El lenguaje como instrumento demiúrgico. Proclo: metafísica del lenguaje y teúrgia
Authors: Redondo Ornelas José Manuel
Published: April 2021

Este artículo presenta los principios básicos de la extraordinaria y compleja filosofía del lenguaje de Proclo; una comprensión holística, dadas sus vastas implicaciones (teológicas, metafísicas, éticas, epistemológicas, cosmológicas y psicológicas, así como hermenéuticas, estéticas y literarias). La visión acerca de Proclo es expresamente crítica con un reduccionismo al análisis lógico, desarrollando una metafísica del lenguaje cuyo objetivo es su uso ético y soteriológico, una copia del lógos paradigmático de los dioses: el lenguaje es un instrumento ritual demiúrgico, por medio del cual la realidad es creada, primariamente por los dioses, secundariamente por nosotros. La filosofía del lenguaje de Proclo es concretamente ilustrada por su concepción acerca de los himnos, así como por su propia composición de himnos.

Berkembangnya teknologi pada saat ini membuat semakin bertambahnya keinginan sebuah lembaga untuk dapat melakukan pengolahan data yang lebih cepat, tepat dan akurat serta berkualitas baik dalam proses pembuatan informasi maupun dalam penyajiannya dan distribusinya. Forum Komunikasi Pendidikan Al-Qur`an (FKPQ) yang berada di kecamatan Purwasari Kabupaten Karawang saat ini melakukan pengelolaan data madrasah di wilayah Kecamatan Purwasari Karawang, dan masih terdapat kendala dan kurang rapihnya dalam pengumpulan berkas administrasi data siswa, madrasah, maupun data pengajar. Hal ini dikarenakan, terlalu banyaknya penduplikasian berkas yang harus diisi oleh masing-masing madrasah. Banyaknya madrasah dan jauhnya tempat kesekretariatan, juga menjadi kendala dalam pengumpulan berkas dan bahkan melewati batas waktu pengumpulan yang ditentukan oleh Forum Komunikasi Pendidikan Al-Qur`an (FKPQ). Dengan demikian perlu adanya sistem informasi yang lebih baik agar dapat membantu dan memberikan  kemudahan dalam proses pengelolaan yang lebih cepat dan efisien tanpa adanya kendala penduplikasian­­ maupun keterlambatan dalam pengumpulan berkas. Salah satu solusinya adalah dengan membangun Sistem informasi berbasis web yang mampu mengatasi kendala jarak, waktu dan media penyimpanan data, serta dapat mengolah data dengan lebih cepat, efektif dan efisien.Metode yang digunakan pada pengembangan perangkat lunak ini adalh model Evolutionary Prototyping. Dengan adanya sistem informasi yang lebih baik diharapkan dapat mengatasi permasalahan dalam pengelolaan data serta dapat menghasilkan laporan-laporan yang diperlukan dengan baik, cepat dan akurat.

Colorblindness and Masculinity: "Lethal Weapon" and the Construction of a Postracial Reality
Authors: Olech Jakub
Published: April 2021

Hollywood buddy cop action films reached great popularity among American audiences of the 1980s. The genre offered something more than entertainment: it offered a vision of a country where race was no longer a meaningful concept – a vision of a post-racial society. In the wake of the biggest protests against racial injustice in decades, which in 2020 swept the United States and spread to parts of Europe, it is worth revisiting the genre which significantly contributed to the development of popular imagination about race. This article provides a closer look at a staple of the buddy cop genre, the 1987’s "Lethal Weapon". While ostensibly a progressive production, a deeper analysis shows the film to not only call upon traditionally racist portrayals of black people, but to justify a color blind approach to policing. Thus, the article shows how Hollywood worked to disavow the racialized reality of the 1980s. This disavowal is very much a current in society today.
„Obcy we własnym kraju”. Afroniemcy i Afroniemki a pozjednoczeniowe konflikty pamięci w świetle projektu Namibia Today Laury Horelli oraz prac Mwangi Hutter
Authors: Balisz-Schmelz Justyna
Published: April 2021

Artykuł jest próbą syntetycznego nakreślenia sytuacji czarnych Niemców i Niemek po 1989 roku w kontekście pozjednoczeniowych konfliktów pamięci. W kontrze do względnie konsensualnej polityki pamięci drugiej wojny światowej i Zagłady, mającej scalać podzielone przez 40 lat niemieckie społeczeństwo, omawiane w artykule prace Laury Horelli oraz Mwangi Hutter, unaoczniają istnienie rywalizujących ze sobą dyskursów, których stawką jest dookreślenie tożsamości współczesnych Niemiec. Zakłócają tym samym przeforsowywaną w licznych pozjednoczeniowych publikacjach i wystawach traktujących o specyfice niemieckości i niemieckiej sztuki, spójną narrację, stanowiąc apel o poszerzenie symbolicznych granic niemieckości.
Aszanci w Warszawie. Wyobrażenia „czarności” w społeczeństwie polskim przełomu XIX i XX wieku – przyczynek do polskiej historii kolonialnej
Authors: Łuksza Agata
Published: April 2021

