Summary
Silvia Federici articulates everything that inhabits everyday life, the naturalized, the invisible, and not only brings a political perspective to what is familiar to us, but also encourages us to imagine what kind of transformations can arise from that space. With this work, we pretend to analyze the Italoamerican feminists reflections on reproductive labor and the possibilities of articulating a politics of the commons based on it. Using as a starting point the feminist critique of Marx and reviewing many notions from the classical Marxist framework, we will explore how Federici points to the centrality of domestic work in the process of capitalist accumulation, as well as to the construction of alternatives that might be able to contain this process. We will see that the author and activist concrete proposal lies in the construction of a politics of the commons that manages not only to modify the system, but also our subjectivities and relationships. By always placing reproduction and everyday life at the center of her politics, Federici sees the commons as a basis for anti-capitalist resistance and a glimpse of a new way of life and society.

Summary
This work explores various ways, both from normative ethics and from practical approaches, to incorporate an intergenerational dimension into ethical theory. In other words, it seeks to provide ethics with a temporal perspective, addressing the tensions between improving the lives of current individuals and creating new individuals with happy lives. To this end, the study draws on different ethical conceptions such assymmetricutilitarianism, antinatalism, suffering-centered ethics, as well as deontological and contractualist perspectives, among others. The practical dimension of this issue is also examined through real-world examples and case studies, along with potential applications of the intergenerational perspective in public policies and other relevant contexts.

Summary
The present work tries to circumscribe an approach to the consideration of the prenotion of destiny in the archiclassical period (VIII century BC / V century BC), from the reading and thematization of the Promethean myths of Hesiod and Aeschylus. For this purpose, we have presented the dimension of mythology in Greek religion, as well as to understand the meaning of the prenotions of moira and aranké. The consequent argumentative move will be that of the deepening of the thematization of the episodes, so that we can understand the prenotions in the textual sense in which they appear. Ultimately, we have collected three ways from which an interpretation of the prenotionts is possible, daring in the end to give an account of our own way of interpreting them.

Summary
This work aims to showcase dance as a means of communication that allows the emotions, sensations, and experiences that shape the being, presence, and understanding of the world of those who dance to emerge. To this end, we first attempt to answer the question about the definition of dance, which highlights the radical importance of the human body as a way of existing in the world. Through the analysis of contemporary dance works, we seek to highlight the freedom of bodily movement as a tool for the artistic expression of the dancer's intimacy and subjectivity, making visible the breadth of communication in dance.

Summary
The installation of Altri sets in motion a series of arguments aimed at convincing the population to either approve or disapprove of the establishment of this industry. The analysis of these discourses is presented as a way to determine whether the resources used by the parties are appropriate or if they fail to provide a solid foundation for constructing a discourse that meets the requirements of informal logic.

Summary
This paper will analyse the role played by Mendelssohn and Lessing in the recovery of Spinoza's philosophy. Mendelssohn, although he rejected the Spinozian system, claimed the figure of the “accursed philosopher” as a necessary moment in the history of philosophy. Without Spinoza, Leibniz would not have been able to develop his own philosophy. As for Lessing, he was the greatest representative of the Aufklärung until his death, and his possible Spinozism was discussed by the thinkers of the time, putting Spinoza at the centre of the philosophical debate. Even today there is still debate about Lessing's position, as there are a number of important overlaps between his philosophy and that of Spinoza.

Summary
In this essay I will consider the film spectator question as a radical one in philosophy about cinema. To show this, I will analyze some of the most important theories in this field, emphasizing in how each one of these hypothesis articulates a different vision in cinema based in the spectator model it defends. Also, it will to my concern that this implications are extended to political views. Precisely about that political dimension, I will consider that the spectator is a political subject already given before the viewing experience, and that the task of the film producers consists in fixing who is going to be the concrete spectator of a film. I argue in the essay that the viewer is an active subject because watching a film moves her to make a specific decision that she would not make without seeing the film. This idea is defended on the basis of an analysis of various cinematographic traditions

Summary
This Final Degree Thesis explores the category of liquid modernity developed by Zygmunt Bauman as an interpretative key to understand the socio-cultural transformations of contemporary capitalism. In a context of deinstitutionalization, vital precariousness and extreme individualization, Bauman proposes a concept that describes the progressive dissolution of the stable frameworks that governed our society (family, State, work, community) by virtue of a search for individual identity through consumption. Throughout the work, a critical dialogue is established between Bauman's work and referents of critical philosophical thought such as Marx, Lukács, Adorno, Horkheimer, Polanyi and Marcuse, pointing out conceptual continuities and ruptures. In addition, important limits in its approach are identified, especially regarding the omission of the gender issue and the ecological dimension, which constitute structural problems of our time. To this end, contributions from materialist feminism (Fraser, Federici) and political ecologism (Latour) are incorporated, as well as critiques from liberalism and libertarianism (Berlin, Nozick) that problematize the baumanian conception of freedom. In short, the work not only intends to expose Bauman's theses, but also to stress and expand them, inquiring into the conditions of possibility for forms of subjectivity, link and political action that radically overcome the mercantile logic based on liquidity.

Summary
The following essay attempts to present the issue of multiculturalism and how the coexistence of numerous ways of life raises questions related to respect for difference. In the West, an universalist approach is often adopted, reducing political debate to questions of the proper distribution of resources. Following primarily Iris Marion Young, I expose the limitations of this universalist conception, as well as the reduction of political debate to questions of distribution. I then present several alternatives. These are, first, a communicative politic, which I present using the work of Iris Marion Young, but also that of Nancy Fraser and Bhikuh Parekh. Second, I present the debate between redistribution and recognition through the work of Nancy Fraser and Axel Honneth, and, indirectly, through Iris Marion Young. Finally, I comment on a set of questions that are open, in the sense that they have no definitive solution. As the last section suggests, multiculturalism offers many debates and invites investigation into numerous perspectives and options. Here I will introduce some of the most notable ones
