Unidos contra os usurpadores. AGRADECIMENTOS A lista de pessoas a quem devo agradecer é certamente muito longa. Seriam muitos os nomes a mencionar, e há também aqueles que posso ter esquecido mas que sem dúvida deram sua contribuição ao presente trabalho. Começando pelas pessoas diretamente envolvidas na produção desta dissertação, devo agradecer em primeiro lugar aos professores David Maciel, João Alberto e Walmir Barbosa. As observações, sugestões e críticas feitas pelos três professores foram indispensáveis para que eu chegasse ao final da empreitada, fazendo certamente algumas correções de curso. Devo agradecer especialmente ao meu orientador, David Maciel, por sua paciência e por ter sempre me estimulado, mesmo que discordando das minhas ideias em muitos momentos. Outro agradecimento especial vai para o professor João Alberto, que me apresentou o objeto e me orientou durante os primeiros estágios da pesquisa. Esta pesquisa foi financiada pela CAPES, e por isso sou também especialmente grato. A bolsa de pesquisa da CAPES me permitiu adquirir diversas obras importantes e viajar para o Rio de Janeiro para consultar a maior parte dos documentos em que se baseia o texto a seguir. Devo também um agradecimento especial a Ana, Rodrigo e a Phillipe e sua família, que me acolheram no Rio de Janeiro durante minha estadia para consultar o acervo da Biblioteca Nacional: sua amizade e apoio jamais serão esquecidos. Ana e Rodrigo merecem um agradecimento adicional por terem conferido para mim, quando eu já estava de volta, uma página de um documento que pensei ter esquecido de reproduzir: afinal era a página que faltava, não eu que a tinha esquecido. E um outro agradecimento vai para Alex, que fez-me o favor de obter informações sobre outro acervo. Quero agradecer também aos funcionários da Biblioteca Nacional, especialmente da seção de manuscritos, que fizeram tudo ao seu alcance para facilitar o meu trabalho e garantir o meu acesso à maior parte dos documentos consultados. Um agradecimento especial deve ser dedicado também à filha de Mário Pedrosa, Sra. Vera Pedrosa, que me deu autorização para reproduzir parte do acervo sobre seu pai na Biblioteca Nacional. Agradeço também aos meus companheiros de luta, que comigo sonharam e lutaram — e ainda sonham e lutam — por um mundo sem exploração e opressão. Meu agradecimento especial vai para os companheiros do Tarifa Zero Goiânia, da Frente de Luta, do Movimento Passe Livre, das ocupações de escolas e para aqueles que se dedicam a noticiar, apoiar e pensar sobre as lutas. Devo também um agradecimento ao camarada João Bernardo, sempre disposto a conversar sobre diversos assuntos e sempre apontando para questões estimulantes: sua contribuição é imensurável. Se este trabalho significa alguma coisa, é um esforço de análise e compreensão de certa trajetória da esquerda — que precisa se reformular urgentemente — para que possamos reavaliar as nossas trajetórias no presente. A escolha de um militante entre outros leva em conta que não apenas ele mas muitos outros seguiram pelo mesmo caminho ou por caminhos semelhantes. Estudar a obra de um militante é estudar a obra da esquerda, é claro que observando as mediações. Devo também agradecer aos meus amigos Carlos, Everton e Marcos. São amigos de longa data que ocupam um espaço importante em minha vida. Não posso deixar de mencionar os meus amigos e colegas da Graduação em História da UFG, que fizeram parte de um momento crucial em minha vida. Devo me lembrar também dos meus amigos e colegas do Programa de Pós-Graduação em História da UFG, alguns dos quais conversaram comigo sobre minha pesquisa e deram importantes sugestões. Por fim, meu maior agradecimento vai para um pequeno conjunto de pessoas muito especiais: minha mãe, Lúcia, meu pai, Israel, meu irmão, Ramón, e toda a minha família. Esta dissertação faz parte das dificuldades e sacrifícios por que passamos, e espero que represente uma das inúmeras conquistas da nossa família. E faz parte desse pequeno grupo de pessoas especiais a minha amada companheira, Nayara, a quem entrego meu coração para sempre... E mais um dia. Mão esquerda contra a direita. Tua alma e minha alma ― rentes. Fusão, beatitude que abrasa. Direita e esquerda — duas asas. Roda o tufão, o abismo fez-se Da asa esquerda à asa direita. MARINA TZVIETÁIEVA (1918) RESUMO OLIVEIRA, Fagner Enrique Fonseca de. Internacionalismo e nacionalismo em Mário Pedrosa: um estudo sobre sua obra política (1925-1966). 2016. 257 f. Dissertação (Mestrado em História). Programa de Pós-Graduação em História, Universidade Federal de Goiás. Goiânia. 2016. Esta pesquisa tem como objeto a obra política de Mário Pedrosa de 1925 a 1966. O estudo faz uso do modelo teórico-metodológico proposto por João Bernardo, e acompanha o percurso de Pedrosa por diversos grupos sociais, buscando compreender a evolução intelectual do autor a partir das ideologias expressas por tais grupos. O objetivo da obra é apresentar e fornecer uma explicação para a transição de Pedrosa do internacionalismo proletário para o nacionalismo terceiro-mundista. Essa explicação é centrada na trajetória institucional do autor, primeiro passando por grupos sociais vinculados à classe trabalhadora, depois passando por grupos sociais vinculados a várias classes, o que é interpretado como a porta de entrada para o nacionalismo terceiro-mundista. Este estudo vem para preencher uma lacuna na produção acadêmica sobre o autor, trazendo textos desconhecidos da autoria de Pedrosa, sobretudo dos anos 1950, que o situam no campo do nacionalismo anti-imperialista brasileiro, ao lado de intelectuais vinculados por exemplo ao ISEB e outras instituições. Pedrosa é mais conhecido por sua trajetória no âmbito das artes, no âmbito da cultura. E sua obra política mais conhecida, e para a qual há uma historiografia satisfatória, é a dos anos 1920. Assim, por meio desta dissertação, pretendemos apresentar uma evolução intelectual desconhecida no âmbito acadêmico. Palavras-chave: Marxismo. Internacionalismo. Nacionalismo. Terceiro Mundo. Estruturalismo. ABSTRACT OLIVEIRA, Fagner Enrique Fonseca. Internationalism and nationalism in Mario Pedrosa: a study of his political work (1925-1966). 2016. 257 f. Thesis (MA in History). Graduate Program in History, Federal University of Goiás. Goiânia. 2016. This research has as its object Mário Pedrosa's political work from 1925 to 1966. The study makes use of the theoretical and methodological model proposed by João Bernardo, and follows Pedrosa's course through several social groups, seeking to understand the intellectual evolution of the author from the ideologies expressed by such groups. The work's objective is to present and provide an explanation to Pedrosa's transition from proletarian internationalism to the Third World nationalism. That explanation centers on the author's institutional trajectory, first through social groups linked to the working class, then through social groups linked to various classes, which is interpreted as the gateway to the Third World nationalism. This study comes to fill a gap in academic research on the author, bringing unknown writings from Pedrosa, mostly from the 1950's, that set him within the field of Brazilian anti-imperialist nationalism, alongside intellectuals linked for instance to the ISEB and other institutions. Pedrosa is best known for his trajectory within the ambit of the arts, the ambit of culture. And his best known political work, and for there is a satisfactory historiographic production, is that one of the 1920's. Thus, through this thesis, we intend to present an intellectual evolution that is unknown in the academic ambit. Keywords: Marxism. Internationalism. Nationalism. Third World. Structuralism.

