Sostenida en sus comienzos en el terreno de la ciencia, la poética de Cohen desplazará su interés hacia el ámbito de la música. Pero este desvío no implicará el abandono de la base científica sino la apertura de esa base al contacto y a la contigüidad con el nuevo orden simbólico. Se exploran aquí los nudos, o los puntos de articulación que pueden leerse entre algunas manifestaciones musicales como el free jazz, que no propiciarían el cómodo retorno del oído al reposo o la vuelta hacia lo mismo y el concepto de entropía positiva de Prigogine. La alianza ciencia/música conformaría un eficaz dispositivo para esta poética narrativa cuya dimensión política se juega especialmente en la rebeldía de los lenguajes y las formas, frente a los relatos hegemónicos que constituyen el mundo, reduciéndolo, deteniéndolo, con su ramplona y falaz repetición. ; Firmly rooted in Cohen's beginnings in the world of science, his poetry shifted his interest toward music. This change of direction did not imply a break with science but rather the opening up of those origins as they came into contact with the new symbolic order. This paper explores the nexus and points of contact between forms of music like free jazz, which does not give the ear an easy way back to a point of rest nor returns to the same forms, and Prigogine's concept of positive entropy. The partnership between science and music proves an effective device for analyzing this narrative poetry, the political nature of which emerges particularly in the rebelliousness of its language and forms, which fly in the face of the hegemonic accounts that make up the world and that reduce it and hamper it with their false, coarse repetitions.

This paper gathers a literature review of 72 documents which follows an interdisciplinary dialogue between Political Sciences and Psychoanalysis. In its elaboration, documents from Freudian and Lacanian orientations were selected, within three major objectives: Research about the political from Psychoanalysis; research from political analysis using psychoanalytical tools; and theoretical and methodological dialogues. Such contribution is relevant at the expense of a lack of another literature reviews. It also propitiates a mutually rich dialogue between Political Sciences and Psychoanalysis. The latter amplifies the clinical field, offering tools to understand the spirit of the age, and allowing the rupture of an unifier epistemology of classic science. Including the singularity of the subjects in political phenomena. ; El artículo recoge la elaboración de un estado del arte de 72 documentos que muestran el diálogo interdisciplinar entre la ciencia política y el psicoanálisis. En su elaboración se seleccionaron textos de orientaciones freudianas y lacanianas con tres lógicas de diálogo: investigaciones de lo político desde el psicoanálisis; investigaciones desde el análisis político con herramientas psicoanalíticas; y diálogos teóricos y metodológicos. Su contribución es pertinente ante la ausencia de revisiones de la literatura existente similares, además de propiciar un diálogo mutuamente enriquecedor entre la ciencia política y el psicoanálisis. Este último amplía el campo clínico al ofrecer herramientas que permiten comprender el espíritu de la época y romper con la epistemología homogenizadora de la ciencia clásica, al incluir la singularidad de los sujetos en los fenómenos políticos.

"What is the role of literature in the formation of the state? Anthony J. Cascardi takes up this fundamental question in Cervantes, Literature, and the Discourse of Politics, a comprehensive analysis of the presence of politics in Don Quixote. Cascardi argues that when public speech is constrained, as it was in seventeenth-century Spain, politics must be addressed indirectly, including through comedy, myth, and travellers' tales. Cervantes, Literature, and the Discourse of Politics convincingly reengages the ancient roots of political theory in modern literature by situating Cervantes within a long line of political thinkers. Cascardi notably connects Cervantes' political theory to Plato's, much as the writer's literary criticism has been firmly linked to Aristotle's. He also shows how Cervantes' view of literature provided a compelling alternative to the modern, scientific politics of Machiavelli and Hobbes, highlighting the potential interplay of literature and politics in an ideal state."--P.

