Factores temporales y ambientales asociados a los llamados de los búhos en la reserva Selva El Ocote, Chiapas, México
Authors: Vázquez-Pérez José Raúl , Enríquez Paula L.
Published: April 2023

Los búhos son usualmente poco visibles en la oscuridad de selvas y bosques por lo que sus llamados o vocalizaciones son la forma de detectarlos y estudiarlos. Sin embargo, algunas vocalizaciones pueden variar durante la noche en asociación con factores ambientales. En este estudio se evaluó la frecuencia de llamados de búhos durante la noche y se determinaron variables ambientales que pueden estar asociadas a los llamados del Tecolote Vermiculado (Megascops guatemalae), el Tecolote Bajeño (Glaucidium ridgwayi) y el Búho Café (Strix squamulata) en la Reserva de la Biosfera Selva El Ocote, Chiapas, México. Se realizaron muestreos durante 12 noches por mes en 4 transectas en 3 horarios, registrando diferentes condiciones ambientales (posición de la luna, nubosidad, iluminación ambiental, fase lunar e iluminación de la luna). La frecuencia de llamados de Megascops guatemalae y de Glaucidium ridgwayi varió entre horarios y fue mayor en el crepúsculo del amanecer. Las variables ambientales influyeron en la frecuencia de llamados, aunque su intensidad varió entre especies. La mayor frecuencia de llamados fue explicada por la posición de la luna y la iluminación ambiental en Megascops guatemalae y en Strix squamulata, y por la posición y la iluminación de la luna en Glaucidium ridgwayi. Los horarios y los factores ambientales que influyen en la frecuencia de llamados de los búhos constituyen información básica para entender la relación entre las especies y el ambiente, así como para mejorar los diseños de muestreo en estudios ecológicos de rapaces nocturnas.

Published: April 2023

El Cóndor Andino (Vultur gryphus) se encuentra en declinación, mientras que en Ecuador la mayoría de los esfuerzos de monitoreo se han concentrado en el norte del país. En este trabajo se generó un modelo de distribución potencial del Cóndor Andino para los Andes sur de Ecuador. La altitud y la estacionalidad climática fueron variables importantes en el modelo. Las localidades de mayor altitud son los sitios más convenientes para la especie, aunque las zonas de mediana altitud (aproximadamente 2000 msnm) con estacionalidad climática también son sitios a considerar. En función de los resultados obtenidos, las actividades de conservación de la especie deberían concentrarse en localidades cercanas a Nabón, Girón y Saraguro, las cuales no han sido evaluadas previamente en detalle.

Agricultural expansion and intensification resulted in important changes in the agricultural landscape of the Pampas region, Argentina. We used linear mixed models to analyze the relationship between environmental variables associated to land use/cover, productivity and climate and changes in densities of two bird species, the Fork-tailed Flycatcher (Tyrannus savana) and the White-browed Blackbird (Sturnella superciliaris). The study area in central Argentina was divided in three agroproductive sub-regions: (1) predominantly agricultural, (2) mixed agricultural– rangeland and (3) mixed agricultural–forested rangeland. Bird populations were sampled annually during 2003–2011 using point-transects along secondary roads (48 transects). Mean estimated density for Fork-tailed Flycatcher was 0.132 ind/ha, increased in the agricultural sub-region and was associated with decreasing forest cover and increasing fallow and weedy fields cover. Mean density of the White-browed Blackbird was 0.045 ind/ha, decreased in the agricultural-rangeland sub-region and increased in landscapes with more perennial pastures, fallow and weedy fields and annual pastures, avoiding sites with more forest cover. Productivity and climatic variables only showed a strong association with White-browed Blackbird density. Our results suggest that land use/cover, productivity and climatic factors are important variables when planning strategies to conserve bird population at a regional level in agroecosystems of Argentina.
Evaluación preliminar de las poblaciones de Pyrrhura orcesi en remanentes boscosos de la provincia de El Oro, Ecuador
Authors: Echeverría Vaca Gabriela , Garzón Santomaro César
Published: April 2023

El Perico de El Oro (Pyrrhura orcesi) es una especie endémica de Ecuador que se encuentra en peligro de extinción. La principal amenaza para la especie es la fragmentación del hábitat. Se evaluó la abundancia de Pyrrhura orcesi en tres áreas no protegidas ubicadas en los bosques nublados de la provincia de El Oro mediante observaciones directas y registros auditivos en puntos fijos de conteo. El número máximo registrado para las tres áreas fue de 254 individuos. La abundancia relativa fue similar en las tres áreas. La abundancia no estuvo asociada con la cobertura de bosque. Los resultados del trabajo muestran el valor que tienen los remanentes boscosos en el área de estudio, en los cuales Pyrrhura orcesi puede persistir a pesar no tener ninguna protección.

