The article examines the role of the youth organization Revuelta in the mobilization following the devastating floods caused by the upper-tropospheric cut-off low in Spain at the end of 2024. This catastrophe brought ecopopulist narratives into the public eye, generating a growing polarization around climate change and socio-environmental issues. It also constituted the second major politicizing event of the new far right youth, in which Revuelta added humanitarian aid to its mobilization, initiated one year earlier during the so-called National November. Using a multi-method qualitative design, we study the discursive, emotional and visual frames, and the repertoires developed by Revuelta in this context. We argue that, amidst the catastrophe, Revuelta is developing a multi-issue discourse and activism that (1) draw the attention of a patriotic youth that exceeds the traditional confines of the far right; and that (2) attempt to renegotiate the public image of the Spanish youth, highly stigmatized during the pandemic.

“Migration” has received less attention in social theory compared to other topics, and at the same time, migration research is often said to have a “theory deficit.” Against this background, we argue that it is mutually beneficial to relate and link social theory and migration research more closely. On the one hand, a stronger reference to social theories is important for migration research to break down prevailing views on migration and to further develop independent analytical perspectives and concepts that allow for a critical-reflexive distance to (national-)state and hegemonic categories. These established categories often go hand in hand with undercomplex, essentialist notions of society, as in dominant integration discourses. In social theory, on the other hand, migration is rarely addressed, with hardly any debates in migration research discussed. When migration is addressed, it is mostly to illustrate theoretical concepts and theses, without sufficiently considering the complexity of migration phenomena. In this introductory article, we outline how we can revise perspectives and categories of migration studies based on a rearticulation of social theories and, conversely, how we can rethink theoretical approaches starting from a perspective of migration (studies).

The work of Antonio Gramsci implies, in comparison with Karl Marx, a shift toward civil society, rather than state, as an intermediate category between economic structures and political institutions. Gramsci offers indeed an integral state composed of the political society (which exercises coercion) and civil society (which generates consensus). Thus, civil society becomes the site of production and contestation of ideas, the elaboration and diffusion of ideas, or, in other words, the terrain of hegemony. Our objective with this paper is to explore how Gramsci's political theory on civil society as the arena for social and political change can be used to elaborate a theoretical framework to conceptualize and analyze immigration. We highlight four dimensions that translates Gramsci's reflections to the field of immigration: class, space, common sense, and counter-hegemony. Gramsci's theory can, in a few words, contribute to understanding how migrants can question the hegemonic order and contribute to alternative visions of society.

The great Western political and social philosophers had no doubts about the importance of education. Feminist philosophers of the past also understood the significance for their own projects of educational theory and philosophy. Today, however, there is an education gap in the feminist philosophy text. Books in the field pay little attention to the subject of education and rarely cite feminist research in this area. Widely circulated bibliographies of feminist philosophy and overviews of the field have tended, in turn, to make this whole area of feminist philosophical research invisible. The feminist theorist/activist Charlotte Bunch once wrote that feminist theory must, among other things, hypothesize how to change what is to what there should be. She did not say – nor would I – that every feminist who puts forward an account of what there should be must also address the practical issue of how to achieve the hoped‐for results. One wonders, however, if it is possible to achieve the transformations of marriage, family, reproduction, workplace, science, society, not to mention gender itself, that feminist philosophers espouse without effecting a correspondingly great transformation of this culture's educational theory and philosophy.

The goal of this research is to analyze the heterogeneity of family firms in the normative attention to their non‐family stakeholders. With this aim, we suggest that the psychological process of top family managers in terms of individual affective commitment to their firms is a key variable to explain that heterogeneity. However, we also suggest a moderator effect of the family stakeholder salience in the relationship between the managers' affective commitment to the firm and the establishment of firm goals toward non‐family stakeholders. The results of a hierarchical regression analysis on data obtained from 207 family executives show a significant positive influence of managers' affective commitment on the establishment of goals related both to internal (employees) and external (customers and community) non‐family stakeholders. In addition, we can observe a negative moderator effect of the family utilitarian power—as an indicator of the family stakeholder salience—on the relationship between the family managers' affective commitment and the goals related to non‐family employees.

