Expanding Citizenship' Under Gobiernos Del Cambio Picture by José Javier Martín Espartosa 'EXPANDING the CITIZENSIP' UNDER GOBIERNOS DEL CAMBIO? THE CASE OF THE MIGRANT STREET VENDORS' UNION AND AHORA MADRID BY PAOLA LEENHOUTS GONZÁLEZ-ESPEJO ERASMUS MUNDUS MASTER COURSE IN URBAN STUDIES [4CITIES] SEPTEMBER, 2019 SUPERVISOR:PROF. MARGARITA BARAÑANO CID SECOND READER: PROF. BAS VAN HEUR Abstract During these last few decades, globalization, its scalar re-configurations and transnational migration have profoundly challenged the notion of citizenship, putting into question its meaning and its conceptualization beyond legal and territorial dimensions. Around the world, several “illegal” migrants and allies have mobilized to demand a right to citizenship. Some of these movements have been extensively covered such as the 1990s French Sans Papier movement or the early 2000s Spanish mobilizations (Barbero, 2012; Varela Huerta, 2013) while other fights remain untheorized. Moreover, the articles tend to focus on the migrant movement’s internal functioning, completely omitting an in-depth analysis of the political contexts which condition their genesis and activity. This MA thesis attempts to fill in this empirical gap by examining the Spanish case of the Sindicato de Manteros y Lateros (Madrid) formed by “irregular” sub-Saharan transnational migrants and allies which collectively demand the provision of papeles and the depenalization of street vending in urban centers. In light of the analogous rise to power of the so-called progressive “gobiernos del cambio” in Madrid and other Spanish cities, which have placed municipalism and the figure of the citizen at the center of their policies and discourse, it becomes particularly interesting to analyze the actors and actions in which both “gobiernos del cambio” and unions debated on the potential shifting boundaries of liberal democratic citizenship, against a context of raising nationalism and xenophobia across Europe. Keywords: Street Vending, Manteros, Migrants, Sin Papeles, Citizenship, Gobiernos del Cambio, Madrid, Spain ​ Abstrakt In den letzten Jahrzehnten haben die Globalisierung, ihre skalaren Neukonfigurationen und die transnationale Migration den Begriff der Staatsbürgerschaft zutiefst in Frage gestellt und ihre Bedeutung und ihre Konzeptualisierung jenseits rechtlicher und territorialer Dimensionen in Frage gestellt. Weltweit haben sich mehrere "illegale" Migranten und Verbündete mobilisiert, um ein Recht auf Staatsbürgerschaft zu fordern. Einige dieser Bewegungen wurden ausführlich behandelt, wie die französische Sans-Papier-Bewegung der 90er Jahre oder die spanischen Mobilisierungen Anfang der 2000er Jahre (Barbero, 2012; Varela Huerta, 2013), während andere Kämpfe noch nicht theoretisiert sind. Darüber hinaus konzentrieren sich die Artikel eher auf das interne Funktionieren der Migrantenbewegung und lassen eine eingehende Analyse der politischen Kontexte, die ihre Entstehung und Aktivität bestimmen, völlig außer Acht. Diese Masterarbeit versucht, diese empirische Lücke zu schließen, indem sie den spanischen Fall des Sindicato de Manteros y Lateros (Madrid) untersucht, der von "irregulären" transnationalen Migranten und Verbündeten südlich der Sahara gebildet wurde, die gemeinsam die Bereitstellung von Papeln und die Depenalisierung des Street Vending in städtischen Zentren fordern. Angesichts des analogen Machtzuwachses der so genannten progressiven "Gobiernos del cambio" in Madrid und anderen spanischen Städten, die den Kommunalismus und die Figur des Bürgers in den Mittelpunkt ihrer Politik und ihres Diskurses gestellt haben, wird es besonders interessant, die Akteure und Aktionen zu analysieren, in denen sowohl "Gobiernos del cambio" als auch Gewerkschaften über die möglichen sich verschiebenden Grenzen der liberal-demokratischen Staatsbürgerschaft diskutierten, vor dem Hintergrund, Nationalismus und Fremdenfeindlichkeit in ganz Europa zu erhöhen. Schlüsselwörter: Straßenverkauf, Manteros, Migranten, Sin Papeles, Staatsbürgerschaft, Gobiernos del Cambio, Madrid, ​ Spanien. 2 Table of contents Preface 5 Acknowledgements 6 Introduction 8 Approaching the Object and Subject(s) 8 (Politically) Contextualizing the Subject(s) 9 Research Questions 12 Objectives, Aims & Disclaimers 12 Methodology 14 Case study 14 Research Methods 15 Interviews 15 Legal documents & Policy analysis 17 Media Analysis 18 Demographic Data 19 Participant Observation 19 Reflection on Research Process and Challenges 20 Literature Review 22 Chapter 1 – Globalization and Migration: The Whole World on the Move? 22 Chapter 2 – Dissecting Citizenship: from Liberal Democratic to Insurgence and Acts 27 Chapter 3 – Towards a Social Movement Of ‘Insurgent Citizens’? 