Placement et alternative au placement en perspective transfrontalière
Les auteurs présentent les résultats du projet ALTERNA qui a permis à des professionnel∙e∙s de la protection de l’enfance français et allemands de comparer les mesures d’alternative au placement de leurs deux pays. Les enjeux éducatifs politiques et sociétaux de ces mesures sont présentés afin de donner à voir la complexité du travail de collaboration transfrontalier.

Specters of The Republic
The execution of General Manuel Piar in 1817 is one of the most controversial events in the early years of the Spanish American revolution. Piar, the highest-ranking pardo officer in the insurgent army, was accused of a conspiracy to kill all white criollos, destroy the republican 'system of equality', and seise power as a 'tyrant'. The evidence for the conspiracy charges is widely acknowledged to be flimsy. Prior to the trial Bolívar issued a le…
History and Catastrophe
Can we coherently conjugate high philosophy and slave insurgency under the heading of “universal history”? Is it possible to disentangle “universal history” from its roots in white supremacy and European imperial reason?

Haiti
Centering around Agamben's key concepts of “bare life” and homo sacer , and reading them against Bruce Gilden's disturbing (and award-winning) photographs of Haiti, this article explores the aesthetic implications, historical limitations, and political dangers of representing humans as mere biological life violently drawn into the ambit of sovereignty
Cecilia Valdés
Cecilia Valdés is arguably the most important novel of 19th century Cuba. Written in 1882 by Cirilo Villaverde in exile in New York City, but set in the Havana of the 1830s, the novel recounts a story of the moral, political, and sexual depravity caused by slavery and colonialism. The heroine of the novel, the beautiful light-skinned mulatta named Cecilia, is being pursued by Leonardo, the son of a Spanish slave trader. Unbeknownst to the two, th…
