On Aesth-ethic Activism as Epistemic Resistance in Conversation with José Medina
Grammars of Listening
What would it mean to do justice to testimonies of traumatic experience? That is, how can experiences which do not fit the customary scripts of sense-making be heard? Whereas processes of official memorialization or legal redress often demand that victims and survivors convey their experiences through familiar modes of narration, in my project on ‘grammars of listening’ or ‘gramáticas de lo inaudito’ I want to ask how it might be possible to hear…
Hacia una dimensión estética de la crítica. El tiempo de lo bello en las Cartas sobre la educación estética de Friedrich Schiller
Se propone rastrear la interpretación que Schiller lleva a cabo en las Cartas sobre la educación estética del hombre del análisis kantiano del juicio de gusto puro como asociado con una suspensión de toda determinación que hace posible la experiencia de la belleza. Para Schiller, esto resulta en una temporalidad de lo bello experimentada como suspensión, que se torna adicionalmente en una suspensión de la temporalidad. El artículo muestra cómo es…
Gramáticas de lo inaudito as Decolonial Grammars
This paper proposes to reflect self-critically on an ongoing research project entitled “Grammars of listening,” which started as a philosophical approach to the question of listening at the site of trauma and the challenges this kind of listening poses to our conceptions of memory and history, and has recently shifted to asking about the possible limitations to such a reflection when confronted with a decolonial perspective on temporality. I star…
Murmullo
En esta conversación, María del Rosario Acosta y Jean-Luc Nancy reflexionan sobre los distintos registros de la palabra "murmullo" y la relación que puede establecerse entre cada uno de ellos y la pregunta por la crítica política y de lo político en el pensamiento de Nancy. El aspecto sonoro del murmullo permite acercarse, por un lado, a una reflexión sobre la circulación del sentido en términos de resonancia. Conduce también a la pregunta por la…
Sobre cómo reescribir la historia de la filosofía “en clave feminista”. Comentarios al número especial
A la memoria de Jean-Luc Nancy
El pasado 23 de agosto murió el filósofo francés Jean-Luc Nancy, quien deja tras de sí no solo una obra extensa, sino toda una vida dedicada al pensamiento filosófico que ha sido determinante para el curso de la filosofía contemporánea. Jean-Luc nos deja sus escritos, así como la memoria de su generosidad y pasión por el pensar en común
Desaparición y terror
El artículo se propone analizar la relación entre violencia y ley en la filosofía temprana de Hegel, rastreando el concepto de positividad en los textos de juventud (con particular énfasis en los fragmentos de Frankfurt conocidos como “El espíritu del cristianismo y su destino”) en paralelo con el análisis de la libertad absoluta y el terror en la Fenomenología del Espíritu. Se plantea como tesis central que las nociones de desaparición y terror,…

Gramáticas de la escucha. Aproximaciones filosóficas a la construcción de memoria histórica
El artículo aborda la pregunta por la tarea de la memoria histórica en Colombia desde una perspectiva filosófica, concentrada en los retos epistemológicos y éticos derivados de la elaboración e implementación de iniciativas de memoria en contex- tos de experiencia traumática. Se busca presentar y analizar estos retos desde las consecuencias conceptuales que los contextos traumáticos le plantean a los procesos de elaboración de memoria y a la prác…
From Critique of the Postcolony to a Postcolonial Form of Critique. On the Uses and Misuses of Foucault in Jean and John Comaroff's Work
This paper develops a philosophical approach to Jean and John Comaroffs' work by fleshing out and theoretically articulating the form of critique that the Comaroffs employ in their reading of the "postcolonial" condition. Even though Walter Benjamin's classical correlation between law and violence provides the framework for the kind of critique the Comaroffs perform, I want to show that when the question refers to what kind of critique they under…

Multiple social movements in Latin America, following the tradition that became visible in the 1960…

Hegel Oncommunitas an Unexplored Relationship Between Hegel and Esposito
In Communitas: The Origin and Destiny of Community, Roberto Esposito develops a de(con)structionist reading of political philosophy, interested in tracing modernity's attempt to constitute the political as a radical negation (immunization) of our exposure (contagion) to others (communitas). If the task of contemporary political thinking is to interrupt the myth of the common (and its totalitarian features), without falling back completely into th…
Desde el umbral de las palabras
The category of the sublime, which has been amply discussed but not well defined and which is a central category to modern and contemporary aesthetics, was first exposed in detail in a treatise on rhetoric dating from the first century, AD. This document, written by an anonymous author – probably a Pseudo-Longinus, a Greek exiled from Rome – would become, after its translation into French by Bileau (1674), a determinant starting point for the int…
