Narrative and Aesthetics of Exiled Bodies
type: item
description: This essay revolves around the question: how is the novel Las malas aesthetically and narratively structured through the representation of the exiled body? To achieve its objective, the text is organized into three key sections. First, it examines the physical, symbolic, and social uprooting experienced by the trans woman of Parque Sarmiento within the narrative, through the category of exile. Second, it analyzes the symbolic axes of the work —wound, metamorphosis, and community— from a decolonial perspective. Subsequently, it puts into tension the notion of the body in literature, problematizes the critical scope of so-called marginal literatures, and highlights the conflicts that arise when classifying these narratives in relation to the canon. Finally, the essay concludes that the novel transforms trans corporeality into an aesthetic-critical device that destabilizes canonical hierarchies, while also leaving open a reflection on the paradox of the marginal and its incorporation into the center of literary debate.

The Dialogue Between God and Satan in the Prologue of Job’s Book
type: item
description: Job is one of the most popular sapiential books on the Old Testament. It addresses some of the main themes associated with the origin of evil in the world: it immediately invalidates the free will response, a classic argument in philosophy and theology, going beyond the interpretation of it as a test of faith (usually attributed to a trial of Job, although it would be more focused on proving to Satan that even a man can be faithful). It seems more like a tendency toward the Epicurean paradox, although this response goes beyond that, given that in the context of Job there is a tendency to respond to evil as a test; however, the subject being tested has been misunderstood. The justification of suffering, in this context, is given as a philosophical response from God in the prologue of this wisdom book. The objective of this article is to carry out an internal analysis of the prologue of the book of Job in order to outline the answer about the origin of evil in the world, which shows us that, from a philosophical-theological perspective, it is possible to arrive at a consensus answer about this classic question in moral philosophy: suffering and the origin of evil is not a paradoxical event, but rather a fact with a deeper meaning than is usually given to it.

The Cultural Industries
type: item
description: This article proposes a philosophical conceptualization of cultural industries as a socioeconomic and biopolitical category, approached from a critical hermeneutic perspective. Drawing on the contributions of Paolo Virno, post-operaist Antonio Negri, and situationist Guy Debord, it argues that cultural industries not only generate employment and creativity, but also shape new forms of immaterial labor based on communication skills and competencies. The central thesis argues that these industries act as a biolinguistic expression of biopolitics, influencing the affections and emotions of individuals through financial signs disseminated by the media. The figure of the “virtuous worker,” protagonist of contemporary capitalism, whose value lies in linguistic and cognitive production rather than material goods, is examined. Finally, it reflects on the relationship between language and economics, showing how communication becomes a commodity and the driving force behind the global productive fabric.

El sentido figurativo (lógico) de la proposición
type: item
description: The following paper has the main purpose of analysing the proposition and its logical form in the light of Wittgenstein's contributions in the Tractatus logico-philosophicus. The emphasis will be on how the logical form influences the determination of the sense of the proposition. In this way, first, the nature of the proposition and, then, its figurative form, which is a necessary condition for determining the figurative sense of the proposition, will be exposed. Finally, the thesis according to which the determination of meaning is achieved by presupposing the existence of a real world in which things are related in such and such a way will be sustained, thus assuming a realist reading of the theory of representation that Wittgenstein develops in his Tractatus.

“Vintage Victims” as a Philosophical Artefact
type: item
description: En este artículo se analiza la categoría “víctimas vintage” como artefacto filosófico para evidenciar y visibilizar las fisuras éticas y epistémicas en instituciones públicas que atienden víctimas, tomando como referencia el caso mexicano. A partir de un enfoque hermenéutico y análisis discursivo sustentado en la literatura y en hallazgos de investigaciones previas, se examina cómo el lenguaje institucional configura representaciones que limitan el reconocimiento de las víctimas como sujetos de derechos. El estudio se organiza en cuatro apartados: conceptualización del artefacto filosófico, contextualización del término “vintage”, análisis hermenéutico de la categoría y su problematización crítica. Asimismo, se retoman casos emblemáticos como Acteal, Campo Algodonero y Ayotzinapa para evidenciar que la visibilización mediática no garantiza justicia, sino que puede reforzar dinámicas de archivo, repetición y olvido institucional. Se concluye que esta categoría permite cuestionar la estetización del sufrimiento y las lógicas institucionales de olvido.