30 Results & Analysis 33 Act 1 - An Initial Approximation to Top Manta: The production of the Object of Politics 33 Global Space/Local Place: Migration in Madrid 33 The Multi-scalar Legal Production of “Illegality” 36 Media Representations of Manteros 40 Manteros are… 40 GoC and governance 41 The voices from the margins: the Unions and the Left 42 Interim conclusion of Act 1 42 Act 2 - The Construction of a Political Subject: The Migrant Street Vendors’ Union 43 Immunizing against the “un-memory” of the top manta struggle 43 Mapping Actors 46 The Narratives and the Scales 48 Act 3 - A (partial) Reconstruction of the “Chronology of the Conflict” 51 Discussion and Conclusion 54 References 56 3 4 Preface It was Spring in Vienna when we were asked to come up with a topic for our MA thesis. I struggled to make a choice among all of my interests: gender and the city, graffiti, migration, public spaces, squatters… My polyamourous relationship with urban topics proved to be impractical for once and making a choice seemed to be the biggest challenge so far. I still remember the day this changed: March 15, 2018. My Twitter, Instagram and Facebook feed were saturated with images of people rioting in one of the most multicultural neighborhoods of my dear hometown, Madrid. I quickly searched to find the igniting spark of these riots by reading the news and exhausting my feed, and all I could find was a collection of incoherent versions of the death of Mame Mbaye Ndiaye, a Senegalese “illegal” street vendor. Assisted by several municipal police agents, he lost his life from a cardiac arrest in Calle del Oso causing a proliferation of contradictory versions of the ​ ​ accountability of his death: neighbors of Lavapiés, the Senegalese community, municipal police, the major, the security councillor, opposition parties, the media... Many of these voices contradicted each other and the silence of Ahora Madrid’s City Hall, seen as a synonym of democratic renewal, equal rights ​ ​ and transparency for the majority of Madrileñas who voted in 2015, became after that day a source of ​ ​ disappointment to many. This disappointment was also voiced by a street vendor (self-proclaimed) union, which I came to know after these tragic events had taken place and whose activity I started to closely follow since then. Chasing a hunch, I undusted an embryonic project I came up with, prior to my 4Cities enrollment. Originally, I had conceived a photographic project of migrants’ various “informal” ways of earning a living in Madrid, but I quickly discarded it because A) I am not a good photographer and B) I was paralyzed by all the possible problems that the tensions between (in)visibility and (il)legality can bring about. Ruminating on this last point, I came to realize that the street vendor union, was actually catalyzing this tension in a radical way: “illegal” and “invisible” people making themselves “visible” to become “legal”. I needed to explore this further, to hear these stories myself, to understand what and how these tensions were being (re-)articulated. In Cità Futtura (1917), Gramsci wrote: “I hate the indifferent. I believe [...] that "living means being partisan". There cannot be only men1, strangers to the city. Those who really live cannot but be citizens, and take sides. Indifference is abulia, it is parasitism, it is cowardice, it is not life. So I hate the indifferent.” Thus, as a citizen who lives to understand cities, I was confronted with the choice of ​ remaining indifferent to Mbaye’s death and the demands of the union, or embarking upon this exploration of the struggle for citizenship of others, and in the way maybe discover what it means to myself too. And so, I chose to take sides and I decided I had found my topic, or rather the topic had found me. 1 Specially not only men, Antonio! 5 6 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my mother for being my vital source of inspiration and support. Without her, my attendance to this programme would have remained a fantasy. I would also like to thank all of my 4Cities colleagues (and in particular my two rocks, Serafina and Ignasi): for these two years of laughter, long walks, massive potlucks, library days, beers and tears. It was a very special experience to meet each and every one of you! A very special thanks to my thesis supervisor Professor Margarita Barañano, for transmitting me confidence, helping me out to reach institutional actors for interviews, encouraging me to delve deeper into theory and to remain curious. Lastly, I wanted to send a message of appreciation to every participant who has dedicated time and shared their views with me, without you my study would be deaf to a complex reality. This work is dedicated to all the manteros I met. Thank you for trusting me with ​ your life stories. Your stories of dreams, hope, struggle and hardship, survival

By training the very best leaders, developing powerful new ideas, and disseminating innovative solutions and institutional reforms, the Ash Center’s goal is to meet the profound challenges facing the world’s citizens. Our Occasional Papers Series highlights new research and commentary that we hope will engage our readers and prompt an energetic exchange of ideas in the public policy community. This paper is contributed by Quinton Mayne, Ford Foundation Associate Profes- sor of Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School and an Ash Center faculty associate, and Cecilia Nicolini, a former Ash Center Research Fellow and a current advisor to the president of Argentina. The paper addresses issues that lie at the heart of the work of the Ash Center—urban governance, democratic deepening, participatory innova- tions, and civic technology. It does this through a study of the fascinating rise of Ahora Madrid, a progressive electoral alliance that—to the surprise of onlookers—managed to gain political control, just a few months after being formed, of the Spanish capital following the 2015 municipal elections. Headed by the unassuming figure of Manuela Carmena, a former judge, Ahora Madrid won voters over with a bold agenda that reimagined the relationship between citizens and city hall.