Komedia Włodzimierza Perzyńskiego "Aszantka" stanowi dla autorki znaczącą resztkę „czarności” w historii polskiego teatru, dlatego traktuje ją jako punkt wyjścia do szerszej refleksji nad uwikłaniem polskiego społeczeństwa w europejski projekt kolonialny, związane z nim idee, wartości i praktyki kulturowe. W artykule próbuje zatem zrekonstruować możliwe wyobrażenia „czarności” mieszkańców Warszawy końca XIX wieku na przykładzie recepcji występów domniemanych przedstawicieli ludu Aszanti w cyrku na Okólniku w 1888 roku, od których zaczęła się popularność tego typu widowisk – nazywanych pokazami etnograficznymi lub ludzkimi zoo – w stolicy skolonizowanego Królestwa Polskiego. Autorka wskazuje na „dzikość” i „nagość” jako konstytutywne cechy „czarności”, którą rozumie jako określoną kondycję ludzką, podzielaną przez zamorskie społeczności skolonizowane i grupy podporządkowane – do których należała Władka/Aszantka Perzyńskiego – w społeczeństwach europejskich.

At present, the issues of tax administration are acquiring special significance. In conditions of a shortage of financial resources, the fulfillment of its purely fiscal function of taxes is reaching a new level. Forms and methods of tax administration are changing in the era of informatization and digitalization. The transition to modern digital systems is designed to minimize government spending, increase the efficiency of the implementation of the tasks set and make the transition to electronic interaction of citizens with the state in the tax process. All this determines the relevance of this scientific article.

Let Ψ(G) be the family of all local maximum stable sets of graph G, i.e., S ∈ Ψ(G) if S is a maximum stable set of the subgraph induced by S ∪ N(S), where N(S) is the neighborhood of S. It was shown that Ψ(G) is a greedoid for every forest G [15]. The cases of bipartite graphs, triangle-free graphs, and well-covered graphs, were analyzed in [16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 24]. If G1, G2 are two disjoint graphs, and B is a bipartite graph having E(B) as an edge set and bipartition {V (G1), V (G2)}, then by B-join of G1, G2 we mean the graph B (G1, G2) whose vertex set is V (G1) ∪ V (G2) and edge set is E(G1) ∪ E(G2) ∪ E (B). In this paper we present several necessary and sufficient conditions for Ψ(B (G1, G2)) to form a greedoid, an antimatroid, and a matroid, in terms of Ψ(G1), Ψ(G2) and E (B).

Our method uses an iterative Kaczmarz-type solver to approximate the minimal norm least squares solution of the problems involved in each iteration of Han’s algorithm. We prove some convergence properties for the sequence of approximations generated in this way and present numerical experiments and comparisons with Han’s and other direct solver based methods for inconsistent linear inequalities.
On some invariant geometric properties in Hele-Shaw flows with small surface tension

Published: April 2021

In this paper, by applying methods from complex analysis, we analyse the time evolution of the free boundary of a viscous fluid for planar flows in Hele-Shaw cells under injection in the non-zero surface tension case. We study the invariance in time of α-convexity (for α ∈ [0, 1] this is a geometric property which provides a continuous passage from starlikeness to convexity) for bounded domains. In this case we show that the α-convexity property of the moving boundary in a Hele-Shaw flow problem with small surface tension is preserved in time for α ≤ 0. For unbounded domains (with bounded complement) we prove the invariance in time of convexity.

The Good Soldier

Until the End of Time: Mind, Matter, and Our Search for Meaning in an Evolving Universe is Brian Greene’s latest book. It is an account of how the universe began and how it might end. Things began with a bang and they will end in a whimper. But whether Greene is dealing with free will, consciousness, or what is fundamental in the universe, David Berlinski finds him to be gabbling and inexact.

Exponential Growth
Authors: Glashow Sheldon Lee
Published: April 2021

Exponential growth features frequently in epidemiological projections. Because of carelessness or ignorance, its implications can be easily, and sometimes grievously, underestimated. Sheldon Lee Glashow provides a brief refresher, along with a dramatic demonstration of the power of exponential growth as found in the legend of the chessboard, described in 1256 CE by the Kurdish historian Ibn Khallikān.

