CALL FOR PAPERS: Publicaciones/Revistas
Llamado: Actuel Marx Intervenciones N° 13: "Movimientos Sociales, Populares y Sindicales"
El mundo y Chile cambian inexorablemente ante el avance de los movimientos sociales. Lo que ayer era un anhelo de recomponer lo que el poder había separado (la idea y la praxis), hoy se nos aparece nuevamente como interpelación a develar la comunidad latente. Es por esto que el número 13 de Actuel Marx Intervenciones estará dedicado a pensar a los movimientos sociales, pilares de la construcción tradicional y contemporánea de las resistencias a las relaciones de poder. Si por una parte los movimientos fueron la base sobre la que se conformaron las luchas sociales en el siglo XX, el nuevo siglo pareciera identificarlos con formas novedosas y no ortodoxas en la búsqueda por lograr realidades menos opresivas para los pueblos. Repensar el rol de los movimientos sociales, sus diferentes capacidades para modificar los contextos en que se encuentran insertos, ahondar en su puesta en escena y vislumbrar nuevas formas que han adquirido o pueden adquirir, son los elementos basales para la presente convocatoria, considerando, desde el inicio, que los movimientos sociales desbordan siempre el juego político y plantean, precisamente, un desafío al pensamiento contemporáneo, toda vez que éste no ha de buscar cerrar la relación entre teoría y praxis, sino, por el contrario, abrirla hacia la potencia que le es inherente.
Recepción de artículos hasta 31 de marzo de 2012
