Synopsis "Ciudadelas de la Soberbia (in Spanish)"

Martha C. Nussbaum, reconocida por su elocuencia y su clara visión moral, muestra cómo el abuso y el acoso sexual derivan del uso de las personas como cosas en beneficio propio. Al igual que otras formas de explotación, estos comportamientos están arraigados en el desagradable sentimiento del orgullo.

La autora denuncia la existencia de tres «Ciudadelas de la soberbia» desde cuya cúspide los hombres todavía acaparan el poder: el poder judicial, las artes y los deportes.

En Ciudadelas de la soberbia, Nussbaum analiza cómo dicho orgullo perpetúa el abuso sexual sistémico, el narcisismo y la masculinidad tóxica. El coraje de muchos ha provocado algunas reformas, pero la justicia sigue siendo esquiva, pervertida a veces por el dinero, el poder o la inercia, y también por un deseo colectivo de venganza.

Al examinar los efectos de la ley y las políticas públicas en la definición de la violencia sexual, Nussbaum aclara cómo las brechas legales permiten, en muchas ocasiones, que esta violencia prolifere, y de qué manera dichas fisuras deben complementarse con una comprensión de las emociones distorsionadas que generan el abuso. Explica también por qué la ira y la venganza rara vez logran un cambio duradero.

Ciudadelas de la soberbia ofrece una acusación contundente contra la cultura del poder masculino que aísla a los abusadores de la responsabilidad. Sin embargo, Nussbaum propone un camino esperanzador: un futuro en el que, a medida que las víctimas se movilizan para contar sus historias y las instituciones buscan una reforma justa y matizada, podamos reconocer plenamente la igual dignidad de todas las personas.

Martha Craven Nussbaum (New York, USA, 1947) studied at her hometown university and earned a PhD in Law and Ethics at Harvard in 1975. Founder and coordinator of the Center for Comparative Constitutionalism, she is currently the Ernst Freund Distinguished Service Professor of Law and Ethics at the Department of Philosophy, the Law School, and the Divinity School at the University of Chicago, after having taught at Harvard, Brown, and Oxford.

Considered one of the most innovative and influential philosophical voices in the current landscape and a defender of the role of the humanities in education, Nussbaum advocates in her work a universal conception of women's rights that can overcome the limits of cultural relativism. Her theories start from the conviction that people who understand the good differently can agree on some universal ethical principles that are applicable wherever there is a situation of inequality and injustice. She has also proposed a constitutional and political framework respectful of local traditions and institutions that can be translated into political objectives in specific contexts, laying the groundwork for ethically justifying development aid.

Between 1986 and 1993, she was a research advisor at the World Institute for Development Economics Research (Helsinki, Finland), which is part of the United Nations University. She has chaired the Committee for International Cooperation and the Committee on the Status of Women, both of the American Philosophical Association. She has been a member of the Council of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the American Council of Learned Societies Union.