Between Pages and Mountains
type: item
description: Publishing projects can be the subject of discussion and academic research. For this reason, the dossier "Writing and Editing as Philosophical Artifacts" takes advantage of the occasion of celebrating 15 years of the journal Disertaciones to foster inquiry and reflection, shifting the focus to the ways of editing, publishing, and disseminating training and research exercises associated with philosophy, the humanities, education, literature, and other areas related to the journal's editorial line. This is also an opportunity for an exchange with researcher Nathalia Gómez Raigosa, who has been investigating the processes surrounding the book and reading ecosystem in the Coffee Region. This issue is addressed during her postdoctoral fellowship at the Vivero creativo del Eje, a project led by the University of Caldas and funded by the Sistema General de Regalias (SGR), which aims to strengthen the value chains of the cultural and creative industries in the region. Given the importance of his research to the topic of this dossier and to encourage future research, we proposed an interview that engages with the perspectives expressed in the articles in this issue.

Editorial Note: Writing and Publishing as Philosophical Artifacts
type: item
description: Every writing practice arises from a need for meaning. In the face of the disorder of facts and the inadequacy of explanations, writing allows us to organize experience, establish connections, and open spaces for understanding. In this process, words do not merely represent the world: they construct it and connect it with others. In this construction, writing and editing are presented as philosophical artifacts insofar as they are material forms of thought, in which reflection becomes an object. From the first signs drawn on stone to contemporary books, the act of inscribing words has been a way of extending consciousness, of fixing the flow of thought in a shareable form. Each edited text, in this sense, is an artifact that condenses a relationship between idea, matter, and collectivity: thinking, writing, and circulating thought are inseparable dimensions of the same philosophical practice. This issue of Dissertations brings together research and reflections that share this concern with words as a critical practice. The articles address writing from its philosophical power, its pedagogical dimensions, and its editorial scope. They question the modes of knowledge circulation and the place of creative practices in academic and cultural contexts. Together, they shape a perspective on publishing in philosophy as a space for reflection, community, and intellectual independence.

Criticism and Independence
type: item
description: Editing philosophy implies a conception of editing as a philosophical project. This criterion involves a sense of the craft as an ethos from which commitment is guided by the independence that underlies the idea of philosophy as a critical faculty. From this perspective, an anarchic conception of philosophy in relation to writing, style, method, commerce, and its hierarchy is essential to consolidate an editorial project grounded in the symbolic value it projects. The text attempts to define some editing guidelines related to a broad sense of philosophy itself. In this sense, it stipulates the editorial project as a representation of the uses of reason that make philosophy a plural testimony.

Writing to Transform
type: item
description: This paper develops a proposal centered on writing, editing, and reading as acts that shape knowledge. From this premise, it asks: How do these three elements constitute an epistemic unity that transforms both hermeneutical understanding and the conditions of knowledge production? The answer is trans-hermeneutic episteme, a framework that integrates hermeneutics, complex thought, and liberatory ethics in five stages: epistemic positioning, comprehensive openness, integration of knowledge, meaning-making, and transformative projection. In this process, reading, writing, and editing intertwine in a generative circular dynamic, forging a reflective practice that shapes meaning and calls for transformation. From this perspective, the text is recognized as a philosophical artifact that links language, history, and action, opening spaces for the creation of shared realities.

