The book examines Slovak education as an example of totalitarianism, exploring two opposing sides: the publicly expressed values and ideals of offi cial compulsory education subordinated to government power and the alternative ideals and concepts of unofficial education implemented by informal groups and underground organizations (dissent). The authors seek answers to Hannah Arendt's iconic questions: What happened? Why did it happen? How could this happen? The title of the book also references the dualism in the lives of individuals and families who did not identify with the doctrine of Marxism-Leninism and totalitarian ways of governing. In order to preserve their inner freedom, they lived a double life, one in private and the other in public.
Guillermo Meneses undertakes the culmination of his aesthetic project in his latest novel. He shows the modernisation and consolidation of Caracas as a cosmopolitan city. This forms the backdrop for the deployment of an avant-garde urban regionalism that attempts a new definition of Venezuelanness, resorting to a mythifying process that configures a narrative space in which the defence of popular sectors and their leading roles is expressed. In the bars of the bad life and in the Society of the Friends of God, a community of practitioners of the magical-religious rites associated with María Lionza, Meneses' character claims to have discovered solidarity and human kindness, a kind of antidote to bourgeois technocracy. Towards the end of the article, this same component is explored in the works of Carlos Noguera and Renato Rodríguez, which begin to be read as postmodern narratives in which the composition of a body destined for the life of the city continues to develop.

Die gesellschaftspolitischen Instabilitäten nehmen global wieder zu. Menschenverachtende Geopolitik erhält gut erkennbar Auftrieb. Mit dem Aufkommen der Ukraine- und Israelkriese wird das Thema Krieg auch in Deutschland wieder gesellschaftlich hoffähig. Dazu zeigt unser Finanzsystem seine inhärenten Fehler immer unverblümter. Ist von einem Ende der "Corona-Maßnahmen"-Krise die Rede? Oder sprechen wir mit dem Beginn des Pandemiezeitalters lediglich vom Ende der ersten Runde und der Gong zur nächsten lässt nicht lange auf sich warten? Lassen wir uns überraschen...Im dritten Teil dieser dreiteiligen Reihe beschreibt Vervé die - speziell für ihn - relevanten Aspekte menschlicher Selbstorganisation. Mangel, Krieg und Ungerechtigkeit werden hier als organisatorische Defizite wahrgenommen. Interessenkonflikte zwischen ungemein mächtigen Minderheiten und ohnmächtigen Massen stellen wohl das auffälligste Symptom dar, während ein digitaler Zentralismus sich im Gewand des Transhumanismus zunehmend unbarmherzig global offenbart.
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich Politik - Geschichte der politischen Systeme, Note: 1,3, Universität Passau, Veranstaltung: Politische Systeme Afrikas, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In diesem Beitrag wird evaluiert, ob die von der Dependenztheorie beeinflussten Eigenständigkeitsbestrebungen Burkina Fasos unter Thomas Sankara zu Fortschritten in Wirtschaftsleistung, Verbesserungen des Lebensstandards und politischer Unabhängigkeit geführt haben und inwiefern daraus relevante Erkenntnisse für die gegenwärtige entwicklungstheoretische Debatte bzw. entwicklungspolitische Maßnahmen abgeleitet werden können. Dazu werden zunächst die Annahmen der dependenztheoretischen Theorieschule erläutert und kontextualisiert sowie ihre entwicklungspolitische Relevanz herausgestellt. Aus diesen werden einige Handlungsempfehlungen abgeleitet, anhand derer nachfolgend die Autarkiebestrebungen Burkina Fasos während der Amtszeit des Präsidenten Thomas Sankaras hinsichtlich ihrer Auswirkungen betrachtet werden. Dabei wird auf dessen Fokus auf Ernährungssouveränität, self-reliance und finanzielle Unabhängigkeit eingegangen werden.
