Landscapes of Survival: the Politics of Emotions in the Aftermath of Neoliberal Crises Landscapes of Survival: The Politics of Emotions in the Aftermath of Neoliberal Crises Angela Duran Real A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: Anthony Geist, Chair Kathleen Woodward Leigh Mercer Cynthia Steele Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Hispanic Studies ©Copyright 2019 Angela Duran Real University of Washington Abstract Landscapes of Survival: The Politics of Emotions in the Aftermath of Neoliberal Crises Angela Duran Real Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Anthony Geist Spanish and Portuguese Landscapes of Survival is an investigation of the affective life of neoliberalism. It takes the financial crises of 2001 in Argentina and 2008 in Spain to argue that, while both events have precipitated circumstances inherent to all economic crises—unemployment, austerity, migration, increased poverty—, they have also disclosed that crisis, far from being an extraordinary event, is for most a quotidian experience. In so doing, this work as a whole proposes that attention to the cultural politics of emotions sheds light on the nature of crisis as an ongoing condition under neoliberal governance. This dissertation advances recent cultural analysis of neoliberalism in the field of transatlantic Peninsular and Latin American studies that often lack particular attention to the centrality of the politics of emotions in processes of signification and subjectification. Landscapes of Survival begins with an analysis of the documentaries Otro Destino (Argentina, 2003) and En tierra extraña (Spain, 2015) to explore the feeling of loss that structures the lives of young migrants whose life projects have been overturned by the crises. The project then moves on to examine love as a political emotion in the movements for justice and liberation that have opposed the politics of austerity. In this chapter, the focus is on the Movimiento de Trabajadores Desocupados and Empresas Recuperadas por sus Trabajadores (Argentina) and the Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca (Spain). Landscapes of Survival ends with a discussion of the emergence of precarity as a structure of feeling by reading two post- financial crises novels, El trabajo (Aníbal Jarkowski, 2007) and La trabajadora (Elvira Navarro, 2014). The dissertation as a whole exposes that attention to the cultural politics of emotions in neoliberal societies is central to understanding not only how power works but also how power is resisted. To the memory of my parents Acknowledgments Landscapes of Survival has been a truly collaborative effort. And for that, I have many to thank. I wish to express my sincere gratitude to the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, which has provided me with the necessary funds to do this research in the midst of rocky times for doctoral education in the humanities. In particular, I have to thank my chair, Anthony Geist for being the absolute best mentor, the most fierce advocate of my work, and the friend I could count on when I needed it. Tony has not only given me the intellectual freedom I needed to develop my own ideas, he has cared for my well-being as a complex person with a life beyond graduate school. He has helped me navigate the difficulties of writing a dissertation while gently pushing me to always keep going, even when I doubted I could. He has believed in and supported my work as a public scholar, attentively listened to my professional plans outside of the academy, and validated them with respect and affection. Without Tony this work would not exist. I wish that someday I can be someone’s “Tony,” for we all know how much students need good mentors. I am also indebted to Leigh Mercer for all the times she has listened to my ideas, given me feedback, and encouraged me to be a bold thinker. Her fantastic observations about my work have greatly enhanced this project as well as my intellectual process. I would also like to thank Cynthia Steel who, when I contacted her after almost two years of non-communication, did not hesitate in offering me her unreserved support. I would need additional time to write about all the ways in which having Kathleen Woodward in my committee has shaped this project. Kathy has inspired Landscapes of Survival since the very beginning, for it was her microseminar on the emotions that laid the groundwork for the questions I have raised and for my methodological approach to answer them. She has also been a sharp, generous, and kind reader of my work, providing me with superb intellectual stimuli. For that, and for many other reasons, I will be forever grateful. I could not have done this work without the warmth and creative energy of my public scholarship community. Imagining America and PAGE have created the space for me to think big, to break the mold of what counts as intellectual work, and to blend theory and practice. During the years I was a PAGE co-director, I had the privilege to dream of more just and egalitarian worlds with my dear friends Kush Patel, Kira Pasquesi, Romo Almanza, Frances Lee, Gale Greenlee, and Lauren O’Brien. Dreaming about the impact of our labor in creating the world we want to live in has been the fuel that has kept me going through the long—and at times dark—road that grad school is. I owe so much to my friends and colleagues from Imagining America and PAGE for being a constant source of inspiration and support. I am also so very grateful to Alan-Michael Weatherford, my partner in crime for many of the community-engaged projects in which we have collaborated. Our work with University Beyond Bars has frequently been the highlight of my graduate education. I also have Sebastián López Vergara to thank for the sense of humor and lightness he has brought to the University Beyond Bar classes the three of us have taught together. When I moved to Seattle to pursue graduate education I did not know how much support I’d need to achieve this goal. I have been fortunate to share this journey with friends like Lise Lalonde, whose generosity and love have been essential during these past years; Céline Maillard, whose sense of humor and practicality have rescued me many times; and Sabrina Tatta, who besides being an amazing friend, makes the best cake and bread. I have shared frustrations, laughs, disappointments and lots of love with many others: Rocío Chueco Montilla, Julia de León, Belén, Laura, María, and Paloma have been the friends I needed when I needed them. Special thank you to my friends and editors, Annie Dwyer and Will Arighi, who have made my English sound beautiful while always encouraging me with their thoughtful comments. Finally my deepest love and thanks to my family, here and at the other side of the Atlantic. My brothers, Alfonso and Borja, and my aunts, Maite, Nati, and Pili never needed to fully understand what I was doing to always root for me. My niece, Mia, was born while I was working on my last chapter and her birth has inspired me in ways I cannot fully explain. I am so very grateful to my husband, partner, and friend, Joel Strom. He has believed in me, encouraged me, and patiently waited for me to finish. Without his unconditional support and love I simply could not have made it. He has also introduced me to the Stroms, who have become my family and community in Seattle. Kristine, Damon, Kaelyn, Curtis, and Truett Strom have cheered me up and brightened my days so many times. Audrey and Mark have nurtured me as one more of the family since the day they met me. Special thanks to Aunty Jan and Uncle Bill. With a generosity that is rare these days, they have welcomed us into their home so I could push through the last stage of the dissertation without having to worry about anything else. These final lines are indeed written from their home, which has felt like my own for the last few months.

