a pragmatic interpretation of the conflict in Social

For those interested we think the key conflict in democratic decision-making week in the faculty of Social and peculiar mode of resolution, we made a great learning. For those who think from a philosophical pragmatist register and let us accompany the figure of John Dewey as a sideman, episodes of these days we become somewhat obscure, vague, almost elusive.

not from political science, nor from sociology, let less political philosophy should dull the capacity building of the conflict. The pragmatic attitude proposes closer ties between this conflict and emotion that gives life and existence. Once we do not give conservatism ignore the conflict and not want to admit a nostalgic treat, opens a possible dimension to link the conflict with emotion. Readers know that is not easy to encrypt a kind of pragmatist theory of conflict. We can even agree that it is not necessary, but the truth is that the problem exists and turns on us demanding that we take part in the conversation. Try to work this point while maintaining a pragmatic attitude. I will recovering the discussion about the antagonisms that Dewey held an evening with Jane Addams at Hull House, this magnificent public space intervention Addams founded in Chicago with Ellen Gates Starr. In that discussion, seemingly abstract, lies across a chance to re-enroll the conflict in a different register. Dewey, Hegel still modern and at the same time, argued against Christianity Addams condition, but irreducible, the less vigorous of conflicts between institutional forms. Addams, however, believed that these antagonisms were unreal, that showed "just the injection of attitudes and reactions" delaying the understanding of the meaning of action and human behavior. The impact of this conversation in the philosophical interpretation of Dewey was intense. Led him, after a night of rushing thoughts to himself, to understand the sayings of Addams, a reformulation of the dialectic by which the unit should no longer be seen as the reconciliation of opposites, but that would be useful to perceive opposites as the unity in its growth. This has inevitably lead pragmatists practices if it is understood that the interests that are necessary to save, always mutual interests and not private individuals, even in the posing of a conflict, however strong it was. And this leads to a radicalization liberal dimension of democracy, yet, in strict philosophical terms, allows us to escape from the metaphorical reference to the existence of an "up" and "down", so common in the lexicon of political orthodoxy. A more radical consequence is the possibility of exploring the denial, thanks to this unity of opposites, the discursive supremacy between reformers and reformed, that is, between the political entities that are participants in a reform process. Borges, curiously or not, and no apparent political involvement, holding a status similar criticism against the dialectic, valuing the poetic form. This denial of the dialectic, with the presence of Dewey and Borges, serve my purpose to think of conflict as a consecration of the plurality and imagine claim a new lexicon, always cooperative, which may well be that of a political poetry recursive zigzag rich and full of extravagance.

When we look at Social making from this perspective we are close to nothing, a conflict that escalated without considering the interests of anyone but those who provoked and a violent resolution, irrational and excessive, which, however, was crowned with an undoubted success. Those who carried out a conflict of this type achieved everything they wanted, from highest to lowest and most absurdly banal as the possibility of parties in a building that reported by the precariousness and danger of their facilities. On the other hand, the logic of the authorities really inexplicable, that authority was never, that was politically ineffective and finished granting all after seven weeks of taking, as if he had done the second day, everything was different. The only concern of the authorities was, at all times, not be run by left and they were and over, as a aesthetics revenge, the dean and his assistants in the management showed ending the conflict in the street, as a kind of reconquest public class faculty.

In this conflict, unfortunately, no new players emerge, it generated a different democratic framework, no progress was made in the discussion about the academic quality and we all filled with anxiety. The hope is never empty, go for this interpretation to begin filling the air of arguments.

And who cares if social go?

From the good number of concerns generated by the vision of the conflict that is manifested in the capture of the Faculty of Social Sciences, UBA, one upon another, my attention and I am alarmed.

Entered in the seventh week of taking no relevant actor, or the intellectual, or the journalist or the politician (and there are three specific individuals associated with the faculty) has decided to give visibility to the conflict and to trouble, from the recognition that something important in a college social devoted to what he does.

De ponernos a pensar en la desaparición de Sociales, llegaríamos a la conclusión de que a pocos, demasiado pocos, les importa ese destino. Pensemos un instante porqué esto es así.