  • Romanian Political Science Review Vol. XXI, No. 1 2021
    Romanian Political Science Review vol. XXI, no. 1 2021 The end of the Cold War, and the extinction of communism both as an ideology and a practice of government, not only have made possible an unparalleled experiment in building a democratic order in Central and Eastern Europe, but have opened up a most extraordinary intellectual opportunity: to understand, compare and eventually appraise what had previously been neither understandable nor comparable. Studia Politica. Romanian Political Science Review was established in the realization that the problems and concerns of both new and old democracies are beginning to converge. The journal fosters the work of the first generations of Romanian political scientists permeated by a sense of critical engagement with European and American intellectual and political traditions that inspired and explained the modern notions of democracy, pluralism, political liberty, individual freedom, and civil rights. Believing that ideas do matter, the Editors share a common commitment as intellectuals and scholars to try to shed light on the major political problems facing Romania, a country that has recently undergone unprecedented political and social changes. They think of Studia Politica. Romanian Political Science Review as a challenge and a mandate to be involved in scholarly issues of fundamental importance, related not only to the democratization of Romanian polity and politics, to the “great transformation” that is taking place in Central and Eastern Europe, but also to the make-over of the assumptions and prospects of their discipline. They hope to be joined in by those scholars in other countries who feel that the demise of communism calls for a new political science able to reassess the very foundations of democratic ideals and procedures.