Genudgivelse af Eskil Halbergs Madpakker til revolution,hvori det vises, at kapitalismen har taget kontrol over maden til skadefor klimaet og alt levende, og at vi derfor står i en livsnødvendig kamp for at skabe en anden økologi.I vores del af verden, men i stigende grad overalt i verden, er mad i dag formidlet gennem verdensmarkedet. Vi er, paradoksalt nok,livsvigtigt afhængige af det system, som samtidig smadrer vores egnelivsbetingelser.— Eskil HalbergHalberg tager os med ud pålandet. Vi har vist ikke lyst til at blive derude, som det ser ud ligenu. Men det kan vi ændre på. “Det er næsten umuligt at gøre oprør fra en rapsmark.” Men det kan gøres fra et vildnis, fra et landbrugskollektiv, fra en byhave. Jeg fristes til at slutte af med et kampråb: Ingenklassekamp uden madkamp!— Mikkel ThorupMadpakker tilRevolutionen er lige præcis det øko-kommunistiske manifest vi har brugfor til at orientere os i kampen mod kapitalismens destruktiveorganisering af vores fælles naturgrundlag. En enestående analyse fra en af vor tids mest interessante kommunistiske tænkere!— Søren Mau
"A gripping investigation into the mysterious assassination of a journalist in India, revealing the courage and vulnerability of those who are fighting the decline of democracy around the world"--
Catherine Evtuhov resurrects the brilliant and contradictory currents of turn-of-the-century Kiev, Moscow, and St. Petersburg through an intellectual biography of Sergei Bulgakov (1871-1944), one of the central figures of the Silver Age. The son of a provincial priest, Bulgakov served first as one of Russia's most original and influential interpreters of Marx, and then went on to become the century's most important theologian of the Orthodox faith. As Evtuhov recounts the story of Bulgakov's spiritual evolution, she traces the impact of seemingly opposed philosophical and religious world views on one another and on the course of political events. In the first comprehensive analysis of Bulgakov's most important religious-philosophical work, Philosophy of Economy, Evtuhov identifies a "perceptual revolution" in Russian thinking about economy, a significant contribution to European modernist thought which both shaped and grew out of contemporary debates over land reforms. She reconstructs Bulgakov's vision of an Orthodox, constitutional Russia, shows how he tried to put it into practice in the wake of the February Revolution, and demonstrates its importance for a large and influential portion of Russian society.
An exhilarating journey through the subcultures, the occupied squats, and late-night scenes in the anarchic first few years of Berlin after the fall of the Wall Berlin Calling is a never-before-told account of the Berlin Wall's momentous crash, seen through the eyes of the divided city's street artists and punk rockers, impresarios and underground agitators. Berlin-based writer Paul Hockenos offers us an original chronicle of 1989's "peaceful revolution," which upended communism in East Germany, and the wild, permissive years of artistic ferment and pirate utopias that followed when protest and idealism, techno clubs and sprawling squats were the order of the day. This is a story stocked with larger-than-life characters from Berlin's highly political subcultures--including David Bowie and Iggy Pop, the internationally known French Wall artist Thierry Noir, cult figure Blixa Bargeld of the industrial band Einstürzende Neubauten, and a clandestine cell of East Berlin anarchists. Hockenos argues that the do-it-yourself energy and raw urban vibe of the early 1990s shaped the new Berlin and still pulses through the city today.
'Harris reveals the history of an extraordinary animal rights campaign that I was proud to be associated with. A heartfelt and important account of a movement that inspired thousands' Benjamin Zephaniah, poet and activist'When DIY ethos plays out on a grand scale, it has the power to shake governments and change the world. This is a must-read for all contemporary activists' Moby, musician'A story of compassion and courage that was crushed by the state, and a powerful testament to the inspirational campaigns of people who stood for a world without suffering' Peter Tatchell, campaigner for human and animal liberationFor many people, the name 'Huntingdon Life Sciences' will live forever in infamy. In the early 2000s, Europe's largest animal testing laboratory provoked public outrage, and sparked a resistance movement like no other. Your Neighbour Kills Puppies tells the inside story of this remarkable campaign and the forces that rose up against it. It exposes a murky world of institutional animal exploitation, government collusion, corporate lobbyists, agent provocateurs and police spies desperate to silence dissent.Author and campaign veteran Tom Harris transports the reader into the heart of the action, through underground tunnels and illicit animal rescues, before detailing the brutal state-led crackdown which saw scores of activists violently arrested and imprisoned.Tom Harris has spent two decades in the animal liberation movement and is a former coordinator of Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty. He received a five-year prison sentence during the attempted 'elimination' of the anti-vivisection movement and is a named victim in the Miscarriages of Justice category of the Government's Undercover Policing Inquiry.
