La mirada feminista ante el espejo publicitario / The Feminist Gaze before the Advertising Mirror
2020
Tal como han reseñado antropólogos, investigadores y teóricos de distintas disciplinas sociales, para que exista y perdure un sistema de sometimiento y dominio de un sexo (el masculino) sobre el otro (el femenino); no sólo puede basarse en la coerción física, es necesario que exista una desigualdad de género basada en el ámbito de lo simbólico. Vivimos en una sociedad occidental donde prima lo que Bourdieu denomina violencia simbólica, inmersos en un «reglamento de género», según las palabras de Judith Butler, que normaliza determinadas imágenes y discursos que objetualizan y discriminan a los sujetos mujeres; lo que contribuye a perpetuar situaciones de violencia material sobre las ciudada…

Crítica de la política e historia política de las mujeres en Italia: un balance problemático
2006
This essay aims to contribute to the process of rethinking thirty years of Italian history. These long thirty years began with the 1968 student movement and the workers’ movement in the factories of Northern Italy in the “hot autumn” of 1969, then saw the cross-fertilization of the feminist movement and the battles for civil rights (divorce and abortion), and ended with terrorism and its repression, leading to an estrangement between politics and civil society and, in particular, to women’s drastic disaffection from politics. In considering these themes Italian historiography has recently been seeking to try to understand the “anomalies” of the Italian case and of the country’s contradictor…
“Another Munich We Just Cannot Afford”: Historical Metonymy In Politics
2016
The appeasement of Hitler and the Munich Agreement is a rhetorical comparison used commonly in international relations to defend politico-military action. On the basis of conceptual history and rhetorics, we examine cases of political speech in this paradigm. Firstly, we discuss time and conceptualize experience into first and second order experiences. Secondly, the roles of metaphor, metonymy and analogy in relation to thought and action are examined. We then contextualise Munich 1938, and present three cases demonstrating the political usage of this metonymy since WWII. These range from the Suez Crises to the Gulf War and on-going War on Terror. These cases show that “Munich” can be used …

Terminological Games: The Finnish Security Police Monitoring the Far-Right Movements in Finland During the Cold War
2020
This article focuses on the use of terms and concepts related to the nationalist movements by the Finnish security police during the Cold War. The key objective of the security police was to protect the legal order of the state and monitor the groups and phenomena potentially harmful to that cause. The previous experience regarding the rise of the radical nationalism and fascism in Finland in the 1930s and the 1947 Paris peace treaties were the historical and legal contexts within which the interpretations were made. As the article shows, interpretation made by the security police, however, relied occasionally on a limited understanding about the evolving far-right scene, thus producing ter…
