Philosophy Flash
Teresa Marques will give a short talk at the Philosophy Flash event during the Philosophy Festival in Barcelona, November, 19 2014, on social construction. Title and abstract (in Spanish) below:
La Construcción Social de Hechos Reales
¿Existen cosas, o hechos, que hayan sido construidos socialmente? Sí:
por ejemplo, ser un profesor de universidad, o un partido de fútbol: hay
normas y reglas, costumbres y prácticas sociales sin las cuales esos
tipos de cosas o hechos no existirían. ¿Y hay tipos de cosas o hechos
reales que parezcan *naturales*, pero sean también construcciones sociales? Hay
quien defiende que ser una mujer o ser negro, o tener algunas
enfermedades mentales, son construcciones sociales. En esta charla
defenderé esta idea de algunas objeciones.