The Margins of Publishing
type: item
description: Publishing projects mobilize ideas and resources to create, preserve, and circulate knowledge, culture, and wisdom; they also involve diverse academic and cultural actors. The Biblioteca de Autores Quindianos (BAQ) represents a hybrid project, comprised of diverse university, independent, and institutional agents; due to its public ties, it has no commercial purpose. Between 2010 and 2025, 65 books were published, which encourages critical work for their understanding and dissemination. To contribute to this, in the context of publishing culture, books, and reading in the humanities in Colombia, we review some positions on publishing processes, the production, and circulation of theoretical and artistic creation that allow us to characterize the BAQ. We then present some theoretical perspectives to assess it in the context of Quindio criticism and literature, giving rise to some questions based on the understandings of writing, books, and publishing presented above. Finally, we identified the need to review some guidelines and work on the collection, in light of the changing environment, to address other readers and reading styles, since these are necessary conditions for the future viability of the BAQ project.

Teaching Written Communication
type: item
description: The present article conducts an analysis of the way written communication is taught in three Colombian universities, with a view to ascertaining the extent to which the respective institutional objectives of these universities are being met. The article’s objectives are twofold: firstly, to examine the institutional frameworks that underpin writing instruction strategies, and secondly, to evaluate the coherence between these approaches and the practices implemented at each university. The methodology comprised a comparative study of institutional documents, curricular and extracurricular strategies, and an evaluation of interventions for the development of writing skills. The results indicate that each university adopts a differentiated approach that is consistent with its institutionally declared vision. The article is structured as follows: Firstly, a review of the institutional documents is conducted, with the aim of ascertaining the extent to which each university is committed to specific visions on academic writing. In the following section, the pedagogical actions and strategies employed by the three universities to train students in written communication are presented. These strategies are then examined to determine their degree of coherence with the respective institutional frameworks. The article concludes with the presentation of its findings.

Between Lines and Mirrors
type: item
description: This article explores writing as a philosophical practice that enhances philosophical self-counseling, distinguishing it from conventional therapeutic approaches. Through a theoretical review that integrates the ideas of authors like Mónica Cavallé and Ran Lahav, along with the systematization of lived experiences, the text analyzes how writing facilitates the clarification of thought, structured internal dialogue, and the cultivation of self-awareness. It is argued that, by writing, the subject positions themselves as the author and editor of their own existence, transforming experience into an object of reflection. The study concludes that writing is not a mere record, but a praxis that activates the critical and creative dimensions of thought, returning to the individual the power to think ethically and construct meaning for their life.

“Intensified” Studies of an Art-investigation
type: item
description: This essay deals about regimes of practices that some artists adopt when they reside outside their usual places. In these decontextualized reside, they share with other people a creative process to form a transversal work mechanism whose possibilities, flows and forms are permanently updated and sustain their work in dialogue with momentary groups. Residing here and there sharing art-life segments constitutes a work format that many art residencies currently develop. In this article, various nuances of residence are reviewed through a methodological proposal of art-research whose interdisciplinary incursion "intensifies" (Viveiros de Castro) studies on sixteenth-century authors (Boucheron), with the aim of accounting for the timelessness of certain difficulties that artists, and their works in progress, go through for the maintenance of authorial autonomy when, in dissent to what has been instituted (Tatián) are crossed by the fear of helplessness (Safatle). The discussion on the professional status of the artist and authorial autonomy is dealt in many art residencies, spaces of help that allow contemporary arguments to be raised about art-life and the inseparable relationship with the socio-political issues that cross it (Heinich, Bourdieu).

Formación docente para el siglo XXI
type: item
description: This article aims to show the importance of otherness in the training of new teachers. to achieve this, we start from Lévinas' ethics, in order to show how this ethical perspective can generate a change in the vision of teachers, facilitating the understanding and understanding of students, recognizing the other as a fundamental being. The importance of understanding and accepting the vulnerability, fragility, fears and diverse spaces of the other is underlined; since it is from this recognition that one becomes aware of oneself and of the other, which is evident in the welcome. This welcome implies welcoming, recognizing the importance of the other and, from this, generating an approach to the student. In this relationship, education is revealed as a fundamental issue if it is aimed at recognizing and revealing the fragility and vulnerability of the other (the learner) in his or her entirety.

