From TRAZOS. Revista de Estudiantes de Filosofía invites those who wish to participate in a special issue, dedicated to multiple approaches that are located on the horizon of posthumanist thought, a philosophical current that has its starting point in the crisis of humanism and its modern concept of Man, as a self-referential, autonomous and determining subject of existence. This way of being was outlined in clear opposition to the "animal form of life", condemned to the field of instincts and reaction (González, 2018). However, since the end of the 20th century, posthumanism, as well as Critical Animal Studies, cyberfeminism, biopolitical studies and the "philosophy of plant life", have questioned those thresholds that allowed establishing a taxonomy of subordination of the living, functional limits to various devices of domination, subjection and extermination of non-human life forms. In these coordinates, alternative figurations emerged to imagine multiple and irreducible particular ways of inhabiting the shared world: the notions of animot, cyborg, species in company, becoming-animal, becoming-vegetable, herd, multispecies alliances, monstrosity and abnormality make this evident. Thus, the challenge of thinking of non-human, inhuman or post-human worlds opens up, beyond the thresholds between culture/nature, civilized/savage, man/machine, human/animal, and, ultimately, between the human and the non-human.

From the Comité Editorial de Trazos we invite students to think from our Dossier section entitled: “Political Philosophy: social outbursts”, politics from philosophy (or , rather philosophy from politics), because: can you conceive of something that escapes the political dimension? Is there an instance of emptiness in which the political has no place?

We believe that literary activity is a matter worthy of attracting philosophical interest, since between philosophy and literature we find a constant and reciprocal relationship. Philosophy embellishes literature with its gifts of depth and sharpness of thought, and, in turn, makes use of the stylistic beauty that literature provides. In this way, we find that these disciplines are not far away nor have they always been at a distance, but that both converge at a meeting point: writing.

Movies seem to have a fantastic ability to put us in check without saying a word. It makes us say, give meaning to that spectral sequence of images that, if they have them, seem to be fleeting. We ask ourselves, then, about a possible relationship between the philosophical exercise and the filmic exercise. What ways do we have of watching cinema? What can we do with the contribution made by film productions? What does a film do to us when we see it? What replicas does it leave in our bodies? Are we talking about a discipline and an art? Can we continue to think of cinema as art or is it that the film industry has devoured the artistic? These are just a few approaches taken from the inexhaustible possibility of thinking, questioning, perceiving that thing with diffuse limits, but definitely powerful that is cinema.

From the Comité Editorial de TRAZOS- Revista de Estudiantes de Filosofía we consider it necessary to make visible philosophies that slip from the strict rigor and delimitation that every canon establishes. That is why we bet on crossing limits and beginning to be an echo of those hidden voices (or minor ones, as academic thinking hopefully recognizes them) that live under the veil of the “fundamental” questions of philosophy. Because at the end of the day, isn't thinking from the margins also doing philosophy?

We suspect that out of the cave of classical readings and the classical proposals there is a sea of ​​interpretations, of rebellious writings that invite us endless new questions of which we feel intriguedxs to know. Will there be someone written something about those topics that seem irreconcilable? What planes can draw those little mentioned perspectives? What do those echoes that reach us from the margins say?

As good lovers of strangeness, we ask ourselves: What happens to art? What happens to us when a sound, a dance, a poem, and why not, a simple moment, reaches us? Is it the same after listening to that extraordinary trumpeter? Is it the same after a passion does its thing with/in us? To what transformations does the artistic impel us? Are there rules for beauty? We see a madman reciting poems at dawn, without an iota of sanity, and we think, Is art medicine? Is art a possible way of life? The answers do not matter, we are left with the doubts and we invite you to multiply them.

This time we propose in the Dossier section: “The Philosophy-Education relationship, from student perspectives”. The proposal arises in order to promote reflection, production and exchange of experiences around the problems that happen to us in our role as university students.
