Book excerpt: Esta tesis es un estudio longitudinal en profundidad del movimiento de los Indignados en Barcelona, desde el inicio de los campamentos en Plaza Catalunya hasta las numerosas asambleas de barrio, comisiones, y la emergencia de proyectos teritoriales. Durante tres años fueron conducidas 74 entrevistas en profundidad y 6 grupos focales con los participantes del movimiento, mientras se emprendieron aproximadamente 600 horas de observación participante. La tesis investiga la ecología politica del movimiento de los Indignados, concretamente pretende comprender las maneras en las que el movimiento ha entendido la crisis ecologica-economica, y las nuevas ideas y procesos socio-politicos y transformaciones socio-ecologicas que puso en marcha. La ecología politica en esta tesis se entiende en su más sentido amplio, como las nuevas relaciones y realidades socio-naturales que el movimiento ha generado, tanto cognitivamente como materialmente, mientras imaginaba y ejecutaba un orden socio-ecologico alternativo. Si una transformación socio-ecologica va a tener lugar, ésta será el resultado de procesos políticos democráticos en la que los movimientos sociales juegan un papel fundamental. Los movimientos sociales son un actor importante del cambio social, ya que contribuyen a la innovación cultural y empiezan la transformación institucional. Así pues, esta tesis considera la posibilidad de una transformación socio-ecológica a través de la perspectiva del movimiento de los Indignados. En particular aborda la teoría del decrecimiento que se puede describir como la visión de la reducción democrática y redistributiva de la producción y consumo en los países industrializados. Esta investigación avanza la teoría del decrecimiento conectándola con las teorías políticas sobre democracia, y aprendiendo de un caso de estudio empírico, el movimiento de los Indignados, centrado en la demanda de una ‘democracia real'. El primer capítulo presenta un marco teórico multidisciplinar que incluye las teorías de decrecimiento, democracia, ecología politica y estudios de movimientos sociales, y expone la metodología y las preguntas de investigación. El segundo capítulo se concentra en una revisión critica de la teoría democrática dentro de la literatura sobre el decrecimiento, aclarando conceptos como democracia, autonomía, revolución y transición a través de la filosofía de Cornelius Castoriadis, que el movimiento del decrecimiento considera uno de los referentes teóricos. La segunda parte de la tesis utiliza la imaginación radical del movimiento de los Indignados para explorar y comprender como la democracia puede ser concebida y practicada sin crecimiento, y como una transformación socio-ecológica hacia el decrecimiento se puede imaginar. El tercer capítulo emplea la herramienta del análisis de marcos para comprender como el movimiento plantea la concepción de democracia y de crisis, y cómo concibe el cambio. Aclara también el papel de las ideologías dentro del movimiento y su diferenciación de los marcos y el papel de la dimensión ecológica del movimiento, abordando la tesis del post-materialismo de la teoría de los Nuevos Movimientos Sociales. El cuarto capítulo investiga las micro-alternativas emergidas desde el movimiento después de la descentralización a los barrios, enfocándose en cuatro casos de estudio nacidos después de la plaza, poniéndolos en relación dialógica con el caso de estudio de la plaza misma. El capítulo utiliza la teoría de la política prefigurativa para analizar como la construcción de alternativas puede explicarse y cómo y porqué está conectada con la producción de espacio, profundizando en la cuestión sobre que se prefigura en las prácticas espaciales indignadas. El último capítulo discute los resultados de la tesis y concluye con su trascendencia y contribución para unas conceptualizaciones de democracia y de cambio socio-ecológico apropiadas para la teoría del decrecimiento y señala unas direcciones de investigación futura.

Book excerpt: ¿A quién acusan los indignados de la crisis? ¿Qué piden? ¿Cuál es la estrategia? ¿Y el programa? ¿Cambiarán el rumbo de Europa? ¿Es esta una Revolución Mundial de ciudadanos? Los indignados quieren otro modelo social y saben que es posible. Han lanzado un mensaje desde las plazas al mundo entero: lo queremos todo y lo queremos ahora. El resultado es una reacción en cadena, una revolución ética que señala a todos los partidos políticos por igual. No protestan, exigen. A cambio, tienen un programa lleno de proposiciones. Democracia real para ciudadanos reales.Pilar Velasco, joven periodista de investigación de la cadena Ser que estuvo en la acampada de Sol desde el principio, ha recogido en No nos representan el manifiesto de los indignados en 25 propuestas. Son reivindicaciones abiertas, sometidas a la discusión asamblearia a la velocidad de la red, que tratan de ofrecer soluciones y alternativas a lo que ya no funciona. Este libro es fruto de una gran conversación, con el movimiento, con las lecturas que hacían los medios, con los grupos que impulsaron el 15 M y también con expertos -como el profesor Juan Carlos Monedero- que han pensado en y desde el movimiento sobre las nuevas formas de democracia. Y con un objetivo, que la conversación continúe.

