Ciudades creativas y pueblos con encanto: los nuevos procesos patrimoniales del siglo XXI
2017
Durante las últimas décadas hemos asistido a un crecimiento espectacular del fenómeno patrimonial. La eclosión patrimonial, entre otras cosas, puede ser leída como una cara más del tercer espíritu del capitalismo. El desembarco de la economía de los intangibles y el acento en la producción del valor de lo inmaterial ha cambiado las reglas del juego de la economía mundial. Nuestra hipótesis de partida es que hemos asistido a una importante transformación en las activaciones patrimoniales: del nacionalismo político, que impulsó el patrimonio colectivo en el XIX, hemos pasado al nacionalismo de consumo en el siglo XXI. En este contexto, este artículo analiza el distinto impacto que tienen los …

Designing Dissensual Common Sense: Critical Art, Architecture, and Design in Jacques Rancière’s Political Thought
2021
How can design be socially engaged and politically efficient, as proposed by discourses labeled as critical design? This article introduces a conceptualization and historiography of politically charged design discourse based on philosopher Jacques Rancière’s work on the intersections of politics, aesthetics, and critical artistic practices. By focusing especially on Rancière’s reading of the genealogy of design from Ruskin to constructivism and the Bauhaus, the article aims to show that there is an important connection between design and politics present in Rancière’s thought. Rather than solely revealing the oppressive dimension embedded in designed forms, for Rancière, design is itself a …
The Biopolitical Logics of Settler Colonialism and Disruptive Relationality
2016
This essay argues that the biopolitical logics of settler colonialism function according to a naturalization in Western thought of politics as a project of hierarchically ordering life in relation to the sphere of politics. Significantly, such a mode of thinking discredits socio-political orders that operate on the basis of a non-hierarchical place-based relationality of all life forms including the land. Through a reading of Foucault and Agamben in their use of Aristotle, I want to show how hierarchy as a principle of the political is already implemented in the premise they draw upon for analyzing the biopolitical. In the same way it remains unrecognized in their analysis of biopolitics, …

Glimmering utopias: 50 years of African film
2010
The history of African film began in the 1960s with the independence of the colonies. Despite all kinds of political and economic difficulties, numerous films have been made since then, featuring wide-ranging processes of consolidation, differentiation and transformation which were characteristic of post-colonial sub-Saharan Africa. However, these feature films should not merely be viewed as back references to specifically African problems. The glimmering fictions are imagination spaces. They preserve ideas about how the post-colonial circumstances should be approached. Seen from this perspective, the history of African film may be studied as a history of African utopias. Die Geschichte des…
Identity tensions in dual career : the discursive construction of future selves by female Finnish judo athletes
2019
To date, few studies have explored how changes in the practices, policies, and politics of sport and education may be implicated in how young athletes think about and plan for the future. Drawing on cultural praxis and feminist poststructuralist frameworks, this paper explores whether and how dual career (DC) policies and practices in Finland guide female judo athletes’ imaginings about their future. Discourse analysis was used to analyse interviews with three adolescent (aged 16) and three young adult (aged 20, 23, and 27) elite female judo athletes. Differences were found in the ways the athletes in the different age groups constructed their future athletic, civic and gendered selves. We …
Being lost: tourism, risk and vulnerability in the post-‘9/11’ entertainment industry
2012
This study explores the ways in which the post-‘9/11’ film industry employs tourism as a plot that re-creates mythical imageries of the ‘West’ in relation to a radical ‘other’. Reflecting on sociological and psychological concepts of ‘vulnerability’ and ‘risk’, the authors undertake a content analysis of four ‘horror’ or ‘terror’ films and reveal complex discourses linked to nationalist sentiment, political ideology, the power of expertise and public insecurity in the post-‘9/11’ USA. One interesting feature of the current horror-movie genre is the extent of violence and sadism exerted on Western tourists going abroad. Drawing on the image of the tourist as victim, the authors further discu…
El proyecto europeo y la ciudadanía para los inmigrantes
2005
The European Constitutional Treaty which is going to be ratified these days offers a concept of European citizenship which disappoints the expectations to find a way for an integration of the resident immigrants or for any kind of political accommodation. In the light of the European framework and of the doctrinal debate, the proposal of a model of inclusive, plural and gradual citizenship will be examined, a citizenship which starts off with the notion of neighbourhood based on the continuous residence, followed by an analysis of the objections of those criticizing these proposals as a process of domestication.
