Las aportaciones que integran este número pretenden sumarse al proceso de reflexión sobre la globalización en curso. Son ya muchos los estudios que se ocupan de investigar los aspectos más diversos de un fenómeno tan complejo y poliédrico como este. Nuestra particular contribución consiste en ofrecer un examen amplio y detallado del Movimiento Antiglobalización o Alterglobalizador, con especial atención a las nuevas formas de organización y acción promovidas por las nuevas generaciones que participan en el Movimiento Global. Los primeros artículos están dedicados a caracterizar al “Movimiento de Movimientos”: sus orígenes y evolución, las asociaciones y redes sociales que lo integran, su estructuración interna, sus críticas a la globalización neoliberal y sus demandas, sus propuestas alternativas y, en fin, sus formas de acción. Las contribuciones siguientes examinan aspectos más sectoriales del activismo alterglobalizador El Movimiento Alterglobalizador es sumamente heterogéneo en todos sus aspectos –sociales, culturales, étnicos, políticos y organizativos-, y en modo alguno puede considerársele un movimiento exclusivamente juvenil. Sin embargo, la presencia y el protagonismo de los colectivos juveniles son en Jóvenes, globalizaciónaltermundistas y movimientos él muy considerables.

  • There's Nothing Anarchist About Eco- Fascism
    THERE’S NOTHING ANARCHIST ABOUT ECO- FASCISM Mexico, they responded with bewilderment, anger and disappointment that a group that is bombing and threatening them is being propped up in the us by some anarchists. This again speaks to the privilege theseus - based anarchists enjoy in treating its as an intellectual exercise while com- rades in Mexico are under attack by them. Since May, these platforms have posted a slew of articles and podcasts about its and personally attacking anarchists who criticize its. In response to the its statement threatening to kill me, one prominent anarchist in this vein wrote, “omg this shit is so hysterical. Wow.” And then promptly reposted it on their website. (It was later removed after numerous individuals pointed out that an anarchist site reposting death threats against anarchists was rather outrageous.) Most recently, this same grouping published Black Seed, a journal being distributed nationally that in part seeks to incorporate eco-extremism, in- cluding its, into green anarchism. A second edition of the eco-extremist journal Atassa is set to be published around year’s end, presumably again by Little Black Cart. This is pointed out not with the expectation that these individuals and projects will stop supporting its. Rather, it is so anarchists are aware of those in our circles who are providing legitimacy and cover for a group whose sole purpose is to murder people and who have a history of target- ing anarchists in particular. its has proclaimed itself an enemy to anar- chists. Its words and deeds reaffirm that. Why, then, should our enemies be welcome or tolerated in our spaces? ITSGOINGDOWN.ORG 11 Okupa Che as the first item on the agenda.

Identidad y Discurso”, es un trabajo que indaga sobre los rasgos identitarios de quienes en la actualidad deben ocupar un inmueble de forma ilegal en la ciudad autónoma de Buenos Aires. A su vez, rescata las concepciones que el Estado tiene respecto a estos actores sociales, y las existentes dentro de los Medios de Comunicación, precisamente en la ficción “Okupas” del director Bruno Stagnaro y dentro de un informe sobre “casas tomadas” emitido por el programa periodístico “La Liga” en el año 2007. Los elementos teórico conceptuales desarrollados giran en torno a tres conceptos claves: DISCURSO, IDENTIDAD Y CULTURA. La identidad como emergente de la cultura, y el discurso como el espacio en el que se producen las significaciones sociales. De esta forma, a través de una mirada comunicacional y desde una perspectiva sociocultural, esta tesis da cuenta las experiencias de vida de los ocupas, desnaturalizando aquellos discursos hegemónicos que predominan en el imaginario social, reconociendo las representaciones que allí aparecen de la cultura popular y definiendo qué elementos de esa totalidad pertenecen a los rasgos constitutivos en las prácticas reales.

  • Between Repression and Heroism: Young People's Politics in Mexico City After 1968 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillmen
    Between Repression and Heroism: Young People’s Politics in Mexico City After 1968 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 Jon Crane Graduate Program in Geography The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Mathew Coleman, Advisor Stephanie Smith Mary Thomas Copyrighted by Nicholas Jon Crane 2014 Abstract During the last four decades, diverse spokespeople for a post-1968 student left in Mexico City have developed an organized memory of 1968. Their commemorative reactivations of the year represent the state’s repression of the 1968 student movement on October 2, 1968 – in the shorthand, ‘Tlatelolco’ – as the point of departure for an antagonism that continues to run through young people’s politics today. This dissertation draws from eight rounds of ethnographic and historical fieldwork, and an engagement with theories of space, politics, and aesthetics (of Doreen Massey, Jacques Rancière, Michel Foucault, and Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari), to examine how and to what effect these spokespeople for Mexico City’s post-1968 student left have used Tlatelolco to mobilize for political engagement as well as how young people might practice politics otherwise. Analysis suggests that, in response to a first erasure immediately after Tlatelolco through which governing elites sought to cover up the massacre and downplayed their responsibility, activists and affiliated cultural producers (visual artists, writers, musicians, filmmakers, and so on) have established and continue to maintain a second erasure that reduces the multiplicity of politics in the late 1960s to a predictable, enduring antagonism between a force of repression embodied by the PRI and a heroic student movement that resists repression in the name of a self-sacrificing movement family.
