  • 1 Post-Capitalist Development in Latin
    Post-capitalist Development in Latin America's Left Turn: beyond Peronism and the Magical State DRAFT Manuel Larrabure, PhD Submitted to Development and Change on September 21, 2017 Reference number: DECH-17-421 Abstract The persistence of struggles by popular sectors in the context of the pink tide has generated ongoing debates about how to interpret the region's left turn. For some, these movements are understood as forming part of a tense but ultimately productive relationship with left governments in the pursuit of post-neoliberal development. For others, it points to potentially irreconcilable political differences, and neoliberal continuities in pink tide governance. In this paper, I address these debates by presenting research on two social movements: Argentina's recuperated enterprises and Venezuela's popular economy. Using a Marxian-inspired, situated case study approach, I argue that these movements can be understood as 'post-capitalist struggles', that is, attempts to articulate new forms of democracy and cooperation that point beyond capitalism. As such, these movements push beyond the politics of Kirchnerismo and Chavismo that reproduce, albeit in new forms, the limitations to post-capitalist development associated with Peronism and the 'magical state'. These movements therefore reveal both the region's potential post-capitalist future, and the barriers that stand against it in the context of the region's latest phase of development. Lastly, these cases highlight the need to both re-assert and re-define one of the pink tide's political goals, namely regional integration. Latin America's Left Turn During the first decade and a half of the 21st-century, Latin American politics took a meaningful turn to the left.

Draft. It may be quoted if it is so noted. Beyond Occidentalism: Towards Post-Imperial Geohistorical Categories Fernando Coronil University of Michigan Are you sure it is my name? Have you got all my particulars? Do you already know my navigable blood, my geography full of dark mountains, of deep and bitter valleys that are not on the map? Nicolas GuillCn The Poetics of Lived Space Frantz Fanon begins the conclusion of Black Skins. White Masks, with the following epigraph taken from Marx's The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte: The social revolution... cannot draw its poetry from the past, but only from the future. It cannot begin with itself before it has stripped itself of all its superstitions concerning the past. Earlier revolutions relied on memories out of world history in order to drug themselves against their own content. In order to find their own content, the revolutions of the nineteenth century have to let the dead bury the dead. Before, the expression exceeded the content; now the content exceeds the expression (1967:223). Imagining a future that builds on the past but is not imprisoned by its horror, Fanon visualizes the making of a magnificent monument: "On the field of battle, its four comers marked by scores of Negroes hanged by their testicles, a monument is slowly built that promises to be majestic.

  • Latin American Postcolonial Studies and Global Decolonization
    Latin American postcolonial studies and global decolonization FERNANDO CORONIL Given the curiously rapid rise to prominence of "postcolonial studies" as an academic field in Western metropolitan centers since the late 198os, it is to be expected that its further development would involve efforts, like this one, to take stock of its regional expressions. Yet, while the rubric "Latin American postcolonial studies" suggests the existence of a regional body of knowledge under that name, in reality it points to a problem: there is no corpus of work on Latin America commonly recognized as "postcolonial." This problem is magnified by the multiple and often diverging meanings attributed to the signifier "postcolonial," by the heterogeneity of nations and peoples encompassed by the problematical term "Latin America," by the thoughtful critiques that have questioned the relevance of postcolonial studies for Latin America, and by the diversity and richness of reflections on Latin America's colonial and postcolonial history, many of which, like most nations in this region, long predate the field of postcolonial studies as it was developed in the r98os. How then to identify and examine a body of work that in reality does not appear to exist? How to define it without arbitrarily inventing or confining it? How to treat it as "postcolonial" without framing it in terms of the existing postcolonial canon and thus inevitably colonizing it? These challenging questions do not yield easy answers. Yet they call attention to the character of "postcolonial studies" as one among a diverse set of regional reflections on the forms and legacies of colonialism, or rather, colonia/isms.

  • CL Postcolonial Readings 397 Fall 2011
    RUTGERS, THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY PROGRAM IN COMPARATIVE LITERATURE Comparative Literature 397:01: “Postcolonial Readings of Colonialism in the Americas” Professor Yolanda Martínez-San Miguel Office hours: Mondays at the Institute for Research on Women (160 Ryders Lane, Douglass College) 1:00-2:00 p.m. or College Ave Student Center by appointment e-mail: [email protected] Class time: Wednesdays 3:00-6:00 p.m. Room: Comp Lit seminar Room, 195 College Ave. CAC Course description This course reviews a series of theoretical and cultural debates that take Latin American and Caribbean colonialism as a point of departure to reconsider advantages and pitfalls of postcolonial studies. The main contention of the course is that after the intense debate against the applicability of postcolonial studies to Latin America (Klor de Alva, Coronil, Mignolo, and Adorno), there is a new generation of scholars who are proposing postcolonial readings of colonial discourses. The course will develop its argument in three complementary directions. First, it will provide a general definition of colonialism, coloniality and postcolonialism (Osterhammel ,Said, Spivak, Bhabha, Loomba, Young and Quijano). Then, we will address the ways in which these debates have been inflected in two different geographical areas that share an extended period of colonialism, that in some cases includes more than one form of imperial domination: the Caribbean and Latin American Tierra Firme (1493- 1700) and the Postcolonial Anglo, French and Hispanic Caribbean (1930-2000). Finally, each one of these colonial experiences will be examined through cultural representations and symbolical productions to propose an alternative canon of postcolonial narratives that can be studied in a comparative framework.

  • Self-Interpretation, Agency, and the Objects of Anthropology: Reflections on a Genealogy
    Self-Interpretation, Agency, and the Objects of Anthropology: Reflections on a Genealogy WEBB KEANE Department of Anthropology, University of Michigan If there is anything that exemplifies a certain common style in ethnographical- ly-oriented approaches to culture and society today, and sets them apart from other kinds of social science, it is the habit, irritating to colleagues in some oth- er disciplines, frustrating to students, deemed perverse by potential funders, and bewildering to the public, of responding to explanations with the remark, “We need to complicate the story.” The words “reductionist” and “essentializing” are brandished with scorn. One important perspective is expressed by this remark by Jean and John Comaroff, two influential anthropologists with solid roots in longterm fieldwork, the sobriety of British social anthropology, and the tough- minded realism of the Marxist tradition: ethnography “refuses to put its trust in techniques that give more scientific methods their illusory objectivity: their commitment to standardized, a priori units of analysis, for example, or their re- liance on a depersonalizing gaze that separates subject from object” (1992:8). These words, offered almost in passing, take a host of important arguments as settled. One is that it is no longer in much dispute that cultural anthropology is not merely at an “immature” stage, en route to something more akin to natural science. Most significant, perhaps, is the assumption that the separation of sub- ject from object can be understood only in negative
