Book Review Literature and Critical Thinking in Salvadoran Schools by Mauricio Aguilar Ciciliano
type: item
description: Contextualization and presentation of the book Aguilar Cicliano's text suggests that, in recent years, the teaching of literature has undergone a pedagogical shift. The conception of literature as an ideal of beauty and the transmission of aesthetic values underwent a drastic change with the reform of the educational curriculum in 1996-97, when it was renamed Language and Literature and its components were divided into three: language, literature, and expression.

The notion of law from marxism to thomism in Julio Fausto Fernández´´'s thought
type: item
description: This essay explores the philosophy of law of Salvadoran philosopher Julio Fausto Fernández, from his Marxist to his Thomistic position, based on a diagnosis of his historical context and the ideas expressed in his written works. Fernández represents the meeting point of three doctrines: Liberalism, Marxism, and Thomism. Therefore, his notion of law is presented from the perspective of Marxism and Thomism, contrasting both doctrines with the formal and factual liberal legal order that governed his historical context. It presents how Fernández’s migration is driven by theoretical gaps within Marxist philosophy that enable a flawed political practice, incapable of grounding values,including the most fundamental since his Thomistic period: human dignity. Furthermore, the essay highlights the theoretical contradictions Fernández encountered in his Marxist phase when addressing the notion of law. It also analyzes the influence of philosophers such as Toynbee, for whom conscience plays an essential role in historical development, without ignoring the influence of the historical changes taking place in the 20th century. On the other hand, it is evident how Fernández’s position on law from different doctrines impacts his critique of the liberal legal system, shifting from a radically negative stance to a more moderate one. Finally, the essay vindicates Fernández’s first yearnings for justice and his ultimate doctrinal position, and how they have been denied by the contemporary society that followed his lifetime.

Challenges of the complete works of Francisco Gavidia
type: item
description: Abstract This paper explains the difficulty in the organization of the complete works of Francisco Gavidia. Due to the amplitude of disciplinary fields that he addressed and the quantity of works that Gavidia undertook, the organization of his work required a titanic effort by his grandson, the SalvadoranGuatemalan philosopher, José Mata Gavidia. This paper presents how Mata Gavidia organized his grandfather’s works culminating in a publication proposal presented to Ricardo Trigueros de León, which was partially finalized years later. Before doing so, we will review some works in which we find an effort to propose a list of Gavidia’s texts, specifically, the four winning books of the 1965 National Literature Competition, as well as the catalog of Gavidia’s works available at the National Library of El Salvador and published in the journal Anaqueles in 1970. Finally, we will evaluate Mata Gavidia’s proposal in the context of an ongoing project on the Salvadoran writer’s work.

Experiences and perceptions of research professors at the Faculty of Sciences and Humanities of the University of El Salvador
type: item
description: Abstract This paper is based on a qualitative study complemented by a research with documents. This study made it possible to identify and interview professors from the Faculty of Sciences and Humanities of the University of El Salvador who have a career in both research and scientific dissemination. The principal objective was to know the experiences of academics in terms of their academic and scientific production through research, in addition to knowing their perceptions about how the Faculty of Sciences and Humanities manages research as a relevant activity in its work, what are the challenges research professor confronts in order to do their task, what are the main limitations, what opportunities the institution has made available to them, what recognitions and incentives they receive for dedicating part of their time to research and what actions still needed to be implemented to continue improving. In addition, a research with documents was carried out that allowed us to contrast what the theory says with respect to what was stated by the research professors, as well as the record that is housed in databases and repositories about the studies and publications of the research professor of the Faculty of Sciences and Humanities.

Subjectivity and Artificial Intelligence, their ambiguities and paradoxes: A reading from Lacanian psychoanalysis
type: item
description: This article presents the insights into Artificial Intelligence (AI) that have emerged in philosophy and Lacanian psychoanalysis in recent years, from phenomena such as the launch of ChatGPT It argues that AI reflects fears inherent to the human psychic makeup, as explained by psychoanalysis. It exposes the paradoxes and impasses that projects such as Blue Brain and Neuralink, which represent attempts to overcome the limitations of the human mind, entail. Along the same lines, it addresses AI as an attempt to overcome these limitations, arguing that, on the contrary, AI is incapable of overcoming them, on the one hand, and, on the other, is incapable of fully emulating the functioning of the human mind. The article closely follows the discussions developed by some philosophers and representatives of Lacanian psychoanalysis based on the categories specific to that field. Finally, it concludes that these disciplines shed light to the extent that they lead to questioning traditional notions of what it means to think and know reality.

