement. This atonement restores the relation of God and the believers. In the situation that is characterised by the absence of Jesus, the function of Jesus is taken over by the spirit of truth. That God is worshipped in spirit and truth makes a new inclusiveness and universality possible, where the conflict between the 'Jews' and Jesus' disciples is unsolvable because of the exclusive claims of the conflicting parties.

Abstract: This study reports the results of the implementation of an experimental design in a high school mathematics classroom (students 12-14 years old) aimed at the construction of triangles, given three segments. Within the experimental design, there is a problem of calculation of area and perimeter where the rupture and establishment of didactical contract is analysed. For the design of the sequence, theoretical reflections on the concept of didactical contract of Brousseau were considered, as well as the problem solving model of (Lester, 2013: 258), this allowed the design of activities regarding triangles construction using paper strips. These activities served as a prelude to address a problem of calculation of area and perimeter of a triangle with wrong measures. The results show that students get into contradictions, because despite finding certain conditions for the measure of the segments of a triangle and working previously with unsolvable problems, they cannot recognize a triangle with wrong measures and even claim that it is possible to obtain the perimeter of three segments of a figure which is not closed.

Resumen: Se presentan los resultados de la implementación de un diseño didáctico con estudiantes de secundaria (12-14 años), relativos a la construcción de triángulos, dados tres segmentos, donde se analiza la ruptura e instauración del contrato didáctico en la solución de un problema de cálculo de área y perímetro. Para el diseño de la secuencia se consideraron las aportaciones teóricas sobre el contrato didáctico de Brousseau, y el modelo de resolución de problemas de Lester (2013: 258), a partir de los cuales se plantearon actividades de construcción de triángulos con tiras de papel que sirvieron de preámbulo para abordar un problema de cálculo de área y perímetro de un triángulo con medidas erróneas. Los resultados muestran que los estudiantes entran en contradicciones, ya que a pesar de concluir ciertas condiciones para las medidas de los segmentos de un triángulo y trabajar previamente con problemas sin solución, no pueden reconocer un triángulo con medidas erróneas e incluso afirman que es posible obtener el perímetro de tres segmentos de una figura que no es cerrada.

Derivative force is described by Leibniz as a modification or limitation of the entelechy or primitive force. However, he also describes it as belonging to phenomena and as the cause of physical motion. Some scholars have found in this particular matter an unsolvable trouble, while some others have proposed different solutions. This paper presents an analysis of the notion of "mode" as it describes the relationship between primitive and derivative forces. Taking this into account, I shall criticize the interpretation of two scholars on this matter, and I will try to provide an explanation on how the derivative forces can belong to phenomena while being a modification of entelechy. This may be a major achievement in order to understand the relations between metaphysics and dynamics in Leibnizian philosophy.

La fuerza derivativa es descrita por Leibniz como modificación o limitación de la entelequia o fuerza primitiva. Sin embargo, la describe también como perteneciente a los fenómenos y como causante del movimiento físico. Algunos comentadores han encontrado en este punto un conflicto irresoluble dentro del sistema leibniziano, mientras que otros han ensayado algunas soluciones. Este artículo presenta un análisis de la noción de "modo", tal como es utilizada en la descripción de la relación entre fuerza primitiva y fuerza derivativa. A partir de este análisis, realizaré una crítica de las lecturas de dos comentadores que tratan sobre este tema y trataré de dar, finalmente, una explicación de cómo la fuerza derivativa puede pertenecer a los fenómenos siendo, a la vez, una modificación de la entelequia. Esto puede ser de gran ayuda para comprender las relaciones entre metafísica y dinámica en la filosofía leibniziana.

Pretendo demostrar que a) el tratado De ira de Séneca incluye no una sino dos estrategias terapéuticas diseñadas para evitar la ira, y que b) que la segunda de estas estrategias -la cual ha sido desatendida en la literatura secundaria- presenta problemas irresolubles cuando la contrastamos contra la teoría estoica de la acción, la cual se funda en premisas intelectualistas.

I try to show that a) the treatise On Anger by Seneca includes not one but two therapeutic strategies designed to avoid anger and that b) the second of these strategies -which has been neglected in the secondary literature- presents unsolvable problems when we contrast it with the Stoic theory of action, which is rooted in intellectualist premises.

This article pretends to provide a reading of the Seventh Letter focused on the role that medical terminology plays in it. Leaving aside the unsolvable enigma of Plato’s authorship, the letter shows evident connections with fundamental topics from the "last" Plato, particularly in its political aspects. In many passages of the Seventh Letter, the figure of the philosopher as an educator appears covered with medical aspects, and the political situation is defined as a pathology that we must treat according to a therapeutic methodology.

En este artículo se pretende aportar una lectura de la Carta VII desde la función que desempeña en ella el léxico médico. Dejando al margen la irresoluble cuestión sobre la autoría platónica, la carta muestra conexiones evidentes con temas fundamentales en el llamado "último" Platón, principalmente en sus aspectos políticos. En varios pasajes de la Carta VII, la figura del filósofo en tanto educador aparece revestida de aspectos médicos, y la propia situación política es definida como una patología sobre la que hay que actuar de acuerdo con una metodología terapéutica.
