Liberal intervention in the foreign policy thinking of Tony Blair and David Cameron
No full textDavid Cameron was a critic of Tony Blair’s doctrine of the international community, which was used to justify war in Kosovo and more controversially in Iraq, suggesting caution in projecting military force abroad while in opposition. However, and in spite of making severe cuts to the defence budget, the Cameron-led Coalition government signed Britain up to a military intervention in Libya within a year of coming into office. What does this say about the place liberal interventionism occupies in contemporary British foreign policy? To answer this question, this article studies the nature of what we describe as the ‘bounded liberal’ tradition that has informed British foreign policy thinking since 1945, suggesting that it puts a distinctly UK national twist on conventional conservative thought about international affairs. Its components are: scepticism of grand schemes to remake the world; instinctive Atlanticism; security through collective endeavour; and anti-appeasement. We then compare and contrast the conditions for intervention set out by Tony Blair and David Cameron. We explain the similarities but crucially also the vital differences between the two leaders’ thinking on intervention, with particular reference to Cameron’s perception that Downing Street needed to loosen its control over foreign policy-making after Iraq. Our argument is that policy substance, policy style and party political dilemmas prompted Blair and Cameron to reconnect British foreign policy with its ethical roots, ingraining a bounded liberal posture to British foreign policy after the moral bankruptcy of the John Major years. This return to a patient, pragmatic and ethically informed foreign policy meant that military operations in Kosovo and Libya were undertaken in quite different circumstances, yet came to be justified by similar arguments from the two leaders

CASE STUDY: ZULUETA´S RAPTURE. Writtings from inside and outside the Academics on trial
No full textThe present text is divided into two parts: a presentation and a paper. First, in italics, I present what could be called “Case Study: Zulueta’s Rapture” and propose some reflections on its meaning within the framework of current university practices surrounding knowledge. Next to take the stand is the paper itself, the object of the trial, whose author proposes a political reading of the film Rapture (Arrebato in the original Spanish) by Iván Zulueta. Lastly, some conclusions are offered. I will say no more; the text has a complex structure and is best judged by reading it
The Time of Montage. A lecture in the form of a dialogue
No full textIn this lecture-conversation, Isabel de Naverán and Leire Vergara offer an array of readings, life experiences and descriptions of films in order to address the concept of montage as applied to contemporary choreography and curatorial work.Taking the description of several scenes as a point of departure, the authors propose an understanding of montage (both in exhibits and in choreography) based on a specific temporality in which peripheral elements and everyday life lend intention and meaning to the work. In this partially scripted conversation the authors exchange their perspectives on the white cube and the black box, and question some of the dynamics of those two mechanisms.The Time of Montage has been staged on three occasions. The first was in the Teatro Pradillo in Madrid, in the context of Laboratorio 987 (2013) organized by Chus Domínguez, Nilo Gallego and Silvia Zayas and the cycle of exhibits Form and Vouloir-dire curated by Leire Vergara in 2012 at the MUSAC (Museum of Contemporary Art of Castille and Leon), the second was in the Laboratorio 987 at MUSAC within the same initiative, and the third time in Sukaldea-Tabakalera in San Sebastián (2014) as part of the program Paracinema curated by Esperanza Collado. Each staging involved some changes to the text, the props and the dialogue conducted afterwards.RE-VISIONES presents a new version of the lecture, including the transcription and translation into English of the first two points proposed by each author, and a video recording of the lecture as staged at the Teatro Pradillo
Putting the World to Work
No full textThis text is a translation of the recently published book’s Introduction by Cara New Daggett, The Birth of Energy: Fossil Fuels, Thermodynamics, and the Politics of Work (Durham, Duke University Press, 2019), where this author records how 19th-century cultural imaginaries (particularly those gestated in the British Isles) were deeply convulsed by the articulation of two specific phenomena: on one hand, the creation of a new fossil fuel-based industrial production regime (in particular the massive use of coal) and the increase in employee productivity (subject to the logic of relative capital plusvalia, i.e. the work intensification for each unit of time); on the other hand, the emergence of a new concept of energy around thermodynamic science , which legitimized productive imaginaries and fossil imperialism through the theological perception of nature as an infinite source of resources at the service of human material progress (Western).Original publication: "Introduction: Putting the World to Work," in The Birth of Energy, Cara Daggett, pp. 1-14.

“Desde mi cama, revuelta”. Reflexiones tullidas para una revolución en horizontal= "From my bed, revolted". Crippled reflections for a horizontal revolution.
No full textResumenEn “Teoría de la Mujer Enferma” la autora Johanna Hedva (2018) pregunta ¿cómo se rompe la ventana de un banco con un ladrillo si no puedes salir de la cama?, para referirse a los modos de protesta y participación que son permitidos para las personas enfermas. En un mundo donde la protesta y la revolución se manifiestan en acciones públicas, ¿qué formas de revuelta y tácticas de resistencia son posibles para los cuerpos que no son físicamente capaces de situarse en la calle? Este artículo busca responder a esta pregunta proponiendo una revisión a nuestras prácticas de revuelta y revolución, lidiando con las implicaciones de lo que ambas excluyen. Basándome en materiales de mi investigación doctoral, la cual explora experiencias de mujeres con dolor cronificado, utilizo fotografías y extractos de una de las entrevistas realizadas durante el trabajo de campo, para proponer visualidades e imaginarios radicales que las personas enfermas o con discapacidad emplean cada día. En otras palabras, este artículo propone una reflexión de formas de revuelta y tácticas de resistencia tullidas para pensar en cómo se vive una revolución en horizontal.AbstractIn "Sick Woman Theory" author Johanna Hedva (2018) asks "how do you throw a brick through the window of a bank if you can't get out of bed?", to refer to the modes of protest and participation that are permissible for sick people. In a world where protest and revolution are manifested in public actions, what forms of revolt and tactics of resistance are possible for bodies that are physically unable to situate themselves in the street? This article seeks to answer this question by proposing a revision to our practices of revolt and revolution, grappling with the implications of what both exclude. Drawing on materials from my doctoral research, which explores the experiences of women with chronic pain, I use photographs and excerpts from one of the interviews conducted during fieldwork to propose radical visualities and imaginaries that sick or disabled people employ every day. In other words, this article proposes a reflection of forms of revolt and crippled resistance tactics to think about how a revolution is lived horizontally