Muertos, infectados y poseídos: el zombi en el cine español contemporáneo
Authors: Sánchez Trigos Rubén
Published: April 2021

El zombi experimenta un reciente auge en la cultura popular española contemporánea en forma de literatura, cómic o cine. El artículo analiza los últimos títulos del subgénero en esta cinematografía a través de su compleja relación tanto con el cine de zombis extranjero como con la propia tradición del personaje en el cine español del pasado. Lo que esta doble línea de lectura parece revelar es la existencia de un vínculo temático consistente entre el zombi español de los años sesenta-setenta y el zombi español de hoy: vínculo que se focaliza, fundamentalmente, en el papel que la religión cumple en el subgénero. Así, películas del tardofranquismo como la tetralogía de los caballeros templarios de Amando de Ossorio comparten con la serie Rec la representación del objeto religioso como una influencia numinosa que "crea" y controla a los zombis. La distancia irónica que la serie de Jaume Balagueró y Paco Plaza mantiene con este mismo objeto es significativa, sin embargo, de la evolución que el arquetipo del zombi ha experimentado en la cinematografía española; evolución que ha cristalizado en la siguiente paradoja: siendo Rec el producto zombi español que más rotundamente asimila las innovaciones del personaje en el siglo XXI, es, a la vez, el más internacional y el más local.
Resistencia y canonización en el microrrelato: de la teoría y crítica a las antologías especializadas
Authors: Núñez Sabarís Xaquín
Published: April 2021

El primer decenio del presente siglo ha asistido a la consolidación del microrrelato como producto literario, representando un importante fenómeno editorial y suscitando una significativa atención crítica y teórica. Este artículo pretende, en consecuencia, a) profundizar en los factores (históricos) que explican este interés por la estética hiperbreve, b) efectuar un repaso por los estudios críticos y teóricos que de manera específica se han ocupado de la definición y explicación del microrrelato, y c) describir las antologías dedicadas al tema. Con ello se procura analizar el estado de la cuestión, en relación a la producción literaria existente, los avances críticos y la discusión teórica en torno a su estatuto en el sistema literario español.
"El policía de las ratas" a escena
Authors: Prieto Nadal Ana
Published: April 2021

En este artículo nos proponemos abordar el estudio y análisis del espectáculo El policía de las ratas, dramatización del relato homónimo de Roberto Bolaño dirigida por Àlex Rigola. Hemos empezado ubicando el relato dentro de la narrativa de Bolaño, y poniéndolo en relación con el cuento de Franz Kafka que está en su génesis. Tras haber expuesto los conceptos de arte y libertad que se esgrimen en el relato, en franco conflicto con la idea de colectividad, pasamos a abordar algunos aspectos de la adaptación teatral y de la puesta en escena de Rigola.
Figuración y realidad del escritor latinoamericano en la era global
Authors: González Aníbal
Published: April 2021

Este ensayo explora la evolución de la figura del autor latinoamericano como "personaje" dentro de su ficción y como persona real, involucrada en los asuntos de su tiempo y afectada por ellos. Comienza su recorrido en el período del boom, cuando las novelas dominantes alardeaban de una escritura impersonal a la vez que los novelistas mismos eran exaltados como héroes culturales, y termina con la narrativa de principios del siglo XXI, cuando a través de la "autoficción" los narradores se inscriben más profundamente dentro de sus ficciones. La conversión del autor en "personaje de sí mismo", estimulada por Internet, los blogs y las redes sociales, borra las fronteras entre ficción y autobiografía y torna al autor en una figura que, aunque es omnipresente en su ficción, se proyecta con humildad autocrítica, aceptando una nueva realidad que lo obliga a convivir con sus conciudadanos (y lectores) en un plano de igualdad cotidiana.
Docudrama y autoficción en el teatro argentino de la posdictadura
Authors: Tossi Mauricio
Published: April 2021

En el contexto de la posdictadura, el teatro argentino ha dado respuestas estéticas a diversos interrogantes culturales; por ejemplo, ha indagado de manera poética sobre los referentes históricos y autobiográficos, con el fin de hallar determinados mecanismos de representación de la memoria social. Por consiguiente, en este artículo nos proponemos estudiar los cambios registrados en el tratamiento de los “referentes” antes mencionados, esto último, al describir y analizar tres formas poéticas de la dramaturgia argentina contemporánea, a saber: primero, el docudrama o teatro documental canónico y su permanencia en los campos intelectuales regionales; segundo, el docudrama que amplía los grados de poíesis de los referentes utilizados; tercero, las tendencias autoficcionales en la escena local y su correlativa función socio-política.
Juegos autoficcionales en la obra de Manuel Vilas
Authors: Gómez Sonia
Published: April 2021

