TL;DR: In this article, the authors address the problem of identity in the modern world with the theoretical support of important sociologists such as Berger, Bauman, or Beck, and show that in the first stage of modernity identity rested on solid pillars, such as work, family, nation and religion, which tend to grow weaker in the second stage, so that identity becomes more fragile and unstable.
Abstract: This paper approaches the problem of identity in the modern world with the theoretical support of important sociologists such as Berger, Bauman, or Beck. In the first place, the general issue is tackled of how with the transition to modernity identity changes its nature and acquires specific traits which are examined, together with the discontents and reactions this change gives birth to. In the second place, two fundamental stages of modernity are distinguished which have a different effect on identity. Thus, I attempt to show that in the first stage of modernity identity rested on solid pillars, such as work, family, nation and religion, which tend to grow weaker in the second stage, so that identity becomes more fragile and unstable. To scape this fate, I conclude, many individuals adhere to a group identity, sometimes of a monolithic character, a rising phenomenon that will require further inquiries.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make reference to a painting by Maria Blanchard, "Mujer con abanico" and highlight the following characteristics: the representation of desire without false modesty, the proliferation of the long poem and the textual strategy of revisionism, the relation of the post-modern lyric subject to feminist perspectives, the representation and reevaluation of the semiotic order.
Abstract: An outstanding phenomenon of the literary history of Spain during the last third of the twentieth century is the proliferation of poetry written by women. A feminist paradigm of reading makes evident a collective voice. To sketch of the nature of the poetry written by women during this period the author makes reference to a painting by Maria Blanchard, “Mujer con abanico” and underscores the following characteristics: the representation of desire without false modesty, the proliferation of the long poem and the textual strategy of revisionism, the relation of the postmodern lyric subject to feminist perspectives, the representation of a nomadic subject, and the reevaluation of the semiotic order. Paradoxically, the strength of the collective voice opens a variety of subject positions and makes the “feroz individualismo” of the writers resound.

TL;DR: In a context of marked tensions between gynocritics and contemporary Spanish women writers, Carmen Martin Gaite's novel Nubosidad variable (Variable Cloud, 1992) stands out as a curious paradox.
Abstract: In a context of marked tensions between gynocritics and contemporary Spanish women writers, Carmen Martin Gaite’s novel Nubosidad variable (Variable Cloud,1992) stands out as a curious paradox. As is well known, Martin Gaite repeatedly declared not to be a feminist and even scorned women who fought for equality between both sexes. This article argues that Nubosidad variable, however, constitutes one of the best examples of a consciously feminist text. In this novel Martin Gaite applies some of the most prominent paradigms of feminist literary theory, such as the construction of a non-linear and a-chronological narration (Julia Kristeva), the attempt to create a “language of the body” (Helene Cixous), the foregrounding of a mother-daughter bond (Luisa Muraro), as well as the use of female writing as a means of self-discovery (Elaine Showalter).

TL;DR: Dulce Chacon´s narrative is committed to women, specially to the conflicts that women lived during the XXth century in Spain this paper, and it can be divided in two main groups: on the one hand, the ones entitled The trilogy of the escape, which correspond to the beginnings of her work, and which reflect psychological concerns and feminine conflicts in Spain of the present times; on the other hand, writings dedicated to recuperate the memories of women that were involved in the Spanish Civil war (1936-39), together with the period that corresponds to the
Abstract: Dulce Chacon´s narrative is committed to women, specially to the conflicts that women lived during the XXth century in Spain. Her writings can be divided in two main groups: on the one hand, the ones entitled The trilogy of the escape , which correspond to the beginnings of her work, and which reflect psychological concerns and feminine conflicts in Spain of the present times; on the other hand, the writings dedicated to recuperate the memories of women that were involved in the Spanish Civil war (1936-39), together with the period that corresponds to the post war. The most peculiar device in Chacon´s works is the fact that both, collective and individual identity, are related to memory, which appears to be embodied in the main characters of her stories, conditioning and determining their destiny. Dulce Chacon´s narrations point out a cultural reflection of the fighting of contemporary women in Spain, in spite of the fact that the feminine characters are not claiming any feminist doctrine in their discourses. One thing that readers should take into account is that Chacon´s stories originate from documented oral sources, and this confirms her particular interest towards oral expression and words; that might be the reason why she displays the most incredible expertise when building up the discourses of the different characters involved in the stories she wrote.

Abstract: This article explores the increasing diversification with regard to the plurality of identities and cultures within the contemporary societies as well as the tendency to ethnify and/or culturalize social conflicts. In this context, searching for a conception of common life which permits the configuration of a collective identity able to integrate the mentioned differences, some arguments will be developed in favour of the civic alternative represented by republicanism.

