The eternal return, as seen from Nietzsche´s pessimistic viewpoint, dominates the temporality of small provincial cities represented in his novels and essays: the notion of Progress has disappeared. Monotonous repetition of the same rites and practices dominates this space. For Azorín, when faced with this nihilistic landscape, subjects with intellectual concerns must find their place in the world through the modest enjoyment of small pleasures, those that arise from objects and everyday experiences, symbols of the “national soul”. This is the action plan of small philosophy. Its literary formulation is channeled through the aesthetic of rest, which describes silence, stillness, the paused pace of activities and steady beat of the bells in these social spaces.Ítem City and Poetry: The Stage and Language(2014-01-30 00:00:00) Boccanera, JorgeThe author explores the relation between city and poetry, regarding to contents of the urban landscape that inspire poetic creation.

The city has served well to inspire the work of poets such as Lorca, Hemingway and Borges.Ítem The Gaze in Leopoldo Lugones’ “Los ojos de la reina”: A Fragmented Reading(2014-01-30 00:00:00) Longan Phillips, Shirley“Los ojos de la reina” by Leopoldo Lugones deals with the strange death of Mr. Neale Skinner; all evidence leads toward Sha-it-Athor, The Lady of the Gaze, a beautiful Egyptian who is the reincarnation of Queen Hatshepsut.

It was filled with prejudice, stereotypes and reproduced an androcentric rhetoric which converted the sexual differences of women into inequality and inferiority. In this inquiry the sexual differentiation is valued as complementary and rich as it allows the staging of languages and knowledge previously despised, invisible and annulled during centuries. To think about half of humanity in these times means rejecting the univocal and identical history which hid the experiences of women, to tell them without intermediates and interpreters prone to institutionalized history.Ítem The Contemporary and the Crisis of Empirical Reality: Theoretical Confrontations(2014-01-30 00:00:00) Rodríguez Jiménez, LedaThis article plunges itself into de contemporary to examine its implications by exploring and confronting different theoretical and philosophical positions. Of whom or what are we contemporaneous to? What is the meaning of the concept nowadays? It seems that one of the essential characteristics emerges with and due the unstoppable proliferation of Media. This situation has deeply eroded the concepts of reality and subjectivity. Reality –viewed from the microscope sphere, aesthetic theory in connection with its alleged antithetical pair: fiction- as well as subjectivity –from cogito to the contemporary Media Societies- are all grounds for reflection proposed throughout the article.Ítem Democracy, Power and Minorities in Bertrand Russell(2014-01-30 00:00:00) Carvajal Villaplana, ÁlvaroThis article offers an analysis of democracy as taming of the power, according Bertrand Russell (Power, 1938).
