espanolLa reconstruccion del itinerario del clerigo intelectual Juan Ramon Sepich constituye un aporte significativo desde la historia intelectual para la nueva historia de las universidades y de la filosofia, que incluye cruces entre la historia politica y los enfoques culturales de redes de transnacionales. Su intencion de hacer de la ciudad profana una ciudad sagrada, a traves de su predica universitaria y publicista, lo constituye como uno de los agentes mas relevantes de mediados del siglo XX, en la produccion y difusion de las ideas que asociaban la catolicidad con el hispanismo. A traves de su trayectoria local, nacional e internacional es posible explicar no solo los desplazamientos de su pensamiento reaccionario y su intento de dialogo con los filosofos de la modernidad, sino hacer visible la red de circulacion trasatlantica que fortalecieron las politicas del internacional catolicismo sostenidas por el franquismo. EnglishThe reconstruction of the itinerary of the intellectual clergyman Juan Ramon Sepich constitutes a significant contribution, from the perspective of intellectual history to the new history of universities and of philosophy. This new history includes intersections between political history and the cultural approaches of transnational networks. Sepich’s intention to make the profane city a sacred one through his university and journalistic endeavors makes him one of the mid-20th century most relevant agents in the production and dissemination of the ideas that associated Catholicity with Hispanism. Considering his local, national, and international trajectory, it is possible to explain not only the movements of his reactionary thought in dialogue with the philosophers of modernity, but also to make visible the transatlantic circulation networks that strengthened the Francoism-backed policies of international Catholicism.

espanolEl relato historiografico que describe a la filosofia moderna europea como la confrontacion entre el racionalismo y el empirismo, y su superacion a traves de la sintesis kantiana tuvo una enorme difusion en la Argentina, como en muchos otros paises. Este articulo investiga la genesis de esta narrativa tradicional dentro del ambito universitario argentino. Para ello, hara una introduccion sobre el surgimiento de esa narrativa en el espacio europea y un repaso de la ensenanza de la filosofia moderna en nuestro pais desde la etapa colonial hasta las primeras decadas del siglo XX. Concluira que, si bien durante el siglo XIX se encuentran algunos de sus componentes, recien en la segunda decada del siglo XX la narrativa tradicional aparecio formulada en toda su extension, en paralelo con el ingreso del kantismo en el medio academico argentino. Sin embargo, la construccion del relato tradicional en nuestro medio no se explica meramente por el ingreso del kantismo sino ademas por el peso propio que adquirio lo historia de la filosofia en los planes de estudio como parte de las demandas implicadas por la conformacion del campo filosofico academico en las primeras decadas del siglo XX. Finalmente, el articulo sugiere vias para reconfigurar y renovar el canon de la filosofia moderna desde nuestro presente y nuestro espacio latinoamericano. EnglishThe historiographical narrative describing early modern European philosophy as the confrontation between rationalism and empiricism and its overcoming through the Kantian synthesis had a huge spread in Argentina. This article investigates the genesis of this traditional account in the universities of Cordoba, Buenos Aires and La Plata between 1780 and 1920. It offers an introduction concerning the formation of this narrative in Europe and a survey of the teaching of early modern philosophy in Argentina during that period. It concludes that, although some of its components are found during the nineteenth century, it was only in the second decade of the twentieth century that the traditional narrative was formulated in its entirety, in parallel with the introduction of Kantianism in Argentine. However, the construction of this narrative is not merely explained by this fact but also by the weight that the history of philosophy gained in the syllabus as part of the demands involved in the shaping of the academic philosophical field. Finally, this paper suggests ways to reconfigure and renew the canon.