An approach to the use of Artificial Intelligence in Contemporary History research
type: item
description: Introduction: The risks of the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are discussed, reference is made to the need for historians to be aware of the possible uses of AI in their work and the objective is established: to offer researchers in contemporary history an overview of the possibilities that AI has opened up in the discipline. Results and discussion: starting from the link between computer science and historiographical research, the possibilities opened up by the latest technological advances are analysed and some of the most useful applications for the work of historians in the 21st century are discussed. Conclusions: We reflect on the usefulness of AI in historical research, placing value on its use to allow those who dedicate themselves to it to devote more time to creative work than to tedious and/or extremely repetitive work.

Anthropological and historical paradoxes in regard to territory and culture
type: item
description: This text, originally intended as a conference, aims to exemplify a series of paradoxes that social disciplines face, especially anthropology and history, when constructing their objects of study through concepts that link territory and culture. In this sense, referring to authors or certain academic currents allows us to reflect on the complexity of social research work without carrying out an anamnesis of the origin of said concepts. A work that should allow, without obviating the analytical and interpretative possibilities that can be used, to observe the task of the social disciplines from a critical perspective and to abandon any type of academic complacency.

Presentación Revista Humanidades No. 2, VI época
type: item
description: La irrupción de la inteligencia artificial en nuestra época marca un horizonte en el que nuevamente nos enfrentamos a un cuestionamiento sobre la razón de ser de los profesionales. Hace poco más de un siglo la fotografía generó revuelo entre los pintores. De la especulación sobre su sustitución por la fotografía emergieron las vanguardias, como renovación disruptiva del arte y la estética. La pintura de caballete sobrevivió a la aparición de la fotografía; la velocidad, la simpleza y la perfección de la imagen, que eran las marcas de la fotografía, no lograron imponerse sobre el colorido y la imaginación de los artistas. Su capacidad de pensar fuera de los parámetros de la perfección mimética, conjugada con la introspección y autorreflexión, posibilitó el nacimiento de movimientos como cubismo, el surrealismo, el futurismo, entre otros. La revolución estética de las vanguardias en un contexto de posible crisis en torno a la identidad y función de los pintores. Si bien la fotografía ofrecía una copia perfecta de retratos y paisajes, carecía de imaginación y sentimiento; en cambio las pinturas vanguardistas tenían en sí una parte del artista, un sello distintivo que las hacía valiosas. Con el tiempo, la fotografía dejaría de ser simplemente un avance tecnológico que amenazaba con sepultar el arte del retrato y el paisajismo, y se convertiría también en una forma de arte. Su técnica se humanizó y el fotógrafo pasó de ser el operario técnico de una herramienta a un artista en sí mismo.

Book review Stories of Civil War in El Salvador: a Battle Over Memory by Erik Ching
type: item
description: Based on a extensive review of memoirs and testimonies of the Salvadoran Civil War, the author of this book stablishes the existence of four clearly discernible memory communities, defined in terms of their narrative patterns and their interpretations of the armed conflict: civilian elites, military officers, guerrilla leaderships, and rankand- file combatants. Although this approach in not free of debatable aspects, Erik Ching’s work constitutes a formidable study on the narrative representations of the civil war and the formation of historical memory in El Salvador

the Influence of Pop Culture of the Sixties and Seventies in the University Identity
type: item
description: Pop Culture is present within the University contracultural movements of the sixties and seventies. Mentioned in music (rock), fashion and finally, film criticism of the time. In this first part the musical problem is addressed: the Salvadoran bands, belonging to the “New Age”, are the first stage in which youth pop culture shines. Although these bands are not directly related to the emergence of the new Salvadoran left, in some songs they echo the concerns of the youth of the decade, such as the Vietnam War and the Salvadoran military governments. By the beginning of the seventies, at the University of El Salvador there was a break in the perception of cultural products from the United States, they were seen and labeled as “imperialist”: protest music took the lead in the social dynamics of the students. However, there were several alliances between popular youth rock groups and Salvadoran protest folk groups. Thus allowing elements of Hippie culture and the music of some American singers (Mostly the music of Bob Dylan) to sneak through the barrier that tried to keep them out

