Castron kastraatio : Pedro Juan Gutiérrezin proosa castrokommunistisen utopian romuttajana
2016
This dissertation explores how Pedro Juan Gutiérrez's fiction corresponds to the Castrocommunist utopia. The study has three goals: (1) to explain how Castro-communism has formed, altered and impacted on Cuban literature; (2) to investigate how Gutiérrez's fiction corresponds to the Castro-communist utopia and ideals; and (3) how his parodic (anti)detective story Nuestro GG en La Habana (2004) is based on and relates to Cuban socialist detective stories, Graham Greene's spy farce Our Man in Havana, Castro-communist historiography and the social, ideological and economic shifts in Cuban society during the 1990s. Previous studies on Gutiérrez's fiction have focused almost exclusively on the a…
Latvian Writers’ Strategies of Resistance during De-Stalinisation: The Case of Gunārs Priede
2017
This paper traces developments in the Soviet Latvian literary scene between the late 1950s and early 1970s. The first part examines aspects of social organisation as demonstrated by the daily routines of so-called creative unions characteristic for the overall pattern of the way in which social mechanisms worked under Soviet rule, even if there were constant attempts to overcome the limits set to expression by the communist system. The second part provides a case study of the biography and creative work of Latvian playwright Gunārs Priede 1928–2000, a leading representative of the young generation of authors of that period. The paper not only points towards the parallels in social and aesth…
La poesía como lección de historia, Matei Vişniec, «En la mesa con Marx» («La masă cu Marx»)La poesía como lección de historia, Matei Vişniec, «En la…
2017
After a brief presentation describing the main traits of the literary Romanian exile, this article aims to reveal some aspects of Matei Vişniec’s poetical originality, a Romanian francophone writer who defines himself as a «lucky exiled man». The poem we’ve chosen, «At the table with Marx» («La masă cu Marx»), involves the main line of the book with the same title that was published in Romania in 2011. His explicitly political regard relates him to another text that circulated as an anti-communist manifesto during the previous years of the communist dictature fall: the well-known poem entitled «The sailing ship» («Corabia»). A parable of complicity and colective guiltiness, «At the table wi…
Dynamics in stochastic evolutionary models
2016
We characterize transitions between stochastically stable states and relative ergodic probabilities in the theory of the evolution of conventions. We give an application to the fall of hegemonies in the evolutionary theory of institutions and conflict, and illustrate the theory with the fall of the Qing dynasty and the rise of communism in China.
Marxist Influences in Psychology
2020
Marxist ideas influenced and inspired psychological thinking and practice in the 20th century in a range of ways. In different parts of the world, unique versions of Marxist psychology emerged as answers to questions and problems raised by specific historical contexts. As shown in the early 21st century scholarly interventions in Lev Vygotsky studies, the Soviet psychologist’s work was deeply embedded in the sociopolitical, cultural, and ideological context of early Soviet Russia. In countries such as Brazil and Italy, Marxism had a more indirect influence as an emancipatory discourse. In the wider framework of Latin American liberatory ideas and struggles, the educational philosopher Paulo…

Nilde Iotti e i cristiani di sinistra: confronti di idee, momenti di storia

The political commitment of Nilde Iotti, president of the Chamber of Deputies for three legislatures, provides an opportunity to compare the political ideas of Catholics and Communists during the Resistance and in the first decades of the Italian Republic. This comparison highlights that freedom and work are the fundamental elements of Italian democracy in the second half of the twentieth century.
La mémoire d’une autre réconciliation : le récit des anciens collaborationnistes au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale
2007
International audience; Fritz Taubert s’intéresse dans cet article à une autre mémoire vive des relations franco- allemandes : celle portée après la guerre par d’anciens collaborateurs. Il montre comment ces hommes ont tenté de justifier a posteriori leur action pendant l’Occupation en opérant une équivalence sémantique entre la Collaboration, le rapprochement, et la réconciliation franco- allemande. Fritz Taubert souligne que ce discours social n’est pas resté cantonné aux cercles de nostalgiques de la Collaboration. Sous la guerre froide, l’anticommunisme lui a offert une caisse de résonance de telle sorte qu’il a participé à la construction du sens en marge des récits officiels sur la co…
Dialogue in the Dark: Shedding Light on the Development of Social Enterprises in China
2015
International audience; The application of for-profit business practices to nonprofit organizations, social enterprises are a way for nonprofit organizations to find funding in a time of rising costs, falling donations, and increased competition from for-profit businesses in the social sector. Although well established in the mature economies of the West, these enterprises are a novelty in the emerging economies of Asia and in the transitional economies of the former communist world. The experiences of Dialogue in the Dark, a social enterprise concerned with the problems associated with blindness, highlight the unique challenges that social enterprises face in China and offer lessons for en…
Gerd Callesen, Socialist Internationals: A Bibliography of Publications of the Social-Democratic and Socialist Internationals, 1914–2000. Bonn and Ge…
2004
This is a very useful bibliographical tool produced by the efforts of the International Association of Labour History Institutions (IALHI). This association comprises more than one hundred archives, libraries and research centers all over the world, though the vast majority are located in Europe, and not all of them have the same importance, reflecting the geographical and political unevenness of socialism's history. This particular volume aims to list all the publications of the social-democratic internationals after 1914, i.e. from the time of the political split due to the support for World War I by most social-democratic parties. This means that the left-wing, beginning with the Kientha…
