The great systemic clash
Cuba, Palestine, and the Internationalist Solidarity Against Imperialist Counterinsurgency
Established after the Tricontinental Conference in Havana (1966), the Tricontinental sphere was a seminal space of encounter for Third World anti-colonial and anti-imperialist struggles. Through the long political and cultural action of the Organization of Solidarity of the Peoples of Africa, Asia, and Latin America (OSPAAAL), it is possible to trace both pressing Third World issues and shifts in Cuban foreign policy over time. This article exami…
For an Anti-Imperialist Ecological Modernity
In this paper we introduce the Journal of Labor and Society’s special issue on the ecomodernist features of imperialism and argue that these concepts must be theorized in tandem. The introduction begins by showing how ecomodernism and imperialism combine in practice through the example of the Council of Foreign Relations’ ‘Climate Realism Initiative’. It then charts ecomodernism’s emergence as a distinct theory and practice, arguing that it can t…
Imperialism, Ecological Imperialism, and Green Imperialism
This article aims to explore the relationship between imperialism and political ecology, the identifying characteristics of the historical development of ecological imperialism, and the ecosocial implications of its cosmetic adaptation—namely, green imperialism—in a context of growing threat and biophysical concern. We first provide a succinct updated definition of imperialism based on world-systems analysis, which serves to understand imperialis…
The Early Socio-ecological Dimensions of Tricontinental (1967-1971)
This article delves into the socio-ecological dimensions of OSPAAAL, the Cuban Third World solidarity institution, focusing particularly on the early years of its official organ: the magazine Tricontinental (1967-1971). Tricontinental's articles and graphic works, even if not always in an explicit manner, addressed environmental concerns in a revolutionary way, anticipating debates that would later unfold on international institutional platforms.…
The Aesthetic Rift
The development of industrial capitalism led to a reconfiguration of the social function of culture. A commodification of Western culture and fetishisation of art emerged that was inseparable from the expansion of this world system. This historical process consolidated insofar as it produced a series of material and imaginary rifts between interconnected spheres. In this article we analyse the way in which these rifts operated within aesthetics, …
Green New Dilemmas. Inercias autoritarias y límites de la democracia
El artículo explora los tres principales dilemas a los que se enfrentan los llamados Green New Deals (GND): el dilema biofísico que plantean sus costes energéticos y materiales; el dilema político derivado de sus inercias extractivistas, coloniales y autoritarias, y, por último, el dilema cultural vinculado a los imaginarios sociales, electorales y discursivos que estas propuestas refuerzan. En el centro del triángulo formado por estos Green New …
Toward an Ecosocialist Degrowth
We are facing today the most pronounced and remarkable of all contradictions: that between what ecosocialist Ian Angus calls "capital's time" and "nature's time." As a result, a series of intertwined ecological and social crises have come together, posing existential threats to life on the planet. Everywhere, life, both human and nonhuman, is threatened, and the dangers of the imposition of capital's time on nature's time accelerate decade by dec…

"El barro de la revolución". Entrevista a Paloma Polo
La práctica artística de Paloma Polo (1983) ha progresado a través de una inmersión continua en zonas de malestar, disturbios y lucha. Su propuesta es idear y poner en escena relatos e historias que capturen el surgimiento del pensamiento político en las personas, para explorar, así, configuraciones sociales particulares como condiciones previas o potencialidades para el cambio político. Esta aproximación exige, desde su perspectiva, prestar aten…
The Return of Nature and Marx's Ecology
In an interview with Alejandro Pedregal, John Bellamy Foster tells us about the paths great ecosocialist thinkers traveled, the most prominent debates in current Marxist ecological thought, and the urgent need for a project that transcends the conditions that threaten the existence of our planet today
Y No Se Ha De Ver Más Que La Luz
Este artículo explora, por medio de un análisis comparado de prácticas y discursos culturales, parte de la actividad literaria y militante de Rodolfo Walsh en relación con algunos de los aspectos más significativos en el surgimiento compartido entre el testimonio latinoamericano y el Tercer Cine. Para ello, el texto indaga en el papel jugado por las instituciones y publicaciones revolucionarias cubanas (Casa de las Américas e ICAIC; y revistas Ca…
