Abstract

"When talking about 'artistic avant-garde', or 'historical avant-garde', whose emergence we commonly place in the first third of the 20th century, it is not strange to use the qualifying adjective 'anarchic'. This adjective, often ambiguous, alludes to a certain disruptive atmosphere associated with the period, which in the Spanish case refers to a historical reality: the coexistence, during the Second Spanish Republic (1931-1939), of highly politicized aesthetic isms with an important anarchist movement. Now, where do the avant-garde of galleries, pavilions, and magazines converge or distance themselves from the revolutionary actions of the CNT? To what extent do the practices of libertarian obrerismo correspond with the experimental theater of García Lorca, the cinema of Luis Bun̋uel, or Alberto Sánchez's sculpture? And with the feminist literature of Lucía Sánchez Saornil, the proletarian engraving of Helios Gómez, or the anticolonial painting of Wifredo Lam? Sin miedo a las ruinas proposes that the answer to these questions is to be found in the common questioning, by avant-garde and anarchists, not only of the dominant system of representation, but of the very concept of 'representation' and its alleged transparency. This book explores the limits of what can be represented, about the struggles and associated 'ruins' of representation, and of course, about its reconstructions; a book about the liberating potential that emerges between institutions and their worn-out ways of representing, whether political or artistic; a book, in short, about that libertarian drive, 'without fear of ruins,' that destroys and reorders the real under new collective principles, and that featured avant-garde art and Iberian anarchism at a critical moment in its history. Both isms, beyond their caricature as 'nihilistic', 'chaotic', 'utopian' or 'naive' phenomena, tested liberating proposals that we believe deserve to be revised. To this end, we propose this essay-collage of avant-garde 'texts,' genres, and authors that invite the reader to rethink the relationship between art and politics in republican Spain. And wherever representation is in crisis"--

Abstract

The high ideals of anarchism have inspired generations of activists and political thinkers for over a century and a half, winning respect from even the fiercest of opponents. As the 'conscience of politics', anarchism's opposition to all forms of power and its emphasis on responsibility and self-determination has provided a constant benchmark for other areas of political philosophy and practice. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, with popular movements challenging the logic of globalisation, Western military imperialism and the assumptions of 'democratic' governments, anarchist theory and practice has once again made its presence felt. 'Changing anarchism' documents the links between these movements and contemporary anarchism and demonstrates how anarchist ideas are evolving in a global age. In particular, the book examines strands within anarchism concerned with technology, the environment and identity, and suggests that these are useful sociological tools for understanding the pervasive and interconnected nature of power. The contributors also offer practical insight into how power is being resisted in a variety of social and political contexts and how anarchist ideals are impacting on many different areas of everyday life. The balance of activist perspectives on anti-capitalism, sexuality, narcotics, education and mental health, combined with theoretical material drawn from post-structuralism, ecologism, the complexity sciences and social movement theory, ensures that Changing Anarchism will appeal to the general reader as well as to students of politics, sociology and cultural studies.

Abstract

Dat Frank Vandenbroucke de uitdrukking 'actieve welvaartsstaat' invoerde in de politiek, is bekend. Minder bekend is dat deze uitdrukking geleidelijk tot stand is gekomen, in het kader van een meer fundamentele bezinning over de uitgangspunten en het programma van de sociaaldemocratie. Dit boek bevat vier teksten die uiteenlopende thema's behandelen, zoals globalisering, europeanisering, sociale rechtvaardigheid en de actieve welvaartsstaat. De auteur gaat het debat aan met de intellectuele peetvader van de Britse 'Derde Weg', Anthony Giddens, met politiek filosoof John Gray, met Ricardo Petrella, ...met de bedoeling kritisch inzicht bij te brengen, en modieuze analyses ter discussie te stellen