espanolCuando Horacio Gonzalez habla o escribe, abre fisuras generosas en los lugares en que incursiona y su mas de medio siglo dando clases asi lo testimonian. El pluriverso de cuestiones y referencias que aborda se torna un inagotable pozo de agua dulce que ni las mas penosas e injuriantes sequias argumentativas logran consumir o amargar. Pues Horacio no deja de persistir en cierta reflexion indisciplinada que tanto molesta a moralistas como a operadores disciplinados y disciplinantes de turno. De ahi que este encuentro se presente como una invitacion, afincada en los debates sobre la universidad y sus con-textos, donde se exploran los sentidos que atribuimos al discurso critico, y acaso clinico, en los tiempos que corren, y las formas en que las pedagogias llamadas conjeturales permiten interrogar los problemas contemporaneos. Todo ello con un polemico libro sobre Borges como telon de fondo que permite no olvidar su lugar (ni el nuestro) entre los pueblos barbaros. EnglishWhen Horacio Gonzalez speaks or writes, he opens generous fissures in the places in which he ventures and his more than half a century giving classes bear witness to this. The pluriverse of questions and references that it addresses becomes an inexhaustible fresh water well that not even the most painful and insulting argumentative droughts manage to consume or embitter. Well, Horacio does not stop persisting in a certain undisciplined reflection that annoys both moralists and disciplined operators and discipline workers on duty. Hence, this meeting is presented as an invitation, rooted in the debates on the university and its contexts, where the meanings we attribute to critical, and perhaps clinical, discourse in these times are explored, and the ways in which that pedagogies called conjectural allow us to interrogate contemporary problems. All this with a controversial book on Borges as a backdrop that allows us not to forget his place (or ours) among the barbarian peoples.

This paper aims to investigate the role played by Garcia Morente in his second trip to Argentina and the construction of the canon displayed in his Preliminary Philosophy Lessons, material that brings together the classes given at the National University of Tucuman in 1937. From this source, we will try an analysis that takes into account, on the one hand, the trajectory of the Spanish professor –from an intellectual history perspective– and, on the other hand, the analysis of his philosophical discourse –from a history of ideas approach– . Both dimensions are key to addressing the constitution of philosophical studies in the province.
This paper analyzes some the contributions and debates that cross some feminist perspectives in / from / from Latin America. Taking the genealogical as a horizon, we propose an approach based on the hermeneutic reading of specialized literature. Some of the questions that guide the investigation are: how do feminist productions in the region relate to critical approaches to colonialism? Who are the main actors of our feminisms? As anticipations of meaning, we consider that there are no continuities in the theoretical interweaves of feminist thoughts in the region, but constructions of situated knowledge that have raised, in some cases, dialogues and discussion nodes with each other. Likewise, we think that these thoughts not only constitute a dialogue with theoretical contributions from other latitudes, but also have the potential of ‘irradiation’ towards theoretical formulations outside the subcontinent.

These conversations explore the outlines of Tununa Mercado as a fundamental thinker who teaches, in the movements of her work and her voice, like the great weavers of all time, that wefts cannot be divided without decomposing the fabric. So the threads of literature, philosophy, politics, criticism, aesthetics, and memories are intertwined, interwoven, and constit longly woven into her writing. In this sense, the proposed conversational journey covers her life and work, without separating one from the other, while offering a walk through different problems. Among others, the link with writing, thought, reading and the ways in which all this is combined in different ways in their insubordinate itineraries, their junctions in memory, the tensions and openings of their debates around language, feminisms and their un-gendered way of write.
This is a writing exercise in which I sought, sometimes through self-narrative, sometimes through reading the Brazilian sociopolitical scenario, to promote a reflection on my process of mental decolonization, started in the Youth and Adult Education classroom. In Salvador-Bahia, the blackest city outside Africa. I am currently an academic teacher, a space still little accessed by the black bodies of both students and teachers, despite the advances that come from affirmative action policies. My text dialogues with authors, such as Carolina Maria de Jesus, Lelia Gonzalez, Gloria Anzaldua and Conceicao Evaristo, women who helped me in the weaving of words, in the cartography of my memories and in my subjective rescue as a form of empowerment. Besides these women, other voices are present here and can help us to reflect on the educational inequalities, in their intersections of gender, race and social class, still present in our daily lives, even after 131 years of abolition of slavery.