Abstract: Carmen de Burgos (Almeria, 1867-Madrid, 1932) with her literary and erudite work was part of the main currents of the Spanish literature throughout the first third of the XXth Century The dimension and variety of the work seem endless: more than a hundred short and long novels, literary studies, travel books, biographies, translations, social studies She was the first female newspaper editor She published thousands of articles in the main Spanish and foreign publications The yearning of modernity and social justice always guided her As far as her literary trajectory is concerned, Carmen de Burgos always held two complementary paths that she followed throughout different tendencies and influences and ordered her wide production: her commitment to society and a constant desire of plenitude that pushed her to explore the world looking for an unreachable paradise Travelling therefore occupied most part of her life and work Vitalism and rationalism define her life and her literature
TL;DR: The role of cultural identities in applied ethics has been analyzed in this article, where the authors analyze the importance of cultural identity in applying applied ethics in the field of medicine and biology in Europe and in the United States.
Abstract: The article analyses the role of cultural identities in Applied Ethics. Biotechnologies have been actually valued from different perspectives in Europe and in the United States. Since Nazi research and the politics of racial hygiene have shown the role of science under dictatorship. Nazi Doctors acted as soldiers. Therefore The Nurnberg Code claimed respect for human rights in Medicine, to protect individuals in clinical research. However American Doctors considered the Code suitable for a different context. Norms for a “barbaric” research, far away from the American standards. But in the United States radiations experiments have ignored laws and moral standards. Decades later, the Constitutional Treaty for the European Union emphasizes the value of dignity and personal integrity in the fields of Medicine and Biology. The informed consent and the prohibition of Eugenics connect then the future and the past.
TL;DR: The relation between language and collective identities has been examined in this paper, where language has been associated more and more closely with national identity since 1789, and the identities expressed by language were more likely to be religious, regional, occupational or sexual.
Abstract: This article is concerned with the relation between language and collective identities. Since 1789, language has been associated more and more closely with national identity. Before the French Revolution, on the other hand, the identities expressed by language were more likely to be religious, regional, occupational or sexual. All the same, a concern with national pride is revealed in early modern treatises in praise of particular vernaculars (Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, etc.), while attempts to purify different languages from the “contamination” of foreign words express a form of xenophobia.
TL;DR: The authors analyzes and criticizes from the perspective of the philosophy of language Ricoeur's homology between one of the main tenets of hermeneutics and the concept of (individual and collective) narrative.
Abstract: This article analyzes and criticizes from the perspective of the philosophy of language Ricoeur’s homology between one of the main tenets of hermeneutics —the hermeneutic circle— and the concept of (individual and collective) narrative. Narrative is a topic much discussed in contemporary political philosophy in connection with the problem of identity. The goal of the article is to retain the concept of narrative as valid for political philosophy in reference to identity-formation, but only if we leave aside many of its hermeneutic presuppositions, such as the priority of metaphor over metonymy, and of identity over difference. In order to sustain this thesis, it establishes a parallel between metaphor, narrative and the visual image using as an example a commentary on the work of the video-artist Bill Viola.

TL;DR: This paper presents some of the attributes that must be included in the concept of containment and organization of buildings closely linked to LS’s, which is a new level in the hierarchy of hybrid, semi-artificial nature, formed by three sub-systems: ecosystem, the human body as an organism or biosystem, and the building or artificial system.
Abstract: The dual purpose of meeting the great housing needs of inter-tropical zones, without further compromising the stability of their ecosystems, requires new concepts that help bridge the gap that exists between the organizational schemes of natural and artificial systems Based on the wide scientific information available about living systems (LS), this paper –through analogies and deductions– presents some of the attributes that must be included in the concept of containment and organization of buildings closely linked to LS’s To this end, the concept of the Kiron System (KS) is presented, which is a new level in the hierarchy of hybrid, semi-artificial nature, formed by three sub-systems: ecosystem, the human body as an organism or biosystem, and the building or artificial system Its function is, precisely, to eliminate the dichotomy between the organizational logic of natural systems and artificial systems; an organization where these systems can link their matter, energy and information processes to form the functional components of KS It is in the core of the KS system where the concept of containment and organization of activities, traditionally assigned to buildings, is modified The boundaries of the Kiron System become the new “container” in which the building or artificial system (AS) is transformed, simultaneously, into container and contained In this scheme, the organizational role of AS is subordinated to the organizational characteristics of living systems in which it is nested, and its function is to organize, in a specific and gradual manner, the interactions between the natural elements present in each situation, to build the hybrid structural components in which the functional components of KS must be materialized

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze the evolution of Elisabeth Mulder's lyrical works between 1927 and 1933; an evolution from the poetry of symbolism and "malditismo" to poetry of the serenity of the Novecentism.
Abstract: This essay is about Elisabeth Mulder (Barcelona 1904-1987) works. We can settle her works mainly between 30’s and 50’s. This essay is structured in three main parts. 1) “ the lyrical prehistory of Elisabeth Mulder” (“prehistory” and “history” are concepts used by Consuelo Berges referring to two different periods in the works of Elisabeth Mulder), analyses the evolution of her lyrical works between 1927 and 1933; an evolution from the poetry of symbolism and ”malditismo” to the poetry of the serenity of the Novecentism. 2): “The narrative history of Elisabeth Mulder” offers us the chronological study of her narrative works, as well as the study of the main formal and topical characteristics of her narrative works, going beyond the cliches settled by the critics about Mulder’s cosmopolitan, and elegant novel, a novel that was so different from the Spanish postwar- novel. This essay offers us three interesting elements in Mulder’s narrative works: her concept about identity, her concept about love and the utilization of humour as an element to break literary cliches. 3) “A writer between Modernism and Modern Times” analyses the combination of elements that come from the Modernism and the ones that come from the Avant-Garde in the narrative works of Elisabeth Mulder.