“Cara-a-cara con el Caracara”: una propuesta para reconectar a las personas con la naturaleza a través de la observación de aves
Authors: Pizarro J. Cristóbal , Rau Jaime , Anderson Christopher B.
Published: April 2023

Outdoor recreational practices reflect the diverse ways of living together with biodiversity. One of these practices, birdwatching or birding, has gained world-wide popularity, favouring the socializing of people and nature through birds. Birding also can promote an ethical relationship with birds, people and their culture. In this work, we present “biocultural birding” as a theoretical–practical proposal to enrich birding ethics using ecological and cultural narratives associated with birds in an observation–reflection cycle. We integrate interdisciplinary research with metaphor composition and guided birdwatching activities in Puerto Williams, Chile. The Chimango Caracara (Milvago chimango) is capable of linking ecological and social systems in the Southern Cone. We communicate these findings using the metaphors “marine-terrestrial link” and “face-to-face with the caracara”, which we constructed based on ecological research and Emmanuel Lévinas’ expression “face-to-face”. Using the criteria of referential, social, environmental and sustainability adequacy, we evaluated how these metaphors bring together participants and birds, their ecosystems and the cultures in which they participate. We recommend to adapt this proposal with other birds and contexts, as a way to diversify human–nature relationships and promote respect for birds and cultures in socio-ecological systems.
La caza y el trampeo de aves en la vida de los pobladores de Mar Chiquita, Córdoba, Argentina
Authors: Arias Toledo Bárbara , Trillo Cecilia
Published: April 2023

We recorded the use (current or past) of 28 bird species through semistructured surveys to 40 families from the area of influence of Mar Chiquita, Córdoba, Argentina. The main use of birds is consumption, but not the only one, since we recorded the existence of species that are trapped for using them as pets, chosen for the beauty of their song or for the attractiveness of their colours. Some birds are used as guardians to warn of the presence of strangers in the home. An interesting aspect is the magical component of the perception of the birds, existing two medicinal species that include magical–symbolic aspects in their use, and other three that are considered a bad omen. There were statistically significant differences between animal groups hunted for consumption, mammals being the most represented, followed by birds. Our results indicate that birds form an important part of the life of the inhabitants of Mar Chiquita, both in material and symbolic aspects.
Las aves en las narraciones de los pobladores del norte de Córdoba: formas alternativas de pensar los valores augurales de las aves
Authors: Badini Julieta , Wajner Matías , Zamudio Fernando
Published: April 2023

We analyzed contemporary oral narratives about birds collected among rural inhabitants of northern Córdoba in order to discuss alternative ways of interpreting human–bird relationships. A total of 150 stories were analyzed in terms of their typology, representativeness, ecological and social aspects expressed in them and functionality, as well as the utilitarian value of the species. In addition, we analyzed alternative ways of interpreting and classifying the augural role of birds. We propose that the narrative shows animistic traits (continuity between animals and humans) according to which the augural role of birds can be interpreted as a non-verbal communicative vestige between humans and avifauna. The mentioned birds (29 species) were grouped into 15 taxonomic orders and 22 families. The narratives classified as knowledge/practices made up 79.3% of the total of the non-narrative stories, while 19.5% corresponded to narrative stories. Ethological knowledges were among the best represented. Non-narrative stories referred to ecological knowledge about birds and practices related to their use as food. Myths, legends and anecdotes were the best represented narrative stories and, in general, they worked as transmitters of norms of social behaviours. The “ornithoauguries” can be explained as the interpretation of ecological knowledge of birds, as the elucidation of an intraspecific zoosemiotic message recoded by humans, or as an intersubjective communication between beings, as it happens in indigenous societies. Finally, we discuss the interpretation of these auguries in mestizo societies such as the creoles of northern Córdoba, which have indigenous and European influences.
Las aves en el patrimonio biocultural de los crianceros rurales del centro-norte de la Patagonia, Argentina
Authors: Castillo Lucía , Ladio Ana
Published: April 2023

