Internationalismes « du passé » et nouvelles solidarités. La vision du monde des gauches armées du Cône Sud dans les années 1960 et 1970
L’article passe en revue les transformations de l’idée d’internationalisme dans les gauches du Cône Sud au cours des années 1960 et 1970. Dans un premier temps, il analyse la manière dont le concept de solidarité a transformé les notions internationalistes antérieures des partis de gauche traditionnels. Il passe ensuite en revue les nuances et les différentes utilisations de l’idée de solidarité développée par la gauche armée en Amérique latine e…
Debates político-intelectuales sobre pobreza y marginalidad en la crisis de los sesenta en el Cono Sur
El artículo indaga los debates político-intelectuales sobre pobreza y marginalidad en la crisis de los sesenta en el Cono Sur. Dichas controversias han recibido escasa atención en los abordajes sobre la época, preocupados generalmente por temáticas asociadas al cambio social, el compromiso de los intelectuales y la legitimidad de la violencia. El trabajo propone reponer esa ausencia al examinar tres espacios donde los tópicos sobre pobreza fueron…
De artículos de primera necesidad a necesidades básicas insatisfechas. Una mirada al proyecto de bienestar en el siglo xx uruguayo a través del debate sobre el costo de vida
Objective/Context: This article studies how the Uruguayan State conceptualized the idea of “necessity” in relation to the welfare project throughout the twentieth century. Throughout the first half of the century, the Uruguayan State developed a sustained policy of price control based on the concept of basic necessities. During the second half, the system began to crumble under the growing influence of liberal economic approaches and authoritaria…
Entre la relativización, la ambigüedad y el silencio. Un repaso a las narrativas complacientes con la última dictadura en Uruguay
El artículo repasa un conjunto de narrativas sobre la última dictadura uruguaya. Todas estas narrativas presentan una estructura similar. Explican el conflicto ocurrido en Uruguay como el resultado del accionar de las izquierdas. Para ellas ese fue el punto de partida que inevitablemente llevó a la respuesta militar para la defensa del orden estatal. Las visiones sobre las características de la respuesta militar son variadas: algunos los consider…
A heterodox defense of the actualist higher-order thought theory
I defend the actualist higher-order thought theory against four objections. The first objection contends that the theory is circular. The second one contends that the theory is unable to account for the alleged epistemic position we are in with respect to our own conscious mental states. The third one contends that the theory is unable to account for the evidence we have for the proposition that all conscious mental states are represented. The fo…
The New Latin American Left in a polarised Cold War
Vivian Trías, a prominent Latin American intellectual and leader of the Uruguayan Socialist Party, was an agent of the Czechoslovak State Security Service (StB), the intelligence agency in communist Czechoslovakia. Through a critical analysis of the Czech archives, this article seeks to explain why Trías, who defined himself as a Latin Americanist and tercerista in the Cold War, developed this link with one of the Soviet Bloc countries. The artic…
A radical relationist solution to the problem of intentional inexistence
The problem of intentional inexistence arises because the following (alleged) intuitions are mutually conflicting: it seems that sometimes we think about things that do not exist; it seems that intentionality is a relation between a thinker and what such a thinker thinks about; it seems that relations entail the existence of what they relate. In this paper, I argue for what I call a radical relationist solution. First, I contend that the extant a…
Luis Almagro’s Fall from Grace
Almagro has nobody to meet with, and decided to cancel a trip to Uruguay.” So read a headline in El Observador in September 2017. Luis Almagro, the former Uruguayan Foreign Minister and Secretary
Southern Cone Cities as Political Laboratories of the Global Sixties
The article reviews the political dynamics that fostered a transnational political culture among leftist activists in the Southern Cone. This culture resulted from the coming together of various different ways in which activists experienced local political events and reinterpreted global processes. Certain cities at specific moments had a crucial role in the development of these exchanges. In this article, I will briefly review three different pe…
Latin America's Radical Left
This book examines the emergence, development, and demise of a network of organizations of young leftist militants and intellectuals in South America. This new generation, formed primarily by people who in the late 1960s were still under the age of thirty, challenged traditional politics and embraced organized violence and transnational strategies as the only ways of achieving social change in their countries during the Cold War. This lasted for …
Escribiendo la Guerra Fría latinoamericana
Mi trabajo propone una agenda para posibles diálogos entre la historia reciente del cono sur y los estudios de la guerra fría. El campo de la historia reciente, escrito principalmente por historiadores del cono sur, relacionado con la historia de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, se ha centrado principalmente en los escenarios nacionales de polarización política y social que surgieron durante los años sesenta, Los regímenes y, por último, las luchas…
Revolution Beyond the Sierra Maestra
In July 1967, while Che Guevara was trying to create—with limited success— a rural foco (guerrilla cell) in Bolivia, the first conference of the Organization of Latin American Solidarity (OLAS) was taking place in Havana. The conference was presented as the application of the decisions made at the Tricontinental Conference, which had taken place in January 1966. For the first time, members of different organizations on the Latin American left met…
Tupamaros et dictature
Le rôle et les actions du mouvement guerillero Tupamaros dans le contexte démocratique et libéral des années 1960 sont des facteurs d'explication récurrents dans certaines lectures du coup d'État en Uruguay en 1973. Dans les débats publics, des milieux de l'armée et de la droite civile qui a participé au régime dictatorial tiennent les Tupamaros pour responsables de la situation de chaos et de menace institutionnelle que vit le pays, situation qu…
Implementing the UN Convention Definition of Torture in National Criminal Law (with Reference to the Special Case of Italy)
The UN Committee against Torture considers the introduction of a distinct offence of torture in domestic law to be the most effective way of implementing Article 4 of the Convention against Torture. States parties which have introduced or are in the process of introducing a separately defined offence of torture have nonetheless frequently adopted definitions which are not entirely adequate in the light of the Convention. Problematic areas include…
Imaginación política del antiimperialismo
En un reciente artículo Oscar Terán se refirió a las corrientes espiritualistas de principios del siglo XX como precursoras de las actuales nociones de antiimperialismo (Terán, 2005). El fino análisis realizado por el historiador argentino acerca de las maneras en que autores como Rodó y Darío conceptualizaron la influencia norteamericana en América Latina, nos sugiere variadas preguntas sobre una categoría que, aunque escasamente elaborada en la…
