This article looks at the 'public' 'place' of drama in Britain at present by offering an analysis of a contemporary version of an ancient Greek play by Aeschylus, entitled The Suppliant Women, written by David Greig, directed by Ramin Gray, and first performed at the Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh in 2016. Following an agonistic (Chantal Mouffe), rather than a consensual (Jürgen Habermas) model of the public sphere, it argues that under globalisation, three cumulative and interwoven senses of the public sphere, the discursive, the spatial, and the individual and his/her/their relation to a larger form of organisation, despite persisting hegemonic structures that perpetuate their containment, have become undone. This is the kind of unbounded model of public sphere Greig's version of Aeschylus' The Suppliant Women seems to suggest by precisely offering undoings of discourses, spaces, and individualisations. In order to frame the first kind of undoing, that is, the unmarking of theatre as contained, the article uses Christopher Balme's notion of 'open theatrical public sphere', and in order to frame the second, that is, the undoing of elements 'in' Greig's version, the article utilises Greig's concept of 'constructed space'. The article arrives then at the notion of the open constructed public sphere in relation to The Suppliant Women. By engaging with this porous model of the public sphere, The Suppliant Women enacts a protest against exclusionary, reductive models of exchange and organisation, political engagement, and belonging under globalisation.
Con relación al problema del cambio climático, la humanidad enfrenta hoy un reto muy grande: alcanzar un equilibrio razonable entre emisiones de CO2 producidas por el consumo de energía, y la capacidad de secuestro de los sumideros de carbono del planeta. Este reto, también concierne a las instituciones educativas, las cuales, además de generar conocimiento, deben predicar con el ejemplo ante la sociedad. Sin embargo, las acciones desde el aspecto ambiental se han omitido o cuando mucho, se han quedado en letra muerta; ya que, en la planta física de las instituciones educativas es escasa la evidencia de acciones concretas que hablen de un verdadero compromiso de Responsabilidad social universitaria. El presente trabajo de investigación tiene la finalidad de evaluar la planta física de una institución de educación superior, respecto al problema del calentamiento global por medio del análisis de las emisiones de CO2 del consumo eléctrico y la consideración del potencial de secuestro de los árboles de limón, para aportar al diseño de políticas que contribuyan a la conformación de una planta física ambientalmente más responsable. Se determinó que, por cada 1 M2 de área útil, deben existir 0.9 M2 de áreas verdes forestadas con árboles de limón; de igual forma, debe existir una compensación mínima del CO2 emitido en la siguiente proporción: por cada 1 M2 de área útil, deben existir como mínimo, 0.13 M2 de áreas verdes reforestadas con limón.
