Abstract

The great speeches of the twentieth century faced a deep crisis and, according to the apostles of postmodernity, no longer govern the world. Marxism transvestite itself of neo-Marxism and lost its revolutionary charm. Structuralism had to give way to less laboratorial and more pragmatic analyzes. Psychoanalysis, attacked by neuroscience and the drugs of artificial happiness, may still be an interesting diagnostic tool, but it seems fragile as a therapeutic activity. Darwinism, even if it announces the overcoming of the eternal dispute nature × culture, in the name of a Solomonic synthesis, has not yet established itself as a major key to understanding man and society. Of all the discourses of modernity, perhaps what still retains greater political and academic strength is feminism. The reasons are pointed out in the interview with Aimée Vega Montiel, who opens this Revista Famecos.