espanolEl presente trabajo propone un recorrido en torno de aportes y debates que atraviesan a algunas perspectivas feministas en/de/desde America Latina. Tomando lo genealogico como horizonte, proponemos un acercamiento a la tematica a partir de la lectura hermeneutica de bibliografia especializada. Algunas de las preguntas que orientan la pesquisa son: ?como se relacionan las producciones feministas de la region con los abordajes criticos sobre la colonialidad?, ?cuales son los/as sujetos/as de nuestros feminismos? En tanto anticipaciones de sentido, consideramos que no existen continuidades lineales en los entretejidos teoricos de los pensamientos feministas en la region, sino construcciones de saberes situados que han planteado, en algunos casos, dialogos y nudos de discusion entre si. Asimismo, pensamos que estos pensamientos no solo se constituyen en dialogo con aportes teoricos de otras latitudes, sino que tambien tienen el potencial de ‘irradiacion’ hacia formulaciones teoricas fuera del subcontinente.

This article assumes as a locus of enunciation, the Latin American and decolonial feminisms; this is the point from which we are interested in traying another approach to the subject, an epistemological alternative with a located standpoint. This, our text appeals the ways of administrating -managing – signifying the categories that are set up on the colonial, gender and race intrusion. How do we use them regarding the production of knowledges and subjectivities? What semiotic processes do we manage? How are we affected? Therefore, this article is divided in two sections. The first one deals with Maria Lugones and Rita Segato’s theoretical discussions concerning the gender category linked to the colonial intrusion and the gender coloniality. In the second part, attentive to an analysis of the discourse as a methodology, we address two manifestos from a group of native woman of thirty-six nations in Argentina.
El objetivo principal del trabajo es dar cuenta de las tensiones y posiciones respecto de los usos del lenguaje no sexista e inclusivo, teniendo en cuenta las distintas lineas de accion y de trabajo que las autoras hemos recorrido en torno al tema en el campo de la comunicacion en su cruce con los estudios de genero/feminismos y la educacion. Para ello se aborda la historicidad del problema del lenguaje y la critica de los feminismos junto a algunas perspectivas filosoficas en tension. El escrito retoma la idea del lenguaje como arena de lucha por los sentidos con un importante rol en construccion intersubjetiva de las identidades sociales, el uso del generico masculino como la conquista mas preciada de la lengua dominante para finalizar con la propuesta de pensar el termino “lenguaje inclusivE”. The main objective of this work is to account for tensions and positions regarding the uses of non-sexist and inclusive language, considering the different lines of action and work that the authors have done around the topic in the field of communication studies in intersection with gender, feminisms and education. The historicity of the problem of language and the critique of feminisms are approached along with some philosophical perspectives in tension. The writing revisit the idea of language as fighting space for the senses with an important role in intersubjective construction of social identities, the use of the generic masculine as the most precious conquest of the dominant language to conclude with the proposal to think the term “inclusivE language”.
El presente articulo presenta un recorrido por algunas de las acciones, practicas y reflexiones llevadas a cabo por tres mujeres pertenecientes a la “Red de sostenes”, una agrupacion con perspectiva de genero que trabaja cotidiana y comunitariamente en la localidad cordobesa de Unquillo. Por medio de conversaciones sostenidas en distintos encuentros a lo largo del 2019, nos proponemos establecer las bases para un pensamiento epistemico, no solo entre nosotras, sino en relacion con el movimiento de mujeres, feministas y de la diversidad corporal que viene desarrollandose en America Latina en los ultimos cuatro anos.This article presents a route through some actions, practices and reflections carried out by three women belonging to “Red de Sostenes”, a group with gender perspective that works daily and communaly in Unquillo (Cordoba, Argentina). By means of maintained conversations in several meetings throughout 2019, we are setting out to establish the basis for an epistemic thinking, not only between us, but in relation to women, feminist and corporal diversity’s movement in developement in Latin America since 2015.