A bold and wide-ranging study across centuries, examining the conflict between "conventional" and "magical" nominalism in philosophy, history, aesthetics, political theory, and photography. In this magisterial new book, intellectual historian Martin Jay traces the long-standing competition between two versions of nominalism--"conventional" and what he calls "magical." According to Jay, since at least William of Ockham, the conventional form of nominalism contributed to the disenchantment of the world by viewing general terms as nothing more than mere names we use to group particular objects together, rejecting the idea that they refer to a further, "higher" reality. Magical nominalism, instead, performs a reenchanting function by investing proper names, disruptive events, and singular objects with an auratic power of their own. Drawing in part on Jewish theology, it challenges the elevation of the constitutive subject resulting from Ockham's reliance on divine will in his critique of real universals. Starting with the 14th-century revolution of nominalism against Scholastic realism, Jay unpacks various "counterrevolutions" against nominalism itself, including a magical alternative to its conventional form. Focusing on fundamental debates over the relationship between language, thought, and reality, Jay illuminates connections across thinkers, disciplines, and vast realms of human experience. Ranging from theology and philosophy of history to aesthetics and political theory, this book engages with a range of artists and thinkers, including Adorno, Ankersmit, Badiou, Barthes, Bataille, Benjamin, Blumenberg, Derrida, Duchamp, Foucault, Kracauer, Kripke and Lyotard. It places photography in a suggestive new discursive context. Ultimately, Magical Nominalism offers a strikingly original way to understand humanity's intellectual path to modernity along with its vicissitudes.

Se defiende en este artículo que el modelo de gestión democrática de una sociedad plural como las nuestras no puede resistir por más tiempo la exclusión institucionalizada en la que una parte de quienes están y contribuyen a la sociedad y a las cargas del Estado se ven privados de aquello que exige la democracia: el derecho, los derechos a intervenir y decidir sobre los criterios de gestión de la vida pública. Esos son los derechos políticos, que van más allá del derecho al voto. Y esos derechos —la ciudadanía, la participación política— deben poder estar al alcance de quienes quieren formar parte de nuestra sociedad.

Difícil resulta establecer los orígenes de una actividad, como complejo es señalar sus delimitaciones. Es un reto, pero puede ser asumido con cautela. Este es el problema al que se enfrenta la Historia Pública en España, un país con escasa tradición a la hora de incorporar a los ciudadanos en la elaboración –junto a los profesionales de la historia– de relatos sobre su pasado. Contamos, sin embargo, con una experiencia única de activismo ciudadano en favor de la memoria y la historia de quienes fueron asesinados y enterrados en fosas comunes clandestinas por el régimen franquista: las exhumaciones populares que se produjeron en España en las décadas de 1970 y 1980. Es un ejemplo de dignidad y de firmeza que demuestra que la historia difícilmente puede dejar de ser pública.

This paper studies the development of intensity schemes within the framework of the old quantum theory. It investigates how these schemes emerged in a complex process involving empirical observation, data analysis and conceptual reconfiguration and became essential tools for predicting the intensities of multiplets in the absence of a well-formed quantum theory of radiation. By applying the concept of paper tools, the study shows how intensity schemes became theoretical representations allowing both the classification and interpretation of observations and the formulation of theoretical predictions. It thereby highlights the importance of representational tools and empirical regularities within the development of the old quantum theory.

Vision and the gaze are key issues in the analysis of racism, sexism and ethnocentrism. In recent radical theory, generally, and French theory in particular, vision has been seen as a means of control. But this view is often unnuanced. It bypasses questions such as: Why is it that contemporary theories have been so critical of vision, and generous towards listening (in psychoanalysis) and language (in philosophy)? This collection of original essays brings together historical studies and contemporary theoretical perspectives on vision. The historical papers focus in turn on Ancient Greece, medieval theology, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment and the nineteenth century. These historical studies are themselves thoroughly informed by poststructuralist theory. They provide a rigorous background for several new, exciting articles on vision and its bearings for feminism, race, sexual orientation, film and art. This collection is the first of its kind in juxtaposing historical and contemporary.

The applications of the correspondence principle to multiplet spectroscopy, discussed in the previous chapter, presented an extension and rather radical adaptation of the correspondence principle in its original domain of atomic spectroscopy. The present chapter focuses on a research field that was well beyond the principle’s initial scope and studies an application of the correspondence principle to electronic collisions, which was developed in Göttingen between 1922 and 1923 by James Franck and Friedrich Hund to account for the newly discovered Ramsauer effect.

This chapter discusses the work of Fritz Reiche on the quantum theory of radiation and his application of the correspondence principle in the context of dispersion theory. Following his private correspondence with Kramers in 1923 and 1924, I reconstruct Reiche’s attempts to determine transition probabilities on the basis of the correspondence principle and show how they led to the formulation of a relation among transition probabilities, which came to be known as the f-sum rule or the Thomas-Reiche-Kuhn sum rule.

