Practices of Writing in Ethnographic Work
2020
Although the practice of writing is key to the production of ethnographic knowledge, the topic remains understudied. Using material from our own ethnographic research in the fields of air travel and cultural heritage as data, we develop a reflexive account of ethnographic writing. We examine in detail the practices of jotting down observations, writing field notes, analytic annotating, ordering and rearranging, and drafting and revising papers. The article takes a praxeological stance, conceptualizing writing as a practice that is simultaneously cognitive, embodied, and material. Our analysis finds that writing influences and shapes all stages of ethnographic work, from orienting perception…
Schelling, esotericism and the meaning of life
2019
Abstract F.W.J. Schelling argues in his middle period work Philosophical Inquiries into the Nature of Human Freedom that will should be understood as the most fundamental constitutive element of reality. Though it is often downplayed in recent scholarship, Schelling derived his most central ideas for this work more or less directly from the theosophy of Jacob Boehme. I will argue that far from peripheral and antiquated curiosity, Schelling´s esoteric influences constitute the very foundation of his middle period thought. Schelling´s affinity to esotericism enabled him to develop a form of pantheism, which is not tied to the familiar problematic aspects of traditional Christian and post-Chri…

Contesting Cultural Heritage: Decolonizing the Tropenmuseum as an Intervention in the Dutch/European Memory Complex
2019
AbstractThe chapter discusses how (post-)immigrant activism in the Netherlands currently impacts Dutch and European cultural heritage and their cultural archive and memory complex. The discussion focuses on the Tropenmuseum and the way postcolonial (post)immigrants carried out interventions there, resulting in new ways of visually and textually representing the colonial past. Though the end result is not a final ideal decolonized situation, it did evince de-essentializing processes in which intersectional perspectives are taken up. The interventions coincide with other national and international protests and processes, making it part of a project or movement that produces decolonial counter…
PCE, Santiago Carrillo: enero de 1977 o el giro sacrificial de la Transición
2016
La Transición española a la democracia ha sido objeto de uno de los más sólidos relatos construidos por el periodismo y refrendado por la sociedad civil. En su corazón tiene lugar un momento de violencia que se concentra en la llamada semana negra de enero de 1977, cuyo clímax está representado por la matanza de Atocha. El presente artículo analiza las distintas etapas de cristalización de ese relato: un capítulo de La Transición (Elías Andrés, Victoria Prego, 1995), Siete días de enero (J.A. Bardem, 1978), un reportaje de Interviú (febrero de 1977) y las crónicas periodísticas de El País, Diario16 y Mundo Obrero. Especial atención se presta a la figura de Santiago Carrillo, identificado co…

Suffering as an anchor of critique. The place of critique in critical discourse studies
2017
If we engage in reflection on standards of critique, we are entering the terrain of metaethics, or the question of which ethical standards we should accept. The question is not only, in the sense o...
The Catholic Nation under Liberalism. Perspectives on Religious Unity in Liberal Spain, 1808-1868
2015
El artículo estudia los significados históricos que tuvo la afirmación de la unidad religiosa de la nación española en el liberalismo decimonónico. A partir de las premisas historiográficas que han renovado las reflexiones en torno a las relaciones entre religión, política y nación, los autores analizan la herencia plural de los ilustrados del último tercio del siglo XVIII y el sentido de la homogeneidad confesional de la nación soberana, esbozada por la Constitución de 1812. La confesionalidad religiosa no impidió las posibilidades de emancipación individual. Por el contrario, el primer liberalismo tendió a un reforzamiento mutuo de las identidades religiosa y nacional, al tiempo que confi…
“Cadenas de papel”. Un estudio del “Análisis de la Constitución española” (1823) de Karl-Ludwig von Haller
2016
Este trabajo pretende reconstruir la impugnacion que el polemista suizo Karl-Ludwig von Haller realizo a la Carta Magna gaditana de 1812 en su libro Analisis de la Constitucion Espanola (1823). Ademas, se estudia la segunda parte del escrito donde desenmascaro los planes de la conspiracion universal jacobina y los medios para efectuar una verdadera “restauracion”. Todo ello cotejando las dos traducciones al castellano de 1823 que demuestran la pluralidad del temprano antiliberalismo.