Military Public Sphere. Leftist Legacy?
type: item
description: Seduced by words and images, current cultural studies classify the opening of a “bourgeois public sphere” under military regime as anti-hegemonic discourse. The first section —“Public Sphere or Lettered City”— describes how this freedom of speech corresponds to a dialogue between civic society and State, which sponsors most artistic activities. The second segment —“New Anti-hegemonic Discourse”— sketches how renovation in the military repeats this unity between State and Public Sphere, judged as revolutionary. Finally, the third section —“Conjunction of Opposites”— concludes how the same radical images and statement serve to legitimize both sides of the political spectrum. The Specters (-Kujkul, Gespenst) of the past rule the writing of cultural history, that is to say, poetics or po- Ethics: the debt that living humans warrants to Dead Ancestors. The cultural legacy of the Right wing needs to be recycled on behalf of the Left, by its fear to be at the Sinister shield of the national Past. By this appropriation the living present is invested as an exemplary teacher of the deceased past, by showing Death the true content of its experience

Influence of Hegel on the Reflective Thought of Francisco Gavidia and what the salvadoran people can learn from it.
type: item
description: Gavidia is maybe the most famous poet and writer in El Salvador’s entire history. However, is important to notice that for the huge number of texts that he leave as heritage, is not easy to access them. It seems that not even with all his fame it has been possible to popularized each one of all his writings, even the most relevant. This lack of reach means that much of what he wrote is unknown, and with it the message he wanted to convey to the population was lost. And it is precisely the most relevant part of this message the main objective that this essay aims to make known, but not before reviewing and contrasting it through the comparative method with a key influnece for the autor, that of the german philosopher Friedrich Hegel. It is in this presentation of main ideas and comparison between both, where it is intended to discover what Gavidia is trying to communicate and what benefit there may be for the population, since it makes no sense to affirm the importance of the poet in the country, without the majority of the salvadorans being able to recognize why

Francisco Gavidia’s historical theater and the paideia of the liberal nation
type: item
description: This paper explores the early theatrical production of Francisco Gavidia as part of a national paideia, that is, a comprehensive educational project that would allow the founding of a modern nation and overcome not only the burdens of the ancien régime, but also the limitations of the liberal modernization undertaken in El Salvador in the last two decades of the nineteenth century. To this end, he outlines this project and the polemical context in which it was enunciated. Following these clues, it presents a critical reading of the drama Jupiter (1889). This effort to carry out an exercise of cultural criticism integrates material from the author’s personal archive, which is housed under the name of Fondo Documental Francisco Gavidia (FDFG) in the section Colecciones Especiales of the Centro de Recursos para el Aprendizaje y la Investigación (CRAI) Florentino Idoate s.j. of the Universidad Centroamericana José Simeón Cañas

Revista Humanidades VI época, No.1
type: item
description: El conocimiento nuevo es el alimento de las nuevas generaciones y de las instituciones que guían el porvenir de las sociedades. En la ausencia del nuevo pensamiento y de los aportes intelectuales y académicos en las sociedades del presente, solo queda una suerte de consumismo enfermizo de pensamiento ajeno, enajenando de su realidad a los individuos. Razón que el aparecimiento de una nueva época de la Revista Humanidades debe de llenarnos de satisfacción y orgullo, pues la Universidad de El Salvador y nuestra Facultad de Ciencias y Humanidades demuestra que sus semillas del ayer son la vendimia de hoy. Los textos que se presentan a continuación son efectivamente el fruto de las redes intelectuales de los miembros de la Universidad, de las relaciones internacionales que se han nutrido con el tiempo desde la Facultad y de la riqueza que encontramos en nuestras aulas del siglo XXI

