Acto político de recordar
En 2015, los dirigentes del movimiento popular de los cortadores de caña de azúcar de Bella Unión (Uruguay) se esforzaban por enunciar su propia autonomía colectiva a partir del rescate de ciertos indicios de un pasado enigmático. Este artículo teoriza esas evocaciones del pasado mediante la exploración de sus posibles convergencias con las premisas de un marxismo no historicista, identificado con el pensamiento de Walter Benjamin. Con base en ob…

After years of restricting new immigrants to a trickle of white-collar professionals, the country would start accepting mostly unskilled workers to feed a labor shortage in its hungry factories
The Representation of Object Concepts in the Brain
Evidence from functional neuroimaging of the human brain indicates that information about salient properties of an object—such as what it looks like, how it moves, and how it is used—is stored in sensory and motor systems active when that information was acquired. As a result, object concepts belonging to different categories like animals and tools are represented in partially distinct, sensory- and motor property–based neural networks. This sugg…
The lessons of Eastern Europe for modern intelligence reform
The proliferation of threats to security, which emerge in states going through major reform processes, demands a functional intelligence architecture. Accurate intelligence is essential in identifying risks to the wider reform process. Western intelligence agencies have viewed intelligence services in reforming states as tactical opportunities and sources of intelligence rather than as targets for reform in the context of a wider reform agenda.
