| description | In October 2017, The New York Times and The New Yorker published dozens of sexual abuse allegations against American film producer and executive Harvey Weinstein for harassment, sexual abuse, and even harm. It was the beginning of the “Me too” movement, also known by its hashtag“#MeToo”, viralized through social networks by more than half a million people, including many celebrities. On March 11, 2020 Weinstein wassentenced to 23 years in prison. Harvey Weinstein had become famous in the 1980s when he founded the legendary company Miramax with hisbrother Bob. As a producer, Weinstein was the architect of great successes, such as Shakespeare in Love (1998), Gangs of New York (2002), Reservoir Dogs (1992), Pulp Fiction (1994), Smoke (1995), The English Patient (1996) -for which he obtained his first Academy Oscar-, Scream (1996),Inglourious Basterds (2009), The King’s Speech (2010), and The Artist (2011), among many others. The revelation of Wainstein’s scandalous sexualmisconduct, which motivated his expulsion from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, opened a debate on the seventh art, the logic ofthe market and the treatment of bodies in capitalism. This article by Jean-Claude Milner determines the deepest philosophical-analytical reflectionon the subject. Etica y Cine Journal publishes it for the first time in Spanish with the careful translation and notes of Valentín Huarte, as an essentialcontribution to a discussion that must remain open under any circumstances. |

En octubre de 2017, The New York Times y The New Yorker publicaron decenas de acusaciones de abuso sexual contra el productor cinematográfico y ejecutivo estadounidense Harvey Weinstein por acoso, abuso sexual e incluso violaciones. Fue el inicio del movimiento «Me Too», conocido también por su hashtag «#MeToo», viralizado a través de redes sociales por más de medio millón de personas, entre ellas muchas celebridades. El 11 de marzo de 2020 Weinstein fue sentenciado a 23 años de prisión. Harvey Weinstein se había hecho famoso en la década del 80 cuando junto a suhermano Bob fundaron la legendaria compañía Miramax. Como productor, Weinstein fue el artífice de grandes éxitos, como Shakespeare in Love (1998), Gangs of New York (2002), Reservoir Dogs (1992), Pulp Fiction (1994), Smoke (1995), El paciente inglés (1996) -por la que obtuvo su primer Óscar de la Academia-, Scream (1996), Inglourious Basterds (2009), El discurso del rey (2010), y The Artist (2011), entre muchas otros. La revelación de las escandalosas inconductas sexuales de Wainstein, que motivó su expulsión de la Academia de Artes y Ciencias Cinematográficas, abrió un debate sobre el séptimo arte, la lógica del mercado y el tratamiento de los cuerpos en el capitalismo. Este artículo de Jean-Claude Milner, constituye seguramente la reflexión filosófico-analítica más profunda sobre el tema. Etica y Cine Journal lo publica por primera vez en español con la cuidada traducción y notas de Valentín Huarte, como un imprescindible aporte a una discusión que debe permanecer abierta bajo cualquier circunstancia.
