THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL COMPLEXITY OF DIGITAL COMMUNICATION AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND HOW TO DEAL WITH IT: A DIALOGUE BETWEEN YUVAL NOAH HARARI, BYUNG-CHUL HAN AND PAOLO BENANTI

2023-05-02T19:52:20+00:00

The relationship between artificial intelligence and the world of digital communication raise numerous complex problems of a philosophical and even theological nature. The multidisciplinary dialogue between the perspectives of thought of referential authors such as Harari, Han and Benanti can help to map the scenario that these disciplines pose in our society. This article seeks, beyond immediate formulas, to extract guidelines for joint thinking and action within the framework of a dialogic ethic of a complex and transversal nature. The lack of a gender perspective in the authors analyzed is considered a fundamental handicap that must be compensated with other complementary developments.

NORMATIVE CRITICISM AND COMPLEXITY IN GENDER PERSPECTIVE: A READING FROM THE PERFORMATIVITY AND POLITICAL AGENCY OF THE BODY IN JUDITH BUTLER

2023-05-02T19:52:23+00:00

The main intellectual concern of Judith Butler, expressed in different ways throughout her work, is related to the subjects that remain outside the margins of the majority norm. Therefore, she tries to understand how the recognition frameworks that determine the subject's identity and the exclusion work. These frameworks can only be understood from a systemic perspective. In this context, the body, as a performative and not a static reality, becomes the axis on which she articulates her proposal. This study will allow us to outline the bases for a philosophy of the body. The body will be considered as vulnerable and precarious, suffering from the action of power and exclusion. At the same time, we will assume that the body also has a capacity for political resistance. In this way, we will be provided with a philosophical toolbox that allows us to undertake the critique of other normative-exclusive areas with a systemic approach.

INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH IN THE UNIVERSITY: CONTRIBUTIONS OF COMPLEX THOUGHT AND THE GENDER PERSPECTIVE

2023-05-02T19:52:26+00:00

The university is facing an exciting challenge: achieving interdisciplinary thinking to address the complex problems of global society. Complex thought, which rescues the articulation of sciences and humanities, is a key epistemic framework for developing new models of thought and university education. The gender perspective connects with the complex thinking at various levels that would need to be explored to provide a cross-cutting tool of an ethical nature that can influence the necessary interdisciplinarity of the new university offer.

READING OF “INTERSECTIONALITY” FROM “COMPLEXITY”: DIALOGUE OF THE GENDER PERSPECTIVE WITH COMPLEX THOUGHT

2023-05-02T19:52:28+00:00

This paper shows the complementarity between the epistemology of complexity and the gender perspective. The complexity paradigm is one of the most appropriate epistemic frameworks for the analysis of societies and cultures, expanding and going beyond the classic reductionist paradigm of science. The complexity allows the application of non-linear methodological schemes, adjusting better to the dynamic framework in which human relations operate and, within them, discrimination based on gender. Therefore, in this study, we review how this paradigm connects with the category of intersectionality, central to the methodological approach to the gender perspective.