Los habitantes de la meseta patagónica de la provincia de Chubut, Argentina, han basado su supervivencia en múltiples estrategias, generando diversos vínculos vitales y recíprocos con la fauna. Con el tiempo, muchas de estas familias mapuches, tehuelches y criollas han construido una identidad criancera que se crea y recrea en el presente. Habitan en establecimientos ganaderos de pequeña escala y poseen pequeñas majadas de ovinos y caprinos. Numerosas manifestaciones de su acervo biocultural pueden ser visibilizadas como patrimonio etnozoológico local, como lo son los múltiples conocimientos y expresiones culturales acerca de las aves. Se realizaron entrevistas abiertas y en profundidad a 20 crianceros de Sierra Rosada, Sierra Ventana y El Escorial. Parte del patrimonio biocultural ornitológico relevado refiere a 15 especies de aves silvestres y 1 domesticada, distinguiéndose una variedad de roles de índole material-simbólico, que incluye la obtención de distintas partes del cuerpo para ser usadas como alimento, medicina, elementos domésticos y adornos, siendo el Choique (Rhea pennata) la especie más versátil. Además, se destacan 11 especies anunciadoras de cambios en el clima o eventos sociales en la vida pastoril. En el patrimonio ornitológico local se evidencian imperativos éticos de alto valor para la conservación biocultural, por lo cual su valoración y difusión es esencial frente a los drásticos cambios ambientales y socio-culturales que experimenta la región.
Percepciones humanas sobre las aves rapaces: una revisión sinóptica centrada en las costumbres y mitos de la zona sur-austral de Chile
Authors: Raimilla Víctor , Rau Jaime
Published: April 2023

Las aves rapaces han simbolizado poder a nivel global y son parte de los mitos y las leyendas locales. En la zona sur-austral de Chile, las actitudes humanas hacia las aves rapaces son ampliamente variadas como resultado de una mezcla cultural, principalmente entre conquistadores españoles y pueblos nativos (mapuche, selk’nam, yagán). Las aves rapaces han sido consideradas por los humanos como beneficiosas para la agricultura (e.g., control de plagas) pero también como perjudiciales al alimentarse de aves de corral o por ser “de mal agüero”. Se realizó una búsqueda sinóptica pero comprehensiva de la literatura académica y de libros sobre mitos y leyendas del sur de Chile con el fin de evaluar la percepción que los pobladores de esa zona tienen de ellas. Se encontró que Milvago chimango, Caracara plancus, Parabuteo unicinctus, los búhos y las aves rapaces conocidas localmente con el nombre genérico de peucos están asociados con daños o malos augurios. Milvago chimango, Elanus leucurus y los búhos se consideran beneficiosos para la salud y la economía de subsistencia humana.
Aves y mocovíes: una mirada a sus relaciones en el siglo XVIII en la región del Gran Chaco Meridional a partir de fuentes jesuitas
Authors: Rosso Cintia N. , Pautasso Andrés
Published: April 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las relaciones que los mocovíes tenían con las aves de su entorno en la región meridional del Gran Chaco argentino. Se caracterizaron algunos de los dominios o ámbitos culturales en los que las especies de aves aparecen representadas en las fuentes históricas producidas por los jesuitas, tanto aquellos que misionaron entre esas poblaciones indígenas entre 1743–1767 como los que elaboraron la historia de esta orden religiosa en el área. Se encontraron 43 etnoespecies de aves que pueden ser vinculadas con el espacio habitado por los mocovíes. La mayoría de ellas pudo ser identificada a nivel de especie. Se registraron nueve categorías de uso, siendo las principales el empleo como alimento, la función como anunciadoras, la cultura material y el intercambio. Se concluye que las aves ocuparon un lugar de gran importancia en la vida de los mocovíes. En especial, se destaca el papel del Ñandú (Rhea americana), que se encuentra vinculado a casi todos los ámbitos culturales analizados.
Ornito-sociocosmología qom o las aves en la vida de los tobas
Authors: Medrano Celeste
Published: April 2023

