El Humanista Digital

La era digital ha transformado de manera profunda el sentido y la proyección de las humanidades.  Pero no en el sentido catastrofista que algunos temen.  Para Stanley Fish, el trabajo de académico de las humanidades empleado por una universidad para enseñar textos históricos, literarios o filosóficos, ya no tiene justificación, ni interna, ni externa.

Para una teoría de la realidad virtual en Calderón

¿Por qué es importante pensar la obra de Calderón de la Barca a partir de un concepto aparentemente tan alejado del siglo xvii como el de la realidad virtual? Por tres razones: la realidad virtual no está tan distante del siglo xvii como pudiera parecer a primera vista.

The Potosí Principle: Religious Prosociality Fosters Self-Organization of Larger Communities under Extreme Natural and Economic Conditions

Our analysis shows that the population of Potosí develops over time a series of cycles of rituals and miracles as a response to social upheaval and natural disasters and that these cycles of religious performance become crucial mechanisms...