The Dialogues of Ricoeurian Philosophy in Colombia
type: item
description: The thought of Paul Ricoeur has undoubtedly gained strength and vitality within Colombian philosophy over the past century, becoming integrated into various academic dialogues and reflective discourses. However, the lack of research aimed at opening new horizons or identifying potential lines of inquiry remains evident. This documentary exploration adopts a state-of-the-art methodological approach with a hermeneutic emphasis, focusing on primary concepts within Ricoeurian philosophy such as the philosophy of the will, hermeneutics, and the hermeneutics of the self. Also, through a dialogical engagement with Colombian philosophy, we examine the contributions that Colombian thinkers have made to Ricoeurs thought. Finally, we seek to clarify possible fields of action regarding these initial taxonomies, suggesting areas where further reflection could emerge around the thought of this French philosopher.

Metaphysics and Meaning in Wittgenstein's Tractatus
type: item
description: In statement 6.54 of the Tractatus, Wittgenstein casts the grounds (the well-known metaphor of the stairs) on which certain porpositions are considered absurd and the concept of meaning is determined as a figurative expression of language. But if we throw away the stairs, we throw away the basis for discerning what is absurd. The first part of this paper attempts to address this problem, while the second part presents two readings (Diamond and Conant, on the one hand, and Hacker, on the other), which are alternatives for overcoming this problem and which, even so, have difficulties. For this reason, a third reading is proposed which aims to vindicate the role of metaphysics in Wittgenstein's thought. Such a reading allows us to think in a broader sense than the one proposed in the Tractatus, in a metaphorical sense that language constructs as images and that functions in the field of ethics.

Λόγος made Word
type: item
description: In this article I will expose a philosophical and linguistic analysis with some allusions to Schopenhauer, about this Bible verse of Evangelium of Juan when the beloved apostle wrote: “Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν, καὶθεός ἦν ὁ λόγος”. Beyond a religious interpretation that cab be given to this passage, this bible verse shows us an aspect very important about philosophical language in a Christological dimension: both ἀρχῇ and λόγος have a longue history on the philosophy tradition. On this way, I will expose some ideas about these two philosophical and religious concepts with nuances in what tradition has supported about the broad meaning of both. The Christological dimension that has been attributed to thus biblical passage will also be presented indirectly. The article will be divided into two fundamental parts: the first one will address the Logos as a discursive faculty in man, and the second one, as an original consciousness [of all creation]. This will lead us to conclude that the Logos can be interpreted in a Christological sense, linked to religiosity, and in a philosophical sense insofar as it is linked to the ancient commentaries of the pre-Socratics regarding the cosmic origin of the world.

Ideology and Power in the 21st Century
type: item
description: This article offers a philosophical-critical analysis of the concept of ideology in the 21st century, drawing on the contributions of Hannah Arendt, Slavoj Žižek, Judith Butler, and Terry Eagleton. Through a hermeneutic and comparative methodology, ideology is examined as a symbolic, narrative, and performative structure that shapes experience, subjectivity, and power. It is argued that ideology not only conceals reality but actively produces it through normative frameworks and culturally internalized fictions. The article is structured in three sections: a theoretical reconstruction of the concept, an analysis of its operation in contemporary contexts (such as populism, social media, and post-truth), and a discussion of its limits and possibilities for transformation. It concludes that a philosophical critique of ideology—far from being a purely theoretical exercise—is essential for expanding the margins of agency, plurality, and justice within current democratic frameworks.

Editorial Note
type: item
description: With the publication of this issue, Disertaciones magazine reaches 14 years of editorial activity as an open access digital journal. It constitutes a contribution of the Philosophy Program of the University of Quindío to the dissemination of knowledge and the philosophical activity from Colombia. There are 19 editions and more than 100 articles that have been published, which constitutes a valuable archive generated by this editorial exercise, which we hope will gain greater relevance, given the context of dispute about the need to democratize access to information and the results of research processes. For which the open access journal system (Open Journal Systems) is a reliable tool.

