Making Telescopes and Partying with the Stars: Amateur Astronomy in Spain during Franco’s Dictatorship

2016

Franco’s dictatorship was characterized by an official narrative that criminalized the liberal tradition of previous periods. Such a discourse defined an ideologically correct science that censured the subordination of Spanish science to foreign influence and sought to create a new scientific tradition. However, recent studies have revised these aims and suggest that there was a continuity of scientific and technological programmes and practices before and after the Spanish Civil War. This paper contributes to these investigations with further evidence, focusing on several practices that characterized the development of amateur astronomy during this period. Special attention is paid to the…

Political Scientist Reads Gramsci: From Hegemony to teh Political

2015

In this paper I want to show, the Antonio Gramsci’s arrangements, Italian Marxist, are very actual analysis of political process and phenomenon, which can be very significant tip and inspiration for the political researchers. The argument of this paper is about a kind of continuity between process of establishing hegemony and notice what the political (beyond the strictly policy). Analyzing this continuity, I want to do some kind of “political science transcription” of Gramsci, which I hope will result in more detailed research. Also I want to show the Gramsci’s profile as a political theoretist.

The discoursive research orientation and its marxist inspiration

2014

Questions about the specifics of bulding of socio-political sphere phenomenon, lied at the dawn of countless attempts of systematization of knowledge over this subject, and of constructing the axioms, responding to efforts to enucleate of algorithm, ruling the dynamics of this sphere. One of such examples is discoursive research orientation. It was an effect of series of transformations inside social sciences during XXth century. Nonetheless, its program was not completely utilized by researchers achivements. I would like to express the conviction that primary catalogue of inspirations derives from rich achivements of Marxist thought. As node points of those considerations I take four inspi…

Polish zombie-proletariat. Political recomposition of class

2014

The main goal of the paper is to show, that Marxist vocabulary can still be relevant in the debate on Polish transition and helpful to establish new recomposition of the working class, that will be more effective as political subject. Political recomposition of proletariat is treated here as a main condition of ability for Polish society to make history it’s own subject again. The paper also contains: some methodological insights on the conditions of Marxism’s relevancy today; overview of some narratives on Polish transition from Marxist perspective; and my own proposal to treat the transition as a part of new wave of global enclosures, which is the essence of neoliberalism.

Beyond The Ignorant Schoolmaster : On Education, Marxism, and Psychoanalysis

2016

This first chapter introduces the main concepts of Marxist sociology and Freudian psychoanalysis, two theories that have been intensely devoted to investigating and overcoming the epistemological effects caused by the phenomenal forms which inhered in the mode of production and the psychic apparatus, their respective subject matters. Their two prominent spearheads, Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud, soon understood that their scientific endeavors depended on deciphering the mechanisms which, in each case, generated these distorted reflections. These mechanisms were class division—the complex network that in any given social milieu consolidates around specific relations of production—and the split…

MANIFESTACIONES DE JUSTICIA TERAPÉUTICA DERIVADAS DEL PRINCIPIO DE OPORTUNIDAD (II): MEDIACIÓN (Manifestations of Therapeutic Justice Arising Out of …

2019

Spanish Abstract: La sociedad actual vive un momento complejo, inquietante y paradojicamente contradictorio, en el que concurre una abracadabrante expansion masiva del Derecho Penal, que abandono su consideracion de ultima ratio hace ya algunas decadas para convertirse en la prima ratio. Una sociedad que sostiene una tension entre la tutela de la ciudadania y una sobredimensionada busqueda de la “seguridad”. Y es esa idea de la seguridad la que ha gestado enormes cambios en las normas penales, propulsando una imparable metamorfosis en la legislacion. Normas que se suceden a alta velocidad, germinando una suerte de anomia legislativa en muchos casos; normas que han incorporado nuevas modalid…

Personal Reflections on Dirk Jan Struik By Joseph W. Dauben

2018

Dirk Jan Struik, who taught for many years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and died on 21 October 2000 at the age of 106, was a distinguished mathematician and influential teacher. He was also widely known as a leading Marxist scholar and social activist. His early work on vector and tensor analysis, undertaken together with Jan Arnoldus Schouten, helped impart new mathematical techniques needed to master Einstein’s general theory of relativity. This collaboration lasted for over 20 years, but by the end of the 1930s, Struik came to realize that the heyday of the Ricci calculus had passed. After the Second World War, having now entered his 50s, he gave up mathematical research …
