Item type:Publication, La inquietud del yo ilustrado. El alcance de la acción humana en SpinozaMy aim in this paper is to examine some of the distinctive facets of human action in Spinoza’s philosophy and show their intrinsic connection with each other. By analyzing in detail how Spinoza addresses different aspects of human action in his main work, the Ethics, it is possible to notice that for him free human agency implies two interrelated features: on the one hand, the adequate knowledge of the causes that determine it, and, on the other hand, a growing capacity to impact with greater power the scenarios in which it takes place. Thus, in contrast with quietist and passive readings, I show in the following that the two aforementioned characteristics are part of the Spinozian philosophical conception of agency as such. By pursuing this line of thought, it is also possible to establish a link—not always noticed in the secondary literature—with some of the central lines of thought contained in the Theological-Political Treatise. In discussing these theses, I advance the idea that the Spinozian conception of human agency involves a serious readjustment of the metaphysical vision of the agent, a change in her conduct and ethical practices, and an altogether different conception of politics and religion.33 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, El político como terapeuta del carácter. Un ensayo aristotélico(2022)For Plato and Aristotle, ethics is a kind of knowledge that is intrinsically practical. Just as the physician worries about taking care of the sick, the professor of ethics worries about teaching virtue. But, unlike medicine, ethics is a knowledge that involves community. The politician, according to Plato and Aristotle, must care about how virtue is taught to citizens. © 2022 Centro de Investigacion Social Avanzada.

Item type:Publication, Al-Fārābī y la relación entre política y religión a la luz de su comentario a Las Leyes de Platón(2016)The analysis of the ideas that al-Fārābī inherited from Plato’s Laws has remained mostly unattended, albeit it would contribute to a better understanding of a problem that has been a topic of discussion between those who follow Leo Strauss’s interpretation and their critics: the tension between religion and politics both in Plato’s Laws and in al-Fārābī’s political philosophy. In this article, I argue that a comprehensive interpretation of al-Fārābī’s political philosophy helps to clarify the aforementioned tension, polemically interpreted by Strauss as an antinomy.27 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Eleuthería en Aristóteles(2018)The concept of eleutheria has both political and cultural connotations for the ancient Greeks. It refers to the free condition of Greek citizens as opposed to the barbarian peoples who prefer tyrannical government. Plato and Aristotle also refer to eleutheria in a moral sense, that is, as the free condition of the virtuous man. But Aristotle refers to a virtue in particular: liberality. Liberality implies the prudent use of wealth, that is, the right mean between avarice and prodigality. The exercise of this virtue has repercussions in the political sphere. Firstly, because citizenship presupposes moral virtue in itself. Secondly, because the stability of the polis lies in the core of liberality: unbridled avarice or ambition put the stability of the polis at risk. Consequently, eleutheria has a unitary sense, which goes from the private to the political sphere. ©Co-herencia51 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Transitioning from Descriptive to Substantive Representation: a Study of the Mexican Congress(2020)The increasing number of women in the Mexican Congress could lead us to expect that women's interests are being better represented. However, there is no sufficient recent evidence on a correlation between a more robust descriptive representation and women's substantive representation in Mexico. Has the increase in the number of women led to greater focus on women's issues? Are the contents of bills sponsored in fact representing women? The objective of this paper is to address the links between women's increasing descriptive representation and the substantive representation of this group. To this end, a sample of legislative bills of the Mexican Chamber of Deputies, authored between 2015 and 2019, are assessed. Evidence points towards a change in the legislative work, embracing women's issues, as more women are elected. Issues raised include those related to gender violence, including various forms of classification of crimes. They also highlight the reforms that push parity in the composition of various governing bodies, including the Supreme Court of Justice. Legislation is pushing to close the gender pay gap, and to mandate government institutions to include a gender perspective in all of their processes. But even if the substantive representation of some types of women has improved, major breakthroughs through legislation are seldom achieved due to conservative conceptualizations of women's roles. © 2020 Institute of Political Studies.

