Nuestro texto busca dar pautas para entender la postura y el tratamiento que esta autora hace, tanto de la corporalidad como de las estructuras de poder que constituyen al sujeto, el cual sólo tiene como posibilidad el desafiarlas, el desestabilizarlas y volverlas a configurar para significarlas como lo que son: meros constructos provisionales. En este sentido, desde la óptica butleriana es inviable lograr políticas estables.

A Woman of the 60´s Caught in a Contemporary TV Series: Claire Dunphy a Housewife in a “Modern Family”

El presente analisis se enfrenta el modelo femenino propuesto por el caracter con la concepcion feminista de las mujeres reales durante las primeras cuatro temporadas de la serie. Esto permite establecer el tipo de estilo de vida y los valores que transmite a la audiencia. Mediante la aplicacion de un modelo de analisis etico que cuestiona acerca de sus ambitos antropologicos, Claire aparece como una mujer moderna que eligio a su familia sobre su carrera y ha encontrado en su puesto actual, la sensacion de una vida exito y amorosa.
Effects of the #MeToo campaign in media, social and political spheres: The case of Mexico

Two aspects of Mexico’s social context are considered for the study: (1) a country where women’s sexual harassment has deep roots in gender inequality and (2) the fact that during 2017‐18 very notorious political campaigns contending for the country’s presidency were occurring; hence the study evaluates the presence of women’s sexual harassment topics in the candidates’ political proposals. The results show that in Mexico the #MeToo movement had the expected effect of thousands of women expressing themselves about this problem, highlighting the multiple work scenarios where sexual harassment occurs. It shows the impact of the #MeToo movement in local # social movements extending their influence from the entertainment industry to universities and other professions. The ...
Rebuilding the Temple of Graces: Gift-giving as the Foundation of Care
OEconomia, 2018

This article is based on the thesis that the development and functionality of the market and the state are a result of something previous, i.e., the presence of the gift in social relations. The idea of the gift is related with charis, which is at the root of care and is in addition closely related to the religious concepts of grace and charity. In order to show that this notion was present in the Western classical tradition—from Aristotle to Scholastic thought—this article traces the foundation and evolution of money through the lens of social interaction in terms of friendship and fraternity. Finally, it suggests that a social order based exclusively on contractual exchange relations is a consequence of an interpretation of the gift as a pure and generous gesture without the moral obligation of reciprocity. In opposition to that thesis, critics of modern economics, including feminist and Catholic thinkers, come together to defend the superiority of gift over contract, that is to say, of distributive over commutative justice.
Una Mujer de los ’60 Atrapada en un Serie de la TV Contemporánea: Claire Dunphy una Ama de Casa en “Modern Family”
Communication & Social Change, 2015
<p class=&... more <p class="hppag28Text">The character of Claire Dunphy from the TV series Modern Family is a married housewife with three kids who is fully dedicated to her home, husband and kids. The present analysis confronts the feminine model proposed by the character with the feminist conception of actual women during the first four seasons of the series. This allows establishing the kind of lifestyle and values that she transmits to the audience. By applying an ethical analysis model which questions about her anthropological spheres, Claire appears as a modern woman who chose her family over her career and has found in her current role, the feeling of a succeeding and loving life.</p>
