Peter BakerNewcastle University Volume 10, 2016 Hegemony is a term both elusive and recurrent. It provides a theory of the social for a world in which all universalizing truth narratives have lost their fantasmatic hold over our lives and, in their withdrawal, we are forced to confront the fictions that they in fact always represented. In...

Jorge Álvarez YágüezDoctor por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid Volume 10, 2016 La reflexión sobre el par de categorías políticas, sujeto y acción, ha sido extensa e intensa en nuestra contemporaneidad, tanto en la época en que bien podía decirse que la política era nuestro destino, como en el momento de su desaparición, en la época...

(Chris Marker)[2] Desde que comenzamos y a medida que nos internamos en la vida nos vamos cargando de automatismos (…) muchas cosas sorprendentes se van volviendo triviales (…) la industria cinematográfica tal como...
