Racial discourse in James Baldwin's Blues for Mister Charlie (1964) : drama and the hegemonic struggle
2012
Antecedentes del motín de 1766 en Almoradí
2011
Entre los municipios españoles que, en 1766, protagonizaron tumultos populares, el caso concreto de Almoradí no resulta desconocido. En el presente trabajo se trata de situar las manifestaciones del descontento expresado en forma de motín en una dinámica temporal de plazo medio que atiende a las vicisitudes políticas y financieras que atravesó la población durante las décadas centrales de la centuria. El seguimiento de ambos aspectos permite vislumbrar la importancia que tuvieron el malestar acumulado por la incapacidad de su clase gobernante para aligerar la carga fiscal en una coyuntura de teórico superávit financiero sostenido y la determinante incidencia de la arraigada lucha de faccion…
Le parole dell'asilo: un diritto di confine
2021
Chi riesce ad attraversare le frontiere dell’Unione europea per chiedere asilo deve rispondere adeguatamente a domande come: “Chi sei?”; “Da dove vieni?”; “Che valori e che storia porti con te?” Queste stesse domande sono però, al contempo, quelle che ogni richiedente asilo pone oggi all’Europa: “Chi sei?”; “Da dove vieni?”; “Di che valori e di che storia sei portatrice?”. Il diritto d’asilo affiora dalla storia millenaria di un istituto giuridico e religioso che accompagna l’evoluzione delle civiltà occidentali da quando se ne rinviene traccia. Una storia che viene qui indagata ricostruendo il filo conduttore delineato da alcune parole-chiave, le parole dell’asilo, appunto: ospitalità, pro…

‘Happy amicable co-operation’: mutual aid, anarchism and the image of the bee in the work of Louisa Sarah Bevington
2017
AbstractThe poet and political activist Louisa Sarah Bevington has been largely ignored in accounts of late Victorian literary and cultural history, even though her work presents a singular nexus of scientific, socio-cultural and poetical perspectives. This essay will show how Bevington juxtaposes Social Darwinist interpretations of the theory of evolution, which foreground the idea of human life as a struggle for existence, with the anarcho-communist view proposed by Peter Kropotkin, which foregrounds the human capacity for sympathy and mutual aid as the driving forces in social development. After situating Kropotkin’s ideas within the larger context of anarchist and evolutionist thinking,…
Rethinking Samir Amin’s legacy and the case for a political organization of the global justice movement
2019
Juego argues that the new Internationale’s “primary organizational function should be the global coordination of actions of progressive grassroots movements from country to country.” He calls for a ‘learning organization,’ where the new Internationale supports “a continuous dialogue between bottom-up and top-down approaches to decision-making.” He sees it as “[a]kin to a global coordinating council” meaning that it works to integrate and synthesize the “varying initiatives, campaigns, and mass actions at all geographical levels of membership” while remaining mindful of the “dialectics between reform and revolution.” The new Internationale must, moreover, be “grounded on a pragmatic understa…
Mediterranean Struggles for Movement and the European Government of Bodies: An Interview with Étienne Balibar and Nicholas De Genova
2018
The conversation between Étienne Balibar and Nicholas De Genova (moderated by Glenda Garelli, Alessandra Sciurba, and Martina Tazzioli) engages with the Mediterranean of migration as a multifaceted, productive, and contested space, which can represent a counterpoint to a deep-rooted Eurocentric imaginary. Looking at the Mediterranean as a space produced by the mobility of bodies crossing it and by the combination of different struggles, Balibar and De Genova comment on some of the political movements that have taken center stage in the Mediterranean region in the past few years and suggest that the most important challenge today is to mobilize a "Mediterranean point of view" whereby the pol…
La sombra del poder: Egisto
2017
El poder, si es efectivo, proyecta una sombra, fenómeno inherente a su necesaria entidad, y en el caso del género de poder que representa Clitemnestra la sombra es de todo punto necesaria, pues su poder precisa de la existencia de Egisto, a la vez que de su no presencia. Intentaremos ahondar en las razones por las que se llega al estado de cosas presente en la Orestea de Esquilo. The power, if it is effective, projects a shadow, phenomenon inherent in his necessary entity, and in the case of the genre of power that represents Clytemnestra shadow it is absolutely necessary, because it requires power from the existence of Aegisthus, while that of their non-presence. We try to delve into the r…
Panama and the WTO: new constitutionalism of trade policy and global tax governance
2017
"Corrigendum" in Review of International Political Economy, 24(4), p. 738 (DOI: 10.1080/09692290.2017.1332547). Tax havens and tax flight have lately received increasing attention, while interest toward multilateral trade policies has somewhat diminished. We argue that more attention needs to be paid exactly to the interrelations between trade and tax policies. Drawing from two case studies on Panama's trade disputes, we show how World Trade Organization (WTO) rules can be used both to resist attempts to sanction secrecy structures and to promote measures against tax flight. The theory of new constitutionalism can help to explain how trade treaties can 'lock in' tax policies. However, our c…
