Catastrophe in Permanence: Benjamin's Natural History of Environmental CrisisBower, Matthew S. 05 1900 (has links)
Walter Benjamin warned in 1940 of a certain inconspicuous threat to political thinking, not least of all to materialism, that takes progress as an historical norm. Implicit in this conception is what he describes as an empty continuum of time along which the prevailing tradition chronicles its own mythic development and drains everyday life of genuine historical experience. The myth of progressive history advances insidiously today in consumeristic and technocratic attempts at reconciling cultural imagery with organic nature. In this dissertation, I pursue the contradictions of such images as they crystallize around the natural history of twenty-first century commodity society, where promises of ecological remediation, sustainable urban development, and climate change mitigation have yet to introduce a true crisis of historical experience to the ongoing environmental crisis of capitalism. A more radical way of seeing the cultural representation of nature would, I argue, penetrate its mythic determination by market forces and bear witness to the natural-historical ruins and traces that constitute, in Benjamin's terms, a single "catastrophe" where others perceive historical continuity. I argue that Benjamin's critique of progress is instructive to interpreting those utopian dreams, ablaze in consumer life and technological fantasy, that recent decades of growing environmental concern have channeled into the recovery of an experience of the natural world. His dialectics of nature and alienated history confront the wish-image of organic abundance with the transience of its appropriated expression in the commodity-form. Drawing together this confrontation with a varied literature on collective memory, nature, and the city, I suggest that our poverty of experience is more than simply a technical, economic, or even ecological problem, but rather follows from the commodification of history itself. The goal of this work is to reflect upon the potentiality of communal politics that subsist not in rushing headlong into a progressive future but, as Benjamin urges, in reaching for the emergency brake on the runaway train of progress.

[pt] MINAS PARA O ESTADO, TERRAS PARA QUEM AS CULTIVA: POLÍTICA E HISTORICIDADE DO SINDICALISMO INDÍGENA BOLIVIANO / [en] MINES TO THE STATE, LAND TO THOSE WHO WORK IT: POLITICS AND HISTORICITY OF THE BOLIVIAN INDIGENOUS LABOUR MOVEMENTGUILHERME DE MORAES ANDRADE 20 October 2020 (has links)
[pt] Esta dissertação se propõe a trabalhar a forma como o resgate histórico é
capaz de referenciar uma compreensão do encontro entre raça e classe no interior
do sindicalismo indígena boliviano da segunda metade do século XX. Partindo de
uma crítica à qualificação sócio-política da indigeneidade como uma atualização
particular da luta de classes no país, o trabalho busca abordar a mediação entre o
reconhecimento da diferença, em uma mão, com a afirmação ou reivindicação de
um espaço de igualdade, na outra, para entender o complexo processo de negociação
que balizou a integração e o reconhecimento político do indígena boliviano,
desde a ofensiva latifundiária de meados do século XIX até após a revolução de
1952. A preocupação com sua subjetivação histórica, nesse sentido, intercruza dois
processos fundamentais: o regime de suplementação que possibilita a aparência de
fechamento significativo e as mediações representativas que condicionam sua visibilidade
e possibilidade de ser ouvido. Assim, a partir de uma sobreposição narrativa,
propõe-se explorar as liminariedades das categorias analíticas capazes de revelar,
em seus traços, formas imiscíveis de ser e agir no interior da comunidade
política que possibilitam solidariedades supranumerárias e irredutíveis a uma esquematização
cumulativa de enfrentamento da desigualdade por parte de movimentos
sociais. / [en] This dissertation aims to discuss the way historical recollection serves as a
point of reference to comprehend the encounter, in the second half of the 20th century, between race and class inside the Bolivian indigenous labour movement. Starting from a criticism of the social-political understanding of indigeneity as a particular form of actualization of class struggle in the country, this study discusses the mediation between the reckoning of difference, in one hand, with the assertion or vindication of equality, on the other, as a manner to understand the complex negotiation that fundaments the integration and political recognition of the Bolivian indian, from the estate expansion in mid-19th century to the period that follow the 1952 revolution. Focusing on their historical subjectification, in this sense, overlaps two underlying processes: the supplementary regime that makes possible the appearance of a signifying totality and the representational mediations that condition their ability to be seen and heard. Therefore, through a narrative juxtaposition, it is proposed to explore the liminalities of analytical categories as a way to reveal, in its traces, immiscible forms of being and acting inside a political community that makes possible supernumerary forms of solidarity, irreducible to the schematization of a cumulative confrontation of social movements with inequality.

An “empire” without imperialism? A study of the Soviet-colonial dialectic from the October Revolution to its defeatStrandlund, Tyson Riel 22 October 2021 (has links)
An analysis of Soviet history and political thought in the context of imperialism and colonialism
This study attempts to clarify problems with dominant liberal narratives and historiography relating to the Soviet Union, particularly relating to questions of empire and colonialism, and instead platforms Third World Marxists and other anti-imperialist scholars and revolutionaries whose views have been effectively sidelined and stifled. By tracing the history of political thought around these questions from pre-revolutionary Marxists through to Cold War era anti-colonial and pan-African scholars and revolutionaries alongside developments in the dynamic and forms of imperialism, and by situating anti-colonial nationalisms in the context of worldmaking rather than state building, this text aims to contribute to analyses of Soviet policy and its relationship to the global history of decolonisation in the 20th Century.
This work identifies serious theoretical and ideological deficiencies in existing literature and concludes that concise definitions of imperialism and empire such as those used by V.I. Lenin and Kwame Nkrumah are not consistent with commonly held beliefs about the role played by the Soviet Union in the history of anti-colonial and national liberation movements. Western liberal literature on this subject has suffered significantly as a result of political and ideological prejudices stemming directly from the US Cold War victory and psychological warfare campaigns targeting communist and anti-colonial movements to this end.
My research indicates that misidentification and misuse of terms relating to empire and colonialism pose serious obstacles and risks to present and future efforts geared towards global peace and equality which add urgency to the correction of mistakes both in scholarly and popular historical, political, and cultural approaches to interpretations of Soviet history. / Graduate
