Analiza la conexión entre saber y poder en la sociedad del capitalismo postdisciplinario. La primera parte de la tesis se aboca a explicar la relación entre saber y poder y porque para Foucault se trata de prácticas estrechamente ligadas. En la segunda parte se analiza la constitución del conocimiento científico y su relación con los dispositivos de poder del capitalismo disciplinario. En la tercera parte se propone un estudio sobre cuáles serían las relaciones entre las formas de poder y conocimiento en la sociedad contemporánea. / Tesis

Most of Rainer Maria Rilke’s works leave a deep musical impression on the reader’s mind. This impression stems first of all from the beauty of the tone and the rhythm of Rilke’s poetical language and from the occurrence of many words that can be associated with music. In addition to this, his creative work was influenced considerably by his own experiences with a variety of musical sounds and by the many thoughts in which he tried to deal with the deeper meaning and function of music. This thesis attempts to analyze Rilke’s relationship to music within the framework of his artistic development. I will try to show that Rilke, in spite of his skepticism about his own musical abilities, must have had at least an average talent for this art. Undoubtedly, he would therefore have been able to learn how to sing or to play a musical instrument, had he not been discouraged from doing so at too early an age and had his talents not been channeled so early into writing poetry.

Many of the writings of Leo Strauss were dedicated to combating the "crisis of modernity". This crisis was for him the advent and acceptance of nihilism--a state of being wherein any principle one dare dream is allowed and judgment must be withheld. He claimed that the promotion of nihilism at the hands of modern social scientists would lead to the downfall of civilization. Yet, this work seeks to show that all of these claims are made by Strauss in an attempt to hide the "truth" of nihilism from the masses and that Strauss, in fact, is a nihilist thinker. The introductory chapter of this work introduces the problem of nihilism as outlined by Strauss. It also briefly explains the positions of two other nihilist thinkers, Friedrich Nietzsche and Michel Foucault, in order to establish the thought which Strauss seems to be arguing against in his works. It then explains the writing style of Strauss as being esoteric. The following chapter will deal with the Strauss' argument for the causes of nihilism. Chapter three will be dedicated to the two solutions that Strauss presents for combating nihilism. The exoteric solution calls for a return to the teachings of the classics, specifically the three types of teaching that he recognizes--Socratic-Platonic, Aristotelian, and Thomistic. The esoteric solution, however, is to use the Platonic conception of the "noble lie" in order to hide the "truth" of nihilism. Chapters four and five will compare Strauss' nihilism to that of Nietzsche and Foucault, respectively. Each chapter will expand on the discussion already presented in the first chapter to further elucidate each thinker's version of nihilism. Finally, I will outline the conception of these three thinkers as a continuum for nihilist thought. I will also discuss how the only definitive difference between the three thinkers is their outlook on the human condition. For example, Strauss and his hidden nihilism is a direct result of his pessimistic view of the masses; whereas Nietzsche's Übermensch nihilism is brought about by his outlook on the prospect for development beyond humanity and Foucault's pure nihilism is drawn out from his notion of power/knowledge. In this way, this work will not only show Strauss as a closet nihilist but also show his integral role in understanding the full range of nihilist thought.

Informe de Seminario para optar al grado de Licenciado en Filosofía / Tratar de entender la manera en que es tratada la literatura por parte del Ministerio de Educación a través de los Programas de Enseñanza es la intención que mueve al presente trabajo. Para ello será importante analizar el contexto en donde ella se nos presenta, en otras palabras, debemos primero preocuparnos por tener una visión general del proceso educativo dentro del cual la literatura aparece como una herramienta, en apariencia, fundamental. Cuáles son los propósitos que el Ministerio tiene para con los estudiantes patente en los Programas de Estudio del área de Lenguaje y Comunicación, y de qué manera la literatura sirve a estos propósitos, creo que son preguntas que es preciso formularse para ir bosquejando un concepto de literatura presente en los Programas de Estudio. Esta parte del recorrido se encuentra plasmada en el primer capítulo de este trabajo que lleva por nombre “La literatura en los programas Educacionales del Ministerio de Educación”, para cuya realización me he servido de los Programas de primero a sexto año básico concernientes al área de Lenguaje y Comunicación. En el análisis de dichos textos de estudio me centraré principalmente en las cuestiones que a mi entender más ayudan a los fines que me he propuesto, como objetivos, modos de evaluación y actividades propuestas, entre otras cosas.

