  • Entre Los Principios Y Los Fines. Ética Y Estética En El Episodio El Tirano De La Serie House
    RMC Original JMM ISSN electrónico: 1885-5210 DOI: https://doi.org/10.14201/rmc2020163155163 ENTRE LOS PRINCIPIOS Y LOS FINES. ÉTICA Y ESTÉTICA EN EL EPISODIO EL TIRANO DE LA SERIE HOUSE Between principles and purposes. Ethics and aesthetics in the episode The Tyrant of the House M. D. Series Ignacio GAZTAKA EGUSKIZA Universidad del País Vasco (UPV/EHU) (España). e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Fecha de recepción: 26 de octubre de 2019 Fecha de aceptación: 28 de noviembre de 2019 Fecha de publicación: 15 de septiembre de 2020 Resumen Este artículo profundiza en los acontecimientos narrados en el cuarto episodio de la sexta temporada de la serie House M.D. (título en inglés, en España es conocida comoHouse o Dr. House). En él, el Doctor Chase se ve en el dilema de tratar a un dictador africano. Por un lado, el juramento hipocrático al que está ligado le obliga a sanar a su paciente, sin embargo, su moral individual lo empuja a tomar una decisión fatal. Y es que en eso estriba la peculiaridad ética de esta narración, en el choque de actitudes que codifican lo que se considera «el deber». Entre los principios y los fines, es el territorio en el que Chase se encuentra perdido. Una tierra de nadie que atormenta al profesional de la medicina, en general, y al Doctor Chase, en particular. El análisis cinematográfico dilucidará las claves éticas (temas) y estéticas (estrategias narrativas) de esta obra. El demiurgo que controla los aconteceres de la narración decide que el doctor tome el bando de los fines, aunque eso no signifique que sea lo correcto.

  • On the Tyrant
    Bartolus of Saxoferrato On the Tyrant Translated from: Diego Quaglioni, ed. 1983. Politica e diritto nel Trecento italiano. Il ‘De tyranno’ di Bartolo da Sassoferrato (1314–1357) con l’edizione critica dei trattati ‘De guelphis et gebellinis,’ ‘De regimine civitatis’ e ‘De tyranno.’ Il pensiero politico, Biblioteca 11. Florence: Leo S. Olschki Editore, 175–213.1 [1] Because2 I have already laboured for a long time over many tracts, deal- ing with the sweetest materials, which render body, heart, and soul entirely mellifluous (saporosam), I am so full of a sweet taste that I have dared not ap- proach the harshnesses, the difficulties, and the tribulations, especially since I see that tyrannical perfidy is extending its strength. Still, having trusted in 3 the protection of that mercy, which makes eloquent the tongues of infants—nay, Sap. 10:21 4 even makes them shine openly for the nations, I do dare take up (with the cf. Ex. 40:33; Ps. 76:19; help of divine aid) the so severe and horrendous subject matter of tyrannical Ps. 143:6 depravity, not so that I derive any joy or solace from it, but so that all are able to rid themselves completely of the tie and noose of that horrendous wickedness, namely, tyrannical servitude; from this austere and immoderate magisterium God delivers (liberet) us; he conserves us in our own holy, good, and perfect tranquility; ⟦and⟧ he makes us be found (colletari) in the sweetness of liberty. 1. Editorial interventions are marked by ⟨angle brackets⟩, while my own are put in ⟦double square brackets⟧.

