En este artículo se sostiene que en los llamados escritos políticos de Marx se elabora, al hilo de los análisis de coyuntura de la Francia del siglo xix, una consideración de la política dotada de un estatuto autónomo y sustantivo, del que en modo alguno puede darse cuenta con las manidas descalificaciones de economicismo o reduccionismo (superestr...

In his view, the nation is conceived as an evolutionary process of political, open and plural construction. His work also unravels the connections of nation with a plurinational democratic state, which was at the time a novel political and i...

Parte dos problemas e das insuficiencias das primeiras teorías do nacionalismo, a etnicidade e o multiculturalismo derivábanse dunha concepción das comunidades culturais como grupos prepolíticos, resultado obxectivo dos «feitos empíricos» demográficos e étnicos diferenciais.

Les propongo comenzar esta breve reflexión con una mirada auto-crítica: una con-siderable cantidad de los trabajos contemporáneos de ciencia política, publicados en prestigiosas revistas indexadas de gran impacto, poseen escasa relevancia política o, simplemente, no revisten gran interés para los problemas acuciantes de nuestras de-mocracias. Muy a...

Is there a political space for a possible federal accommodation of the demands of self-government in Catalonia and how is it configured? In order to answer these questions, we address first the conceptualization of federalism, and then, from an evolutionary perspective, we focus on the "Catalan issue" and its institutional outputs. The general assu...

The modern political theory was built from an underlying assumption: the radical exclusion of emotions as departure of a hyper rationalist argumentation. The aim of this paper is, first, to explain how this exclusion is semantically structured trough the dichotomy reason/emotion. We will analyze afterwards the various presences of this dichotomy an...
