Understanding European Movements
European social movements have been central to European history, politics, society and culture, and have had a global reach and impact. Yet they have rarely been taken on their own terms in the English-language literature, considered rather as counterpoints to the US experience. This has been exacerbated by the failure of Anglophone social movement theorists to pay attention to the substantial literatures in languages such as French, German, Spanish or Italian – and by the increasing global dominance of English in the production of news and other forms of media. This book sets out to take the European social movement experience seriously on its own terms, including: the European tradition ...

Global Democracy and the World Social Forums
The World Social Forum quickly became the largest political gathering in human history and continues to offer a direct challenge to the extreme inequities of corporate-led globalisation. It has expanded its presence and continues to be an exciting experiment in global and participatory democracy. The book's contributors have participated in World Social Forums around the globe. Recounting dozens of dramatic firsthand experiences, they draw on their knowledge of global politics to introduce the process, its foundations and relevance to ongoing transnational efforts toward democracy. This second edition of Global Democracy shows how the Forums have developed since their inception in 2001 and how they are now connected with other global movements including Occupy, the Arab Spring and beyond.

Soziale Medien in Protestbewegungen
Welche Rolle spielten die sozialen Medien – insbesondere Facebook und Twitter – bei der transnationalen Empörung nach der Finanzkrise? Das Buch analysiert diese Frage anhand der Proteste in Portugal, Spanien, USA, Großbritannien und Deutschland. Die Ergebnisse bringen Aufschluss, wie transnational die Kommunikation der Protestbewegungen in den Jahren 2011 und 2012 ausgerichtet war. Zudem wird deutlich, wozu die Aktivisten das Netz nutzten: zum inhaltlichen Diskurs, zur Organisation des Protests oder zur Verbreitung von Emotionen. Mit einem Vorwort von Bodo Hombach
Handbuch NGO-Kommunikation
Nichtregierungsorganisationen (NGO) haben in den letzten 20 Jahren stark an Bedeutung zugenommen. Die fortschreitende Globalisierung hat sie zu eigenständigen politischen Akteuren gemacht, deren Rolle von der Kontrolle bis zur aktiven politischen Mitgestaltung reicht. Und etablierte Institutionen wie Unternehmen, Staat und Kirche stecken in der Vertrauenskrise. Zudem stellen NGO einen besonderen Typ von Organisationen dar. Viele von ihnen sind Kommunikationsexperten. Doch Kommunikation ist bei ihnen mehr als nur eine Kompetenz unter vielen – sie ist die Kernkompetenz der Nichtregierungsorganisationen. An ihrer Kommunikationsfähigkeit bemisst sich ihr Erfolg. Dieses Buch sammelt und systematisiert das aktuelle Wissen zur Kommunikation von NGO auf interdisziplinärer und internationaler Basis.
Against Abstraction
In 2015, members of the philosophy department at the University of Madrid conducted an interview with Alberto Moreiras for the university’s digital archive. The resulting dialogues and the Spanish edition of this work, Marranismo e inscripción, o el abandono de la conciencia desdichada, are the basis for Against Abstraction, supplemented with an interview conducted for the Chilean journal Papel máquina. In these landmark conversations, Moreiras describes how, though he was initially committed to Latin American literary studies, he eventually transitioned to become an eminent scholar of critical theory, existential philosophy, and ultimately infrapolitics and posthegemony. Blending intell...
Pensar el 15M y otros textos
¿Hemos asistido a la explosión de una burbuja de espontánea “indignación”? ¿O se trata, más bien, de un movimiento astutamente programado por poderes ocultos? ¿Presenciamos un despertar generalizado de la conciencia o sólo la pataleta de quienes no desean despertar de su adictivo sueño de opulencia y progreso? Para clarificar la turbia mezcla de realidades que nos envuelven necesitamos tiempo y mentes lúcidas, y en este libro encontraremos algunas de ellas. Tenemos la responsabilidad de inventar otras maneras de vivir. De eso se trata, y no de retornar a esa Arcadia del Bienestar y el consumo, verdadero origen del estado de infrahumanidad e indignidad que padecemos y con el que muchas veces, a sabiendas o no, colaboramos.
