  • Markets Not Capitalism Explores the Gap Between Radically Freed Markets and the Capitalist-Controlled Markets That Prevail Today
    individualist anarchism against bosses, inequality, corporate power, and structural poverty Edited by Gary Chartier & Charles W. Johnson Individualist anarchists believe in mutual exchange, not economic privilege. They believe in freed markets, not capitalism. They defend a distinctive response to the challenges of ending global capitalism and achieving social justice: eliminate the political privileges that prop up capitalists. Massive concentrations of wealth, rigid economic hierarchies, and unsustainable modes of production are not the results of the market form, but of markets deformed and rigged by a network of state-secured controls and privileges to the business class. Markets Not Capitalism explores the gap between radically freed markets and the capitalist-controlled markets that prevail today. It explains how liberating market exchange from state capitalist privilege can abolish structural poverty, help working people take control over the conditions of their labor, and redistribute wealth and social power. Featuring discussions of socialism, capitalism, markets, ownership, labor struggle, grassroots privatization, intellectual property, health care, racism, sexism, and environmental issues, this unique collection brings together classic essays by Cleyre, and such contemporary innovators as Kevin Carson and Roderick Long. It introduces an eye-opening approach to radical social thought, rooted equally in libertarian socialism and market anarchism. “We on the left need a good shake to get us thinking, and these arguments for market anarchism do the job in lively and thoughtful fashion.” – Alexander Cockburn, editor and publisher, Counterpunch “Anarchy is not chaos; nor is it violence. This rich and provocative gathering of essays by anarchists past and present imagines society unburdened by state, markets un-warped by capitalism.

The New Tendency, which developed in a number of Ontario cities, represents one articulation of the Canadian New Left’s turn towards working-class organizing in the early 1970s after the student movement’s dissolution in the late 1960s. Influenced by dissident Marxist theorists associated with the Johnson-Forest Tendency and Italian workerism, The New Tendency sought to create alternative forms of working-class organizing that existed outside of, and often in direct opposition to, both the mainstream labour movement and Old Left organizations such as the Communist Party and the New Democratic Party. After examining the roots of the organization and the important legacies of class struggle in Windsor, the thesis explores how The New Tendency contributed to working-class self activity on the shop-floor of Windsor’s auto factories and in the community more broadly. However, this New Left mobilization was also hampered by inner-group sectarianism and a rapidly changing economic context.

The Academic Review and Planning Advisory Committee (ARPAC) conducts and writes the final reviews of all academic units on the Boulder campus. The unit prepared a self-study, which was reviewed by an internal review committee (IRC) of two CU Boulder faculty members from outside of the program. The internal reviewers certified that the self-study was largely accurate and complete, noting that there were some optional questions that it might be helpful to answer, which the unit has done. The IRC also conducted undergraduate and graduate surveys and met privately with two undergraduate students. An external review committee (ERC), consisting of two experts within the discipline from outside of the University of Colorado, visited the unit on April 12 and 13, 2016, reviewed the relevant documents, and met with the program director, one associate professor, three assistant professors, some graduate students, university administrators, and members of ARPAC. A meeting scheduled with undergraduates drew no attendees. The reviewers’ comments and recommendations are cited at the appropriate points throughout the report. This public document reflects the assessments and recommendations for the Film Studies Program approved by ARPAC.

Que ce soit dans sa production, sa création ou sa réception, l’évolution rapide des technologies numériques et l’apparition des nouveaux médias ont contraint l’industrie télévisuelle à changer, parfois contre son gré. C’est le cas de la chaîne généraliste américaine NBC, pour qui cette période de transition a été particulièrement difficile à traverser. Au cœur de ce moment charnière dans l’histoire de la télévision aux États-Unis, la sitcom Community (NBC, 2009- 2014; Yahoo!Screen, 2015) incarne et témoigne bien de différentes transformations amenées par cette convergence entre Internet et la télévision et des conséquences de cette dernière dans l’industrie télévisuelle. L’observation du parcours tumultueux de la comédie de situation ayant débuté sur les ondes de NBC dans le cadre de sa programmation Must-See TV, entre 2009 et 2014, avant de se terminer sur le service par contournement Yahoo! Screen, en 2015, permet de constater que Community est un objet télévisuel qui a constamment cherché à s’adapter à un média en pleine mutation.

  • Rothbard's Time on the Left
    ROTHBARD'S TIME ON THE LEFT MURRAY ROTHBARD DEVOTED HIS life to the struggle for liberty, but, as anyone who has made a similar commitment realizes, it is never exactly clear how that devotion should translate into action. Conse- quently, Rothbard formed strategic alliances with widely different groups throughout his career. Perhaps the most intriguing of these alliances is the one Rothbard formed with the New Left in the rnid- 1960s, especially considering their antithetical economic views. So why would the most free market of free-market economists reach out to a gaggle of assorted socialists? By the early 1960s, Roth- bard saw the New Right, exemplified by National Review, as perpet- ually wedded to the Cold War, which would quickly turn exponen- tially hotter in Vietnam, and the state interventions that accompanied it, so he set out looking for new allies. In the New Left, Rothbard found a group of scholars who opposed the Cold War and political centralization, and possessed a mass following with high growth potential. For this opportunity, Rothbard was willing to set economics somewhat to the side and settle on common ground, and, while his cooperation with the New Left never altered or caused him to hide any of his foundational beliefs, Rothbard's rhetoric shifted distinctly leftward during this period. It should be noted at the outset that Rothbard's pro-peace stance followed a long tradition of individualist intellectuals. Writing in the early 1970s, Rothbard described the antiwar activities of turn-of-the- century economist William Graham Sumner and merchant Edward Atkinson during the American conquest of the Philippines, and noted: In taking this stand, Atkinson, Surnner, and their colleagues were not being "sports"; they were following an anti-war, anti-imperial- ist tradition as old as classical liberalism itself.

  • La Posmodernidad Analiza La Sitcom: Community
    La Posmodernidad Analiza la Sitcom: Community Autor /a: Jaime Costas Nicolás Profesor/a: Iván Pintor Encrucijadas contemporáneas entre cine, televisión y cómic, primer trimestre, 2013-2014 Facultat de Comunicación Universitat Pompeu Fabra Resum / Resumen: Mucho se ha escrito sobre la relación entre posmodernismo y la sitcom Community. En el presente ensayo, a través del análisis de dos de sus episodios, no sólo se constata esta relación sino que se postula que en el centro argumental de la serie y en los engranajes que la hacen funcionar se encuentra la propia idea de posmodernismo y las diversas técnicas que han identificado este movimiento cultural. Paraules clau / Palabras clave: · Posmodernismo Community intertextualidad metaficción Abstract: Much has been written about the relationship between the situational comedy Community and postmodernism. In this essay, through the analysis of two of its episodes, we not only reassure this connection but we also argue that the narrative center of the show and the engines that make it move forward are the idea of postmodernism itself and the different techniques that have defined this cultural movement. Keywords: Postmodernism Community intertextuality metafiction La posmodernidad analiza la sitcom: Community En esta última década, la ficción televisiva está viviendo uno de sus mejores momentos en cuanto a calidad y variedad, gracias a una mayor complejidad narrativa o el uso de nuevas formas y géneros. Ya en los años noventa nos encontramos con los primeros indicios de esta explosión cualitativa, de ahí el nombre Quality TV, que vendría más adelante, con ficciones como la lynchiana Twin Peaks (1990 - 1991) o el archiconocido caso de la comedia que no trataba sobre nada, Seinfeld (1989 - 1998).