En este trabajo se analiza la etno-ornitología de los indígenas qom (tobas) del Gran Chaco argentino con el objetivo de iluminar ciertos aspectos del particular entramado de relaciones que los unen con las aves. Se realizó trabajo etnográfico de campo en comunidades de la provincia de Formosa, Argentina, combinado con la identificación de aves in situ y ex situ en colecciones de museos y con guías de aves. Los resultados se organizaron partiendo de considerar las continuidades que existen entre los humanos y las aves con el fin de discutir la forma en que las mismas se intersecan y definen un universo en el que el límite entre lo humano y lo animal se diluye. Posteriormente se examinó cómo estas continuidades modifican las prácticas indígenas, retomando un análisis clásico sobre los “usos de las aves”. Finalmente, se emplearon los resultados de estas observaciones para delinear lo que se denomina la ornito-sociocosmología qom. Este concepto, fundado en la noción indígena de fauna, conlleva impactos significativos en los potenciales proyectos de uso, manejo y conservación de aves.
Etno-ornitología maya tojolabal: orígenes, cantos y presagios de las aves
Authors: Guerrero Martínez Fernando
Published: April 2023

Las aves representan uno de los grupos faunísticos más relevantes en la cosmovisión maya, desde la época precolombina hasta el presente. Este trabajo tiene por objetivo analizar diversas concepciones mayas tojolabales sobre los mitos de creación de algunas aves, los conocimientos respecto de sus cantos y su vinculación con señales y presagios como una forma de adivinación y relación con el entorno. El trabajo de campo se desarrolló en el municipio de Las Margaritas, Chiapas, México. Se utilizaron métodos etnográficos y etnobiológicos que incluyeron observaciones participantes, entrevistas abiertas y semiestructuradas, así como caminatas etnobiológicas. Algunos mitos de origen de especies de aves están relacionados estrechamente con sus características biológicas, así como con las capacidades que se les adjudica culturalmente para anunciar sucesos específicos. Estas señales se dan en mayor medida a través de los diferentes tipos de cantos de las aves, lo cual es reconocido con precisión por los habitantes incluso a nivel lingüístico. Se encontraron términos específicos en la lengua tojol-ab’al para designar cantos particulares que se vinculan con presagios. Los conocimientos tojolabales respecto de las aves son complejos e imbrican diferentes temas de su cosmovisión, en la que la avifauna mantiene un lugar relevante.
Landscape features influencing nesting-site selection of Columba livia and Patagioenas maculosa in a South American desert city
Authors: Fernández-Maldonado Viviana N. , Gorla David E. , Borghi Carlos E.
Published: April 2023

Urban centers are dominated by species adapted to human presence. The intensityof human activity has a strong influence on habitat selection by animal populations across land-scapes. The objectives of this study were to assess the abundance and the spatial distribution ofthe nests of two species of pigeons (Columba livia and Patagioenas maculosa), and evaluate theeffects of human factors on the probability of nesting-site selection in different urban zones withina desert city. Nest abundance increased for Columba livia in city centers and for Patagioenas maculosain zones away from them, in green areas. The most important variables influencing the probabilityof nesting-site selection by Columba livia were distance to the main square, distance to food sourcesand the interaction between distance to food sources and distance to water, along with type andheight of buildings. For Patagioenas maculosa, the variables influencing the probability of nesting-site selection were distance to water, human population density, distance to food sources and theinteraction between human population density and distance to food sources, along with treeheight and diameter of tree canopy. This species selected Platanus×hispanica and Morus spp. as nesting sites. Nesting sites could be a limiting factor for these species, and our results haveimportant implications for choosing appropriate control strategies for the management of urban pigeons in desert environments.
Macro and micro-habitat selection by Vanellus chilensis (aves: charadriiformes) in southern Brazil
Authors: Delfino Henrique C. , Carlos Caio J.
Published: April 2023

The Southern Lapwing (Vanellus chilensis) is a typical bird from southern Brazil, but it is widely distributed across South America. It is well-recognized by its characteristic colors, imposing vocalization and aggressive behavior. The species inhabits grasslands, which can vary locally and regionally. The aim of this study is to evaluate how Southern Lapwings select their macro- and micro-habitats, which is necessary to better understand the species’ ecology, its relationship with the environment and the complex interaction between behavior and territory. This research intends to verify if there is any kind of selection for a specific environment and which factors influence the choice of feeding and breeding territories. Fieldwork was carried out at 40 ha in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, with 60 sampling points divided across six different vegetal formations. For macro-habitats, we analyzed data on availability and use of the area through the selection index, while for micro-habitat selection we constructed Generalized Linear Models (GLM) with the measures of environmental variables for each point. The selection index indicates that there is a strong preference for impacted grasslands, while lapwings seem to avoid forests and shrubland during both breeding and non-breeding seasons. The micro-habitat analysis indicates that the birds generally select areas with low vegetation height, and a certain degree of local human impact, but that the presence of farm animals is only preferred during the non-breeding season. This study shows...

