Sin embargo, su definicion se ha relacionado tradicionalmente con ideas negativas como la debilidad, la pasividad o la susceptibilidad al abuso, que dan como resultado la victimizacion de los sujetos vulnerables. En este articulo se pretende reorientar la nocion de vulnerabilidad, entendiendola como un termino permeable y dinamico, que facilita la aproximacion etica entre individuos y ayuda a los grupos vulnerables a recuperar y aplicar su voluntad. Con esta aproximacion, en este articulo se analizan dos obras muy populares de Paula Hawkins: La chica del tren (2015) y Escrito en el agua (2017). Partiendo del concepto de los marcos epistemologicos de Judith Butler y de la aproximacion etica de Emmanuel Levinas, se analizan los personajes principales femeninos de las obras. Asi se reflexiona sobre la forma en la que se explota la vulnerabilidad de la mujer en sociedades occidentales actuales y se concluye que la vulnerabilidad puede usarse como herramienta de resistencia ante practicas patriarcales EnglishThe notion of vulnerability has been applied to diverse areas of knowledge, particularly in the last years. However, its denotation has been traditionally attached to negative ideas, such as weakness, passivity or susceptibility to abuse, which results in the victimisation of vulnerable subjects. In this article I aim to reorient the notion of vulnerability, understanding it as a permeable and dynamic term that facilitates the ethical encounter among individuals and that helps vulnerable subjects to regain agency. With this approach, two very popular novels are analysed: Paula Hawkins’s The Girl on the Train (2015), and Into the Water (2017). Drawing from Judith Butler’s notion of the epistemological frames and Emmanuel Levinas’s ethical encounter, the female leading characters of the novels are analysed. In this way, a reflection on the current ways of exploiting women’s vulnerability in contemporary west societies is provided. This leads to conclude that vulnerability can be used as a tool of resistance against patriarchal customs","PeriodicalId":384984,"journal":{"name":"Clepsydra.

Preciado calls «counter-sexual» clashes on principle with the political project of feminism. By counter-sexuality Preciado means the production of fictions and enjoyments that invert, subvert or recombine the fictions of the hegemonic heteronormative system, while by sexuality feminism –together with the World Health Organization– understands the vital and creative energy irreducible to socio-political or biological determinations. The current analysis will be strictly philosophical and will attempt to expose the radical incompatibility between the socio-linguistic antirealism of queer theories, constructivist in terms of gender and relativist on ethical-political matters, and the material neo-realism of feminism, articulated by complex, interactive, and integrated paradigms","PeriodicalId":384984,"journal":{"name":"Clepsydra.

This study was developed after a year of emergency remote teaching in Argentina in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The information was collected from a self-administered questionnaire answered by 1149 teachers at that level. The analysis shows significant gender differences in length of service, in the type of institution to which they belong, in the disciplinary areas where teachers work, in the perception of teachers about their own digital skills, in the experience of use and in the type of digital tools used to mediate teaching.","PeriodicalId":384984,"journal":{"name":"Clepsydra.
