Unicommon entrevista Santiago Alba Rico co-autor de

Entrevista a Santiago Alba Rico co-autor de "Túnez, la revolución" (Traficantes de sueños, 2011) por unicommon.org - Las rebeliones y luchas en el Norte de África durante este otoño han sido observadas con admiración o con cierto escepticismo por parte de la opinión pública occidental. Por un lado, Túnez ha sido muy a menudo subestimado o simplemente tachado por cuestiones de interés económico y político: ¿será realmente revolución o tan “sólo” una rebelión para el pan y, por ende, contingente? Por el otro, ha sido reprobado, como todo país de Maghreb, a través del peligro del fundamentalismo islámico. ¿Qué piensa usted de la revolución tunecina y de su nivel de concienciación y madurez? ¿Es el derrumbe de una dictadura, una rebelión contra la crisis y el paro intelectual, ambas cosas, o qué más?
La opinión pública occidental ha intentado encajar los levantamientos populares en Túnez y en el resto del mundo árabe en los prejuicios y clichés construidos en las últimas décadas por gobiernos y medios de comunicación: una zona del mundo primitiva y fanática que, por tanto, sólo podía alzarse  a causa del hambre o con reivindicaciones religiosas.

In the jungle of precarity, Wild Wild Strike!

All over Italy students, migrants and precarious workers took back to the streets to generalize the strike launched by the Union CGIL: surely it was a belated strike that should have been held much more earlier, an unsatisfactory campaign made by Union was denounced by the workers too. We could say that our generation hardly know the significance o...

Cos’è il Mar Mediterraneo? L’acqua che riempie il fossato della “fortezza Europa” o il trait d’union di soggetti e continenti diversi, ma dalla storia spesso comune? Negli ultimi anni il consolidamento del processo di integrazione europea ha definito un ordine: il Mediterraneo come barriera mobile. Sempre aperta alle merci, al petrolio, ai capitali...