  • “El Mal Querer De Rosalía: Análisis Estético, Audiovisual E Interpretativo”
    UNIVERSIDAD POLITECNICA DE VALENCIA ESCUELA POLITECNICA SUPERIOR DE GANDIA “El mal querer de Rosalía: análisis estético, audiovisual e interpretativo” TRABAJO FINAL DE GRADO Autor/a: Silvia Vaquero Tramoyeres Tutor/a: Nadia Alonso López GANDIA, 2020 1 Resumen En 2018 la cantante Rosalía publicó el álbum que la ha llevado a la fama mundial, titulado El mal querer. Este disco ha resultado ser un producto interesante más allá de lo puramente musical y comercial, destacando en la estética, elementos audiovisuales y simbología empleada. Destaca un factor decisivo en la creación del álbum El mal querer, que es la clara inspiración que ha tomado la cantante Rosalía de Flamenca, una obra literaria occitana, de autoría anónima y que data del siglo XIII. No obstante, pese a ser una novela medieval, Rosalía ha visto la actualidad de la historia y de la heroína, y ha sabido llevarla al mundo de hoy en día, un mundo en el que las relaciones interpersonales, la toxicidad que puede haber en estas y la figura de la mujer no han cambiado tanto. De esta forma, la historia del medievo ha servido para dar estructura al álbum y conformar un hilo narrativo que se desarrolla de manera fragmentaria desde la primera canción hasta la última. Asimismo, la acción contada se lleva a cabo también en el ámbito audiovisual, en el que la fusión de elementos del pasado y la cultura actual se hace efectiva y visible. De este modo, este documento constituye una interpretación del álbum El mal querer, tanto desde su nivel literario y narrativo, atendiendo a qué se cuenta y de qué manera se cuenta, hasta el audiovisual.

We also referred to his transition to politics beside Anatoli Sobchak, in the last months before the Soviet Union collapsed. Here, in section one, we are going to consider his positions at Yeltsin’s administration, and later at the Federal Security Service (FSB), the Security Council, and the cabinet. In section two, we will analyze the main ideas in Putin’s political program, as outlined in the 2000 presidential campaign. Finally, in section three, we will see how this project has been put into practice, contrasting several explanations of the president’s aims and decisions that have been suggested by the media and the scholarly literature.

  • THE EROTICIZED FEMINISM of GIOCONDA BELLI Elizabeth
    SPEAKING THROUGH THE BODY: THE EROTICIZED FEMINISM OF GIOCONDA BELLI Elizabeth Casimir Bruno A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Languages (Spanish American) Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: María A. Salgado Reader: Rosa Perelmuter Reader: Glynis Cowell Reader: Teresa Chapa Reader: John Chasteen © 2006 Elizabeth Casimir Bruno ii ABSTRACT ELIZABETH CASIMIR BRUNO: Speaking Through the Body: The Eroticized Feminism of Gioconda Belli (Under the direction of María A. Salgado) While female authors have been writing about “women’s issues” for centuries, their foregrounding of women’s bodies is a relatively new phenomenon. This “literature of the body” is perceived as a way for women to claim back what is and has always been theirs. Gioconda Belli’s literature of the body presents a mosaic of images of woman, through which she empowers women to claim back their body and to celebrate it as the site of the multiple facets of woman. After a brief introductory chapter presenting my topic, I move to Chapter 2, which explores how Belli embodies “woman” in her poetry. In order to contextualize her representation, I first look at several poems by Rubén Darío as examples of idealized canonical portrayals. I also analyze poems written by a number of women authors who preceded Belli, thereby demonstrating a distinct progression in the treatment of women-centered literature. Belli’s representation of the erotic woman is the focus of Chapter 3, though I also examine some poems by another Central American woman poet that illustrate the boldness of her work, particularly because this author was the first Central American woman writer to celebrate women’s eroticism.
