L’esistenza di gruppi e testate rappresentò una vera e propria sorpresa accolta con un misto di stupore, di entusiasmo e di spe- ranze nella prospettiva di una prossima costruzione di una casa co- mune che segnasse finalmente il superamento di antiche divisioni. La frequentazione di circoli e persone, lo scambio epistolare e la lettura delle testate tuttavia avrebbero presto rivelato una compo- sita realtà per certi versi unificata da un patrimonio ideale e da pratiche che alcuni fuoriusciti bollarono come “deviazionismi” ge- nerati dal fascismo. Con ritmo accelerato dopo l’assestamento del fronte lungo la Gotica, emersero infatti diffuse commistioni rap- presentative e interpretative con porzioni del movimento repub- blicano in relazione alle lettura del fascismo e degli avvenimenti successivi al 25 luglio 1943.

  • Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930S
    Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Ariel Mae Lambe All rights reserved ABSTRACT Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe This dissertation shows that during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) diverse Cubans organized to support the Spanish Second Republic, overcoming differences to coalesce around a movement they defined as antifascism. Hundreds of Cuban volunteers—more than from any other Latin American country—traveled to Spain to fight for the Republic in both the International Brigades and the regular Republican forces, to provide medical care, and to serve in other support roles; children, women, and men back home worked together to raise substantial monetary and material aid for Spanish children during the war; and longstanding groups on the island including black associations, Freemasons, anarchists, and the Communist Party leveraged organizational and publishing resources to raise awareness, garner support, fund, and otherwise assist the cause. The dissertation studies Cuban antifascist individuals, campaigns, organizations, and networks operating transnationally to help the Spanish Republic, contextualizing these efforts in Cuba’s internal struggles of the 1930s. It argues that both transnational solidarity and domestic concerns defined Cuban antifascism. First, Cubans confronting crises of democracy at home and in Spain believed fascism threatened them directly. Citing examples in Ethiopia, China, Europe, and Latin America, Cuban antifascists—like many others—feared a worldwide menace posed by fascism’s spread.

  • On Photography, History, and Memory in Spain Hispanic Issues on Line Debates 3 (2011)
    2 Remembering Capa, Spain and the Legacy of Gerda Taro, 1936–1937 Hanno Hardt Press photographs are the public memory of their times; their presence in the public sphere has contributed significantly to the pictures in our heads on which we rely for a better understanding of the world. Some photographs have a special appeal, or an extraordinary power, which makes them icons of a particular era. They stand for social or political events and evoke the spirit of a period in history. They also help define our attitudes towards people or nations and, therefore, are important sources of emotional and intellectual power. War photography, in particular, renders imagery of this kind and easily becomes a source of propaganda as well. The Spanish Civil War (1936–39) was the European testing ground for new weapons strategies by the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Both aided their respective sides in the struggle between a Popular Front government— supported mainly by left-wing parties, workers, and an educated middle class—and “Nationalist” forces supported by conservative interests, the military, clergy, and landowners. The conflict resulted in about 500,000 deaths, thousands of exiles, and in a dictatorship that lasted until Franco’s death in 1975. It was a time when large-scale antifascist movements such as the Republican army, the International Brigades, the Workers’ Party of Marxist Unification, and anarchist militias (the Iron Column) united in their struggle against the military rebellion led by Francisco Franco. Foreigners joined the International Brigade, organized in their respective units, e.g., the Lincoln Battalion (USA), the British Battalion (UK), the Dabrowski Battalion (Poland), the Mackenzie-Papineau Battalion (Canada), and the Naftali Botwin Company (Poland and Spain, including a Jewish unit).

