Festival Film and Social Media from Mexico
This article begins by sketching some key terms in world cinema studies and calling attention to the relative absence of Latin America and of Mexico in those studies. After surveying the Mexican mediascape, it examines two audiovisual works that stake a claim to queerness: Sueño en otro idioma (Ernesto Contreras, 2017) and “Pepe y Teo” (YouTube, 2012-present). While the first is an art movie with a rural, ecological theme, the second is a body of…
Cinema, Genealogy, History
This article offers close readings of four audio-visual works, covering two genres, urban comedy and rural tragedy, with two examples each. Mariano Ozores' popular farce Sor Metiche/Unos granujas decentes (1980), anticipates Almodóvar's dramedy Entre tinieblas (1983) in its convent location and juxtaposition of a nun and a showgirl. Mario Camus' literary adaptation Los santos inocentes (1984), located in a wealthy Francoist household obsessed wit…
La unidad del escepticismo humeano
Los intérpretes han dividido la filosofía de Hume, su “lógica”, en dos partes: la destructiva, compuesta por sus análisis filosóficos, su crítica del racionalismo y sus momentos escépticos; la constructiva, que contiene su asociacionismo psicológico, su ciencia empírica de la naturaleza humana y sus momentos naturalistas o realistas. Mi intención es cuestionar cualquier interpretación que suponga esa dicotomía, y mostrar que Hume realiza ambas ta…
Sobre o status metafísico das cores
Neste artigo, pretende-se desenvolver uma concepção sobre as cores como parte de uma visão cética do mundo. Para isso, investiga-se como alguns dos principais céticos, ao longo da história da filosofia, conceberam as cores, seja em relação a outras qualidades sensíveis, seja em relação ao objeto físico. Depois, à luz do debate entre Barry Stroud e John McDowell, descreve-se aquela que parece ser a concepção comum das cores, sustentando-se que o c…
Sextus Empiricus’ Neo-Pyrrhonism
Experiência, prática e vida no capítulo “Da experiência” (III, 13) dos Ensaios de Montaigne
O artigo responde a duas perguntas: o que Montaigne entende por experiência? Como ele constrói sua ciência de si mesmo com base na experiência? Há diversos tipos de experiência e é preciso compreender como cada tipo permite a construção de sua ciência. Aprende-se da experiência coletiva da prática jurídica pelo contraexemplo; da experiência interna da alma pelo exemplo tomado a contrapelo; e, por fim, pelo exemplo da experiência pura, aprendem-se…
Entiendes?
"¿Entiendes?" is literally translated as "Do you understand? Do you get it?" But those who do "get it" will also hear within this question a subtler meaning: "Are you queer? Are you one of us?" The issues of gay and lesbian identity represented by this question are explored for the first time in the context of Spanish and Hispanic literature in this groundbreaking anthology.Combining intimate knowledge of Spanish-speaking cultures with contempora…
The sticky steps of the career ladder for engineers
Although governments and higher education institutions across Europe are promoting agendas for widening the educational participation and increasing the social mobility of young people from lower socio-economic groups, very little has been written about the experiences of these individuals when seeking and entering employment. We aim to address this gap. Using a qualitative research approach, we explore the career expectations, experiences and li…
Sobre a maneira neopirrônica de agir e pensar
O texto busca apresentar a atualização das atitudes céticas, como a suspensão do juízo, e sua incidência no campo da atitude nas ciências e na vida. Com o intuito de descrever em linhas gerais como é, ou pode ser, uma vida neopirrônica, para que o leitor julgue isso por si mesmo

Notes on the Future (and Past) of Spanish and Latin-American Media Studies
This article offers some reflections on the development of Spanish and Latin-American media studies, especially in English-speaking countries, over the last twenty years focusing on the research of its author. It takes the following fields as its main foci of discussion: journalism, film form, theory, industry, television, institution, internet, Spain/Mexico, crisis, affect and Hispanism. The article ends by suggesting that the future of the disc…
Scepticism in the Eighteenth Century
Winners and Losers in Cinema and Memoirs
This essay closely examines two very different works: Emilio Martínez Lázaro's award-winning feature film Las 13 rosas and Esther Tusquets’ Habíamos ganado la guerra, the first volume of personal memoirs from a major writer, which begins in 1939 when the author was just three. Where Las 13 rosas focuses on the terror, repression, and violence of the early Franco regime, Tusquets’ narrative explores the era from the perspective of a child and adol…
O método cético da oposição e as fantasias de Montaigne
A partir da ideia de que filosofar é duvidar, o artigo examina a relação do ceticismo de Montaigne com o ceticismo antigo. De um lado, mostram-se os elementos do ceticismo antigo de que Montaigne se apropria, como a divisão da filosofia em três seitas e o método cético da oposição. De outro lado, identificam-se as inovações introduzidas por Montaigne nesses mesmos elementos céticos. Finalmente, procura-se mostrar que Montaigne, com o projeto de p…
A dívida de Hume com Pascal
Embora a bibliografia secundária tenha negligenciado a importância de Pascal para Hume, argumenta-se que, em muitos assuntos e ao longo de toda a vida, Hume beneficiou-se da leitura de Pascal. O artigo se concentra mais nas questões epistemológicas e metafísicas, fazendo somente breves alusões à moral e religião. Dois são os eixos principais da apropriação humeana do pensamento de Pascal: suas reflexões sobre o ceticismo e seu anti-cartesianismo,…

