Since its earliest and most canonical formulations, the question of translation has often been approached from an understanding that locates its meaning in a place more or less transcendent to the words or the letter. However, it is legitimate to consider different ways that openly bet on literal translation and make the formal aspects of the language the main aspect to be...
In late 1967, shortly after having been released from a psychiatric hospital, the poet Paul Celan turned his attention to the Middle High German writings of the philosopher, theologian, and mystic Meister Eckhart. Celan's engagement with Eckhart resulted in the final three poems of the final volume of poetry that Celan was able to submit for publication before committing suicide...
Starting from the notion of translation as the reading of a text, the article focuses on the difference within translation. In contrast to conventional notions of translation, which conceive it as translation from one homogeneous, self-contained language into another, I foreground the multilingualism of the language I am writing in. Consequently, this, in turn, makes it possible...
This study explores the connections between Friedrich Schleiermacher and Walter Benjamin, specifically regarding their respective theorizations on translation. The article points to some of the affirmations that presuppose the impact of the former on the thought of the latter, and sheds light on key aspects of Schleiermacher's thinking on translation. Moreover, it also examines...
Uber die verschiedenen Methoden des Ubersetzens has become a canonical reference in the contemporary debate on translation. Over time, a hegemonic reading has been established that highlights the foreignization-domestication pair as its central hypothesis and, at the same time, denounces Schleiermacher's nationalism. Through a close reading of the text, it is shown that this is...
The Freudian unconscious is characterized as both translatable and untranslatable. From this thesis, which comes mainly from The Interpretation of Dreams, we propose three consequences for the theory and practice of psychoanalysis. First, in this paper we will develop each of these consequences and show how they relate to each other in the following order: the (un)translatability...
The present work proposes to analyze the intersection between aesthetics and rhetoric in Die Aufgabe des Übersetzers, by Walter Benjamin. Based on this, through a way of expository interpretation, we will address how a series of mediations are articulated among translation, Sprache and reading, such as the rhetorical-aesthetic grounding of the verbal symbolism of poetry and the...

This paper critically addresses the aesthetic concept that, since philosophical modernity has shaped the sentimental relationship of human beings with the so-called Nature, the feeling of the sublime. The aim is to contribute to the delimitation of a working quarry of a cosmo-aesthetics or terrestrial aesthetics, which is conceived as a philosophical discipline concerned with the...
This article raises the need to redefine the foundations of humans, as they have been considered since modernity, in light of the profound crisis in which we find ourselves. It argues that the feminist uprising that has taken place over the last decade has been decisive in promoting a philosophical critique of the concept of humanity and the subject that accompanies it. First, I...
Kant defined his sense of critique as the sovereign power that aims to introduce metaphysics onto the solid path of science. Undeniably, this legitimate claim presupposed that science was following a secure path. For Kant, this was certainly the stabilized procedure followed by Copernicus and Newton, what Kant called the "Copernican revolution." However, when science itself is...
This article tries to show Nancy Fraser as an exponent of contemporary critical theory. This objective does not ignore the marked differences between her political philosophy, for a long time rather focused on social justice, and what has characterized the authors of the Frankfurt school during these one hundred years. Nor is it possible to ignore that, while she was elaborating...
In times of darkness, in the path of critical theory, this article will approach the apocalyptic experience of our days. Firts, we will refer to the genocidal national colonial political theology that enables it, as it reigns today in Palestine. We shall read it with the warnings that Günther Anders bequeathed to our time: his exhortation to activate the critical imagination...

The first part of this article is dedicated to the poetic narrative of the Caribbean that takes shape in the extensive literary corpus influenced by this dynamic, fluctuating, and indefinable region. The Caribbean surpasses its borders and spills out in a poetic cartography typical of mythical fractality. The notion of the Caribbean surpasses all geographical constructions and...
Periodicals offer a useful space to study developments and ruptures of written production at a specific historical moment of the cultural field. In this article, we are interested in analyzing four editorial projects (two newspapers and two magazines) that circulated in the Anglophone and Spanish-speaking Caribbean during the 1930s and 1940s, to identify the discourses and...
The article analyzes the expression of Afro-feminine identity in the Anthology of Afro-Colombian Women Poets (2010). It traces the expressions of the racialized feminine condition through the poetic voices that present themselves as black women who are caregivers, mothers, and desiring bodies, and who, also, recognize themselves as heirs of an Afro-descendant memory linked to the...
The article addresses Corazón que ríe, corazón que llora by the Guadeloupean writer Maryse Condé. The objective is to analyze some of the meanings of this book, such as segregation, racism, and discrimination. To do this, the analysis focuses on three texts that are part of this volume: "Retrato de familia", "Clase de historia", and "La maestra y Margarite". The theoretical...
The article analyses three novels (two Francophone and one Hispanophone) written by women authors, which deploy a gendered perspective on the experience of women subjected to slavery between the 18th and 19th centuries - as well as their multiple resistances. The three, written in the 21st century, reflect a new impulse to recover this history(s) within the space of the Caribbean...

One of the fundamental challenges facing contemporary philosophy is the ecological crisis. Different concepts emerge to explain this new scenario: Anthropocene, Capitalocene, or Chthulucene. For the latter, the fundamental issue is to imagine a new global scenario that incorporates new agents, in addition to humans: plants, animals, objects, bacteria, and technological devices...
This article aims to prove that Giovanni Piana's philosophy of music sufficiently illustrates the possibility of a structured and systematic reflection on music. The proposal presented by the Italian philosopher, which originates and develops within the framework of a phenomenological perspective, allows us to understand the methodological problems that must be resolved and the...
I am interested in highlighting that meta-anthropology is a response to the crisis of metaphysics in the xx centuries and it has been developed avant la lettre in the philosophical proposal of Max Scheler, Vladimir Soloviov, and Nikolai Berdyaev. Uniting these thinkers through this axis of meta-anthropology is an attempt that starts from the idea that the work of the three was to...
Several representatives of contemporary political philosophical thought have made an important contribution to the links that can be established between the problem of passions (affections, emotions, feelings, etc.) and the field of human action (moral, social, and political). In this context, the present study considers the contribution of the French-German philosopher Éric Weil...
