The aim of this doctoral thesis (Regensburg, 1989-1990) is to make a contribution to an anti-colonialist and non-Eurocentric theory of culture. The book consists of four more or less independent "tracts" in which, among other things, existing cultural theories are considered critically, the "essence" of culture is discussed and the liberating potential of traditional cultures is treated.

  • Revolution and Counterrevolution in Catalonia – Carlos Semprún Maura
    Revolution and Counterrevolution in Catalonia – Carlos Semprún Maura Introduction to the Spanish Edition I wrote this book between 1969 and 1971, when the tremors of the May-June 1968 outbreak in France had not yet subsided, and when a wide range of topics, new for many people, nourished actions, discussions, projects, journals and books. Among these topics, of course, were the libertarian revolutions and the shopworn theme of self-management. To me it seemed that the logical as well as the obvious thing to do was to participate in my own way in these discussions and in the critique of totalitarianism (“red” fascism as well as the “white” variety), by writing a book about the experiences of “self- management” in Catalonia and Aragon in 1936-1939, concerning which almost no one (if not absolutely no one) knew anything in France at that time. I was myself only then discovering the importance of these phenomena as I engaged in research and gathered documents and data for the book. During those same years, it had become fashionable for Parisian publishers to carry some “leftist” titles in their catalogues, in order to satisfy a new youthful customer base and to thus increase the profits of the various publishing houses. This book, however, was offered to a whole series of publishers without being accepted by any of them, until it was to “miraculously” find a home with a respectable, and originally Catholic, publisher (Mame), that was at the time attempting to change its image to keep pace with the times. My book did not bring it any good luck since its publisher went out of business shortly thereafter, sinking into the most total bankruptcy….

This contribution has been studied by comparing it to previous translation activity from Russian into Catalan, to translations in literary systems that due to prestige and geographical proximity can be considered neighbouring systems to the Catalan system (the French, the British and the Spanish), and by reviewing some of the critical reception that these publications gathered in the Catalan press of the time.

  • Nin Y Maurín: Vidas Paralelas Wilebaldo Solano [Conocemos A
    Nin y Maurín: vidas paralelas Wilebaldo Solano [Conocemos a Wilebaldo Solano como el último líder del POUM, el militante precoz que nunca abandonó sus ideales y su vinculación organizativa, mantenida hasta el último momento. Un tiempo que sobrepasa los ochenta años de acción, y que tuvieron su “guinda” en la secuencia de una presencia (extrañamente animosa considerando el estado de su enfermedad), a principios de mayo de este mismo año, y con motivo de la inauguración de la Biblioteca Andreu Nin en Barcelona, justo donde estaba el Hotel Colom que fue la sede central del POUM en tiempos de revolución. Pero seguramente lo conocemos menos como periodista político, animador de periódicos y revistas poumistas que lo fueron La Batalla en los largos años del exilio, y Tribuna Socialista en la que publicaron, entre otros, amigos como Michael Löwy. Esa obra está estructurada muy parcialmente en su libro El POUM en la historia, que editó a finales del siglo pasado en Libros de la Catarata, y del que todavía queda n resto disponible. Este trabajo forma parte de este libro, y se centra en las dos figuras mayores del POUM, y por extensión del marxismo por estos lares. Dentro del POUM, los orígenes “bloquistas” o “trotskistas”, marcaron mucho, y fueron pocos los que superaron esta dicotomía.