Revista Humanidades VI Época
type: item
description: La publicación del número 1 de la Revista Humanidades VI Época, representa para la Facultad de Ciencias y Humanidades el retorno a la tradición del conocimiento humanista, con el propósito de consolidar espacios de divulgación y diálogo entre los distintos campos del conocimiento académico y científico, desde la filosofía y las ciencias del lenguaje, los estudios de la sociedad y la cultura; así como la técnica y el esplendor de la cuarta revolución industrial; aunque, por momentos, la incomprensión de este último acontecimiento, nos ha llevado a pensar que asistimos al final de la esencia humana. El encuentro de la memoria colectiva y la fragmentación de los recuerdos en la sociedad salvadoreña y la mundialización cultural, también forman parte de este nuevo episodio que protagonizamos en el presente; pero tener conciencia que “tenemos conciencia” de esta realidad, se convierte en un espacio en el que de forma genuina, la reivindicación del humanismo adquiere sentido, cuando nuestro trabajo intelectual integra el espíritu, la razón y la estética, porque desde este dispositivo de creación se produce la imaginación de lo posible, relativizando los artificios y lo artificial antihumanos. Aquel lejano mes de marzo de 1952, hace 73 años, se identifica el nacimiento de la Revista Humanidades, cuyo director fundador fue el Dr. Alberto Rivas Bonilla, mientras el Estado salvadoreño se refundaba después de la constituyente de 1948 y pareciera, a la luz de los hechos, que la historia de la cultura salvadoreña se partía en dos, ya que tres años después, en el año 1955 fallecería Francisco Gavidia y, como por designios fantásticos, también germina el origen de la generación comprometida, con el inicio del Círculo Literario Universitario, aquí en nuestra casa de estudios

(De)Construyendo la Identidad Cultural a Través del Lenguaje
type: item
description: In this presentation, the author points out the role of language in the processes of transculturation, becoming a tool to erase the direct and affective links with the subaltern culture. The so-called international or modern languages such as English, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Arabic and other European languages have played the role of killing languages throughout history, especially in the last 500 years, displacing the vernacular languages of the subjugated peoples in all social spheres. Given this reality, the author hypothesizes that the displaced native language is a key element in the recovery of the identity of indigenous peoples. The author refers to the Pipil language and culture of El Salvador to demonstrate how efforts to revitalize Nahuat-Pipil are contributing to the recovery of ethnic pride and the revaluation of indigenousness

Tultekáyut es la variante dialectal pipil de Toltecáyotl: este es el término clásico mexica. Distintos investigadores (lexicógrafos, historiadores, arqueólogos, antropólogos) dan significaciones variadas a partir de un sentido central del término: espiritualidad, sabiduría, creatividad. En su Diccionario del Náhuatl en el español mexicano, Carlos Montemayor define “tolteca” como el que destaca por su arte, industria, ciencia, creatividad

La fuerza mesiánica en el indígena
type: item
description: The patriotic ideas of José Martí and José Vasconcelos are based on the rescue of indigenous tradition. For them it is impossible to achieve full autonomy in Latin America without vindicating the indigenous and the mestizo, for this reason it can be argued that the rescue of the indigenous tradition is a redemptive act that unleashes “the messianic force” contained in said tradition. Consequently, such a redemptive act is a soteriological imperative. In order to combine these categories with the philosophies of José Martí and José Vasconcelos, the contributions of Walter Benjamin and Alexander Dugin are used in this paper.

description: Aproximadamente a 108 Kms de San Salvador, anclada en la región montañosa de la cordillera de Apaneca- Lamatepec, se mantienen aún latentes los rasgos étnicos culturales del pueblo Náhuat-pipil, Tacuba aun resiste entre sus comunidades a los embates de la modernidad. Sus orígenes étnicos, de su cultura ancestral, que se remontan a la etimología del nombre de su pueblo Tacupan, que en lengua nahuat significa “lugar del juego de pelota” como lo citan algunos autores, mientras otros se inclina a pensar que se deriva de la palabra nahuat Tlacopán, que significa “tierra florida”. Como sea, en ambas definiciones, nos sirve de metáfora para entender que en estos tiempos los cambios tecnológicos de la modernidad, la comunicación comunitaria aparece como un nuevo campo de juego en esta tierra fértil de escenarios decoloniales. Radio la “Voz de mi gente” es la segunda radio comunitaria indígena en El Salvador, la primera, radio Acaxual, fue en el municipio de Izalco durante la primera década del siglo XXI, pero no pudo sostenerse en el tiempo. El proyecto es parte de un colectivo de jóvenes indígenas de la zona, con mucha identidad construyen un nuevo escenario de espacio de comunicación democráticos, con la voz de los pueblos originarios de Tacuba.