Item type:Publication, Presidential Elections in Mexico: Media Coverage of the Josefina Vazquez Mota Campaign(2020-07-07)In 2012, the incumbent party nominated the first woman with a real chance of being elected president in Mexico. This was an historic moment, later described as a “haughtily hen” looking for a chance to win. The present study analyzed whether media coverage—by paying more attention to the candidate’s family and appearance, rather than policy issues—created opportunities for sexism and gendered stereotyping. The findings of this analysis were mixed. Male candidates received more media coverage, as the number of stories and headlines that covered them was higher. In contrast, coverage of the female candidate focused on stories about her polling position, highlighting her struggle to reach second place and the low probability of being elected. Nevertheless, coverage of personal traits was minimal. Moreover, only the female candidate (in her appeal to the electorate) made specific references to her sex. © 2020, © 2020 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.Scopus© Citations 5 19 2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Media coverage of campaigns : a multilevel study of mexican women running for office(2020)Previous studies on the United States and Latin America have demonstrated unequal media coverage of men and women during electoral campaigns. However, in Mexico, a country where women increasingly participate in politics, this has seldom been studied. This is worrisome when considering that, with gender stereotyping, the media can create new barriers for female candidates, affecting voters’ perceptions of women’s expertise and policy proposals. Through a comparative analysis, this research explores the role of the media when covering women running for office. It specifically studies coverage of executive-branch campaigns at the three levels of government. This is an important contribution to the literature as there are few studies of the Mexican context; specifically, this research examines the visibility, focus, traits, and issues covered in written media in order to explore, as well expand knowledge of, media biases and Mexican politics. Findings suggest that women running for positions with more power received different appraisal in printed media. Furthermore, male candidates received more coverage with the number of stories and headlines explicitly covering them higher than female candidates. This was most evident in municipal elections. At the same time, coverage of both female and male candidates shied away from personal traits or family matters. The media’s attention was on ‘male’ issues, where women were less competitive than men. Albeit with marginal differences, coverage of municipal elections was positive for women (where they won), compared with that of the across-the-board losses for female candidates running for governor. © 2020 Communication & Society.Scopus© Citations 8 7 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Media coverage of women in politics: Mexican local politicians on campaign(2020-03-12)Press coverage of women was expected to increase with their greater political representation in Mexico. What characterises the coverage that print media has given to men and women running for office? Are there any differences in the coverage men and women received? Is the quality of this coverage better than the quantity? The media coverage of candidates running in Mexican local elections is analysed in this exploratory study in order to answer these questions. Attention is first given to visibility, as in the quantity of coverage received. Second, the type of coverage of men compared to women is studied. Third, the paper looks into the ways in which printed media covers stories about women and the issues highlighted in the stories. The findings were mixed. In general, female and male candidates are equally visible. Newspaper coverage does not vary in tone, however, male candidates focus only on ‘female’ issues when more women stand for election. © 2020, © 2020 Journal of International Communication.Scopus© Citations 4 39 2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, La música en Aristóteles(2019-06-12)Aristotle claims that music is essential for the citizen's education. Music, it seems, causes or moderates passions. Therefore, character's education through music is fundamental to the pólis, since political stability depends on the citizen's moral stability. Secondly: if, for what is said in Poetics, music is an imitation, then it is through music that we obtain certain knowledge. But what is the object of music's imitation? In Politics, Aristotle claims that music imitates passions, because music, for its acoustical origin, does not need any sign to refer passions. However, music is itself a passion. Then music is direct, as an imitation, that it is indeed way more important for the character's education. That is its political relevance. This conclusion, on the other hand, leads us to claim that Aristotle does not hold a figurative concept of art. © 2019 Centro de Investigacion Social Avanzada.

Item type:Publication, La justicia como imparcialidad, progreso y perfección(2020)Otero Angelini, Diego AlejandroIn this article I analyze the justification of rawlsian anti-perfectionism, present in both A Theory of Justice and Political Liberalism. My aim is to show how justice as fairness, Rawls's conception of justice, lacks stability because of it. As an alternative to his anti-perfectionism, I propose, in the second part, the idea of progress as practical perfectionism by John Dewey. I argue that a perfectionist liberalism of this kind does not undermine reasonable pluralism as Rawls argued. Also I argue that it is indispensable to establish a liberal society that is stable. In the end, I briefly show how the private sphere could be affected once the idea of progress is part of a conception of liberal justice. © 2020 University of Valparaiso. All rights reserved.16 2