  • The Reasons for the Mass Protests in Chile 2019/2020
    Institute for International Political Economy Berlin Chile Despertó – The Reasons for the Mass Protests in Chile 2019/2020 Author: Lea Sasse Working Paper, No. 166/2021 Editors: Sigrid Betzelt, Eckhard Hein (lead editor), Martina Metzger, Martina Sproll, Christina Teipen, Markus Wissen, Jennifer Pédussel Wu, Reingard Zimmer Chile Despertó – The Reasons for the Mass Protests in Chile 2019/2020 Lea Sasse Berlin School of Economics and Law Abstract: Starting on 18 October 2019, Chile experienced the largest mass protests in its history. The movement was immensely broad in its demands and diverse in tactics and participants. The citizens' discontent went beyond solely one issue, addressing a more equal welfare system and social justice, among other things. But it was not only about street protests; the social movement also caused an avalanche in social media exchanges and initiated a dialogue among Chileans in the form of neighbourhood associations. This paper argues that long-standing inequalities, the inability of politics to address them, a growing distancing of the population from politics, and the process of the citizens' politicisation were the reasons for the mass protests. Keywords: Social movements, Chile, inequality, mass protests, civil society, Latin America, social media, political opportunities, social justice JEL Codes: O54, I38, Z13, N36 Contact: Lea Sasse, Email: [email protected] Acknowledgements: I would like to thank José Magone and Hansjörg Herr for their support and helpful comments throughout the writing process of this work.

  • Lenguajes No-Verbales De La Acción Política Y La Movilización Callejera
    Research Article “This Is Not a Parade, It’s a Protest March”: Intertextuality, Citation, and Political Action on the Streets of Bolivia and Argentina Sian Lazar American Anthropologist Vol. 117, No. 2 June 2015 Lazar “This Is Not a Parade, It’s a Protest March” ABSTRACT Street demonstrations are a common form of political action across Latin America and globally. In this article, I explore some aspects of their symbolic and experiential power, with a focus on ideas of physical and visual intertextuality and their importance in the construction of political agency. I do so through an examination of the symbolic and aesthetic experiential politics of dances, parades, and demonstrations in Bolivia, suggesting that similarities between these practices constitute a kind of citation, which enables each to partake of the symbolic power and resonance of the others. I then investigate the similar political and symbolic work done in Argentine demonstrations by visual (and auditory) intertextuality—but in this case across practices separated by time. I argue that the concept of intertextuality enables an understanding of agency that is not confined to conscious human intentionality and that acknowledges readers as much as actors. [political ritual, street protests, intertextuality, citation, political agency, Bolivia, Argentina, Latin America] The Torchlight Parade happens on July 15 each year in El Alto and La Paz, Bolivia, to commemorate La Paz’s uprising against Spanish rule in 1809. In 2003, the Federation of Street Vendors in El Alto organized their participation by sending out a convocatoria to member associations. Convocatoria was the name for the piece of paper advertising the parade.

