  • Europa, Más Allá De La COVID-19
    18 de septiembre de 2020 Europa, más allá de la COVID-19 Clément Beaune | Secretario de Estado de Asuntos Europeos, Ministerio para Europa y Asuntos Exteriores de Francia | @CBeaune Versión original en francés: “L'Europe, par delà le COVID-19”, Politique étrangère, vol. 85, n° 3, otoño 2020 en L'Institut français des Relations internationales (Ifri). El acuerdo presupuestario europeo de julio de 2020 es inédito: creará por primera vez un endeudamiento común que permitirá reactivar las economías afectadas por la crisis de la COVID-19. Es el fruto del dinamismo franco-alemán y de ambiciones reiteradas de la Comisión Europea. En un mundo en el que las tensiones se afilan, Francia necesita a Europa para mantener su soberanía. La Unión Europea debe seguir evolucionando para afianzarse como potencia y responder a las expectativas de los ciudadanos. Unas semanas después del acuerdo presupuestario más ambicioso que se haya alcanzado jamás y que adoptó el Consejo Europeo el 21 de julio de 2020, resulta tentador pensar que, fielmente a un principio muy sabiamente repetido, “Europa sólo avanza con las crisis”, la COVID-19 lo ha cambiado todo en la Unión Europea (UE). Como todos los tópicos, éste también tiene algo de verdad. El salto en integración que se ha dado con el endeudamiento común de la UE es la fase de integración europea más importante que se ha producido desde la del euro; sin esta crisis hubiera resultado imposible. Pero, sobre todo, es cierto y también menos visible que este gran avance le debe mucho a un triángulo áureo que, por primera vez, ha recobrado el vigor de los años noventa: la pareja franco-alemana, estrechamente asociada a una Comisión Europea ambiciosa.

  • Parisian Noir
    Parisian Noir Kristin Ross riting in 1993, at the height of the “spatial turn” in cultural analysis, Rosalyn Deutsche drew our attention to the way in Wwhich the figure of the urban theorist—her examples are Edward Soja and Mike Davis—had merged with that of the private eye in noir fiction and film. Given that the city is both scene and object of noir investigation, she commented, the analogy between the detective’s disinterested search for the hidden truth of the city and the urban scholar’s critique of the capitalist city practically suggests itself.1 Deutsche does not go so far as to explicitly base her case on the centrality of one city—Los Angeles—to both the urban theory then being produced by Soja and Davis and a noir tradition that includes Raymond Chandler and Chinatown. Yet if the analogy works so seamlessly, it clearly has something to do with the way it springs unbidden from the set of representations, both written and figured, that make up an imaginary particular to Los Angeles. And it is also because an earlier subterranean migration between the two figures—a transfer of practices and point of view—had already laid the groundwork for an understanding of the detective himself as a kind of geographer, engaged in the mapping of social space. The detective as social geographer emerged in early essays by Fredric Jameson, writing about Chandler.2 The spatial paradigm provided by the meeting of Jameson, Chandler and the urban particularities of Los Angeles has largely overdetermined the way in which we read detective fiction.