Artistictic and Educational Experience Configuring Subjectivation Processes
type: item
description: This work problematizes some artistic and educational experiences, as configuring processes of subjectivation of students and professors in the university. The research carried out with a biographical-narrative and critical design, recourse to the narrative, to the reflective hermeneutics of Paul Ricœur and assumes the criticism from the Foucault’s perspective, as paths or ways of seeing, which in a healthy criterion can contribute to understand and transform classroom practices. Participants were selected through intentional or discretionary probability sampling (snowball). Through a comprehensive analysis of the stories or their extracts, we come to the conclusion of the importance of implementing teaching strategies in the classroom, centered on the freedom and interest of the student, oriented through expansive dialogues.

Between Philosophy and Literature
type: item
description: In this article we review the relationship between philosophy and literature as a central element of the work of the Colombian thinker Nodier Botero Jiménez, with the intention of exposing in a practical way the correspondences between both disciplines. For this, we will talk about the meeting points between philosophy and literature from literary criticism and theory, the philosophical reading of literary discourse as an instrument of uncovering and deepening of the final causes, in addition, we will wonder whether philosophy is equivalent to literature, extending the discussion on the diffuse stylistic limits, without ignoring that their intentions are expressions of different knowledge. For the development of the above, we will contrast different conceptual approaches such as Musil's Kakania with the dialectic of the positive-rational moment, Roth's erotics with Kant's aesthetic critique, Borge's fiction with today's hyperconnected world, among others. In this article we intend to review part of the work of a Colombian thinker who made of heterodox depth his flag as a scribe when thinking about the relationship between philosophy and literature: Professor Nodier Botero. A man whose theoretical delectations were of an overflowing intensity, coming to relate conceptual diversities such as Musil's Kakania with the dialectics of the positive-rational moment, Roth's erotics with Kant's aesthetic critique, Borgean fiction with today's hyperconnected world, among many others.

Spectral Apparitions
type: item
description: In the following article I establish a relationship between contemporary artistic practices linked to the uses and interpretation of archives and what I call spectrality. This relationship is, as I argue, one of the main ways of access to artistic practices. For this approach, I recover the contributions to the subject made by Jacques Derrida, Aby Warburg and Georges Didi-Huberman, where it is possible to observe the fracture and reconfiguration of the linear temporality that sustained Western modernity from the figure of the specter. Secondly, is analyzed the works of the Argentine artists Daniel García, Graciela Sacco and Cristina Piffer, where I intend to observe the way in which these artists propose a visual and aesthetic imprint characterized by the use of archival images in which the figure of the specter occupies the central space of inquiry. In this sense, its argued that it is possible to think of the contemporary artistic practices that emerge after the military dictatorship that ruled Argentina between 1976 and 1983, as a spectral politics conceived as a reappearance of that which has been repressed and violated.

Bartolomé De Las Casas
type: item
description: The following writing aims to demonstrate that, within the descriptions in Very Brief Report of the destruction of the Indies, guilt is conceived on the part of the fragile, which is why in his writing he intends to make an omission of the same. To do this, we try to demonstrate that De las Casas' thinking entails an ethical determination not to evade his responsibility for barbaric acts. This implies giving an important character to the relationship as a witness and “accomplice” of the particularities that are related in their writings. In this way, the present text is divided into three parts. The first will link the relationship between ethics and faith as a motive to reject violent acts. In the second, the opposition of De las Casas to the existence of cults opposed to moral good, together with the relationship of the body as a way of exclusion towards the other through dehumanization and the third, the dilemma of metaphysical guilt, in which De las Casas has a responsibility for not avoiding barbaric situations.