Tesis para optar al grado de Magister en Filosofía / El presente texto abordará una parte del cuantioso material que Foucault nos legó al morir para comenzar a reconocer y delimitar a partir de él, su manera de comprender el derecho al tratar sobre asuntos disímiles. Esta pretensión no sólo enfrenta la ausencia de un texto foucaultiano que reconozca la problematización del derecho como su asunto, sino también la opinión, algo extendida entre los lectores de Foucault, que asevera que el pensador francés no se interesó sobre las cuestiones jurídicas.

This thesis is positioned at the intersection of two fields of research: language and gender and language development, to address the lack of linguistically informed investigation into the emergence of gendered subjectivity. Rather than treat the domain of language and gender research as a site of resolve, the research problematises the area to create a site of contestation by drawing attention to the limitations of research based on a single theoretical framework which proposes unified gender identity as gender difference. Gender will be read not as singular identity but multiple, as a Foucauldian 'nexus of subjectivities'. The study is an investigation into the construction of gendered subjectivity through a critical discourse analysis of a family playing games. The initial contention is that gender is a process which may be performed in multiple ways which are linked to the subject positions taken up in competing discourses. Focusing on children playing games, the study examines how gendered relationships are constructed in discursive practices to propose that it is possible to identify the performance of multiple femininities/masculinites through an analysis of patterns of interaction where the negotiation of power relationships is made visible in language and action. The study is a reflexive ethnographic case study based on data collected of two siblings, a boy and a girl, and their parents playing games at home. Conducted from within a framework which strategically combines poststructuralist readings with linguistic analysis, the research is an example of the viability of 'postlinguistic' approach to discourse analysis. The thesis argues that the study of a culture as it is lived in a family reveals the emergence of gendered subjectivity in the constitutive relationship which exits language, subjectivity and discourse. It is suggested that the development of a child's multiple gendered identities towards normative gender patterns may be traced in the discursive practices which s/he mobilises as a result of the subject positions in which s/he is positioned during the research period / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

In Culture and Imperialism, Said illustrates that we have no "autonomous cultural forms," but rather "impure" ones that are the products of historically "discrepant experiences." American culture has an interesting relationship with the history of imperialism. The Europeans that settled the U.S. imported slave labor to assist in the growth of the new nation and this practice ironically "hybridized" American culture despite institutionalized segregation of the races, mixing disparate cultural ideas in a common social location. Said's theory fits an analysis of jazz in America since the music was instigated by the enslavement of native Africans, West Indians and inhabitants of the Caribbean, and the tensions this produced between traditional European and non-European cultural experiences are emblematic of its evolution into a popular form of music. Concomitant to its popularity in the later 1930s was a scholarly interest in the history of jazz, which culminated in narratives ascribing to it a recognizable "American" history and a set of familiar European aesthetic characteristics, neglecting the "discrepant experiences" of jazz history. During the 1940s, some artists were working with musical ideas that expanded the innovative spaces left open by those preceding them. Criticized for playing "anti-jazz," they produced music for audiences who were late to realize the significance of their contributions. Among them was John Coltrane, a saxophonist who took these controversial approaches into unconventional musical territories. Similar to the shortsighted criticisms weighed against his mentors, critics regarding Coltrane neglected the ways in which his music is important as an expression of the fundamental power struggles that are at the heart of American culture. I analyze several of Coltrane's recordings to illustrate how they are artifacts which can be studied for evidence of the tendency in narratives to preclude the "hybridity" important to the history of jazz. My focus is on the liner notes that accompany the recordings, which I read "contrapuntally" with other forces in their production in order to discuss the tensions between economics, communication and representation that are integral to an understanding of Coltrane's music. / Graduation date: 1999