Introduction: hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are one of the main causes of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide.
Objective: to determine the prevalence and associated factors to hypertensive disorders in pregnancy at risk ages, at Vicente Corral Moscoso Hospital in 2019.
Materials and methods: a cross-sectional analytical study was carried out. 249 medical records from “Intranet” system for hospitalization, selected by simple random sampling, were included. For data analysis, SPSS v.22 was used. The factor`s association was made with odds ratio with its confidence interval of 95 %; the hypothesis was accepted with a value of p < 0,05 of the Chi square.
Results: 17,7 % patients presented hypertensive disorders at risk reproductive age, of which 12,4 % had preeclampsia. The factors that showed a statistically significant relationship with hypertensive disorders were overweight-obesity (OR 2,1; 95% CI: 1,04-4,23, p: 0,03); chronic hypertension (OR: 20,4; 95% CI: 2,22-187,33; p > 0,001) and a history of hypertensive disorder in previous pregnancies (OR: 4,2; 95% CI: 1,23 -14,82; p = 0,001).
Conclusion: more than one eighth of patients with obstetric risk ages presented hypertensive disorders in pregnancy; preeclampsia was the most frequent. Overweight and obesity, history of hypertensive disorder prior to pregnancy and chronic hypertension were statistically significant factors
Agile Software Development in a Remotely Working Geographically Distributed Team: A Systematic Review
Authors:   Higher Education Institu-tion, KROK University, Kyiv, Ukraine, Bogolii Oleksandr
Published: April 2023

In recent years, the distribution of software development has gained widespread popularity. Among the obvious rea-sons are the wish of companies to save production costs and reduce the time to market. Besides this, the latest years COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the transition of many software development projects into a geographically distributed environment where most employees work remote-ly. Using Agile practices in such a setup brings a lot of new challenges. This paper presents a systematic literature re-view of the studies that discuss the use of Agile methods in globally distributed projects, particularly when team members work remotely or from home. Using our search criteria, we found 307 papers, of which 20 were relevant to our research. The results outlined in this review will help re-searchers and practitioners in understanding the challenges involved in using Agile methods by geographically distributed remotely working teams and figure out how to tackle these challenges to increase the efficiency of project management.

The Covid-19 global pandemic has had profound impact on the way all industries operate now, and the construction industry is no exception. Given the importance of this industry in providing critical infrastructure needed to enhance the quality of life of all global citizens, this paper presented the results of a systematic review of empirical studies that have investigated construction project performance over the Covid-19 era spanning from 2020 to 2023. The Systematic Quantitative Assessment Technique was used to identify and assess 54 empirical articles from six of the most renowned academic publishers in order to answer three important research questions: 1) What was the geographical spread of construction project performance articles from 2020-2023? 2) Which data collection methods were utilized by these articles? 3) What themes were investigated by these articles? The review revealed that Asia had the most representation while South America had no representation at all, thus representing a geographical gap which future studies should address. The review also revealed that most studies relied on surveys to collect project performance data with relatively fewer studies using qualitative methods or adopting a mixed methods approach, with this representing a methodological gap to be addressed by future studies. Finally, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the performance of construction firms was the most investigated theme, while the strategies firms can use to ‘future proof’ themselves against future pandemics or other unexpected disasters was the least investigated theme.

