Since that day, 15M has had a tremendous impact on the way a large part of the Spanish population understands itself and its response-abilities and rights. In addition, 15M has affected the way in which a large part of the Spanish population understands its environment and those living-beings with whom said environment is co-created and co-inhabited. In this essay I immerse myself in an on-going non-disciplinary, multi- traditional multilogue with individuals being 15M. What I witness, feels and looks like a complex; mutating and dialogic; collective and cooperative; agonistic and transformative 'climate' that many refer to as el clima 15M (15m climate). Allowing different 15M wisdoms to frame the research, I envision this essay as an attempt at gaining a dialogical understanding of what it is that we might be speaking of when referring to 15M. Through this exploration, I seek to place my work within the sketched parameters of what James Tully refers to as public philosophy. The essay engages with individuals being 15M and with the vast literature in Spain around 15M and party-movement Podemos by academics and participants, and the European literature around populism, horizontality and Podemos grounded in iv Antonio Gramsci. It also draws on reciprocal elucidation literature in theory and in participatory, community-based social science. Moreover, the essay enters into dialogue with a whole body of literature on instrumental versus constitutive means- ends views of political change going back to Mahatma Gandhi and forward to Aldous Huxley, Richard Gregg, Hannah Arendt, Robert Young, Gene Sharp and Cesar Chavez. By giving ‘perspicuous representation’ or thick description of 15M by means of reciprocal elucidation, I am able to make a unique contribution to the theoretical literature on reciprocal elucidation and public philosophy. I am also able to disclose the field of 15M (the phenomenon) in a way that shows it to be different from the way 15M appears in other theoretical frames. Finally, the use of this method of reciprocal elucidation makes a unique contribution to community-based and engaged forms of social scientific research. v Table of Contents Supervisory committee……………………………………………………………......ii Abstract……………………………………………………………………………….iii Table of contents………………………………………………………………………v List of acronyms……………………………………………………………………...vii Acknowledgments…………………………………………………………………….ix Illustration of the route………………………………………………………………..xi Introduction…………………………………………………………………………..1 - Overview………………………………………………………………………….1 - Approach to the question of what is the phenomenon that calls itself 15M……...4 - Chapters one to four………………………………………………….6 - Chapters five and six…………………………………………………7 - The interviewing process ………………………………………………………..11 - This essay and the larger project………………………………………………...15 - Methodology and the place of the author in this essay………………………….18 - An introduction to the complex being 15M……………………………………..27 Chapter One 15Ms South of Madrid’s Puerta del Sol……………………………………………...38 - Contextualizing chapters one and two of this essay…………………………….38 - Andalucía ………………………………………………………………………..43 - Valencia…………………………………………………………………………84 Chapter Two 15Ms from Madrid’s Puerta del Sol to the North…………………………………….92 - Madrid…………………………………………………………………………....92 - Galicia…………………………………………………………………………..101 - Asturias…………………………………………………………………………118 - Cataluña………………………………………………………………………...131 - Closing remarks chapters one and two…………………………………………143 Chapter Three Different traditions co-being, co-interpreting and co-creating in the 15M climate...154 - Some clarifications about this chapter…………………………………………154 - 15M and 19th century traditions and events……………………………………160 - 15M and early 20th century (pre-civil war) traditions and events……………...163 - 15M and 20th century Spanish Civil War traditions and events………………..169 - 15M and late Francoism and Spanish Transition to democracy traditions and events……………………………………………………………………...173 - 15M and 1980s traditions and events…………………………………………..179 - 15M and 1990s traditions and events…………………………………………..183 - 15M and early 21st century traditions and events……………………....……...188 - Closing remarks………………………………………………………………..195 vi Chapter Four 15M imagined futures………………………………………………………………197 - Opening remarks………………………………………………………………..197 - 1.

  • Indigenous Maya Knowledge and the Possibility of Decolonizing Education in Guatemala
    Indigenous Maya Knowledge and the Possibility of Decolonizing Education in Guatemala by Vivian Michelle Jiménez Estrada A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Vivian Michelle Jiménez Estrada 2012 Indigenous Maya Knowledge and the Possibility of Decolonizing Education in Guatemala Vivian Michelle Jiménez Estrada Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education University of Toronto 2012 Abstract Maya peoples in Guatemala continue to practice their Indigenous knowledge in spite of the violence experienced since the Spanish invasion in 1524. From 1991 until 1996, the state and civil society signed a series of Peace Accords that promised to better meet the needs of the Maya, Xinka, Garífuna and non-Indigenous groups living there. In this context, how does the current educational system meet the varied needs of these groups? My research investigates the philosophy and praxis of Maya Indigenous knowledge (MIK) in broadly defined educational contexts through the stories of 17 diverse Maya professional women and men involved in educational reform that currently live and work in Guatemala City. How do they reclaim and apply their ancestral knowledge daily? What possible applications of MIK can transform society? The findings reveal that MIK promotes social change and healing within and outside institutionalized educational spaces and argues that academia needs to make room for Indigenous theorizing mainly in areas of education, gender, knowledge production, and nation building. I analyze these areas from anticolonial and critical Indigenous standpoints from which gender and Indigenous identities weave through the text.

  • Facultad De Derecho Grado En Derecho
    Facultad de Derecho Grado en Derecho Impugnación ante el Tribunal Constitucional de los actos del Parlament de Catalunya relativos al proceso "soberanista" Presentado por: Jónatan Pérez Diéguez Tutelado por: Juan Fernando Durán Alba Valladolid, 13 de julio de 2018 1 RESUMEN Durante esta última década, se ha ido expandiendo por la Comunidad Autónoma de Cataluña una corriente independentista que ha ido irrumpiendo cada vez con más fuerza tanto en las calles como en las instituciones políticas. Al mismo ritmo, el Parlament de Catalunya ha ido aprobando, con el apoyo de las fuerzas políticas más nacionalistas, una serie de actos, encuadrados en una “hoja de ruta”, con los que ha tratado de ir construyendo unas “estructuras de Estado” cuyo último fin era la independencia de Cataluña del Estado Español. Este Trabajo de Fin de Grado, por tanto, aborda los distintos procesos constitucionales que se han ido utilizando como vía a la impugnación de estos actos ante el Tribunal Constitucional, para salvaguardar los valores propios que garantiza la Constitución Española. Palabras clave: Constitución Española, Parlamento de Cataluña, Ley, Resolución, recurso de inconstitucionalidad, impugnación, recurso de amparo, sentencia, Tribunal Constitucional. ABSTRACT During this last decade, it has been expanding in the Autonomous Community of Catalonia, a pro-independence movement that has been breaking with increasing force both in the streets and in political institutions. At the same pace, the Catalonia’s Parliament has been approving, with the support of the most nationalist political forces, a series of acts, fitted in a "road map", with which they have tried to build "State structures" whose last purpose was the independence of Catalonia from the Spanish State.

This dissertation aims to fill this gap in the literature by exploring how migration politics are being fought over not only across society but also across territory in two well-researched cases of protracted nationalist mobilisation, Catalonia and Scotland. It meets three objectives: First, it introduces a theoretical framework accounting for sub-state elites’ and administrations’ boundary-making strategies in relation to immigrants and emigrants.
