Rediscovering the philosophical importance of Jose Ingenieros

Gomez, Manuela Alejandra 16 August 2006 (has links)
This thesis is the first presentation of the philosophical ideas of Jose Ingenieros in English. The works of this Latin American philosopher have never been translated. Until now, his ideas have been limited to Spanish speakers. My aim is to contribute to the rediscovery of Ingenieros and to incorporate his ideas presented in El Hombre Mediocre and Hacia una Moral sin Dogmas to the current philosophical and sociopolitical discourse. In this thesis, I present the impact of Ingenieros’ life and his radical moral philosophy. I also explore the relationship between him and Ralph Waldo Emerson. In addition, I explain why this link bridges a gap between Latin American philosophy and American pragmatism. Furthermore, I analyze the philosophical implications of Ingenieros’ moral account, which states that there is a hierarchy of men: inferior, mediocre and superior, and that it is the duty of the superior to inspire and promote the perfection of the inferior. I analyze possible objections to his account of idealistic elitism, but ultimately argue that recognizing these differences does not lead to pessimistic effects. I will argue that, if applied correctly, his account overcomes many of the challenges of egalitarianism, the opposing view that claims that men are equal in moral value.

The madrid novels of pereda

Smith, Clifford January 1971 (has links)
José María de Pereda (I833-I906) lived most of his life at his house in Polanco, in Santander Province on the Cantabrian Coast. The greater part of his novels and stories are set in the towns and villages of this province, but throughout them, he was conscious of the influence that Madrid and its customs was exerting on the traditional way of life in the small centers of provincial society. His awareness of this social force is most clearly expressed in three long short stories and two full-length novels, Pedro Sánchez and La Montálvez, in which the principal setting is the Spanish capital city. These novels have never received the critical acclaim that is their due, because of the desire of many critics to judge them by non-literary criteria. This thesis studies Pereda's presentation of the historical background to the novels and his analysis of various aspects of Madrid life, especially the political system, the press and the attitudes of fashionable society to love and sex, to education and religion. His ideas on the aesthetics of art and on Spain's literary heritage give rise to certain trends in his narrative style; this and the technical accomplishment of the two full-length novels, is discussed at some length. A final section analyses his creation of characters and situations, and his treatment of themes in these two novels, in order to show that the real measure of his success is the host of characters, whom he made human and artistically credible. / Arts, Faculty of / French, Hispanic, and Italian Studies, Department of / Graduate

Alteridad en los relatos sobre condenados publicados por José María Arguedas

Vilca Mendoza, Elizabeth Ofelia January 2015 (has links)
El presente trabajo tiene como base una monografía presentada en el curso de Literatura Quechua en el año 2008, dirigido por el profesor Manuel Larrú. Nuestra hipótesis consistía en la afirmación de la existencia de una situación de alteridad con respecto de los personajes en el relato “El negociante en harinas” que forma parte de Canciones y cuentos del pueblo quechua (1949). Esto nos llevó a postular que a partir del lugar de origen o al que correspondían los personajes, la alteridad determinaba sus identidades como sujetos ligados a la cultura andina en el sentido de respeto y valoración que demostraban frente a sus normas de convivencia. El concepto de alteridad utilizado tiene el sentido que desarrolla Rolena Adorno en su artículo “El sujeto colonial y la construcción cultural de la alteridad” (1988). Así, mediante categorías como sujeto colonizador y sujeto colonial, la autora identifica a españoles e indios respectivamente. Ambos están relacionados por modelos comparativos como la similitud y la antítesis, que sirvieron para concebir la humanidad del Nuevo Mundo. De esta manera, en el análisis del relato, la similitud y la contraposición eran aspectos que relacionaban al personaje condenado con los personajes humanos: por ejemplo, el negociante y el condenado eran similares en conducta, ambos tenían propensión a la abundancia: obtener bienes o acumular ganancias en el caso del negociante y comer desmesuradamente en el caso del condenado. El ayudante del negociante en harinas se mostraba, en cambio, como un sujeto más bien prudente y observador, es decir, era opuesto a los otros. Ese era en esencia el sentido de nuestra monografía. Sin embargo, con el paso de los años se desarrollaron más investigaciones en torno a los marcos de interpretación de los relatos de tradición oral andina los mismos que abarcaron también los relatos sobre condenados. De esta manera, las categorías como runa, mana runa desarrollados por Pablo Landeo y wakcha, pacha y sus dimensiones hanan pacha, uku pacha y kay pacha utilizados en el estudio de John Valle constituyen categorías elaboradas y ampliadas de lo que habíamos postulado en la monografía. En ese sentido, la alteridad como categoría interpretativa de los relatos de tradición andina no tendría mayor aporte de no ser por el componente histórico que precisa Rolena Adorno para el caso de los textos coloniales. Este aspecto no había sido trabajado en nuestra monografía. En conformidad con los objetivos de nuestra investigación, nos propusimos expandir nuestro análisis a más relatos sobre condenados, entonces centramos nuestra atención en las colecciones de relatos y canciones que José María Arguedas había preparado. La selección del corpus que corresponde a nuestro objeto de estudio se debe sencillamente al interés que Arguedas le prestaba a los relatos sobre condenados. La complejidad que representan las interrelaciones y conflictos presentes ya en la literatura arguediana nos motivó a pensar también en la obra antropológica arguediana como compleja. Por ello, nos vimos en la necesidad de plantearnos la siguiente interrogante a manera de problema: ¿Cómo se configura a los hombres en los relatos sobre condenados en la obra antropológica de José María Arguedas? Para resolver esa cuestión, postulamos la hipótesis: la alteridad como categoría extrapolada de los estudios coloniales explica la configuración del hombre andino a partir de la configuración del condenado en seis relatos sobre condenados: “El negociante en harinas” y “La historia de Miguel Wayapa” de Canciones y cuentos del pueblo quechua (1949), relato 23 y relato 21 de “Folklore del Valle del Mantaro. Provincias de Jauja y Concepción. Cuentos mágico-realistas y canciones de fiestas tradicionales” (1953), y “El joven velludo” y “Mi abuela y un condenado” de “Cuentos religioso-mágicos quechuas de Lucanamarca” (1960-1961). Nos referimos a la construcción cultural de la alteridad en estos relatos. Así, en el marco de un enfoque interdisciplinario realizamos nuestro estudio donde extrapolamos la categoría alteridad utilizada en los estudios coloniales y nos sustentamos en algunas categorías como pacha, wakcha y runa que provienen del pensamiento andino.