En este articulo me propongo ensayar un acercamiento a una serie textos narrativos aparecidos en Argentina y en Chile en los ultimos anos a partir de la pregunta por los vinculos entre critica feminista y practicas literarias. El corpus esta integrado por: Chicas muertas (2014) de Selva Almada, Aparecida (2015) de Marta Dillon, Impuesto a la carne (2009) de Diamela Eltit, “Conservas” (2016) de Samantha Scweblim, Las infantas (2010) de Lina Meruane y Las aventuras de la China Iron (2018) de Gabriela Cabezon Camara. Sostengo, a modo de hipotesis, que los textos del corpus intervienen sobre distintas configuraciones socio-culturales de genero e instalan la problematica del cuerpo como extension metaforica de la nocion de comunidad. En las conclusiones se presentan una serie de argumentos orientados a pensar la relacion entre escritura y critica feminista como una perspectiva metodologica y como un dispositivo politico.In this article I will present an approach to a series of narrative texts that in recent years came out in Argentina and Chile as responses to the questions about the links between feminist critique and literary practices. The corpus includes: Chicas muertas (Dead Girls) (2014) by Selva Almada; Aparecida (Appeared) (2015) by Marta Dillon; Impuesto a la carne (Tax on Flesh) (2009) by Diamela Eltit; Conservas (Conserves) (2016) by Samantha Scweblim; Las infantas (The Infants) (2010) by Lina Meruane; and Las aventuras de la China Iron (The Adventures of China Iron) (2018) by Gabriela Cabezon Camara. As a hypothesis, I hold that the texts from the corpus intervene in different sociocultural configurations of gender, and install the problem of the body as a metaphorical extension of the community notion. In the conclusions, there is a series of arguments that are oriented towards understanding the relation between writing and feminist critique as a methodological perspective and a political device.
The paper reconstructs and examines the conceptualization of temporality as historical time developed by the young romantics of the Generation of 37 and, at the same time, analyzes how it influenced their interpretation of the socio-political state and their interventions in Rioplatense public life between the late 1830s and early 1840s. The focus is on the work and performance of Juan Bautista Alberdi, given the importance and visibility he achieved in those years and for having been the one who best developed within the romantics this novel conception of historicist time.
Este escrito repasa de manera general los derroteros de la Historia de las Mujeres en las academias argentina y chilena. Desde un presente politizado por las demandas de los movimientos feministas que se expresaron el 8 de marzo de 2019 tanto en Buenos Aires como en Santiago, se realiza un recorrido desde los inicios de la Historia de las Mujeres hasta el presente. Asi se presentan sus principales versiones, desde la historia contributiva hasta la incorporacion de los estudios de genero y se indican los aportes y los limites de cada una de ellas. Finalmente se reflexiona sobre los peligros de banalizacion que amenazan a la disciplina. This article provides an overview of Women History’s paths in Chilean and Argentine academies. The starting point is the politized present marked by feminist movements’ demands that were expressed in Buenos Aires and Santiago on 8 March 2019. From that point on, the text traces Women’s History from its beginning to the present by focusing on main perspectives - from contributory history to gender studies - and by pointing to their contribution and downsides. Finally, the study reflects on the dangers of trivialisation that threatens historiography nowadays.
El ensayo “Femmes en negritude: Paullette Nardal e Suzane Cesaire” publicado en 2014 en la revista del College international de Philosophie, Rue Descartes, pone en valor y visibiliza el pensamiento y aporte intelectual de las constructoras fundamentales del concepto de «negritud», que luego seria empunado por Leopold Senghor y Aime Cesaire. El ensayo es uno de los pocos estudios referidos a estas mujeres y su produccion cientifica. Asimismo sugiere una concepcion diferente del concepto de identidad, pensada y articulada desde un hacer femenino, a traves del tejido de territorios mediados por la fluencia de un oceano, que impide la determinacion y fijeza propia de concepciones de la identidad que apuntan a esencialismos y purismos.