  • Social Revolution Or Political Takeover? the Argentine Collapse of 2001 Reassessed*
    Social Revolution or Political Takeover? The Argentine Collapse of 2001 Reassessed* Andrés Malamud** Abstract In 1995, the Peronist party held Argentina’s presidential office, a comfortable majority in both congressional chambers, and most provincial governorships and municipalities. In 2006, the political landscape looks exactly the same. However, between 2001 and 2002 the country arguably went through its most serious crisis ever, which led to massive popular uprisings, the early resignation of two presidents, and the largest debt default in international history. This article questions the widespread vision that sees the political collapse as a spontaneous and definite rupture with the past. Instead, it argues that the social revolt (a composite of cacerolazos, piquetes and asambleas) detonated in December 2001 was not only temporally and territorially limited, but also politically nurtured and institutionally bounded. Introduction In 1995, the Justicialista party held Argentina’s presidential office, a comfortable majority in both congressional chambers, and most provincial governorships and municipalities. In 2006, the political landscape looks exactly the same. However, between 2001 and 2002 the country arguably went through its most serious crisis ever, which led to massive popular uprisings, the early resignation of two presidents and the largest debt default in international history. This article questions a widespread vision that sees the collapse as a spontaneous and definite rupture with the past (for an exception see Levitsky and Murillo 2003). Instead, it argues that the social revolt detonated in December 2001 was not only temporally and territorially limited, but also politically nurtured and institutionally bounded. * A previous version of this article was delivered at the XXVI Latin American Studies Association Congress (LASA), San Juan, Puerto Rico, March 15-18, 2006.

  • Ecological Models of Musical Structure in Pop-Rock, 1950–2019
    Ecological Models of Musical Structure in Pop-rock, 1950–2019 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Nicholas J. Shea, M.A., B.Ed. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2020 Dissertation Committee: Anna Gawboy, Advisor and Dissertation Co-Advisor Nicole Biamonte, Dissertation Co-Advisor Daniel Shanahan David Clampitt Copyright by Nicholas J. Shea 2020 Abstract This dissertation explores the relationship between guitar performance and the functional components of musical organization in popular-music songs from 1954 to 2019. Under an ecological theory of affordances, three distinct interdisciplinary approaches are employed: empirical analyses of two stylistically contrasting databases of popular-music song transcriptions, a motion-capture study of performances by practicing musicians local to Columbus, Ohio, and close readings of works performed and/or composed by popular- music guitarists. Each offers gestural analyses that provide an alternative to the object- oriented approach of standard popular-music analysis, as well as clarification on issues related to style, such as the socially determined differences between “pop” and “rock” music. ii Dedication To Anna Gawboy, who is always in my corner. iii Acknowledgments Here I face the nearly insurmountable task of thanking those who have helped to develop this research. Even as all written and analytical content in this document is my own, I cannot deny the incredible value collaboration has brought to this inherently interdisciplinary study. I am extremely fortunate to have a small team of individuals on which I can rely for mentorship and support and whose research backgrounds contribute greatly to the domains of this document.

  • Carla Bruni Bio English 315.53 Kb
    Carla Bruni Released October 9th 2020 on Universal/Wrasse Released on July 10th, “Quelque Chose” was Carla Bruni’s first new original song since her album Little French Songs seven years ago. Since then the singer revisited a selection of international standards from a range of genres – from Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy the Silence” and the Rolling Stones’ “Miss You” to “Moon River” by Henry Mancini, popularized by Audrey Hepburn – in a collection titled French Touch, which was warmly welcomed by fans around the world (more than 250K albums sold worldwide). This project was successfully followed by an extensive international tour. Bruni, whose talents as an authentic singer-songwriter were discovered 18 years ago, is rarely without her notepads. She writes her songs by hand, a process that’s very important to her – she has an irrepressible need for this immediate contact between emotions and paper, and this passion shines through in the collection of songs on this new album. She wrote them in a slow process that accelerated into fruition over a few weeks last autumn. Month after month, something rose, just like in the first single of her new album "Quelque Chose", that speaks about the awakening of some mysterious thing. At the end of the journey is a return to the very essence of the artist’s feelings and a naturally eponymous album. As always with Bruni, the songs speak about the eternal desire to love and the great adventure of our lives but they also reveal an innate sense of freedom and fantasy. This eponymous album (released October 9th 2020) is the reflection of Carla Bruni herself, a wholehearted embracing of her true self.
