    Autonomist Marxist Theory and Practice in the Current Crisis Brian Marks1 University of Arizona School of Geography and Development [email protected] Abstract Autonomist Marxism is a political tendency premised on the autonomy of the proletariat. Working class autonomy is manifested in the self-activity of the working class independent of formal organizations and representations, the multiplicity of forms that struggles take, and the role of class composition in shaping the overall balance of power in capitalist societies, not least in the relationship of class struggles to the character of capitalist crises. Class composition analysis is applied here to narrate the recent history of capitalism leading up to the current crisis, giving particular attention to China and the United States. A global wave of struggles in the mid-2000s was constituitive of the kinds of working class responses to the crisis that unfolded in 2008-10. The circulation of those struggles and resultant trends of recomposition and/or decomposition are argued to be important factors in the balance of political forces across the varied geography of the present crisis. The whirlwind of crises and the autonomist perspective The whirlwind of crises (Marks, 2010) that swept the world in 2008, financial panic upon food crisis upon energy shock upon inflationary spiral, receded temporarily only to surge forward again, leaving us in a turbulent world, full of possibility and peril.

  • Displacement and Exile in Evelyn Waugh's Post-War Fiction
    Brno Studies in English Volume 42, No. 2, 2016 ISSN 0524-6881 DOI: 10.5817/BSE2016-2-6 Carlos Villar Flor Displacement and Exile in Evelyn Waugh’s Post-War Fiction Abstract Evelyn Waugh’s later fiction, especially his acclaimed trilogy known as Sword of Honour, is an indispensable source for a first-hand depiction of Britain’s in- volvement in the Second World War. Waugh’s millitary service in Croatia from 1944 to 1945 strengthened his concern for the predicament of the displaced per- sons and exiles he met there. Perhaps the clearest evidence of this new aware- ness is the privileged space that such characters find in these stories and the degree to which their suffering permeates the narratives they inhabit. My paper discuses Waugh’s treatment of displacement and exile in the final stages of the war trilogy and provides a historical background to his presentation of displaced persons, using Papastergiadis’s concept of deterritorialization as analytical tool. Keywords Evelyn Waugh; Sword of Honour; Scott-King’s Modern Europe; displacement; war refugees; World War II in literature For a first-hand depiction of Britain’s involvement in the Second World War, Evelyn Waugh’s later fiction is an indispensable source, especially his war trilogy known as Sword of Honour, which has received considerable critical acclaim.1 Very little, however, has been said about Waugh’s treatment of displacement and exile, even though these issues play a vital role in the final stages of the war tril- ogy. My paper sets out to fill this critical gap by providing a historical background to Waugh’s presentation of displaced persons, individuals removed from their na- tive country as refugees or prisoners who have managed to survive the slaughter but at the cost of becoming homeless, dispossessed and materially or spiritually humiliated.

  • Cultural Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution
    Cultural Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution Introduction In his poem, The Second Coming (1919), William Butler Yeats captured the moment we are now experiencing: Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. As we see the deterioration of the institutions created and fostered after the Second World War to create a climate in which peace and prosperity could flourish in Europe and beyond, it is important to understand the role played by diplomacy in securing the stability and strengthening the shared values of freedom and democracy that have marked this era for the nations of the world. It is most instructive to read the Inaugural Address of President John F. Kennedy, in which he encouraged Americans not only to do good things for their own country, but to do good things in the world. The creation of the Peace Corps is an example of the kind of spirit that put young American volunteers into some of the poorest nations in an effort to improve the standard of living for people around the globe. We knew we were leaders; we knew that we had many political and economic and social advantages. There was an impetus to share this wealth. Generosity, not greed, was the motivation of that generation. Of course, this did not begin with Kennedy. It was preceded by the Marshall Plan, one of the only times in history that the conqueror decided to rebuild the country of the vanquished foe.

