Jonathan Metzger

We are not alone in the universe

A new type of political ecology may lend the Left a broad political platform. But we must first acknowledge wills that are not human. Jonathan Metzger explains why "more-than-humanism" calls for a complete rethink in policy, planning and the law. [ more ]

Naive, the hawks would say

"Ny Tid" says that only diplomacy can defuse the Iranian bomb; "NAQD" warns that the Arab revolutions are not as feminist as the West thinks; "Blätter" wants an enquiry into institutional racism in Germany; "Letras Libres" pays its respects to a rare revolutionary; "Arena" asks the bane of the Norwegian far-Right to explain Breivik; "Res Publica Nowa" struggles for objectivity amidst the tyranny of opinion; "Merkur" is still angry with Kohl; Springerin observes how artists lead the market when it comes to precarity; "L'Homme" finds that international development begins in the home; and "Vikerkaar" reads 150 years of Estonian thanatography.

Geir Gulliksen

Look at my dress

When I was 22 I wanted to find a different way of writing about being a man, says Norwegian novelist Geir Gulliksen. It should be possible to be as gentle as a boy or as reckless as a girl. But gender stereotypes have not changed as radically as we think. [Swedish version added] [more]

Andreas Harbsmeier

Literary perspectives: Denmark

The contemporary literary reservation

Committed, critical writing in Denmark is emerging from its sheltered existence in a literary reservation, in doing so collapsing the boundaries between the literary field and the broader public sphere, writes Andreas Harbsmeier. [Swedish version added] [more]

21.09.2010


Jacob Kimvall

The border fortification as symbol of freedom

The symbolic Berlin wall toppled on the anniversary of 1989 was historically inaccurate in one important respect: the dominoes were painted on both sides. Unity, clearly, was more important than remembering, writes Jacob Kimvall. [more]

Martin Hala

China through Zhuangzi's third eye

Twenty years after Tiananmen, the country is both different and same

In the twenty years since the Tiananmen Square massacre on 4 June 1989, China has risen from the ashes by engaging with the West economically and by manufacturing patriotic consent. But how long can the "rising dragon" continue to be impervious to history? [more]

Marci Shore

Legacies of "Judeo-Bolshevism"

Scenes from post-communist Poland

For young Polish Jews, many of whom reappropriated their Jewish identity after 1989, the historical injury of the Holocaust is often complicated by their grandparents' participation in the communist project. [Swedish version added] [more]

07.04.2010


Martin M. Simecka

Still not free

Why post-'89 history must go beyond self-diagnosis

The dissident generation of the 1970s and 1980s produced a body of work unprecedented in Czech history, says Martin Simecka. Yet it is precisely the monumentality of this generation's legacy that prevents the interpretation of the communist past going beyond self-diagnosis. [Swedish version added] [more]

Gabriella Håkansson

You're so cool!

On hardboiled masculinity in Laura Restrepo's "Leopardo al Sol"

Laura Restrepo is one of many contemporary Latin American authors seeking new routes for political writing. Like their 1940s predecessors in the hardboiled crime genre, Restrepo's women play a minor role, and at the same time are deeply menacing, writes Gabriella Håkansson. [more]

Stefan Jonsson

The first man

On the North, literature and colonialism

Nordic countries might not have a "classical" colonial past, writes Stefan Jonsson, yet a "northern colonialism" does exist. Any understanding of it must start with Nordic culture's view of nature and the myth of the "first man". [more]

Mike Davis, Mattias Hagberg

The new ecology of war

An interview with Mike Davis

"Global epidemics and global terrorism are two problems that principally emanated from the slums. When one talks about 'failed states' one often means 'failed cities' such as Gaza or Sadr City." Mike Davis talks in interview about the evolution of the neoliberal city. [more]

Klaus Ronneberger

The art of not becoming accustomed to anything

Precarious employment in flexible capitalism

The vast reserve army of workers in precarious employment are the avant-garde of post-Fordism, constantly opening up new avenues for self-exploitation. [more]

Sven-Eric Liedman

The rebirth of religion and enchanting materialism

While Europe is the exception in the global de-secularization of politics, theoretical interest in theological issues has been rising. Sven-Eric Liedman places "soft naturalism" against militant atheism and makes a plea for a "matérialisme enchanté". [more]

Geert Lovink

Blogging, the nihilist impulse

Instead of presenting blog entries as mere self-promotion, we should interpret them as decadent artefacts that remotely dismantle the broadcast model. Geert Lovink formulates a theory of weblogs that goes beyond the usual rhetoric of citizen journalism. [more]

Rainer Just

Against love

Seeking the literary traces of the Natascha Kampusch affair

"The birth of love out of the spirit of totalitarianism expressed itself in exemplary manner in the Kampusch abduction story. A person is shut in, all the others shut out -- that is the ideological core of romantic love." [more]

Les Back

Phobocity

London and the War on Terror

In London post-7/7, the wail of police sirens has become the soundtrack of the "phobocity". But the phobocity is not created by the suicide bombers alone -- politicians and journalists also trade on fear. [more]

Irena Maryniak

The Polish plumber and the image game

The Polish plumber is a cliché throughout Europe, which even the Polish tourist board has made use of. However, in the UK the joke veils a growing resentment towards workers from the new EU states. [more]

Staffan Granér

Hernando de Soto and the mystification of capital

Hernando de Soto argues that global poverty could be relieved by giving the poor official ownership of their property. But this argument is more likely to be used to defend the sacred right of private ownership. [more]

Roses, oranges... and coca

What remains of revolutions in the globalized world?

