Book Description
La finitud no es la muerte sino la vida. Si somos finitos es porque vivimos siempre en despedida y no podemos controlar los deseos, recuerdos y olvidos, porque el nuestro es un mundo que nunca nos pertenece del todo, ni será plenamente cósmico, ordenado o paradisíaco. Somos el resultado del azar y de la contingencia y no tenemos más remedio que elegir en medio de una terrible y dolorosa incertidumbre. Una vida finita no conseguirá eludir la amenaza del caos, ni estará capacitada para cruzar las puertas del paraíso. Ser finito significa que no podemos crear a voluntad nuestra existencia, porque, querámoslo o no, recibimos una herencia que nos obliga a resituarnos a cada instante. Se trazan en esta obra algunas escenas antropológicas que configuran nuestra vida cotidiana: la experiencia, el olvido, el mal, el deseo, el placer, el silencio. La filosofía aquí esbozada tratará de mostrar la fragilidad y la vulnerabilidad de la vida y de pensar la ética y la educación desde esta perspectiva. Estamos ante el relato fragmentario del recorrido por unas sendas para las que no contamos con brújulas ni cartas de navegación.

Book Description
This book reads Martin Crimp’s The Treatment (1993), Attempts on her Life (1997), The Country (2000), Face to the Wall (2002), Cruel and Tender (2004) and his adaptation of Chekhov’s The Seagull (2006) in the context of contemporary, late capitalist societies of control or of ‘spectacle’, and explores how female collapse in particular works as a form of denunciation of the violence of globalized, technological neo-liberalism. The book contends that Crimp is a post-Holocaust writer, whose dramaturgy is pervaded by the ethical and aesthetic debates that the Holocaust has generated in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Its main claim is that, by interpellating spectators through the defamiliarized language of collapse and testimony, Crimp invites spectators to contribute to detecting the seeds of ‘barbarism’ as they may detect them in their context, thus warning them about the introduction of violence in supposedly civilized relationships and thereby also contributing to overcoming the contemporary ethical impasse. The book finally argues that female characters who pass on their testimony are shown to the audience in the ‘process of becoming’ ethical bodies – namely, they are emerge as ethical out of the perceived necessity to integrate both the Other as essential parts of their beings, thus recovering an innate, Baumian sense of responsibility towards the Other.

Book Description
This book looks back in order to look forward. It is a sustained reflection on the great disillusion Europe experienced after World War I. Europeans understood that bombs had buried the Enlightenment. They knew that, to avoid catastrophe, they had to think anew. The catastrophe came, but Cohen, Benjamin, Kafka, and Rosenzweig had sounded the warning.

Book Description
To forget after Auschwitz is considered barbaric. Baer and Sznaider question this assumption not only in regard to the Holocaust but to other political crimes as well. The duties of memory surrounding the Holocaust have spread around the globe and interacted with other narratives of victimization that demand equal treatment. Are there crimes that must be forgotten and others that should be remembered? In this book the authors examine the effects of a globalized Holocaust culture on the ways in which individuals and groups understand the moral and political significance of their respective histories of extreme political violence. Do such transnational memories facilitate or hamper the task of coming to terms with and overcoming divisive pasts? Taking Argentina, Spain and a number of sites in post-communist Europe as test cases, this book illustrates the transformation from a nationally oriented ethics to a trans-national one. The authors look at media, scholarly discourse, NGOs dealing with human rights and memory, museums and memorial sites, and examine how a new generation of memory activists revisits the past to construct a new future. Baer and Sznaider follow these attempts to manoeuvre between the duties of remembrance and the benefits of forgetting. This, the authors argue, is the "ethics of Never Again."
