Re-Imagining the Border: Border Art as a Space of Critical Imagination and Creative Resistance
2014
Contemporary world is increasingly marked by borders, fences and walls, which run through the spaces we live in. Borders are the result of a composite articulation of material aspects, concerning their external realisation, and structures of imagination, symbolic constructs and conceptual formations that involve the border and make it meaningful. In this dynamic and mutable field, artistic practices and interventions can interrupt and alterate the logic of the border, opening up a space of resistance and critical imagination, where the transparent, immutable and essentialist representation of the border is constantly challenged. Works of artists such as Bajevic, Hatoum, Salcedo, Rosver and …
Transhumanismo, discurso transgénero y digitalismo: ¿exigencias de justicia o efectos del espíritu de abstracción?
2021
There are three great existential challenges for the human being in the present time: transhumanism, transgender discourse and digitalism. These three phenomena are enormously powerful today because they are driven by two overwhelming forces which, however, tend to collide opposing each other. On the one hand, they are encouraged by a demand for justice and emancipation, which seeks to end deeply rooted forms of discrimination and to seek effective equality among all human beings. On the other hand, they are sustained on a philosophical basis that denies the intelligibility of reality and the teleological condition of human existence, proposing instead, as the only guide to orient human lif…
Análisis del proceso de internacionalización de la investigación española en ciencia y tecnología (1980-2007)
2012
The process of scientific internationalization in Spain is based on an analysis of the growth of scientific publications and the evolution of international collaboration in Spanish scientific papers indexed in the Science Citation Index-Expanded database between 1980 and 2007. The article examines science policies in Spain together with the investments in economic and human resources devoted to research, and their effects on the internationalization process. Scholarly research in Spain has become increasingly international over the last three decades. The main features of this process have been a linear growth of productivity in terms of the number of papers published per year; a progressiv…
A Russian Radical Conservative Challenge to the Liberal Global Order : Aleksandr Dugin
2019
The chapter examines Russian political theorist Aleksandr Dugin’s (b. 1962) challenge to the Western liberal order. Even though Dugin’s project is in many ways a theoretical epitome of Russia’s contemporary attempt to profile itself as a regional great power with a political and cultural identity distinct from the liberal West, Dugin can also be read in a wider context as one of the currently most prominent representatives of the culturally and intellectually oriented international New Right. The chapter introduces Dugin’s role on the Russian right-wing political scene and his international networks, Russian neo-Eurasianism as his ideological footing, and his more recent “fourth political t…
Clinical Sociology and Moral Hegemony
2013
The article presents a critique of a dominant way of analysing gang conflict in Norwegian sociology. The research in question uses a rather crude Marxist analysis that could somehow fit any gang conflict in the country. However, this kind of analysis was gradually put in question first by professor Ottar Brox and his criticism of the moral hegemony by a group of Marxists gathered around the publication “Klassekampen” (“Class Struggle”). Then the analysis was challenged by gang-researchers who reached back to the classical study of Frederic M. Thrasher, finding the latter more fruitful for analysis. Antonio Gramsci (1891- 1937) who coined the term cultural hegemony used it to describe how a …

Empire and Democracy. A critical reading of Michael Ignatieff
2013
Empires expand their hegemony combined two contrasting forces; one is violence the second is characterized by persuasion. Ideology works in these contexts, as an efficient instrument of self-indoctrination whereby dominated cultures accept the cultural matrix of empire. In this vein, the present essay-review not only questions the employment of human rights in the liberal thought, but also tries to respond to the conceptual problems of liberalism to understand terrorism. Based on two seminal texts written by the liberal Michael Ignatieff, we formulate the thesis that liberalism supports the war against terror because of its doctrine of self-determination.
Entre el activismo y la mediatización: encuadres de partidos y prensa en la campaña catalana de 2017
2019
Los estudios sobre la cobertura periodística de las campañas electorales apuntan a una creciente mediatización. Este trabajo busca corroborar si la tendencia también se da en circunstancias excepcionales, como las de las elecciones autonómicas de Cataluña en 2017. La investigación compara los encuadres presentados por seis periódicos (El País, El Mundo, La Vanguardia, El Periódico de Catalunya, Punt Avui y Ara) con los adoptados por los siete partidos políticos representados en el parlamento autonómico (JuntsXCat, ERC, PSC, PP, Ciudadanos, En Comú-Podem y CUP). Los resultados indican que los encuadres simbólicos propios de la acción colectiva dominaron en el mensaje de los partidos, aunque …
Political Cultures in the Fascist Italy: Transversalities and Contradictions
2019
As the first totalitarian experience, the construction of the fascist regime in Italy was a long, complex process, which remained unfinished by its very nature. Hence, this text attempts to explore some of the specific features of that process. In line with the overall approach of this volume, the principal aim is here to understand the role of the various political cultures in constructing the regime, particularly the fascist and nationalist ones. In that sense, Saz concludes that both were important and there were collaboration and transversalities, mutual understanding, contradictions, struggles and cracks between them. But this always happened from and towards a fascist hegemony, with t…
Zoom in on Dry Joy—Dissensus, Agonism and Democracy in Art Education
2021
Literature on art education often emphasizes dialogue as a preferred approach and as a way of practicing democratic education in museums and galleries. Dialogue-based tours in such contexts are often characterized by a sense of harmony and agreement. In contrast, this article discusses the democratic aspect and political potentiality when dissensus and agonism are used as central educational strategies. The point of departure for the discussion was a teaching session on the online platform Zoom with student teachers as part of their module on art and crafts at the University of Agder in Kristiansand, Norway, in spring 2020. Artworks from the exhibition Dry Joy, in Sø
