<p>This article analyses the situation of solidarity economy in Mexico. The work is structured in five sections in which the reality of these economic alternatives, which aspire to become effective tools to fight against poverty and exclusion, is examined from different analytical axes that provide knowledge about their different conceptual and practical approaches; on the legal framework that protects it in Mexico and the public resources assigned for its promotion, as well as the potential and limitations that the network of solidarity economy has in Mexico. This work concludes with a brief conclusion of the challenges it faces.</p><p><strong>Received</strong>: 30 July 2017<br /><strong>Accepted</strong>: 18 October 2017<br /><strong>Published online</strong>: 31 January 2018</p>

PurposeBizkaia, an area of just over one million inhabitants, is the setting, through the xertatu project, of an experience for fostering corporate social responsibility (CSR). This document seeks to analyze the xertatu project as a local response to a new form of governance, identifying the lessons learned in its development.Design/methodology/approachThis paper focuses its analysis on a clear understanding of the need to combine not only the activities of the various organizations operating in this field in Bizkaia, but also the intentions of the agents involved, in order to shed light on the shared responsibility business has with society at large in this region.FindingsThe aggregation of agents, interests and capabilities, together with a methodology of research – collective action, is suitable for fostering social responsibility in companies.Originality/valueThe analysis of CSR as a new understanding of the role of business in collaborative governance, that is, as an active agent of an enabling governing style that furthermore assumes its joint responsibility with all the other agents for social cohesion and development, usually tends to lack a local and regional perspective and, therefore, the schemes that favor its implementation, whereby it could become a testing ground and benchmark for other regions.

Cerraba esta reseña los últimos días del mes de septiembre con la mente puesta en el referéndum catalán del domingo 1 de octubre. Intentaba argumentar sobre la necesidad de cuestionar nuestro acomodo a la confusión y el nivel del debate público sobre la política. El desenlace de los acontecimientos me hizo recordar estas palabras que Kant escribió, con un optimismo conmovedor, en el siglo xviii: <em>Si el género humano retrocediera y acelerase su caída hacia lo peor, no debe perderse la esperanza de que encuentre un punto de inflexión en su camino, donde nuestra especie vire de nuevo hacia lo mejor merced a la disposición moral depositada en ella.</em><p><strong>Published online</strong>: 31 January 2018</p>

This article asks about the current modes of production in human rights research and how they are (or may be) determined by the structures where that knowledge is generated. These questions will be answered by looking at the results of a preliminary study on the reception and subsequent institutionalisation of studies on human rights in stable structures that are dedicated to their research, training and dissemination in Spanish universities. The starting hypothesis is that this institutionalisation causes conceptual, epistemological and methodological biases in the rationales for knowledge construction in the field of human rights that determine and hinder the interdisciplinary approach demanded by its study. Interdisciplinarity has become a dominant aspect of human rights research. The question about how this feature is articulated and who articulates it in the academic institutional framework is pertinent in a field of knowledge that cannot avoid asymmetries in the production and circulation of knowledge. The results show that human rights research has been mainly institutionalised in stable university structures in Spain within the field of legal sciences, with a clear predominance of the area of the Philosophy of Law. It can be concluded that this has been conditioned by the reception and subsequent development of the study of human rights in Spain. While it has been found that the line developed by these centres and research groups has been consolidated and recognised, it can also be confirmed that their modes of knowledge production do not match the rationale of interdisciplinary research. These limitations are not just endogenous. There are some features of Spanish institutional R&D&i culture that make interdisciplinary research on human rights difficult.

RESUMEN: El artículo analiza los puntos de encuentro del pensamiento de María Zambrano con la «Le-bensphilosophie», concepto bajo el que se reúnen diferentes corrientes filosóficas surgidas en Alemania y Francia en el siglo XIX, y de la cual Unamuno es considerado uno de sus máximos representantes en España, conjuntamente con Ortega y Gasset. Algunos rasgos de la «Lebensphilosophie» están presentes en algunas categorías del pensamiento de María Zambrano. La primera parte de este trabajo aborda esta cuestión y se detiene, en segundo lugar, en su noción de piedad que, en su obra, queda definida como un saber de trato específico con la realidad, con lo diferente, con el misterio. La autora va descifrando el sentido de su noción de piedad a través de continuas referencias a la herencia de una dilatada cosmovisión religiosa y en su despliegue se pone de manifiesto su estrecha relación con algunas de las principales motivaciones y preocupaciones intelectuales de la «Lebensphilosophie».PALABRAS CLAVE: María Zambrano; piedad; Lebensphilosophie; misterio; sentir; formas de participación creadora con la realidad. Traits of «Lebensphilosophie» in the Thought of María ZambranoABSTRACT: The article analyses the common points between the thought of María Zambrano and the so called «Lebensphilosophie», a concept that brings together different philosophical trends emerged in Germany and France in the nineteenth century, and among whose most prominent representatives in Spain were Unamuno and Ortega y Gasset. Some of the traits of «Lebensphilosophie» can also be found in Maria Zambrano, particularly in some of her central categories of thought. The first part of this work addresses this issue; the second part focuses on her notion of piety, which is defined in her work as a knowledge referred to a specific vision of reality, of what is different and of mystery. The author deciphers the meaning of piety according to her notion through repeated references to the legacy of an expanded religious worldview. In this display, a close relationship with some of the main motivations and intellectual concerns of «Lebensphilosophie» is revealed.KEY WORDS: María Zambrano; piety; Lebensphilosophie; mystery; feeling; forms of creative involvement with reality. INTERSECCIONES ENTRE EL PENSAMIENTO DE MARÍA ZAMBRANO Y LA LEBENSPHILOSOPHIELos estudios sobre María Zambrano han insistido en la necesidad de situar su obra en unas líneas de comprensión adecuadas con el fin de «precisar el lugar de Zambrano en el pensamiento europeo del siglo XX» 1 y «dejar claro el sentido de las múltiples comparaciones que se pueden establecer con otros pensamientos» 2 .