Unlike the Orange revolutionaries, Bolivian president Evo Morales challenges the global hierarchy -- hence his lukewarm reception in the West. [more]

Michael Azar

A barbarian in Beirut

Isreal's attempts to bomb Hezbollah out of Beirut has a precedent in Mossad's assassination of three PLO leaders in Beirut in 1973. Two years later, Lebanon found itself in the clutch of civil war, writes Michael Azar. [more]

Bat-Ami Bar On

An Arendtean Scaffold for Thinking About Terrorism

The response to the terrorist attacks on the United States on 11 of September 2001 is based on theories of war that no longer apply, says Bat-Ami Bar On. However, can politics without violence at all deal with the current versions of totalitarian violent terror? Bar On turns to Hannah Arendt to find an answer. [more]

Ulrich Beck

The cosmopolitan state

Towards a Realistic Utopia

The global terrorist threat is part of the risk society and blurs the distinction between internal and external security. Ulrich Beck concludes that in order to be able to deal with their national problems today's states have to de-nationalise and trans-nationalise themselves. [more]

Michael Hardt, Antonio Negri

Marx's Mole is Dead!

Globalisation and Communication

Drawing on their book Empire, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri show how the resistance of the working class has prefigured the globalisation of capital. Now, they contend, we face a new, universal order that accepts no boundaries or limits – Empire. [more]

Slavoj Zizek

The Morning After

Milosevic has reached the end of his road, but Serbia's journey to self-reconstruction has only just begun

The magic moment did come: Milosevics leadership is over. But what can Yugoslavia expect from its daily life once the exitement of victory has died down? Slavoj Zizek paints a picture of extreme capitalism going hand in hand with violent nationalism. [more]

Immanuel Wallerstein

The Politics of Euroscepticism

On Sept. 28, 2000, Denmark voted not to join the euro, an example of a persistent Euroscepticism. Denmark has been strongly marked by it, but it exists to some extent in most European countries. What lies behind this reluctance to move forward with Europe among a large minority of Europeans? [more]

Immanuel Wallerstein

The Racist Albatross

Social Science, Jörg Haider and Widerstand

Racism is an inescapable part of our history, of our present and of ourselves. Only when we realise this can we also understand the role of racism in the world-system, and only then are we able to interpret the successes of the populists and the extreme right – as well as the resistance that these successes have triggered. [more]

Slavoj Zizek

Why do we all love to hate Haider?

In the ”post-political era” the choice between Left and Right has lost its meaning, says Slavoj Zizek. The return of the extreme Right is the price that the ”Third Way” social democracy is paying for its renunciation of any radical political project. [more]

Lothar Baier

Happy is, who forgets

A flood of criticism hit Austria when the Freedom Party was included in the government. Self-appointed ”experts” deemed the alpine republic plague-infected and put it in quarantine. But in order to repudiate Austria, Europe has made itself blind of its own history, says Lothar Baier. [more]

Kafka, Prague, the small stage and the world theatre

Kafka's Prague 1914: With the war lurking around the corner and the threat of getting married to Felice Bauer hanging over his head Franz K walks the streets of the city. Drawing on the topography of Prague, Steve Sem-Sandberg makes visible some central lines in Kafka's prose and shows how he meticulously directs his own as well as Josef K's tours through Prague.

Kulturradikalismen och den praktiska nordismen

Den norske litteraturvetaren Eivind Tjønneland kritiserar unga norska författare och intellektuella för att retirera in i kulturkonservatism, nyreligiositet och självplågeri. Mot detta vill han ställa en revitaliserad kulturradikalism som har frigjort sig från en uttjänt, reflexmässig antiamerikanism och från den förutsägbara kritiken av populärkultur och konsumtionssamhälle.

Om nödvändigheten av en europeisk intellektuell offentlighet

Carl Henrik Fredriksson beskriver den digitala tidskriften Eurozine - ett försök skapa en motvikt till de alltmer koncentrerade mediestrukturerna, där väsentligheter inte får plats och enhetsideologin kväver varje "olikhet" som inte är pikant. [more]

Brought on by the global economic recession, the eurocrisis has been exacerbated by serious faults built into the monetary union.

Islam and democracy
The history of an approximation

http://www.eurozine.com/articles/2011-12-19-amirpur-en.html
In Iran, official revolutionary dogma has obliged "post-Islamist" philosophers to provide profound justifications for Islam's compatibility with democracy. Katajun Amirpur puts contemporary Iranian thinking on religion and politics in the context of Khomeini-era anti-westernism. [more]

Per Wirten
Where were you when Europe fell apart?

Too many Europeans have too long avoided the question of Europe, says Swedish writer Per Wirten. To prevent the EU from turning into a "post-democratic regime of bureaucrats", intellectuals need to stop mumbling and take the fear of Europe seriously. [more]
