This edited volume explores the context in which the Spanish party
Podemos operates as both an agent and product of political cycles.
It provides an account of the party's genealogy, ideological
environment and relation to other political initiatives in Latin
America and Western Europe. The contributors address the multiples
dynamics generated by Podemos as a new party developed out of the
economic crisis, the structural crisis concerning social democracy
and the incarnation of the welfare state project, and, more
generally, out of the Left. It will appeal to upper-level students
and scholars interested in Spanish politics, history, culture and
sociology.
Engaging debates within cultural studies, media and communication
studies, and critical theory, this book addresses whether Gramscian
thought continues to be relevant for social and cultural analysis,
in particular when examining times of crisis and social change. The
book is motivated by two intertwined but distinct purposes: first,
to show the privileged and fruitful link between a "Gramscian
Theory of Communication" and a "Communicative Theory of Gramsci;"
second, to explore the ways in which such a Gramscian perspective
can help us interpret and explain different forms of political
activism in the twenty-first century, such as "Occupy" in the US,
"Indignados" in Spain, or "Movimento Cinque Stelle" in Italy.
This book explores the communicative practices of the Italian
radical group Red Brigades (Brigate Rosse, or BR), the relationship
the group established with the Italian press, and the specific
social historical context in which the BR developed both its own
self-understanding and its complex dialectical connection with the
society at large. The BR s worldview and the dominant ideology(ies)
mediated by the press are treated as competing responses to
structural issues of Italian history: the structural weakness of
the nation state, the contradictions of an uneven economic
development, and the consequent struggle of the bourgeois class to
achieve hegemonic rule."