  • 'The House Is Hers, the Soul Is but a Tenant': Material Self-Fashioning
    Early Theatre 12.2 (2009) SHeetal LodHia ‘The house is hers, the soul is but a tenant’: Material Self- Fashioning and Revenge Tragedy In Thomas Middleton’s The Maiden’s Tragedy, the Lady, object of interest for Govianus and the Tyrant, appears on stage as a ghost together with her corpse.1 Indeed, the Lady appears twice with her corpse. She first appears as a ghost dressed in her virginal burial garb with a crucifix, while her corpse has been bedecked in a different elaborate dress and jewels; the stage direc- tions prior to her entrance read, ‘Enter the Ghost of the Lady, as she was / Last seen, standing just before him all in white, stuck with / Jewels, and with a great crucifix on her breast’ (4.5.43). The Lady’s second appearance on stage is even more fraught, since she next appears on stage as a ghost dressed in the very same garb as her corpse: ‘Enter the Ghost of the Lady, dressed in the same form as her body in the chair’ (5.2.143). For many scholars this instance follows a prevailing motif of revenge tragedies, in which ghosts and corpses problema- tize ‘playing dead’.2 Playing dead, however, is not merely a staging issue, though performance of a single character in two simultaneous but separate locations is a legitim- ate concern, both metaphysical and staging, since playing dead also poses eschatological and ontological challenges to neoplatonism, stoicism, and Christian theology, frameworks within which many Jacobean and revenge plays are conceived. Where most readings of ghosts and corpses on stage rely on a Christian, neoplatonic, and stoic notion of the body’s unity with the soul, in which the soul governs the body and the body is a mere vessel for the soul, I argue that The Maiden’s Tragedy, The Revenger’s Tragedy, and The Duchess of Malfi all participate in a larger trend of the early modern period in which the body is progressively evacuated of the spirit.

  • FAITH in POP CULTURE Religious Representation on Television
    Powell 1 1Nss1Do7n7Ei/R 0/ 8 M&91O S2DO4E3C2LI0EI3NT2GY5 9 W/1 F3Oe3bRrKuary 2004 FAITH IN POP CULTURE Religious Representation on Television JARED POWELL University of Kansas Abstract This study is concerned with the presence of religion and religious characters in contemporary popular culture, specifically which groups receive media attention and in what ways they are portrayed. After a careful review of studies in media, religion, and culture, American television is analyzed with a focus on the Fox medical drama House. Using both quantitative and qualitative data found in 155 episodes, the author argues that the world‐renowned television show implicitly holds an agnostic view on religious matters, leaving interpretation up to the audience. Despite many characters that are religious, atheist, or ambiguous about their beliefs, a sense of uncertainty and a lack of specificity appear to promote this idea. Caricaturizing specific beliefs and using them as plot devices also helps to hide religious representation in plain sight. Findings suggest that American popular culture has a tendency to target the broadest possible audience with regard to religiosity by presenting the most basic representation of various views without promoting any single standpoint. More research must be done to further the understanding of how religion is represented via worldwide media and how it is received by consumers. Powell 2 In an age of diverse religious plurality and global media popularity, a few questions must be asked: how do the realms of faith and popular culture intersect, intertwine, interact? How are those in power using our most complex and subtle cultural tools to construct images of differing worldviews? Religious institutions often serve as sources of social pedagogy, but the media does this as well ‐ with the additional power of teaching us how to think about other pedagogical forces (such as religion, philosophy, and academic institutions).

  • DE REGNO on KINGSHIP to the KING of CYPRUS by Thomas Aquinas to the KING of CYPRUS [1] As I Was Turning Over in My Mind What
    DE REGNO ON KINGSHIP TO THE KING OF CYPRUS by Thomas Aquinas TO THE KING OF CYPRUS [1] As I was turning over in my mind what I might present to Your Majesty as a gift at once worthy of Your Royal Highness and befitting my profession and office, it seemed to me a highly appropriate offering that, for a king, I should write a book on kingship, in which, so far as my ability permits, I should carefully expound, according to the authority of Holy Writ and the teachings of the philosophers as well as the practice of worthy princes, both the origin of kingly government and the things which pertain to the office of a king, relying for the beginning, progress and accomplishment of this work, on the help of Him, Who is King of Kings, Lord of Lords, through Whom kings rule, God the Mighty Lord, King great above all gods. BOOK ONE CHAPTER 1 WHAT IS MEANT BY THE WORD ‘KING’ [2] The first step in our undertaking must be to set forth what is to be understood by the term king. [3] In all things which are ordered towards an end, wherein this or that course may be adopted, some directive principle is needed through which the due end may be reached by the most direct route. A ship, for example, which moves in different directions. according to the impulse of the changing winds, would never reach its destination were it not brought to port by the skill of the pilot. Now, man has an end to which his whole life and all his actions are ordered; for man is an intelligent agent, and it is clearly the part of an intelligent agent to act in view of an end.