Parto da hipótese de que foram essas duas correntes ideológicas concorrentes que plasmaram, entre os anos 1920 e a Revolução Cubana, o universo político-ideológico das esquerdas latino-americanas, em particular, e das classes subalternas do subcontinente, de modo geral. O maior sucesso dos nacionalistas populares em ganhar a adesão dos trabalhadores se deveria à incompreensão dos comunistas em relação à especificidade da questão nacional na região, isto é: o caráter inconcluso da formação das “comunidades imaginadas” nacionais, tanto pela exclusão da cidadania de amplas camadas populares, como pela dependência externa.

  • An Appraisal of Ernest Gellner's Writings on Nationalism
    B.J.Pol.S. 27, 191–222 Copyright 1997 Cambridge University Press Printed in Great Britain On the Nature of Nationalism: An Appraisal of Ernest Gellner’s Writings on Nationalism BRENDAN O’LEARY* Ernest Gellner’s is the best-known modernist explanatory theory of nationalism. This article summarizes its expression and development before considering its strengths and weaknesses. Discussion centres on Gellner’s functionalist mode of explanation, the place of nationalism in his philosophy of history, the predictive and retrodictive nature of his theory, and the merits of his typology of nationalism. The apolitical character of his writings is emphasized: in particular, though Gellner established the connections between nationalism and egalitarianism in modern societies, he did not emphasize the mutually reinforcing relationships between nationalism, egalitarianism and democratization; moreover, his contempt for nationalist doctrines is not something liberals, socialists and conservatives need share. The theoretical problem is to separate the quite spurious ‘national’ and ‘natural’ justifications and explanations of nationalism, from the genuine, time- and context-bound roots of it. Ernest Gellner, Thought and Change, 1964, p. 151. Nationalism, the most potent principle of political legitimacy in the modem world, holds that the nation should be collectively and freely institutionally expressed, and ruled by its co-nationals. Recent events demonstrate nationalist movements retain the capacity to shake states and empires, as well as the pieties

  • Between Marxism and Liberal Democracy: Romanian Agrarianism As an Economic Third Way
    Between Marxism and Liberal Democracy: Romanian Agrarianism as an Economic Third Way Angela Harre Discourses on the dissolution of an idyllic “old society”, which was said to stand in a radical contradiction to a “disastrous and chaotic” modernity, are not at all limited to Eastern Europe. Already during the second half of the 19th century these, discourses also started to dominate within Western eco- nomic philosophy discussions. Debates concerning “Englishness” versus industrialization in Great Britain, ruralization versus industrialization in Germany or – respectively – “ruralizzazione o industrializzazione” in fascist Italy during the 1920s1 all had to do with the human wish of living in a sta- ble, clearly arranged community and the imputation of an ever-changing, modern civilization. In the Balkan states these debates were stimulated by Russian philoso- phers belonging to the Slavophil and Narodnik schools. Especially agrarian socialist ideas spread to these countries in connection with the exile of hun- dreds of Russian revolutionaries after the murder of Tsar Alexander II in 1881, and with Stolipyn’s agrarian reforms in 1906, culminating after the last European peasant revolt in Romania in 1907. There were apparent dif- ferences between Eastern and Western European philosophical thinking. In Western Europe, these discourses were dominated by an enormous trust in the power of an infinite human knowledge, which resulted in an unlimited optimism of economic and scientific progress, lasting as late as during the interwar period. This optimism seems to have been limited to Western Europe. Many Ro- manians had a reaction of frustration instead. They dealt with economic af- fairs already during the second half of the 19th century.

