Decolonial Aesthetics: Manifesto, Exhibit and Workshop

I shall be short in this posting and just send you to the home page of TDI/Transnational Decolonial Institute where you can find the “Decolonial Aesthetics Manifesto” with a preamble that explains its short but interesting history.  You will find also other links and references to contextualize the manifesto. Furthermore, there is now available a [...]

The communal and the decolonial

Published in Turbulence and in Analyse und Kritik I Imagine the world around 1500. It was a polycentric and non-capitalist world. There were many civilizations from China to Sub-Saharan Africa, but none of them dominated the other. There was a radical change in global history that we can summarize in two points: the emergence of [...]

The end of the university as we know it: world epistemic fora toward communal futures and decolonial horizons of life

I On April 29, 2009 I received, as many others, a standard “call for paper.” This one called my attention: “World Universities Forum, Davos, Switzerland, 9-11, 2009, Call for Papers.” It called my attention for two reasons. The first I explain here is that I saw it coming: the struggle of the twenty-first century will [...]

Esclavitud moderna y capitalismo global (La crisis financiera en su justa proporción).

En la primera semana de abril, los G20 se reunirán en Londres para debatir y actuar sobre el futuro del capitalismo. Desde hace más de un año los medios de comunicación y el clima generado por la catástrofe de Wall Street (a poco tiempo de la catástrofe de Iraq y la catástrofe del huracán Katrina), [...]

Los dos pilares de la administración Bush

El período de gobierno del presidente George W. Bush se abrió con un estado de emergencia provocado, o co-ayudado, por los dos aviones que se estrellaron en las Torres Gemelas. El acontecimiento dió ocasión al gobierno de Bush para encender la mecha del patriotismo, declarar la guerra contra el terrorismo y urgir al congreso el [...]

“That One” Wants to Socialize Wealth: The Dividing Lines Between Barack Obama and John McCain

When John McCain referred to Barack Obama as “that one”was not a simple gaff, but a deeply rooted racial prejudice and a deeply rooted blockage in his understanding. One could guess that when Barack Obama says “John doesn’t get it”, the meaning of his indictment may be wider than perhaps Obama himself intended. And if [...]

Racism and Human Rights

The series of events that unfolded in Sucre, Bolivia, since May 24 have not received much attention by the international press; and in some cases, the report contributed to obscure the facts. The events invite us, all of us, to think about racism and human rights; who are the perpetrators, who are the victims, what [...]

Attorney General Alberto Gonzáles and the Hispanic Challenge

When noted Harvard political scientist Samuel Huntington published his controversial article, “The Hispanic Challenge,” in Foreign Policy no one could have thought of Alberto Gonzáles. Huntington’s article was published on February 24, 2004. And President George Bush announced on November 11 of that same year that Gonzáles was his choice to replace John Ashcroft . [...]

We get what we deserve: On the latest Al Gore and George W. Bush.

I learned to think this way in the early 90s when Carlos Saúl Menem was elected president of Argentina. I was in one of Buenos Aires’s well known book-stores, Librería Gandhi, talking with an admired friend, el Negro Tula, going back to the exciting university years in Córdoba, before Juan Carlos Onganía took power (1966-1970) [...]

Telling Half of the Story

Iraqi President Jalal Talabani objected to the bipartisan study group chaired by James Baker III and Lee Hamilton. He was reported by the international press to have said that the bipartisan U.S. report calling for a new approach to the war offered dangerous recommendations that would undermine his country’s sovereignty and were “an insult to [...]