The Marxism from Our Latin American Third World:
type: item
description: The Complete Edition of the Works of Marx and Engels (MEGA) has shown that the critique of political economy is a continent that is still being discovered. However, the contemporary distortions made by Edgardo Lander on this legacy have made it obsolete and meaningless for our struggles, citing an absolute knowledge of their approaches. This paper addresses the general guidelines of contemporary readings of Marxism from our Latin American third world and makes some clarifications, to then make a "record" of this tradition that returns to the foundations of its thought to the extent that it maintains a critical horizon on Modernity and capitalism. We make clear the anti-Marxist way of producing a standardization of Marx’s thought by Edgardo Lander and point in the direction of an appropriation in accordance with the anti-colonial dimension of Marx’s thought and Latin American Marxism.

Amphibious Writings, Part I
type: item
description: This article characterize the notion and practice of philosophy of a group of Colombian professors in the twentieth century. The starting point is the historiographic revision of the "normalizing" account in the history of local philosophy. The qualitative analysis of texts written in Colombia between 1940 and 1960 proposes an ambivalent reading of some characteristics of the philosophy as a profession, exposing the tensions between a philosophical vocation and the modest working conditions. Other tensions will show the two axes (technical and cultural) from which those professors pretended to do philosophy. In 1950, the account of the normalizing process of philosophy was reinforced by Francisco Romero through some exemplary, "Adamic" and even epic referents. Later, the account of the decades between 1940 and 1960 was crystallized under the retrospective lens of 1980, but from a unilateral view of the category of "normalization", focused only on technical and disciplinary aspects of philosophy. To address the cultural axis, the figure of the "intellectual" of the mid-twentieth century is outlined, based on what Renán Silva has characterized as the "shepherd of souls", as the one who could interpret popular culture and dictate a course for it. A second installment, which deals with the analysis of different textual registers of philosophical writing in the mid-twentieth century, more focused on the axis of interpretation and cultural orientation.

Falling into Provocation
type: item
description: This study presents a different perspective for politics in Latin America, focused on the generation of alternative political subjectivities and personal transformation. It criticizes the imposition of liberalism and argues that current electoral options have not produced a significant change for the majority of the population. It proposes the use of destituent power and insurrection, instead of revolution, as means to reduce the influence of the state. This implies the creation of communities of choice, whose main criterion is shared antagonism against some external factor. These communities could more effectively address not only the economic issue, but also that of recognition and the problems derived from it. Finally, it emphasizes that this struggle does not seek to establish any ideology as the basis of its approach and that serves as a guide. Instead, it is necessary to learn to recognize and value the needs of the subjectivities that make up the group, and to attend to them directly, discovering new sources of sustenance in contact.

The Tack in Cayetano Betancur's Thought
type: item
description: This article is an attempt to compare the position of the historian of Colombian philosophy Carlos Arturo López Jiménez on the idea that Cayetano Betancur had about the possibility of the existence of a Philosophy in Colombia, with Betancur’s own thoughts on the matter. First, I will show the perspective of López Jiménez and the use he makes of Cayetano Betancur's ideas. Then I will describe the intellectual journey of Cayetano Betancur with respect to the problem of whether or not there would be a Philosophy in Colombia. In this way I will be able to show how, at a certain moment, Betancur makes a turn (a tack) in his thinking and goes from denying a Philosophy in Colombia to assuming its existence, plus, the need of reading and recognizing local philosophical sources.

Philosophy in the Public Sphere
type: item
description: The article elaborates the concept of philosophical field from the Social History of Philosophy and in resonance with Bourdieu, dealing with the notion of public opinion and showing, from a historical perspective, the role of the intellectual in its constitution. Next, it offers a case study based on the work of the Colombian philosopher Laura Quintana and her constant interventions in the public sphere, evidencing that the role of the intellectual cannot be that of critical paternalism, which undervalues the subjects and their capacities, but rather it must offer and create new ways of understanding the world, which, in the long run, contribute to its transformation.