Print out the booklet and write in the gaps Download a copy and type in the gaps Record your answers on paper (use the same headings in your work as the page/section you are working from.) Whichever you choose, just keep your work safe! Extra challenge questions are optional. THE OPPONENTS OF TSARDOM – GROWTH OF OPPOSTION This section is about the growth of organisations committed to change and improve life in Russia. Some wanted to overthrow the Tsars (revolutionaries) and some wanted to work with him to make life better (reformers). They are important because they contributed to the Russian Revolutions which took part in 1917. Look out for: Their beliefs (what sort of Russia did they want to replace the Tsarist system?) Their methods (would they use violence? Did they want a small or mass organisation?) Their successes (did they get many followers? Did they change anything) There were two main types of group who opposed Tsardom: 1. Revolutionaries (extremists) –believed Russia could not progress unless tsarist system destroyed. 2. Reformers (liberals) – strong critics of Tsarist regime, but believed it could be changed for better by reform from within 1. Revolutionaries (extremists) There were 3 different groups of revolutionaries: a) Populists b) Social Revolutionaries (SRs) c) Social Democrats (SDs) a) Populists (Narodniks) ORIGINS: 1870s. VIEW: Tsarist system is flawed and must end. Future is in the hand of the peasants – mass of population. Peasants must take lead in transforming Russia.

  • Beyond Populism: from Scholarship to Politics in “New” Turkey
    Faculty of Social Sciences University of Helsinki Finland Beyond Populism: From Scholarship to Politics in “New” Turkey Halil Gürhanlı Doctoral Thesis To be presented for public examination with the permission of the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Helsinki, in Room 107, Athena Building, on the 10th of September, 2020 at 13:00. 1 ISBN 978-951-51-6485-8 (paperback) ISBN 978-951-51-6486-5 (PDF) Unigrafia Helsinki 2020 2 Abstract Lately, it has become almost a cliché to label Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan as populist. Turkish democracy’s dramatic backsliding under his Justice and Development Party (AKP) government is often raised as a reminder of why all who believe in democracy should protect it against populism and populists in their own societies. But this was generally not the case until the summer of 2013 when millions took to the streets as part of the nationwide anti- government protests. The ruthless way in which the government suppressed the protests reminded his liberal-minded supporters at home and abroad of other populists with a similar authoritarian streak. Once promoted as the “Nelson Mandela of Turkey”, Erdoğan was turned into its “New Sultan” almost overnight. On the first level, this dissertation examines the epistemological and ontological roots of the mainstream narrative by asking: How could Erdoğan government so suddenly turn from beloved democrats into wretched populists? Operationalising a post-foundationalist theory of populism, this dissertation demonstrates that rather than undergoing an ideological metamorphosis, the AKP government was a consistently populist force from the beginning. Understanding populism as a fundamentally neutral rather than necessarily anti-democratic discourse whereby “the people” as the only legitimate yet presently powerless source of sovereignty is discursively constructed in antagonism with an illegitimately powerful elite, this dissertation firmly categorises the AKP as a populist party from the moment it first appeared on Turkish political stage in 2001.

We usually know what’s liberalism, socialism or feminism and we are able to identify who belongs to their ideological communities. However, when it comes to populism, confusion arises to pin down the concept. Neither scholarly consensus exist for the definition of populism, nor there is a common agreement on the ideological ingredients derived from the populist perspective.
