Primitive Accumulation as a Perspective on Nature, Race and Gender
This text systematizes Marx’s approach of primitive accumulation and Luxemburg’s theory of imperialism as tools to re-understand the relation between nature, race and gender as a constitutive relation between capital, the state and its boundaries. It first analyzes how the capitalist mode of production is shapes the modern relation between nature and labor, and how race and gender are produced as “natural”. By then applying Luxemburg’s approach t…
National Policy of Care Versus the Informal Caregiver Statute: A Case Study on Public Care Policies in Portugal and Brazil
This article takes a critical approach to recent developments in care policies in Portugal and Brazil, focusing on statutory and legislative changes aimed at addressing care work and its socioeconomic implications. The article focuses on two case studies: Portugal’s Informal Caregiver Statute, which intends to legally recognize and support informal caregivers but has limitations, such as restrictive definitions, inadequate implementation, and per…
Is It Just About a Renewed Conspiracy
Conspiracy thinking sprang up strongly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Portugal presents itself as an important context to analyze such relation because it attracted a diverse array of protests and mobilizations inspired on such conspiracy theories and performed in the country's main cities (i.e., Lisbon, Porto, and Coimbra) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Social media have been a privileged avenue to disseminate such protests through Facebook groups…
Israel and the End of International Law
Six months separate us from the onset of a war that exposes the extreme vulnerability of international humanitarian law and international diplomatic relations, as few international conflicts did after the Second World War.Israel's violent and bloodthirsty actions in Gaza have cumulated in an authentic bloodbath that has claimed well over 30,000 civilian victims; more than half of them children.Today, more than 20 Palestinian civilians have been k…
Liberalismo e republicanismo: Avanços e contradições sobre o espaço público no pensamento de Hannah Arendt
O estudo das revoluções burguesas realizado por Hannah Arendt é um importante diagnóstico do impacto das políticas liberais, suas contradições e evolução, na história da democracia; reflete, ainda, as contradições e dicotomias do pensamento da filósofa. O republicanismo moderno, embora crítico do liberalismo, assimilou elementos inerentes à democracia liberal, como a importância da lei, sempre imputada a partir de preceitos políticos ideológicos …
O autoritarismo brasileiro e a cotidianidade da guerra
Neste artigo defende-se que o estado de guerra que permeia a sociabilidade urbana brasileira não é uma mera analogia, mas um movimento próprio do sistema democrático burguês. Com base na proposta teórica de Agamben, busca-se revelar o modelo violento de manter a dicotomia amigo-inimigo e como isso se manifesta nos conflitos urbanos brasileiros, principalmente no caso do Rio de Janeiro. Por fim, apresenta-se o recrudescimento da violência através …
O Imperialismo E O Colonialismo Nas Origens Do Totalitarismo
A fim de diagnosticar as origens do totalitarismo, em seu livro Origens do totalitarismo – publicado originalmente em 1951 –, na secção sobre o imperialismo, Hannah Arendt reflete como a emancipação política da burguesia se estabeleceu através da dinâmica política entre colónias de colonos, centros imperiais e grupos nativos. A partir do estudo do imperialismo colonial europeu, explica como se deu a desintegração dos Estados-nacionais que continh…
