“Sentir el cuerpo”: subjetividad y política en la sociedad de masas en España (1890-1931)
2018
El artículo reflexiona sobre las condiciones de aparición de los sujetos en la acción política asumiendo la centralidad del cuerpo como categoría de análisis. Partimos de la hipótesis de que el lenguaje de la política necesita un cuerpo en el que materializarse. Hay dos partes muy marcadas. En la primera, de carácter teórico, se repasan algunos hitos en la renovación del concepto de cuerpo y sus consecuencias en la conformación de la subjetividad. Se propone un concepto spinozista de cuerpo entendiendo este como espacio afectado en el que las emociones se materializan y, a la vez, como espacio activo en la producción del significado. En la segunda parte, se analiza un estudio de caso. La te…
Experience, Subjectivity and Politics in the Italian Feminist Movement
2006
This article describes the political practices of a part of the Italian women’s movement that, as of the 1980s, gave way to the sexual difference thought. Through a political analysis of their own experience, which removed any humanist identity assumptions, the women’s movement generated new practices and discourses. With these, women were able to exert self-criticism, and simultaneously to produce new subjectivities articulated around the sexual difference concept. The difference thought helped highlight the limits of institutional policy, renewing the premises of political analysis and redefining the borders of what was deemed to be ‘political’. Intended to foster dialogue with other femi…
Adolfo Bioy Casares: la ficción biopolítica
2017
ABSTRACTMost academic works on Adolfo Bioy Casares can be put into two categories: those that stress Bioy Casares's political ideas and those that emphasize his mastery of the fantastic genre as if he were two different writers at once. Can we read a politics of the fantastic in his works? Beyond the Peronist polemics in which Casares's books are framed, if we take into consideration the existential logic that runs through his novels—always in the boundaries between life and death, dream and reality, body and spirit, etc.—we note an exploration of the body and living, of the human and the animal. This exploration is informed by scientific laws that progressively invade the spheres of subjec…
Deportation vs. Sanctuary: The Rationalities, Technologies, and Subjects of Finnish Sanctuary Practices
1969

 Evangelical Lutheran parishes and their representatives have provided sanctuaries for asylum seekers for forty years in Finland.Yet this activity became widely publicly recognized only after the Finnish Ecumenical Council released the “Church as Sanctuary” document in 2007.The parishes are assisted by many civic organizations (e.g.women’s organizations, Free Movement Network, Amnesty International, and Finnish Refugee Council) in providing sanctuary.They share the same opponent: the state’s strict asylum policy.The various parties involved in Finnish sanctuary incidents can be divided into two groups using the terminology of the Foucaldian analytics of pastoral power: a state pastor…
Subjectivation, togetherness, environment. Potentials of participatory art for Art Education for Sustainable Development (AESD)
2017
Through a process-oriented analysis of the participatory art project The Hill this article explores the relevance of participatory art projects for the development of AESD – Art Education for Sustainable Development. Inspired by Felix Guattari’s Three Ecologies (2008) the analysis moves through three sub-studies delving into three different aspects of the project. Each sub-study adopts two overlapping analytical ‘lenses’: The lens of a contemporary art form (performance art, community art, and site-specific art) and the lens of a related theoretical concept (subjectivation, togetherness, environment). The aim is to propose art educational ideas and strategies that stimulate students to chal…
TV politics showed in Twitter: Media and followers
2015
The aim of this work is to present an ongoing research relating to the use of Twitter by the media; a corpus of 3000 tweets from three TV politic shows are being analized (Los desayunos de TVE, in the public channel TVE1, and Las Mananas Cuatro and Al Rojo Vivo, of private channels Cuatro and La Sexta) and a corpus of 1523 tweets responses produced by followers. The analysis model used is a neuropragmatic based linguistic model, that consider brands of subjectivity and interaction as a direct corollary of the theory of mind.
Literatur – grundsätzlich mehrsprachig!? Das politische Potenzial literarischer Mehrsprachigkeit heute, am Beispiel von Barbi Marković’ Superheldinnen
2021
Literature – Multilingual on Principle?! The Political Potential of Literary Multilingualism Today, using the Example of Barbi Marković’s Superheldinnen. Research on literary multilingualism is increasingly based on the assumption that literature per se is multilingual. This is true for concepts such as Mikhail Bakhtin’s ‘polyphony’, in which multilingualism occurs in the form of social, regional and historical variants within one major language. Similarly, it applies to Rainier Grutman’s concept of hétérolinguisme, which expands Bakhtin’s notion and includes actual language changes. Recently, Till Dembeck has even called for a philology of multilingualism that would accommodate literary mu…
New Alliances in Post-Brexit Europe: Does the New Hanseatic League Revive Nordic Political Cooperation?
2020
As Brexit removes the Nordic countries’ most powerful ally from the EU, what does this imply for their approach to European affairs? The literature on small states within the EU suggests that they can counterbalance limited bargaining capacities by entering two types of alliances: strategic partnerships with bigger member states and institutionalised cooperation on a regional basis. Against this backdrop we ask whether, by significantly raising the costs of non-cooperation for Nordic governments, the Brexit referendum has triggered a revival of Nordic political cooperation. We scrutinise this conjecture by analysing Nordic strategies of coalition-building on EU financial and budgetary polic…
Tra Sicilia e America: gli “scappati” di Cosa Nostra,
2009
Territorial control is one of the most important elements for the survival of the mafia. It is an obligated path to be able to obtain and control economic activities and to penetrate into all profitable sectors. Without territorial control it is impossible to control voters and without it all relationships with politics wither and die. It is within the territory where the imposition of "pizzo" (protection money) and extortion are planned against businesses and firms. This impending presence is also the cause in which citizens and families find themselves submitted to violence, the abuse of power and, if not only, to a limitation to their sphere of action. Telling the story about the scappat…