The modern world lives in a digital transformation. Many researchers consider this period to be a new technological paradigm or a digital economy. The widespread digitalisation of production and management processes not only affects the processes of global globalization, but also contributes to the rapid growth of the economy, enhancing living standards. While the global economy identifies some common characteristics of the development of the digital economy, there is no consistent methodological approach. The Russian Federation in the world scores to evaluate the development of the digital economy, in general, is in the group of developing countries. Therefore, at the state level, the digital transformation is recognized as a strategic priority for Russia's developers. Since 2014, the development strategy of Russia has been the National Technology Initiative (NTI), a long-term program to create new markets and lay the groundwork for Russia's technological leadership by 2035. Its first steps served as a foundation for the adoption of the national project “Digital Economy of the Russian Federation”. This study analyses the implementation of joint government and corporate efforts in this direction. It was revealed that the main NTI operators are both state institutions (state investment bank “Bank VEB”, “Innovation Promotion Fund”), and business partially government-owned communities – Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI), Russian Venture Company (RVC). Based on the analysis of NTI roadmaps and events, a model of institutions to support the digital economy in Russia has been built. The conclusion concerns the overall support of the State during the construction of an ecosystem of technological entrepreneurship. At the same time, there is a certain differentiation of the NTI infrastructure, tending towards large subjects of the Russian Federation with a high level of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) development - Moscow and St. Petersburg.

A sport management project refers to a venture or an initiative undertaken by a sports organization, team, or club to improve the overall performance and success of their operations. These projects can include a different range of activities, such as developing and implementing new strategies, launching new programs, creating a new fan engagement program to increase support and loyalty, and more. This study examines the influence of sport’s fan engagement on trust, satisfaction, and loyalty in sports club social networks. Our findings suggest that both fan identification with the sports club's brand and motivation play significant roles in determining the level of engagement. Specifically, we have found that consumers who have a strong identification with the club and are extrinsically motivated to engage with the club's social network exhibit higher levels of trust, satisfaction, and loyalty. These results underscore the importance of fostering a strong sense of identification and motivation among fans in order to promote positive consumer attitudes towards sports club social networks. The paper provides recommendations for sports club marketing managers on how to use social networks to improve project’s success.
Construction Project Crashing with Uncertain Correlated Normal and Crash Task Durations and Costs: An Integrated Stochastic Practical Approach
Authors:   Department of Economic and Regional Development, Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences, Athens, Greece, Kantianis Dimitrios
Published: April 2023

The research aims at developing an integrated mathematical spreadsheet modelling approach for the practical solution of the stochastic crashing problem in construction project planning. The proposed project crashing methodology is founded upon a synthesis of traditional PERT/CPM network scheduling, Monte Carlo simulation, and linear programming. The main contribution of the introduced model to the existing project management literature is that it produces frequency histograms and relevant statistics for optimum project crash make span and additional cost for project compression, by assuming uncertainty and correlation simultaneously for both normal and crash durations and direct expenses of project activities. The implementation of the model is automated in Microsoft Excel© through VBA coding. The research is anticipated to assist built environment academics and professionals to improve decision-making effectiveness in the planning of construction projects.

Mother Tongues, Mobile Phones, and the Soil on the Soles of One’s Shoes
Authors: Naas Michael ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2023

This essay takes as its point of departure Jacques Derrida’s analysis of the phantasm of a mother tongue in his recently published seminar from 1995–1996 on hospitality (Hospitalité I, Éditions du Seuil, 2021). The essay begins by showing that Derrida’s analysis of this phantasm is per­fectly consistent with several of his most important works of the 1960s (from Of Grammatology to Voice and Phenomenon) on the auto-affection of speech and the phantasm of self-presence to which it gives rise. But the essay then demonstrates how those earlier analyses of language and voice are supplemented in Hospitalité by important reflections on what were then very new teletechnologies—including the cell or mobile phone—that do not, as we might have thought, deflate the phantasm of self-presence and of a natural mother tongue but actually lend themselves to it. What these teletechnologies thus end up underscoring, according to Derrida, is the original exappropriation at the heart of all language, including the so-called mother tongue.
The Language of the Irreal
Authors: Polt Richard ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2023

“Irrealis” grammatical moods, such as the subjunctive, provoke linguistic, literary, and phenomenological questions. What is the ontological status of the domain revealed by irrealis moods? How does it solicit signification? Is it a mere illusion or a distraction from the real? I propose not only that our ventures into the irreal are indispensable ways of making sense of things, but that the irreal is necessary to the being of language and to our own being.
Aristotle and the Invention of Platonism
Authors: Hyland Drew A. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2023

