State power and conflict driven evolution
2021
The goal of this chapter is to examine the implications of the evolution of social organizations due to external competition. There are a variety of models of external competition. Models such as Ely (2002) examine voluntary migration - these models tend to efficient outcomes as people are drawn to locations with high per capita income. Historically, however, institutional success has not been through voluntary immigration into the arms of welcoming richer neighbors. Rather people and institutions have generally spread through invasion and conflict: the Carthaginians did not emigrate to Rome. Large institutional change has often occurred in the aftermath of the disruption caused by warfare …
A "grande política"
2015
Resumo Este artigo oferece uma discussão sobre o legado crítico em torno da noção de grande política na obra de Nietzsche, questão que foi dominada por três posições: 1) Nietzsche é reduzido a um ironista subjetivista, não se atribuindo a ele nenhuma (ou pouca) relevância na teoria política; 2) ou bem é estigmatizado como precursor intelectual dos totalitarismos políticos; 3) ou bem pode apresentar-se como um genuíno pensador político, para além dos totalitarismos e capaz de fecundar algumas concepções democráticas da vida política. Nesse último aspecto, apesar das críticas de Nietzsche à modernidade e à democracia, é possível vê que sua obra defende a noção de uma democracia radical, dado …
Many Images for a Continent. An Introduction
2021
For too long, the European Union has presented itself as a haven for bureaucrats, united by a hegemonic will practiced through the hyper-standardization of every aspect of social life. The result of this representation, so often weaponised by political forces hostile to the European project, has also been the reason the many images (normative acts, community projects, cultural initiatives etc.) that constitute the European discourse struggle to be recognized and read into a basic everyday narrative capable of shaping a European horizon of shared destinies. This book recognises the importance of the European discourse in its symbolic dimension and the need for it to be circulated via a wide-…
"Mad Men", "Los Soprano" y el "American way of life". Historia del capital en dos tiempos
1970
Don Draper (Mad Men, Matthew Weiner, AMC: 2007-2015) participa del nacimiento y consolidación dela sociedad de consumo sin ser consciente de la gran ficción que intenta creerse. Tony Soprano (TheSopranos, David Chase, HBO: 1999-2007) se agarra desesperadamente a los últimos restos de un idealde superación y esfuerzo que no solo está agotado sino que nunca fue verdaderamente coherente. Estetexto realiza un análisis textual, sociológico y discursivo comparativo de ambas figuras en cuantorepresentativas de la evolución del discurso capitalista en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, es decir, laartificialidad del discurso hegemónico de búsqueda de la felicidad como uno de los grandes mitos delneolib…

Hidro-hegemonija Oranžas-Senķu upes baseinā: Dienvidāfrikas lomas analīze
2019
Hidro-hegemonija Oranžas-Senķu upes baseinā: Dienvidāfrikas lomas analīze - gadījuma analīze, kurā tiek pētīta pārrobežu ūdens resursu apsaimniekošana starp Dienvidāfriku, Lesoto, Namībiju un Botsvānu. Darbā tiek pieņemts, ka Dienvidāfrika ir reģionālais hidro-hegemons konkrētajā baseinā. Dienvidāfrika nav augšupteces valsts, bet tai piemīt pietiekoši daudz varas pār augšupteces valsti Lesoto. Pētījuma mērķis - pielāgot hidro-hegemonijas analītisko ietvaru konkrētajam baseinam, lai noteiktu, kāda hidro-hegemonijas forma pastāv Oranžas-Senķu upes baseinā, un atklātu iemeslus, kādēļ Dienvidāfrika ir izvēlējusies spēlēt līdera lomu konkrētajā upes baseinā. Lai sasniegtu mērķi, tika noteikti šā…
Is there a need for a new cultural policy strategy in the Nordic welfare state?
1996
Cultural policies have existed as a structural element of the Nordic welfare states from the very beginning. Today these policies are being re‐evaluated, and there are some indications that they may be gradually dismantled. Local cultural politicians in municipalities (cultural boards) and professionals (e.g. cultural secretaries) have become uncertain and anxious about their future role and legitimacy. This new situation is addressed and analysed by using the ideas of Goffman's on‐and off‐stage representations, and Foucault's governmentality. Important background factors in the development of cultural policies both in the past, present and future are identified and used to explain the pres…
A Reluctant Hero: Hannes Kolehmainen and the Politics of Sporting Fame in Finland
2012
A multiple Olympic champion and pioneer of long-distance running in Finland, Hannes Kolehmainen migrated to the United States after having triumphed at the 1912 Stockholm games. In spite of his working-class credentials that had led to tension prior to Stockhom, the Finnish bourgeois sport authorities adopted him as their hero and literally bought him back from America in the 1920s, soon after Finland had gained independence. Subsequently, a number of prominent observers and scholars have claimed that Kolehmainen's running prowess not only brought the Finnish people together but also contributed to Finland's quest for independence. This essay takes a critical look at the hegemonic understan…
