Among many causes of project failure, it is widely recognized/ identified/that poor planning has an impact on project performance/success/.

La responsabilidad objetiva. Entre esquemas tradicionales y nuevas realidades, 2023

Este capítulo pretende demostrar, primero, que, entre los análisis de los dos últimos elementos estructurales de la responsabilidad existe normalmente una relación necesaria, cuya correcta consideración, incluso cuando se trata de la responsabilidad objetiva, garantiza que no se prescinda de alguno de ellos y que se logre, en cambio, un tratamiento riguroso de dicha institución jurídica; y segundo, que esa relación, conforme a la naturaleza de las cosas, pone en evidencia que, en la mayoría de los casos, la responsabilidad civil es subjetiva, de modo que la responsabilidad objetiva es excepcional, lo cual es coherente con su regulación típica.

Open Philosophy, De Gruyter, 2022

This essay pursues Gilbert Durand's plea for a new anthropological spirit that would overcome the bureaucracy-or-madness dichotomy which has since Nietzsche left its imprint upon contemporary thought, forcing it to choose between an "Apollonian" ontology established upon some kind of first principle and a "Dionysian" ontology consisting in the erasure of any founding norm. It does so by reclaiming Dionysus and Apollo's original twin-ness and dual affirmation in dialogue with contemporary anthropological theory, especially Roy Wagner's thesis on the interplay of "elicitation" and "containment" in sociocultural life. What would happen then, I ask, if we were to reimagine today's philosophical gamewhich after Heidegger Deleuze, and Derrida turns variously and increasingly around subtractionotherwise: as a chiastic board on which Apollo would cut Dionysus's continuum, which Dionysus would in turn restore despite Apollo's cuts, and on which the obliteration of any of the two gods would entail the inevitable dismemberment of the other? Accordingly, I offer a full reassessment of Dionysus's and Apollo's complementary roles in ancient-Greek culture in discussion not only with Nietzsche's Dionysian philosophy but also with Ihab Hassan's postmodern critique of Orpheus. All of it less with the purpose of putting forward a new metaphysics than with the intent of restating the translucent-ness that keeps together reality and thought against any claim that they are either transparent or opaque to one another.

Caros amigos, isso não é uma conferência. É apenas uma conversa que entabulo na condição de leitora e admiradora. Há algum tempo, para acompanhar uma tese de doutoramento sob minha orientação, encontrei encanto especial na leitura de Minha vida na arte, de Constantin Stanislavski (1863-1938). É na condição de leitora fisgada que desejo me inserir num circuito de textos já produzidos (ou a serem produzidos) na esteira do que esse mestre legou como obra. Dessa obra, que constituem oito volumes em russo, destaco aquelas que nos chegaram em traduções refeitas e revistas, ora em discurso articulado como texto estruturado-a própria My Life in Art (New York; 1926, Moscou; 2008, New York); ora apresentadas quase como texto de ficção sobre ações ensaiadas e reproduzidas em supostos diálogos (reunidos recentemente em nova tradução sob o título An Actor's Work). 2 1 Doutora em Literatura Comparada (UFRJ, 1997), professora da Escola de Teatro da UNIRIO, onde desenvolve pesquisa sobre as rel...

Comparative American Studies: An International Journal, 2019

This article contrasts the theories of ego formation put forward in Jacques Lacan’s ‘The Mirror Stage’ and Donald Winnicott’s ‘The Mirror Role of the Mother,’ and discusses their methodological implications for the field of American studies. While Lacan theorises subjectivity as irreparably split and (self-)alienated, Winnicott offers an optimistic version of a self which is sustained in its going-on-being by a nourishing maternal presence. These disparate conceptualisations of the human being produce two powerful frames through which to approach culture. Yet, while Lacan is widely recognised in the American studies scholarship, Winnicott remains virtually unknown. This article aims to enhance the visibility of the British author by outlining the productivity of his ideas for any cultural or literary analysis. By stressing the foundational significance of the primary bond Winnicott’s theory intervenes in the recent critiques of neoliberal capitalism which remain halted in a Lacanian-like melancholic mode, masked by a cultural command of perpetual enjoyment. The Winnicottian perspective challenges Lacan’s fixation on the unattainable objects of desire, reiterated by the neoliberal myth of self-perfection through consumption, and offers an alternative pattern of human sociality, based on relational, self-reflexive moderation.
