The aim of the research group meetings is to promote and carry out research programmes in the field of hermeneutic philosophy on the basis of interdisciplinary dialogue around theoretical and practical problems that discover common roots in the field of "human understanding" in academically differentiated knowledge.
A political critique of knowledge about "the human". Reflections on Michel Foucault's archaeo-genealogy of liberalism and neoliberalism.
Coordinator: Dr. Iván G. Dalmau
Violence: phenomenological-hermeneutic perspectives.
Coordinator: Dr. Maximiliano Cladakis
A group of young researchers dedicated to hermeneutics and phenomenology reflect upon conflict and violence within a phenomenological- hermeneutic perspective. In the first meeting of the Seminar "Violence: phenomenological-hermeneutic perspectives" held in July, the objectives of the group were presented, as well as the work plan and the proposed readings. The second meeting was held in August and focused on the relationship between ontology, intersubjectivity and conflict in the thought of Jean Paul Sartre, more precisely, in his 1943 work Being and Nothingness. In October, the third meeting was conducted by Dr. Graciela Ralón de Walton, who gave a presentation on the inscription of violence in collective life in the thought of Merleau-Ponty and Paul Ricouer. Several other meetings took place to explore the theme have been carried out since then.
