TY - JOUR A1 - Carlà-Uhink, Filippo A1 - García Morcillo, Marta T1 - Problemas y desafíos de la investigación histórica sobre la corrupción BT - la República romana JF - Eunomía : Revista en Cultura de la Legalidad N2 - El artículo analiza la corrupción como un fenómeno complejo y con frecuencia ambiguo, relacionado con comportamientos y mentalidades individuales y colectivas, que son percibidos como ilegítimos o inmorales y, por lo tanto, desviados de normas establecidas. Más allá de un acercamiento reduccionista u objetivista a lugares comunes de la corrupción política, o a delitos tipificados por la ley, esta contribución pretende destacar la relevancia del análisis histórico del discurso en el estudio del tema. Este enfoque nos permite reconstruir contextos en los que se identifica la corrupción, así como analizar relatos, no siempre unánimes, sobre estas prácticas. El trabajo se adentra en una época lejana, pero a la vez cercana a nuestro tiempo, el último siglo la República romana. La evidencia nos permite evaluar críticamente aspectos fundamentales de la construcción retórica de la corrupción y de sus zonas grises, como la distinción, a menudo borrosa, entre regalo y soborno. N2 - The article analyses corruption as a complex, often ambiguous, phenomenon linked to individual and collective behaviors and mentalities that are perceived as illegitimate or immoral, and thus as deviated from established norms. Beyond reductionist and objectivist approaches to common places of political corruption, or to typified criminal acts, this contribution seeks to highlight the importance of historical discourse analysis for the study of the topic. This approach permits to reconstruct contexts in which corruption is identified, as well as analyse multisided discourses about such practices. This piece proposes an insight into a remote period, yet in some respects also close to us, the last century of the Roman Republic. The available evidence allows to critically evaluate fundamental aspects of the rhetoric construction of corruption and its grey -zones, such as the sometimes - blurred distinction between gift and bribery.

JF - Con-Textos Kantianos : international journal of philosophy N2 - What is it that we encountered with in our aesthetic experience of natural beauty? Does nature "figuratively speaks to us in its beautiful forms", 2 to use Kant's phrasing in the third Critique, or is it merely our way of interpreting nature whether this be its purpose or not? Kant does not answer these questions directly. Rather, he leaves the ambiguity around them by his repeated use of terminology of ciphers when it comes to our aesthetic experience in nature. This paper examines Kant's terminology of ciphers in the Critique of Judgment and demonstrate through it the intimate link aesthetic experience in natural beauty has with human morality. A link whose culmination point is embodied in the representation of beauty as a symbol of morality.

The increasing global interest in touring poor urban environments is accompanied by a strong morally charged debate; so far, this debate has not been critically addressed. This article avoids asking if slum tourism is good or bad, but instead seeks a second-order observation, i.e. to investigate under what conditions the social praxis of slum tourism is considered as good or bad, by processing information on esteem or dis-esteem among tourists and tour providers. Special attention is given to any relation between morality and place, and the thesis posited is that the moral charging of slum tourism is dependent on the presence of specific preconceived notions of slums and poverty. This shall be clarified by means of references to two empirical case studies carried out in (1) Cape Town in 2007 and 2008 and (2) Mumbai in 2009.
