Combative Genealogies of Tricontinentalism
Tricontinentalism, the radical ideational universe of the Global South so important in the 1960s and 1970s, lost much of its original thrust with the neoliberal turn, and its contribution to global history has long been obscured. Recently, however, historians, political theorists and others have been studying its take on global justice and the multiple impacts of its political strategies, ideological rhetoric, identity formations, as well as its …
The reconciliation trap
Guatemala’s reconciliation debate is as much about the present and the future as it is about history. In order to highlight its political dimension, I propose to read this controversy through the lens of hegemony theory. It is precisely because of the entwinement of specific political economic interests, centuries-old ethnic conflict and structural racism in Guatemala that charging genocide constitutes a key moment in a fight over power—a fight i…
Decolonizing the Second Republic
When Austria regained its sovereignty in 1955, one common narrative had it that the country reemerged after almost four decades of heteronomy: after 1918, France, Britain and the United States would not allow it to join the German Empire; then, Austria was annexed by this very empire; and finally, it was occupied by Allied forces. Did this self-perception bring about a form of anticolonial identification among Austrians or even a sentiment of sol…
La Guerra Civil guatemalteca
Este artículo analiza la historia de la guerra civil de Guatemala, tomando sus conflictos internos armados e intelectuales en contextos centroamericanos, hemisféricos y globales como la base material de la posterior memoria histórica de este periodo, igual de transnacional y también un campo de protagonismo político historizable. Primero, los actores revolucionarios y contrarrevolucionarios son analizados a la luz de sus vínculos transnacionales …
Resistant pasts versus mnemonic hegemony
The politics of history and memory in any society are determined by the relations of forces between hegemonic master narratives, defiant counter-memories, and silent majorities whose historical experience is rarely articulated in public. Based on Antonio Gramsci, Michel Foucault, Ernesto Laclau, as well as postcolonial critique, this article explains historico-political processes through a specified reading of hegemony theory. Two common, though …
Vietnam, the New Left and the Holocaust
The years 1945 and 1989 were crucial for the genesis of the social-scientific conceptualization of memory as we know it today. During these two periods of upheaval, the content and political meaning of ‘memory’ was shaped by specific social phenomena, particularly the experience of repression. In 1945, the victorious Allies began to understand the full extent of the Holocaust in the liberated concentration and extermination camps: the most system…
