Item type:Publication, La inquietud del yo ilustrado. El alcance de la acción humana en Spinoza(Universidad Panamericana. Facultad de Filosofía, 2023)Charpenel, EduardoMi objetivo en este artículo es examinar algunas de las facetas distintivas de la acción humana en la filosofía de Spinoza y mostrar su interconexión intrínseca. A través de un análisis minucioso de cómo Spinoza aborda distintos aspectos de la acción humana en su obra principal, la Ética, es posible advertir que, para él, la libre agencia humana implica dos rasgos interrelacionados: por un lado, el conocimiento adecuado de las causas que la determinan y, por otro, una creciente capacidad para incidir con mayor potencia en los escenarios en los que tiene lugar. Así, frente a las lecturas quietistas y pasivas, muestro a continuación que las dos características mencionadas forman parte de la concepción filosófica espinozista de la agencia como tal. Si se recorre esta línea de pensamiento, también es posible establecer un vínculo —no siempre advertido en la literatura secundaria— con algunas de las ideas centrales contenidas en el Tratado teológico-político. Al discutir estas tesis, presento la idea de que la concepción espinozista de la agencia humana implica un reajuste importante de la visión metafísica del agente, un cambio en su conducta y en sus prácticas éticas, y una concepción totalmente distinta de la política y la religión.5 35 - 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, 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
