Maoism and Postmodernism
2015
In this essay I discuss the emergence of the Mao cult during the Cultural Revolution in China and its appropriation in cultural revolutions in Europe and the United States to show how this image resonated with similar cults of popular icons in the West and lent itself to the formulation of theories and practices of postmodernism. The image quality of these cults facilitated the rise of the Mao-craze in the late 1980s and 1990s when political pop productions of Mao by Chinese artists emerged in New York and were then transplanted to China where they met with transfigurations of Mao’s legacy in the People’s Republic. The final stage of postmodern variations of Mao is reached with the presiden…
La diversidad de proyectos políticos en el primer debate preconstitucional español: Canga Argüelles, Ribelles y Borrul en el contexto de la política …
2002
The decree by which the Cortes of 22 May 1809 were summoned by the Junta Suprema of the realm marked the beginning of a political debate of great intensity in Spain. Through this debate the different political positions and the various ideological profiles arising from the deep constitutional crisis of 1808 became gradually crystallised. This article approaches that debate from the regional perspective of one of the territories or provinces of the Bourbon monarchy—namely, the old Kingdom of Valencia— and by examining three figures relatively unknown to historians, José Canga Argüelles, Bartolomé Ribelles and Francisco Xavier Borrul. Through an analysis of their works we can identify the div…
El acontecimiento de la inversión dialéctica
2020
La metafísica de Žižek es hegeliana, por encima de todo, porque entiende la inversión dialéctica como el núcleo real de la realidad. Por ello, para comprender su pensamiento es necesario aclarar su manera de entender esta inversión, esto es, el encuentro que, según Hegel, tiene lugar entre “sustancia” y “sujeto” y, en general, entre los extremos de las oposiciones que estructuran la realidad. Para Žižek lo propio de la posición hegeliana es localizar este encuentro en la falta de coincidencia de cada opuesto consigo mismo. La íntima inconsistencia de cada posición o identidad, su propia negatividad, constituye lo más originario de ellas y, a la vez, lo que las vincula a su otro en la forma …
Peace as a Priority
2012
Chapter 9 underlines how since its inception the European Union has presented itself to the world as a great “peace project”. The European project consists in creating a “community of peace and democracy” based on the conviction that peace does not emerge from dissuasion but rather out of cooperation. Europe attempts to remodel the world by realising the Kantian dream of “perpetual peace”, which is not based on the balance of military powers (or the supremacy of one of them) but rather on the universal recognition of the dignity of the human being, on the universal guarantee of human rights, and on sustainable human development, which means superseding the current neoliberal model of global…
El discurso totalitario del partido político España 2000
2016
Este artículo analiza los elementos principales del discurso del partido político español, España 2000, concebida como una formación adscrita a la corriente de «derecha radical populista». Para ello, se emplea la metodología de análisis de contenido y se aplica el modelo de «Totalismo Ideológico» propuesto por Robert Jay Lifton, que describe los elementos que caracterizan a las ideologías radicales. Como fuentes de información se utilizan las declaraciones de los líderes de la formación durante un conflicto sucedido en la ciudad de Valencia (España). La investigación muestra las particularidades totalitarias del discurso de la formación española y sus principales ejes ideológicos, que al ig…
The Dialectic Between Strength and Weakness in Dostoevsky (1860-1864). Ideology as Key for the Interpretation
2013
Los estudios críticos de la obra de Dostoievski evitan relacionarla con su ideología. El presente trabajo parte del supuesto de que la confrontación de la obra literaria con la ideología del autor puede proporcionar algunas claves decisivas para la comprensión de conceptos compartidos por ambos campos. Se ha analizado las categorías de fortaleza y debilidad, como nódulos importantes en la malla conceptual-imaginativa. El trabajo se limita a un periodo esencial de la obra de Dostoievski, 1860-1864, puesto que hay un consenso generalizado en que es clave para la evolución de su obra madura. Critical studies of Dostoevsky’s work usually avoid relating it to ideology. This essay assumes that th…

The sterilization of eco-criticism: from sustainable development to green capitalism
2015
El desarrollo ha sido un tropo dominante de la vida política y económica global en el mundo desde 1950. Como tal ha estado inevitablemente conectado a algunos de los procesos sociales más importantes de esta era: colonialismo, globalización, post-colonialismo, crisis ecológica global, el crecimiento del ecologismo, entre otros. La consolidación de la sociedad del consumo contemporánea llegó de la mano de la certeza de que sostenía un sistema de vida que, como daño colateral, incluía una crisis ecológica global. Desde muchos lugares del mundo nuevas voces apuntaron críticas en relación a los costes de la globalización y propusieron alternativas y soluciones: el eco-criticismo. Este artículo …
Welfare State inSpain. Sustainability criteria
2014
The construction of models of universal coverage in Spain and Europe, that established social rights, has offered a period of prosperity, peace and freedom in the second half of the twentieth century that was based on social justice. These values have benefited all of us. Despite the significant achievements that were made, the economic crisis has raised different voices warning about the impossibility of social protection systems. The difficulties of the time and the resource constraints have encouraged an ideological offensive against the welfare state, predicting its end in a short term. Therefore we have to consider that the present moment leads to the review and "deconstruction" of wha…
Innovation: transforming hierarchies in South Asia
2014
This special issue examines innovation as social change in South Asia. From an anthropological micro perspective, innovation is moulded by social systems of value and hierarchy and simultaneously potentially transforms them. The articles in this special issue examine a number of innovations in South Asian contexts: the printing press's changing technology and its intersections with communal and language ideologies in India (Peterson); mobile telephony, gender, and kinship in West Bengal (Tenhunen); microcredit and its relationship with social capital in Bangladesh (Uddin); imbalanced sex ratios and the future of marriage payments in north-western India (Jeffery); and how alternative dispute…
