David Graeber and David Wengrow’s The Dawn of Everything offers a salutary corrective to modern political theory, with its choice between two forms of the “state of nature”: Hobbes’s negative vision of bloodthirsty humans held in check only by the violent power of the sovereign, and Rousseau’s apparently more positive vision of naturally equal humans corrupted by the introduction of agriculture and metallurgy. However, the alternative Graeber and Wengrow offer –a world of imaginative and experimental humans freely choosing different forms of society– excessively downplays the political mediating role of non-human things. This move, in turn, is overly dependent on a modernist ontology that opposes free human thought to mechanically deterministic things. Drawing on the insights of Actor-Network Theory in particular, this article argues for the central role of inanimate objects in the political sphere.

This essay rethinks the concept of biocommunism by rearticulating it via a sensitivity towards individual suffering rather than the human species as a whole. The essay is divided into three parts. The first part outlines Marx’s concept of alienation because of the central role that the fourth kind of alienation plays in Dyer-Witheford’s original conception of biocommunism. The second part briefly elaborates on the discussion of species in the Kyoto School. These two parts lead to the third part, where a novel interpretation of biocommunism is outlined, focusing on individual suffering rather than the human species.

The article addresses the strange relationship between politics and philosophy, a relationship that is determined by peculiar asymmetries, by critically discussing the work of French anthropologist, Sylvan Lazarus. It demonstrates from a Hegelian perspective that philosophy is able to think that and what “politics thinks” in a historically singular way and thereby does not fall prey to the criticisms raised against it from the “thinking of politics in its interiority” (Lazarus).

After a brief reflection on the characteristics of the historiography of psychoanalysis in recent decades, this article aims to show certain dilemmas and/or debates that cross the psychoanalytic field both in the region and in the contemporary world. To this end, the focus will be placed on the campaign organized by Nina Krajnik in favor of the psychoanalytic clinic and against the theoretical psychoanalysis of Slavoj Žižek, Alenka Zupan?i? and Mladen Dolar. It is of particular interest to examine how Krajnik’s arguments are embedded in a broader project aiming both at an expansion of the World Association of Psychoanalysis (WAP) headed by Jacques- Alain Miller, and at obtaining a monopoly over psychoanalytic theory and its political effects. It will be shown that it is possible to find the first manifestations of this process in Latin America even before the WAP project. In this sense, based on the productions of Dolar, Zupancic and Žižek, some current contributions of the Slovenian school will be shown, which are taken up here in the light of the Latin American context, seeking to illuminate the theoretical, institutional, political, ideological and cultural implications of the domination and hegemony of the Millerian current in the psychoanalytic field. This logic of power, as will be seen, has not prevented the emergence and development of some radical and irreverent approaches which, nevertheless, seem to have failed: in some Latin American countries, such as Argentina, Millerian psychoanalysis managed to impose itself even more intensely than in France itself. This poses a challenge and a dilemma worthy of consideration and which must be taken up.

这篇文章是对报告背后的美学意识形态的理论贡献的评论，被理解为一种表述方式，其中内容和形式概念之间的对立是审美现代主义的组成部分。所涉及的两个理论发展是乔治·巴泰尔的《报告》（1929年）和T.W.阿多诺的《Vers une MusiqueInformelle》（1961年）中指出的。为了分析这两篇文章中最相关的论文，我们将对Burmatin Jay在他的现代主义散文《从形式中退缩》（1991年）中所采用的车站方法进行批判性阅读。
