        Ética aplicada

        Desde la medicina hasta el humor

        by Mauricio Correa Casanova y Adela Cortina

        Resulta indesmentible que hoy la realidad social exige a la filosofía moral comprometerse con la vida cotidiana. La ética aplicada configura una forma nueva de saber, de reflexionar sobre los problemas morales y de proponer recomendaciones para la acción. Empresas, servicios públicos, colegios profesionales o entidades sin fines de lucro, entre muchos otros, han incorporado los nuevos modos éticos de saber y hacer, y universidades de todo el mundo abordan este tema a través de cátedras, programas y centros de investigación. Este libro reúne una serie de trabajos sobre distintos ámbitos de la ética aplicada, como la ecología, la biomedicina, la empresa o la economía, que el lector común seguramente ya reconoce. Otros, en cambio, se presentan aquí con toda su novedad para situarnos ante desafíos inéditos en campos como la neuroética, el deporte, la ciudad y el humor. El principal objetivo es ofrecer a jóvenes y adultos, alumnos o profesores, funcionarios públicos o del mundo privado, perspectivas éticas en los más diversos ámbitos de la sociedad que contribuyan a encarnar la moralidad en la vida diaria, que es sin duda el real sentido de la ética aplicada. "La tarea de la razón práctica no consiste solo en enunciar lo que se debe hacer, sino también en tomar carne en las instituciones, transformándolas desde dentro. De ahí que la ética aplicada sea un elemento ineludible de cualquier diseño institucional que desee funcionar con bien, incluso lo es de cualquier proyecto de investigación que quiera recibir el visto bueno".

        Memoria y paisaje en el cine japonés de posguerra

        by Pedro Iacobelli y Claudia Lira

        La Segunda Guerra Mundial en Japón fue un evento único y transformador que implicó la reconstrucción física y espiritual del país. El paisaje —como categoría estética— y la memoria —como una entidad colectiva— son conceptos que permiten auscultar a los pueblos luego de crisis históricas profundas. En este sentido, la presente publicación examina las principales corrientes del cine japonés a partir de una lectura y análisis histórico y estético, e innova en la lectura de las sociedades poscrisis al incorporar una visión interdisciplinaria original. “No hay nación cuyo sentido del tiempo y del espacio se mantengan invariables después de una catástrofe fundamental. El cine de posguerra de Japón, a través del desarrollo estético de sus identidades espaciales y temporales, conjuga poéticamente las nociones de trauma, origen e identidad. Los minuciosos escritos que reúne este libro analizan ese corpus fílmico en torno a los conceptos de memoria y paisaje, pero no solo como tipificación de argumentos, elementos de drama o iconografías, sino especialmente como ideas audiovisuales de la conciencia moderna en crisis, forma que desde occidente o desde nuestra periferia contemplamos con una extrañeza familiar”.