The guiding suggestion of this article is intimated in the title: “Platonism,” that set of “philosophical positions” supposedly present in the Platonic dialogues (pre-eminently the “theory of forms,” but also “Plato’s metaphysics,” his “epistemology,” his “moral theory,” his “political theory” etc.) are not so much discovered in the dialogues as they are invented out of a very specific (mis) reading of those dialogues. And the first great “misreader” was Aristotle, who, I argue, first made possible the set of assumptions about philosophy and about philosophic writing that, in turn, made anything like “Platonism” possible.
Language Games and Philosophy
Authors: Hadot Pierre , Fleming Chris ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2023

In this article, Pierre Hadot examines the late philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein and the so-called “linguistic turn” in philosophy and the social sciences. Although certain interpreters of Wittgenstein have thought that Philosophical Investigations shows philosophy to be predicated on a series of confusions based on the misuse of language, Hadot argues contrarily that an understanding of Wittgenstein’s idea of “language games”—far from ending philosophy—allows us to see it anew and to discern the source of some of its deepest perplexities. Of particular concern is the notion of the ancient idea of philosophical discourse as intrinsically connected to various forms of apprenticeship or spiritual formation. It is in this context that the supposed inconsistencies and unusual repetitions of ancient philosophy can be understood. Only from the Middle Ages do philosophical language games begin slowly to become detached from certain kinds of training, of pedagogies connected to forms of life, and become texts—and “systems”—in the sense of being written for the purposes of merely conventional reading.
Celan and Hölderlin in Conversation
Authors: Bambach Charles ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2023

This essay offers a close reading of a poem written by Paul Celan in 1962: Ars Poetica 62. I choose this neglected text since it offers genu­ine insight into Celan’s torturous relationship with German culture in the early 1960s especially against the background of the German unwillingness to confront the horrors of the war and camps. Celan situates this poem not only against German silence and forgetfulness, but against the way it defines them in terms of literary history—especially as concerns the German-Jewish (non-)conversation about identity, belongingness, and integration. In terms of this tradition, Celan integrates two principal figures (Hölderlin & Kafka) to explore the contradictions, paradoxes, and caesurae of the recent German past. I also look at the role that Heidegger plays within the Rezeptionsgeschichte Hölderlins as it affects both Celan and the German philosophical tradition.
An Accountable Church?
Authors: Hayes-Mota Nicholas ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2023

Accountability is a quality often demanded of the church and its leaders today, and especially so within the Roman Catholic Church. But how should accountability itself be understood, and how might a more accountable church be achieved? This essay explores these questions from a new angle by offering a detailed ethical analysis of how accountability operates within broad-based community organizing (BBCO), a form of democratic politics with a highly developed theory and practice of accountability in which many churches already participate. In dialogue with BBCO, the essay develops a constructive framework for conceptualizing accountability. It makes a case for understanding accountability principally as a property of reciprocal relationships between persons, and stresses the need to proactively cultivate and sustain relationships of accountability through ongoing democratic practices of accountability. It also highlights the role played by moral authority, power, and virtue in these relationships and practices. The essay concludes by using this framework to propose a new interpretation of the Catholic Church’s accountability crisis. It suggests a more accountable church may only be achieved when the whole people of God begin organizing themselves to build it.
Authority on the Border of Work and Play
Authors: Edwards Jason ,   Department of Philosophy, Florida State University
Published: April 2023

The distinction between work and play is a defining feature of the modern world. But the border between them has been a site of major political contestation, giving rise to new forms of authority. I turn to the work of Michael Oakeshott to examine the distinction between work and play and how it relates to the idea of authority. I argue that reading Oakeshott on work, play, conduct, and authority can give us important insights into key questions of democratic theory at a time when socio-economic and technological changes are once again transforming the border of work and play.
A New Old Challenge to Theories of Personhood: The Curious Cases of Feral Children
Authors: Manninen Tuomas W. ,   Southwestern Philosophical Society
Published: April 2023

Although fantastical thought-experiments about personal identity abound, these seemingly cannot bring home the conviction one way or the other, when it comes to the nature of diachronic (or synchronic) personhood. Per Kathleen Wilkes, these thought-experiments suffer from being divorced from the necessary background conditions. In this paper, I aim to rectify this by developing an empirically-informed thought experiment (that fill in these blanks) focusing on feral children, or children who have grown up in near-complete isolation from all human interaction. After detailing the significance of these cases and discussing a present-day case, I move to construct the background for thought-experiments on these cases. As an upshot, I apply the experiment to a contemporary theory of personhood (namely, constitutionalism), analyze its shortcomings, and make recommendations for future improvements.
