I corpi del virus
2020
In un articolo recentemente uscito in italiano, Bruno Latour spiega che il nuovo coronavirus illustra in modo eclatante come gli attori non umani irrompano nei nostri spazi collettivi esigendo profonde trasformazioni (e invitando a ripensare così noi stessi al loro interno). Al momento è impossibile valutare questi cambiamenti sul lungo periodo. È chiaro però che SARS-CoV-2 ha avuto subito effetti visibilissimi sulle istituzioni che danno forma al nostro universo collettivo: mercati finanziari, filiere produttive, sistemi sanitari, regolamenti, lockdown. Mi sembra che il luogo di convergenza di questi ambiti tematici sia il corpo, figura in cui si incrociano le isotopie mediche, economiche,…
Inversión educativa y contracción del Estado del Bienestar : un análisis del contexto autonómico tras la crisis sistémica de 2008
2018
En España, el estallido de la crisis sistémica de 2008 y su prolongada duración han supuesto desafíos adicionales para el mantenimiento del Estado del Bienestar y, particularmente, para la educación, el Servicio Público Fundamental que más afectado se ha visto por la aplicación de políticas de contracción presupuestaria durante este período. El presente trabajo explora cómo se ha comportado la inversión educativa en las distintas regiones españolas a lo largo de los últimos años, y trata de conocer más acerca del papel que han jugado las distintas administraciones en la asignación de recursos a esta partida. Para ello, esta investigación ha conformado dos bloques de CC.AA. de acuerdo con la…
How to criticize without ever becoming a critic
2019
The chapter elucidates the disposition of the critical IR scholar by exploring the resonances between the political subject and the figure of the critic. While the critical disposition is often contrasted with proper politics as overly negative and devoid of constructive effects, I argue that political praxis and critical activity share a similar modus operandi in overcoming exclusions, overturning hierarchies and abolishing restrictions in a given world. The political subject is not a poet, artist or ‘world-maker’, but a pitiless critic of the worlds s/he finds itself in. Critical IR is therefore a political intervention into the world of the IR discipline that does not seek to consolidate…

First, we will approach the crowdfunding analysis in order to make it easier for the reader to understand this phenomenon. Secondly, it will analyze the current implementation of this tool by political parties at national and international level, pointing out some of the positive and negative aspects that can be derived from the use of this new resource. All this, with the main objective of analyzing the viabilit…
The Role of Professors in the Formation of Finnish Parliamentary Life: The Struggle between Two Conceptions of Parliament
2017
The Frankfurt Parliament (1848–49) was subsequently dismissively referred to as the “Professors’ Parliament” due to its heavy representation of scholars and the academic style of its lengthy discussions. Professors have played a prominent role in the deliberations and development of other European assemblies, too. This article examines the role of professors in the formation of Finnish parliamentary life. It moreover underlines the close relationship between the academia and national politics in late nineteenth-century Finland, starting from the European revolutions of 1848. The article highlights how politically active professors, together with the newspaper press, were crucial in transfe…
A comparison between three ideal types of parliamentary politics : representation, legislation and deliberation
2018
Representative, legislative and deliberative assemblies are commonly called parliaments. The three types of assemblies share many procedures and practices, and the Inter-Parliamentary Union includes all three types among its members. Nonetheless, as ideal types in the Weberian sense, the three kinds of political assemblies do differ in their modes of acting and thinking politically. This article is a thought experiment to sketch the three ideal types by working out a number of key aspects of their distinctive political features. The political action that characterizes representative assemblies is pre-parliamentary elections, legislative assemblies are judged by their post-parliamentary resu…
Deliberative Democracy, Active Citizenship and Critical Culture: From Aristotle’s Rhetoric to Contemporary Political Philosophy
2013
The aim of this paper is to defend an adequate reading of Aristotle´s deliberative rhetoric that allows us to understand practical rationalization as a process of interpretation of human actions. After the consideration of rhetoric as a general human ability that is indispensable for political coexistence, the impact of the Aristotelian rhetorical proposal is presented, not just as a defense of the importance of rhetoric in a democratic society, but also as a novel attempt to understand what it means to speak of practical rationality.

Ciudadanía democrática: ética, política y religión. XIX Conferencias Aranguren
2011
This article is comprised of two parts, bound together by the concept of <i>democratic citizenship</i>. The first part attempts to design the lines of <i>deliberative democracy</i> as the most appropriate model to embody the actual substance of democracy. That is why it presents the sense of deliberative democracy, its traits, its advantages compared with other models, the conditions for its start-up, its limits and the specific type of deliberative democracy that would be more adequate, and which receives the name of «communicative democracy»; all of this by way of dialogues with its main representatives. The second part addresses the specific questions of the <i…
Deute públic i renda censalista al País Valencià en el segle XV. Una proposta d’interpretació
2018
L’emergència de la nova fiscalitat –de la Corona, de les ciutats i del regne– va ser, sens dubte, una de les grans transformacions polítiques i econòmiques del final de l’edat mitjana. Amb l’impost va aparèixer un deute públic consolidat que, en la Corona d’Aragó, es va desenvolupar mitjançant el censal, un instrument financer semblant a les rentes constituées franceses o les perpetual annuities angleses. A partir del cas del País Valencià, pot assajar-se una estimació del volum de rendes generat pel deute públic i de com es distribuïen des del punt de vista geogràfic i social. Així doncs, en aquest article s’estudia en quins nivells de la xarxa urbana es concentraven aquests recursos i qui…