Bayle e os impasses da razão
O objetivo do artigo é compreender como Bayle, no seu Dicionário, avalia a força da razão. Primeiro, apresento como seria o bom funcionamento da razão e de que modo esta, apoiando-se tanto nas ideias claras e distintas, como em princípios lógicos, metafísicos e morais, poderia estabelecer algumas verdades em filosofia. Em seguida, passo em revista quais seriam as principais dificuldades levantadas por Bayle para que a razão possa alcançar verdade…
La Critique de la raison pure face aux scepticismes cartésien, baylien et humien
In his critical period, Kant thought that scepticism was a threat to the metaphysical enterprise of Enlightenment. He consequently tried to tackle three of its species: Baylean scepticism, which doubts that reason could establish any truth concerning its ideas; Humean scepticism, which must be distinguished from Hume's formulation of the problem if we want to show that synthetic a priori judgements are possible; and Cartesian scepticism, which pu…

Bayle e o ceticismo antigo
Apresenta-se a interpretação oferecida por Bayle do ceticismo antigo: suas características, sua origem e a distinção entre pirrônicos e acadêmicos. Em seguida, discutem-se alguns aspectos importantes do ceticismo: sua concepção de ciência, sua conduta na vida prática e sua atitude em face da religião
Reading Almodóvar through TV Studies
This article argues that Almodóvar's films since La flor de mi secreto are best understood using analytical concepts derived from TV studies. Three aspects of Almodóvar's filmmaking coincide more closely with televisual modes of perception and production than those of the feature film: regularity, familiarity, and openness. A close analysis of La mala educación shows that it explores aspects of electronic visuality examined by television scholars…

Transatlantic Traffic in Recent Mexican Films
In this paper I treat the recent resurgence of Mexican cinema (praised from Kinetoscopio to The Economist) as a test case for Manuel Castells's theory of ‘the interaction between technology-induced globalization, the power of identity (gender, religious, national, ethnic, territorial, socio-biological), and the institutions of the state' (1997, p. 2). Focusing on relations between Mexico and Spain, I examine the various and overlapping regulatory…

The Rhetoric of Presence in Poets and Critics of Golden Age Lyric
The model of discourse both implied and enacted by classical rhetoric is founded on the necessity of communication: the rhetor takes the object of imitation and attempts to transmit it through the medium of language to the listener or (later) to the reader.' The excellence of the oration is proportionate to the efficiency of this transmission. The source of the oration (the speaker), its target (the audience) and the message which passes between …

Writing Women in Golden Age Spain
There are at least two options available to contributors to women's studies. The first is the study of representation: the images of produced by (male) writers. The second is the study of themselves as writers: the question of whether a writing can exist within a dominant male culture. At first the Golden Age does not appear to be a promising field of study for either approach. For the images of offered by male authors are rarely sympathetic and …

By giving this collection of critical essays, the first of its kind, a question for a title, we are not only making a gesture of respect toward those Spanishspeaking lesbians and gays who use the term themselves (including the Comunidad Gay de Madrid, who named their newsletter ~Entiendes?); we are also alludin…
Terapia e Vida Comum
O artigo traça, em primeiro lugar, uma distinção entre dois tipos de ceticismo, o terapêutico, em que a cura do dogmatismo é a idéia motriz, e o fenomenista, cuja preocupação central é a descrição da vida comum. Em seguida, examinam-se as noções de terapia e de vida comum, na tentativa de depurar ou aperfeiçoar o ceticismo, chegando-se a conclusão de que a terapia cética mais coerente deve restringir-se ao próprio caso e de que a descrição da vid…

Uma Solução Cética para o Problema do Mundo Exterior
A filosofia identifica duas teses banais sobre as coisas que todos parecemos sustentar: a de que percebemos coisas e a de que essas coisas percebidas existem realmente. Em seguida, a filosofia, ao interpretá-las de maneira rigorosa e ao julgar ver uma contradição entre elas, procurou melhorar esse esquema, substituindo a tese banal (já interpretada pela filosofia) da percepção imediata pela tese da percepção mediata das coisas, sem contudo lograr…