La obra de Manuel Vilas, ejemplo contemporáneo de una narrativa viva y creativa, presenta un verdadero laboratorio para estudiar la autoficción literaria. Una miríada de ejemplos autoficcionales sellan innegablemente su narrativa. La filosofía humorística de Vilas utiliza la autoficción como base para el juego literario. Basándonos en las diferentes teorías recopiladas por Ana Casas en La autoficción. Reflexiones teóricas (2012), destacaremos algunos casos concretos sacados de los textos narrativos vilasianos (España, Magia, Aire Nuestro, Los Inmortales y El luminoso regalo). A partir de estos, intentaremos destacar los efectos narrativos surgidos de la autoficción sobre los dos planos principales, es decir el pacto de ficción y el pacto de lectura establecidos con el lector. Finalmente, abriremos una posible clave de lectura (literatura egódica, Vicente Luis Mora) en la narrativa de Vilas, y así adentrarse en su idiosincrasia (pacto lírico según A. Rodríguez). Comprender el apego por este rasgo estilístico es apreciar plenamente la obra del autor aragonés.
Revelaciones y desconocimiento del “yo” en "El mundo" de Juan José Millás
Authors: Contadini Luigi
Published: April 2021

En este ensayo se propone un análisis de la novela El mundo (2007)de Juan José Millás en la que el autor pone en escena a sí mismo a través de un recorrido autoficcional y en el cual se revelan las motivaciones profundas que constituyen el origen de sus obras más importantes. El ensayo toma en consideración especialmente aquellas partes en que se representan zonas de frontera en las cuales el sentido de la experiencia se problematiza gracias a la sensibilidad visionaria del protagonista y se esfuman los límites entre apariencia y realidad y las definiciones de los géneros literarios.Además, el relato parcial y fragmentado de la vida del joven Juanjo activa procedimientos metadiscursivos y autotextuales. Cada episodio significativo es al mismo tiempo una revelación literaria que, sin embargo, crea un paradójico efecto de desconocimiento entre el mismo protagonista y el autor narrador que rechaza toda definición y en el final hasta renuncia a su propio nombre.

Wer ist wofür zuständig?
Authors: Janiec Carsten
Published: April 2021

Brandschutzmaßnahmen können nicht für sich allein betrachtet werden, sondern sie sind gewerkeübergreifend zu planen und zu realisieren. In der Praxis scheitert dies häufig am fehlenenden Verständnis für die Aufgabe der einzelnen Beteiligten und die Schnittstellen zwischen den Bereichen. Dies führt dann leicht zu einer unvollständigen, technisch nicht umsetzbaren oder sogar wirtschaftlich beziehungsweise funktional nicht optimalen Planung.
Sarcoma sinovial de cabeza y cuello: patología infrecuente, un reto terapéutico
Authors: Álvarez Alex , Vallejo Díaz Alexandra , González Álvarez Iván , Esguerra José Alejandro
Published: April 2021

Objetivo. Los sarcomas sinoviales son tumores de origen mesenquimal que pueden localizarse en cualquier parte del cuerpo. Los sarcomas a nivel de cabeza y cuello son raros, ya que representan aproximadamente el 1 % de todas las neoplasias malignas en esta localización. La ubicación de esta patología representa un reto terapéutico, tanto para el manejo quirúrgico como para la radioterapia, dada la morbilidad y el riesgo de lesión de las estructuras adyacentes al tumor. Nuestra serie de casos tiene como propósito compartir la experiencia de cuatro pacientes tratados con radioterapia en el Instituto Nacional de Cancerología, haciendo una correlación de la presentación clínica, imaginológica e histopatológica y la respuesta al tratamiento. Metodos. Serie de 4 casos con diagnóstico de sarcoma sinovial de cabeza y cuello, tratados con (SE) radioterapia y basados en los desenlaces clínicos reportados en las historias clínicas. Resultados. Los pacientes tenían entre 21 a 48 años (media de 38 años), con predominio del sexo masculino. Dos de los pacientes tuvieron afectación en la hipofaringe. Tres pacientes tuvieron una supervivencia libre de recaída entre 4 – 6 años. Uno de los pacientes falleció por progresión de la enfermedad durante el primer año de seguimiento. Conclusiónes. Consideramos que la serie que presentamos apoya el tratamiento con radioterapia en los sarcomas sinoviales de cabeza y cuello, consiguiendo control local con seguimientos de hasta 6 años, y sigue siendo una opción para un correcto tratamiento curativo. Disminuyendo la probabilidad de recidiva local y con un buen perfil de toxicidad.
