Political education in protest camps: spatialising dissensus and reconfiguring places of youth activist ritual in Mexico City
No full textThis chapter examines how young protest campers in post-1968 Mexico City engage in political education to the effect of reconfiguring places of ritualized activism and cultivating spaces of politics. The analysis identifies two countervailing processes: 1) political education creatively drawing on material and symbolic resources that sediment in places to intensify political antagonism, and 2) political education paradoxically reifying sedimented identities and vocabularies through which state power is exercised. The focus on young protest campers channelling their activism through categories by which the 1968 student movement and its repression are commemorated reveals that this mode of social reproduction may maintain a police order protest campers ostensibly converge to disrupt. It also shows that, for young people channelled along a lifecourse trajectory towards adulthood, political education may enable young activists to creatively articulate solidarities for more thoroughgoing disruption of state power.</p

The Anarchist Roots of Geography: Toward Spatial Emancipation
No full textIn 1882, conservative Parisian journalist Abert Delpit commented on the endorsing speech Élisée Reclus pronounced at the “free union” ceremony of his daughters Magali and Jeannie, who publicly celebrated the fact they went to live with two young men without any legal sanction from a mayor or a priest. Given that this event raised a huge scandal in French mainstream press, Delpit tried to explain the contradiction between the generalized praise of Reclus as a world-famous scientist and his deprecation as an “immoral” anarchist, by addressing Reclus's “psychological profile.” Delpit argued that Reclus's wanderings across mountains and forests, and his studies of the Earth's great phenomena, had thrown him in a sort of psychopathological condition that he called l'ivresse de la géographie (the inebriation of geography)
Intentions And Information In Discourse
Full text linkThis paper is about the flow of inference between communicative intentions, discourse structure and the domain during discourse processing. We augment a theory of discourse interpretation with a theory of distinct mental attitudes and reasoning about them, in order to provide an account of how the attitudes interact with reasoning about discourse structure. INTRODUCTION The flow of inference between communicative intentions and domain information is often essential to discourse processing. It is well reflected in this discourse from Moore and Pollack (1992): (1)a. George Bush supports big business. b. He's sure to veto House Bill 1711. There are at least three different interpretations. Consider Context 1: in this context the interpreter I believes that the author A wants to convince him that (1b) is true. For example, the context is one in which I has already uttered Bush won't veto any more bills. I reasons that A's linguistic behavior was intentional, and therefore that A believ..