A lecture was presented by the author at the Democratic Opinion Forum on Health Teaching and Research, organ­ized by Mexico's National Health Institutes Coordinating Office, at National Cardiology Institute "Ignacio Chavez", where he presented a critical review of the conventional classification of basic and applied science, as well as his per­sonal view on health science teaching and research. Ac­cording to the author, "well-conducted science" is that "generating reality-checked knowledge" and "mis-conduct­ed science" is that "unproductive or producing 'just lies' and 'non-fundable'. To support his views, the author re­views utilitarian and pejorative definitions of science, as well as those of committed and pure science, useful and useless science, and practical and esoterical science, as synonyms of applied and basic science. He also asserts that, in Mexico, "this classification has been used in the past to justify feder­al funding cutbacks to basic science, allegedly because it is not targeted at solving 'national problems' or because it was not relevant to priorities set in a given six-year political administration period". Regarding health education and re­search, the author asserts that the current academic pro­grams are inefficient and ineffective; his proposal to tackle these problems is to carry out a solid scientific study, con­ducted by a multidisciplinary team of experts, "to design the scientific researcher curricula from recruitment of intelligent young people to retirement or death". Perfor­mance assessment of researchers would not be restricted to publication of papers, since "the quality of scientific work and contribution to the development of science is not reflected by the number of published papers".

Open science, as a common good, opens possibilities for the development of nations, through innovations and collaborative constructions, which help to democratize knowledge. Advances in this area are still emerging, and the open science, cocreation of knowledge and open innovation triangle, is presented as an opportunity to generate an original contribution from research to open educational theory and practices. The study analyzed the articles that addressed this triangle, in order to identify the contexts and challenges that arise in open innovation and the cocreation of knowledge to promote open science. The method was a systematic literature review (SLR) of 168 articles published in open access format, from January 2014 to May 2017 in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. In the validation process, the York University criteria were used: inclusion and exclusion, relevance of the pertinent studies, evaluation of the quality / validity of included studies and description of data / basic studies. The findings showed that the mostwidely publicized contexts were in the United States and Brazil, in the business and academic sectors (closely followed by the social sector), and the challenges were open to innovation, opening and research. The research concludes that the context and practices of collaboration are substantial elements for innovation and open science.

Which were the mechanisms by which certain groups were positioned at the margins of national narratives during the nineteenth century, either via their exclusion from these narratives of through their incorporation into them as 'others'? By engaging with shifting ideas of exclusion and difference, the authors in this book reflect upon the paradoxical centrality of the subaltern at a time when literature was deployed as a tool for nation building. The lasting presence of the Jewish and Moorish legacy, the portrayal of gypsy characters, or the changing notions of femininity in public discourse exemplify the ways in which images of marginal 'types' played a central role in the configuration of the very idea of Spanishness. ¿Cuáles fueron los mecanismos mediante los que ciertos grupos fueron relegados a los márgenes del relato nacional durante el siglo XIX, bien a través de su exclusión de dichos relatos, bien a través de su incorporación a ellos como "otros"? A través del análisis de las ideas de exclusión y diferencia, los autores de este libro reflexionan sobre la paradójica centralidad de lo marginal en una época en la que la literatura fue una herramienta fundamental para la construcción de la nación. La pervivencia del legado judío y morisco, la representación de personajes gitanos o las distintas nociones de feminidad presentes en el discurso público ejemplifican las formas en que las imágenes de "tipos" marginales desempeñaron un papel central en la configuración de la idea de españolidad

This paper makes an approaching to between the literature and the law, which will be useful to analyze the figures of the possession and the property since a legal point of view, to after, to show some literally approaching to both. Those civil institutions must be looked, today, since a different way of the Romans and the liberalism of the centuries XVII and XIX view. In consequence, the study will focus in the property and the possession of the land, begging in the base of the solution of the problem of the land tenure —settled in first time in the subjects of the actual "peace dialogs" realized in the Habana (Cuba), between the Government of Colombia and the insurgent movement self called «Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC)»— constitutes a fundamental worry in the society, and the right to the land property is a natural aspiration of the mankind, but alien to the liberal conception of the property. ; Este artículo realiza un acercamiento a la relación entre literatura y derecho, que será útil para analizar las figuras de la propiedad y la posesión desde punto de vista jurídico para, luego, mostrar algunos acercamientos literarios a ellas. Se afirma que estas dos instituciones civiles deben ser miradas, hoy en día, desde una óptica distinta a la de los romanos y a la del liberalismo de los siglos XVIII y XIX. En consecuencia, el estudio se centrará en la propiedad y en la posesión de la tierra, partiendo de la base de que la solución al problema de la tenencia de la tierra —colocado en primer lugar dentro del temario de los actuales "diálogos de paz" que se realizan, en La Habana (Cuba), entre el Gobierno nacional de Colombia y el movimiento insurgente autodenominado «Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC)»— constituye fundamental preocupación en toda sociedad, y que el derecho a la tierra es una aspiración natural del hombre, pero ajeno a la concepción liberal de propiedad.