    EBRE 38 125 2- 2010 LES MATANCES DE PARACUELLOS1 THE MASSACRE OF PARACUELLOS Paul Preston The London School of Economics and Political Science Houghton Street. London. WC2A 2AE, UK. [email protected] Rebut: 19/08/2010 Acceptat: 16/09/2010 Resum A principis de novembre del 1936 les tropes del general Franco s’havien plantat davant Madrid. L’assalt a la capital s’endevinava imminent i inevitable. El dia 6 de novembre, en un context de caos, el govern de la República va marxar cap a València. Una Junta de Defensa impulsada pel general Miaja es va fer càrrec dels poder militars i civil. El buit de poder va ser audaçment cobert pel PCE que va aconseguir càrrecs estratègics amb competències en defensa i ordre públic. La Consejería de Orden Público de la Junta de Defensa va anar a raure a mans de Santiago Carrillo, que en poques hores va prendre mesures per reprimir la Cinquena Columna i reordenar les forces repressives. Un dels problemes candents que van trobar les noves autoritats fàctiques va ser l’elevat nombre de presos, simpatitzants dels sollevats, que havia a les presons de Madrid que, cas de ser alliberats, podien passar a enfortir el bàndol facciós. En principi els interns havien de ser evacuats, a la practica però molts d’ells, pel capbaix uns 2500, van ser assassinats prop Madrid, principalment en el poblet de Paracuellos del Jarama. Aquestes matances van erosionar de manera determinant la imatge internacional de la República. Els fets més greus es van donar els dies 7 i 8 de novembre, però les atrocitats van continuar fins a principis del mes de desembre.

  • Kurt Landau 1 (1903-1937)
    KURT LANDAU 1 (1903-1937) Kurt Landau nacque a Vienna il 29 gennaio 1903 da una famiglia ebrea agiata. A 18 anni, nel 1921, aderì al Kommunistische Partei Österreichs (KPÖ, Partito comunista austriaco) e, un anno dopo, divenne responsabile di sezione del quartiere viennese di Währing. Agli inizi del 1923 criticò duramente la parola d’ordine del «governo operaio» adottata nel novembre- dicembre 1922 dal IV Congresso Mondiale della Terza Internazionale Comunista (Komin- tern). Egli respinse la possibilità di formare dei governi di coalizione con i socialdemocratici, in quanto tale posizione costituiva per lui una revisione della teoria marxista dello Stato. Il suo atteggiamento lo collocò in tal modo su posizioni «ultrasinistre» simili a quelle di Ama- deo Bordiga. Nominato capo del dipartimento di agitazione e propaganda del Comitato Cen- trale del KPÖ e responsabile delle pagine culturali dell’organo del partito Die Rote Fahne (La Bandiera Rossa), assunse la difesa di Trotsky allorché la direzione del KPÖ mise in atto la campagna antitrotskista nel quadro della cosiddetta «bolscevizzazione». 1 Pubblichiamo di seguito la traduzione in lingua italiana della lunga nota biografica – che nella presente ver- sione è stata riveduta e ampliata, soprattutto grazie ad alcune indicazioni gentilmente fornite da Agustín Guilla- món – redatta in francese da Paolo Casciola e originariamente pubblicata in forma anonima sotto il titolo «En guise d’introduction: Kurt Landau (1903-1937)» nel reprint dell’opuscolo dello stesso Landau, La guerre civile en Autriche (1934), Quaderni Pietro Tresso, n. 67, dicembre 2008, pp. 3-7. Per la sua stesura l’autore si è basato principalmente sulla grande biografia di Landau scritta da Hans Schafranek, Das kurze Leben des Kurt Landau.

    BIBLIOGRAPHY GENERAL ISSUES SOCIAL THEORY AND SOCIAL SCIENCE ASCHENBRENNER, ERWIN. Kultur - Kolonialismus - Kreative Verweigerung. Ele- mente einer antikolonialistischen Kulturtheorie. [Sozialwissenschaftliche Studien zu internationalen Problemen, Band 145.] Verlag Breitenbach Publishers, Saar- briicken [etc.] 1990. 620 pp. DM 74.00. 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.

The thirty contributions in this Festschrift for the Franco-Grecian philosopher, econ- omist, psycho-analist and revolutionary theorist Cornelius Castoriadis are partly biographical (much information is provided about the group Socialisme ou Barbarie (1949-1967) to which Castoriadis belonged together with Claude Lefort and other people), but chiefly discuss the work of the man it celebrates.