Resulta claro que a los que están llevando adelante la toma lo animan espíritus de cualquier naturaleza menos la del conocimiento. Sea el de la revolución, el de la gastronomía (curiosa y repetida muletilla) o el del espíritu santo, el conocimiento en las ciencias sociales no figura dentro del millón de prioridades de los “tomistas”. Mientras Meanwhile, authorities of the faculty took five weeks to realize that something had to do and their first reaction was to write (in some way have to call it) a statement that all that mattered was clearly not run by left .

social power in the long time that there are issues to discuss - and I mean the unique building, and maybe some of them are related to the limited power of attraction that outside the "social universe", is our current state of affairs. Long ago, can begin to be measured in decades, the faculty has taken a dangerous road. On the one hand have been prioritized logic of political aggregation over academics and intellectuals and the other has not reflected enough on the role of social science on the difficult path of building a democratic society. No offense meant, I could never do, the political character of our university, nothing good can happen if we lose sight of the object that enables us to deliver that answer political dimension, in fact, another record. This scheme led by its consequences, in the expulsion of many of the best young teachers and the impoverishment of the academic offerings, both in compulsory and optional. By not think what would happen to surrender so easily to the logic of permanent accreditation no longer think for itself about the problem posed by the tension between massive and generous faculty insists on being thought by others while screams from an autonomous vacuum and simplistic. In the same vein, the lack of thought about the excesses surrounding the professionalization on the one hand and awards are not meritocratic logic on the other, have come to build a mud of difficulties in the form of parallel chairs, ghostly electives that respond to personal tone compensation, friendly or foreign political and asymmetries within professorships.

However, this is not the worst, most painful of all this process is the emotional desresponsabilización that promotes, directly or indirectly, for a long time and the final formulation is a lack of love for knowledge, reading and intellectual work. Reaching here, the question arises, is it so hard to imagine why the invisibility of our problems? When the place where the thoughts arise hypothetically should propose solutions and not for power but for a country, not the least being discussed, you can not ask the rest we pay attention. When the same institution should take care, destroy it, is not unusual morning spent or transferred, the lack of social power to pass entirely unnoticed.

We, the contemporary center of the constellation of Alfonsin

One of the dialogues in the delightful volume entitled The world keeps beat with Alain Finkielkraut, the philosopher Peter Sloterdijk encouraged, with his usual caustic, a reflection on the contemporary that can be used among us to think about the idea of \u200b\u200bthe center.

Sloterdijk presents simply the condition of contemporaneity is built when you share a negative learning. Beyond a primary agreement, and not be tempted to assume that the proposition flagellant, I propose to think the center-provided or rather its practical formalization avoiding aside candor and other frivolity.

does not, clearly, a look at the situation on the obvious and ominous miserable typical list of closures or a pre-electoral process. Rather the contrary, I must establish a more amplified account of what has been done or not from the Argentine political experiences are conceptual Enroll self under the control of the center in their diverse expressions semantics.

An initial assessment includes a regional dimension, it is clear that in looking comparatively development center forces in our neighboring countries, Argentine attitudes are highly deficient. Both in relation to the real possibility of finding points of contact between different versions of the world but competing parties and coalitions to form viable and stable, and in the actual implementation of public policies to solve concrete problems of construction of citizenship, our regional friends, especially Brazil and Chile visibly surpass us. Although it is clear that not living in the realm of equality, these countries walk forward and build inclusive spaces laboriously growing and build up their leadership in our country while policy makers are content with a permanent redescription problems without, in decades, the principle of the solution.

And this is a central point when reflection takes the path of the center. Since the restoration of democracy, different governments, even local, have set out from progressive positions. However, there is no certain indication of which have been established or primarily, discussions that would enable policies that deserve this name. Both with regard to treatment of inequalities, and in relation to policy and institutional reforms, the forces that call themselves progressive have not advanced one step in a visible and ostensible reformist path.

There is genuine universal policy to return fellow dignity violated by the desperation of poverty, no trace of a serious exercise of political reform to establish features of modernization in the electoral system and much less on the party life. These are passive protagonists of their own extinction without undergoing a review and without their key decision-makers can support even a brief, brief, error.

The policies of the center are the most conservative of Argentina's policy and that is unfortunately used by an exercise of institutional conservatism axis is different parties and also have intellectual and academic practices of self-justification.

We are contemporaries (in the sense Sloterdijkiano) of this idea of \u200b\u200bthe center. Talking about contemporary somehow is talking about the exercise of a community. The question here is how the community can live without despair and without our own life feel violated? You need to install an uninhibited debate about the conditions of possibility sociological, political and experiential democratic left politics and it must assume the risks of a conversation of which the end is not known but which, in turn, is prudent and necessary to trust him. A conversation but harmonious and collaborative conflict between different theoretical families, including complex visions of the problems and the imagination that must be implemented to repair the political damage that did to society. A specific discussion about what is new and what no longer serves on the responsibilities and omissions.

Sloterdijk In its defense, usually defined Finkielkraut of the contemporary condition as the existence of a catalog of disappointments. Living in the same calendar time does not make us contemporary conservatives who insist that they are center-left.