"In 1925, hundreds of people descended on the sleepy town of Dayton, Tennessee, where a young schoolteacher named John T. Scopes was put on trial for including a reference to evolution in his teaching. Darwin's concept that species evolved over time through natural selection was misunderstood as challenging the Bible, faith in God, and as suggesting that men were descended from monkeys. Two legendary men, Clarence Darrow for the defense, and William Jennings Bryan for the prosecution, drew massive crowds in a trial that quickly became a circus-like media sensation. Darrow argued for individual freedom including in religion and education, and Bryan argued from a fundamentalist Christian perspective that evolution undermined faith in God and the literal truth of the Bible. Acclaimed historian Brenda Wineapple brings to vivid life the entirety of this dramatic and colorful period that exposed foundation divisions in America across race, class, and religion. Bryan had run several times, unsuccessfully, for President, and his political efforts and ambitions, vividly chronicled in this book, culminated in Dayton. Darrow was a leader of the ACLU and known as a fervent defender of laborers, and his long history of legal defense in matters of individual rights also reached its apogee in this trial of the century. In his defense of Scopes and the First Amendment protection of individual liberty, Darrow said: 'No subject possesses the minds of men like religious bigotry, and hate, and these fires are being lighted today in America.'"--
"The Federalist Papers" written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, were a series of 85 essays published between 1787 and 1788 to promote the ratification of the United States Constitution. These influential essays served as a comprehensive explanation and defense of the principles and structure of the Constitution, addressing concerns about the proposed system of government. The authors passionately argued for the benefits of a strong central government, emphasizing the necessity of a balanced and well-structured union to ensure national stability and security. Through astute political and philosophical analysis, the papers elucidated the significance of checks and balances, the separation of powers, and the importance of representative government. The Federalist Papers remain an enduring classic in political thought, offering invaluable insights into the framers' intentions and the foundations of American constitutional democracy.
Dario Fo var et kunstnerisk fænomen. Skuespiller, dramatiker, instruktør, scenograf, billedkunstner, aktivist... en rabiat satiriker, der sammen med sin partner i livet og på scenen, Franca Rame, tog nogle kampe, de betalte en høj politisk og personlig pris for. Men Fo opnåede også en pris. I 1997 modtog han Nobelprisen i litteratur. Fos groteske komik vandt en særlig genklang i Danmark. Som oversætter, tolk og forsker fulgte Bent Holm hans arbejde gennem et halvt århundrede, hvor der også udviklede sig en personlig relation imellem dem. Bogen skildrer Fos brogede liv og værk fra opvæksten blandt fiskere og fabulanter over hans tid som kontroversiel kritiker af et forbenet regime, altid i anarkistisk opposition, og sluttelig frem til hans fokus på kunst, kultur og historie. Alt sammen indsat i et landskab af Italiens nyere politiske historie, hvor grænserne mellem utopisme, ekstremisme og terrorisme skred fatalt – og tilsat forfatterens egne oplevelser med fænomenet Fo

Demokratien geraten zunehmend unter Druck. Dabei wird die Bedeutung von Demokratie selbst zum Gegenstand der Auseinandersetzung. Diese Auseinandersetzungen nimmt der vorliegende Band zum Anlass, die Bedeutung von Demokratie grundsätzlich zu untersuchen. Mit dem Begriff der Konstituenzien sind dabei jene wesentlichen Bedingungen gemeint, die Demokratie ausmachen. Die meisten dieser Bedingungen sind normativ. Was Demokratie ist, wird auch und gerade dadurch bestimmt, was Demokratie sein sollte. Damit geht es um jene Normen, deren Verwirklichung politische Praktiken zu demokratischen Praktiken macht. Sind diese Normen nur eingeschränkt verwirklicht, mindert sich der demokratische Gehalt von Politik. Inwieweit ist dann nun aber eigentlich der Fall? Und was können wir dagegen tun? Antworten auf diese Fragen geben einschlägige Vertreterinnen und Vertreter aus Philosophie, Politik- und Rechtswissenschaft.
A moving political memoir through Berkeley radicalism, socialist organising in Australia in the Whitlam and Fraser eras and international mass struggles. This is not a nostalgic memoir of reminiscence, but an inspiration for all activists.
This book aims to analyse contemporary debates about education, knowledge and power. The various approaches to the importance of education and knowledge are based on alternative visions of human nature based on different logical-epistemic approaches. If reasoning is what characterises it, then it is worth reflecting on this fundamental dimension, which is education. However, the place it occupies in the nature of man is at the epicentre of a historical problem, in which some perspectives consider that knowledge improves the life possibilities of human beings and others oppose this hypothesis. In other words, there are competing approaches to the interpretation of education systems: while some see it as a mechanism of domination, others see it as a key element for the liberation and transformation of society.
Lorsque, en 1925, Bouglé publie Qu'est-ce que la sociologie ?, il ne propose pas seulement un manuel, mais aussi et surtout un ouvrage traitant, à travers différents écrits, tant de la division du travail que des rapports de l'histoire et de la science sociale, ou des théories de Cournot et l'idée avant-gardiste de "sociologie populaire". Un regard jeté en passant sur les aphorismes de la sagesse des nations, sur les formules de nos littérateurs, sur les maximes courantes de notre propre conduite suffit à le constater il existe d'ores et déjà, aussi bien qu'une météorologie, une "sociologie populaire" .