Download or read book Spain After the Indignados 15M Movement written by Óscar Pereira-Zazo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spain After the Indignados/15M Movement explores how the aftershocks of the 2007 Great Recession restructured Spain’s political sphere and political imaginary. It brings together a representative sample of Spain’s leading progressive voices, including two of the five founding members of the Podemos party. The essays herein explore the areas of economics, politics, ecology, social change, media, and cultural politics in order to present a broad, critical account of contemporary Spain, with a special emphasis on emerging forms of sociopolitical contestation, self-organizing, democratic participation, and radical politics. The edited volume argues that Spanish cultural studies—which originally gravitated toward celebratory accounts of capitalist modernization, the cultural Movida and the advent of a postmodern Spain—must continue to build a new cultural politics that not only challenges the accepted narrative of the Spanish Transition to democracy, but that is committed to confronting the civilizatory challenges currently faced.

Book excerpt: Translating the Crisis discusses the multiple translation practices that shaped the 15M movement, also known as the indignados (‘outraged’), a series of mass demonstrations and occupations of squares that took place across Spain in 2011 and which played a central role in the recent global wave of popular protest. Through a study of the movement's cultural and intellectual impact, as well as some of its main political evolutions (namely Podemos and Barcelona en Comú), Fernández shows how translation has contributed to the dissemination of ideas and the expansion of political debates, produced new intellectual and political figures, and provided support to political projects. Drawing on fieldwork, interviews, and a large repertoire of sources in various languages, this monograph provides an in-depth study of the role of translation in the renewal of activist language, the development of political platforms, and the creation of new social references, while also presenting a critical perspective on its limitations and shortcomings. Combining first-hand experience of the Spanish reality with a keen transnational awareness, Fernández offers a nuanced, present-day perspective on the political events taking place in Spain and connects them with wider transformations across the world. This book is invaluable for scholars and researchers in Translation Studies, Spanish Studies, Social Movement Studies, and Politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Networks of Outrage and Hope is an exploration of the new forms of social movements and protests that are erupting in the world today, from the Arab uprisings to the indignadas movement in Spain, from the Occupy Wall Street movement to the social protests in Turkey, Brazil and elsewhere. While these and similar social movements differ in many important ways, there is one thing they share in common: they are all interwoven inextricably with the creation of autonomous communication networks supported by the Internet and wireless communication. In this new edition of his timely and important book, Manuel Castells examines the social, cultural and political roots of these new social movements, studies their innovative forms of self-organization, assesses the precise role of technology in the dynamics of the movements, suggests the reasons for the support they have found in large segments of society, and probes their capacity to induce political change by influencing people’s minds. Two new chapters bring the analysis up-to-date and draw out the implications of these social movements and protests for understanding the new forms of social change and political democracy in the global network society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together over forty established and emerging scholars, this landmark volume is the first to comprehensively examine the evolution and current practice of social movement studies in a specifically European context.

Download or read book Populist Parties and Democratic Resilience written by Ben Crum and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-02-02 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Populist Parties and Democratic Resilience focuses on populist parties as the main agents of populism and examines when these parties turn anti-democratic and when they remain loyal to the democratic system. Following the Brexit referendum, the election of Donald Trump, and the rise of populist parties around the globe, many observers suggested that democracy was in serious trouble. Nevertheless, while some democratic systems have been seized by populists, most of them have proven resilient. In this volume, the authors identify the conditions under which populist parties become inimical to political and societal pluralism. They offer in-depth analyses of the trajectory of populist parties in eleven European Union countries (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands, Poland, Romania, and Spain). The book shows that, reflecting the diversity of national contexts, there are multiple pathways whereby populist parties’ power can remain contained and subject to democratic checks and balances. Moreover, populist parties can — at times voluntarily, at other times by force of external conditions — come to adhere to the democratic rules of the game. On this basis, the volume outlines different ways in which European democracies can successfully accommodate populist parties through strategies that carefully navigate between the extremes of uncritical acceptance and outright ostracization. Drawing on the literature on democratic theory and comparative politics, this book directly contributes to the public debate on the state of democracy in Europe. It will be of interest to researchers of comparative politics, European politics, party politics, democracy, and populism.