  • Dear Colleagues, Dear Recipients of This Message, Please Find Enclosed
    Dear colleagues, dear recipients of this message, Please find enclosed the English text prepared based on two constitutional complaints lodged against the judgement of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Slovenia. This judgment set aside the judgment pronounced at the Slovenian “Nuremberg Trial” in 1946 against the most notorious Slovenian collaborationist leader and antisemite, thus violating human dignity and other complainants’ rights. The complaints filed are practically identical. Therefore, the translation only brings the first one, to which the complainants who have filed the second one is added. The constitutional complaints were prepared by Dr Miha Hafner and the undersigned, in cooperation with Dr Ljubo Bavcon. The translation was done by Želja Cilenšek Bončina and Irena Šumi. Added to the complaint are two introductory notes by Prof. Dr Ljubo Bavcon and the undersigned that were penned specifically for the press conference held at the occasion of lodging of the complaints. The translation will be sent to complainant organizations (the Associations of the National Liberation Movement of Slovenia; the Jewish Community of Slovenia; the City Municipality of Ljubljana), to individual complainants and both attorneys who have filed the constitutional complaints, as well as to our colleagues and friends abroad – in particular to those who have expressed their indignation with setting aside of the judgment against General Leon Rupnik. I am kindly asking you, in the name, and on behalf of the complainants, to use all the channels at your disposal including posting on the web and publishing in the media to draw attention to the setting aside of the judgment, and to the fact that two extensive, well-substantiated complaints have been filed with the Constitutional Court.

The War originally flowed from the political, economic and social problems of Germany after the First World War, which was a consequence of the harsh conditions of the Treaty of Versailles1. These problems which faced Germany were blamed on the unpopular and unstable Weimar Republic which replaced the old German autocratic government causing Germany to search for alternative leaders. Adolf Hitler, an Austrian born failed artist and soldier, attracted many German supporters through his concept of National Socialism, which would rescue the Fatherland and bring Germany many years of power and glory as he saw his Germans as the ‘master race’. Hitler brought forward many ideas for the German people in order for them to be a pure Aryan race. He would do this by conquering the land east of Germany in order for more lebensraum (living space) to live and work in. Hitler believed that the Jews, or Semites as he called them, were the greatest threat to the purity of the Germans. The Jews, as well as the political system of Russia (Communism) and also France needed to be destroyed as they were a threat to achieving ‘the master race’. All of these concepts were described in Hitler’s book Mein Kampf. Ultimately Hitler’s beliefs were integral to the cause of World War Two which resulted in the deaths of 72 million people in total.

  • Srebrenica Memorial Day 2019
    Srebrenica Memorial Day 2019 Interfaith Speech On the 11 July 1995, towards the end of the Bosnian war, a small town called Srebrenica (Sreh-breh- NEET-sah) was overrun by Bosnian Serb forces, commanded by General Ratko Mladić (Mla-ditch). In the days following, in the first ever UN declared “safe area”, Mladić’s men systematically murdered more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys and buried them in mass graves. The United Nations called this “the greatest atrocity on European soil since the Second World War”. The International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Tribunal ruled that the mass executions in Srebrenica constituted genocide. Judge Fouad Riad of the ICTY spoke of: “scenes of unimaginable savagery: thousands of men executed and buried in mass graves, hundreds of men buried alive, men and women mutilated and slaughtered, children killed before their mothers’ eyes, a grandfather forced to eat the liver of his own grandson. These are truly scenes from hell, written on the darkest pages of human history". Genocide does not happen overnight. Srebrenica marked the terrible conclusion of a brutal campaign of “ethnic cleansing” against Bosnian Muslims and Croats (who were mostly Roman Catholics), which had begun three years before in 1992. In the Prijedor (Pree-yeh-door) region of North Western Bosnia, Muslims were rounded up into concentration camps where they were tortured, starved, beaten, and subjected to sexual violence on an unprecedented scale. Thousands were murdered. Sarajevo (Sara-ya-voh), the multi-ethnic capital of the country, that just a few years before had hosted the Winter Olympics, became the subject of the longest siege in modern warfare.