Cultura Material y Arqueología de Género
type: item
description: The advantageous circumstances of Joya de Cerén as an ancient pre-hispanic village “stopped in time” by geologically violent conditions, provide or suggest much more data than those obtained in other Mesoamerican sites on the internal relations between the members of the families of their time, as well as between them and their local neighbors, in the valley or at a regional level. The idea is that its different spaces as units of scientific analysis allow a better identification of productive, consumption and exchange activities - among others - generated by its inhabitants at some point in the Classic period (200/300-850/900 AD); that is, concrete human behavior that manifest as a set of archaeological indicators, responds to a certain socio-economic formation of its time. Despite this, the knowledge that all these elements offer about gender relations among the ancient inhabitants of the site is still imprecise. There are, however, important efforts in Mesoamerica to infer, from archeology and anthropology, much more data on the differentiation of functions or activities of women and men, observable in the excavated contexts. This brief bibliographic review article should be considered as an exercise to approach the issue of gender in the archeology of Joya de Cerén

Movilización Indígena en El Salvador
type: item
description: The article that is put to the consideration of the reader constitutes a scientific reflection on the political action of the indigenous peoples of El Salvador and the demand for their rights as citizens of the nation. The article is based on my own research on the people of Cacaopera in 1999 and the Nahuat-Pipil indigenous people of Santo Domingo de Guzmán in 2000, as well as my research on the indigenous mobilization that began in 2009. It is established that after the 1932 massacre, the indigenous peoples of El Salvador concentrated their political and social action in their local societies, claiming their rights as ethnic groups before the governments of their municipalities. It is until 2009 that a national mobilization is generated, which cannot be characterized as a social movement because an organic structure that unifies them is not built, but rather the political mobilization is developed by virtue of their local organizations. In short, despite the fact that the indigenous leaders postulate a unified social action, the observation of the social base of the original peoples shows an important social and cultural diversity, which conditions a fragmented political action.

Levantamientos Indígenas y Campesinos en El Salvador
type: item
description: The purpose of this paper is to show in general terms the background or what, in the words of the Guatemalan historian Severo Martínez Peláez, formed the root causes of a conflict that resulted in a broad indigenous uprising between the end of 1832 and the beginning of 1833 in the region of the nonualcos. This background that was fed from the old days of the colonial regime exploded just a little over a decade after the separation of the Kingdom of Guatemala with Spain and generated a deep power vacuum. The indigenous communities found themselves faced with a new situation as what mattered to them was conserving the little that had been gained after three long centuries of spanish rule. Attempting against this implied unleashing a conflict, but the new elites did not stop at it, because in addition to threatening the status quo of these communities, they implemented measures that directly affected their already battered economy (direct contribution law) and conscriptions or forced recruitment, which acted as triggering causes of the uprising. Although the uprising led by Anastasio Aquino failed, the problem did not end with the execution of the nonualco caudillo and the indigenous discontent continued to be reflected in various uprisings throughout the 19th century, although certainly not with the same intensity, but it is an indication that the new elites were never interested in resolving the indigenous issue, which led the communities to seek to establish various political and participatory alliances as a survival mechanism and to achieve benefits. In general, this is the panorama of the 19th century, which was involved in various struggles between interest groups seeking power and where both indigenous people and ladinos were participants and protagonists of political life.

type: item
description: A través de esta crónica se presenta la vida de una mujer que desde su infancia tuvo la inspiración de estudiar, ser profesora y enseñar a los demás, sin embargo, la realidad la llevó por otros caminos que la convirtieron en simpatizante de la Democracia Cristiana, ama de casa y madre, miliciana y guerrillera. Durante su militancia en la guerrilla le tocó representar a las mujeres salvadoreñas en congresos y otros eventos en el extranjero, ser protagonista de un documental dirigido por las estadounidenses Monona Wali y Pamela Cohen.

Al final del camino, después de la firma de los Acuerdos de Paz luego de haber sido diputada de la Asamblea Legislativa, se dedicó a concretizar la realidad de una de las Implores aspiraciones de su vida: estudiar para convertirse en profesora, pasando del uso de su arma preferida, la pistola 9 milímetros, a obtener una de las mejores notas de la ECAP que realiza el Ministerio de Educación: 9. 9