After the discussion of the applications of the correspondence principle in Munich, Breslau and Göttingen, the final chapter of this book returns to Copenhagen. It studies how physicists around Niels Bohr approached the multiplet intensity problem and its relation to the correspondence principle. Based on a set of letters by Bohr, Kramers, Heisenberg, Pauli, and Kronig, this chapter analyzes how the intensity problem turned from one aspect of the patchwork of problems into a challenge for the conceptual development of quantum theory which played a central role in Heisenberg’s work leading to his seminal paper “Über die quantentheoretische Umdeutung kinematischer und mechanischer Beziehungen” (henceforth Umdeutung).

In the summer of 1923, Niels Bohr gave a lecture at Harvard University on the quantum theory of the atom. He had done so many times during the 1920s in Germany, Britain, the Netherlands, and now also in the U.S. For almost 300 listeners in the audience, Bohr ’s presentation was anything but an exposition of well-known ideas. At least the professor for theoretical physics at Harvard, Edwin Kemble, thought so, as he would give another talk “to restate Bohr a little more slowly and simply” shortly after Bohr had left. In the very first sentence of his talking notes, Kemble formulated the central theme of his talk and explained: “the correspondence principle is the important tool.”

This chapter discusses the work of Niels Bohr and Hendrik Antoon Kramers on the quantum theory of the atom in relation to the correspondence principle. Within the main argument of this book, this chapter plays a pivotal role. It presents a historical analysis of the genesis of the principle and provides the baseline for the historical analysis in the following chapters. Following unpublished as well as published papers, it analyzes the origin, the formulation, and the consolidation of the correspondence principle from 1913 until 1923 and puts a special emphasis on the role of physical problems for the development of the principle.

This article is intended to be an interpretation to the question of truth in Kierkegaardian writings under the pseudonym of Johannes Climacus (mainly from Concluding Unscientific Postscript), and intended to present, in accordance with his insightful considerations of his time, the most essential points of what might be called a Kierkegaardian diatribe addressed to modernity. At the same time, his ideas are confronted with other thinkers in a dialectical way in order to contrast them and to delimit their meaning. The distinguished Dane suggests surreptitiously, but also directly, a vindication of what is human based on a search for Christian truth, decision-making, the passion to exist, intensive spirituality, and the convictions that give meaning to human existence. All this in the face of the characteristics of modernity, such as excessive rationality, reflection, scientific objectivity, abstract subjectivity and, in general, intellectual confusion with respect to the categories proper to the Christian religion.

Since the Arab Spring of 2011, the cultural heritage of the Middle East has faced a serious threat, as Daesh (ISIS) and other extremist organizations turned archaeological sites into a financing tool. In 2016, around 100,000 cultural objects of great importance, including 4,500 archaeological sites, nine of which are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, were under the control of the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. However, not only these extremist groups are included in these dynamics. Part of the population of these countries does not hesitate to carry out this type of activity to get ahead.

La integración y el uso de las TIC en los centros educativos es un proceso complejo en el que intervienen diversos factores, como son, el nivel de competencia digital docente, la infraestructura tecnológica o el acceso y uso de internet. De ahí que sea necesario abordar los estudios sobre TIC en educación desde enfoques multivariados. En este sentido, este estudio pretende conocer el uso de cinco herramientas digitales por parte de 474 estudiantes de E.S.O. en las aulas, para analizar posteriormente las ventajas e inconvenientes de dicho uso para su aprendizaje. Se presentan los resultados y se discuten sus implicaciones.

This text analyses how generative AI systems are being employed in current artistic practice to question certain historical visual narratives, creating representations that challenge some conventional perceptions of the past and thus opening up new perspectives on the experience of temporality. In this regard, special emphasis will be placed on some artistic projects based on generative historical photography practices. These are works that develop new ways around ‘archival aesthetics’ (Sekula in October 39:3–64 1986; Buchloh in Deep storage. collecting, storing and archiving in art [Exhibition catalog]. P.S.1, Nueva York, 1999; Guasch in Arte y archivo, 1920-2010. Genealogías, tipologías y discontinuidades. Akal, Madrid, 2015, etc.) by producing visual archives that do not exist or are alternatives to others. We will therefore analyse works that critically examine how these generative systems can contribute to a revision and re-evaluation of the past, as well as to the problematisation of the ways in which photography has been used for the historical record. These poetics invite subtle reflections on the role of the visual archive in the processes of shaping subjectivity and personal and communal identity. In the final part of the text, we will deal with the study of some artists who, through appropriationist strategies and remakes assisted by generative AI models, revise artistic works from the past, specifically from the photoconceptualism of the 1970s. In these strategies, the thematisation of the relations between photographic register and temporality also plays a leading role.

La controversia en torno a las llamadas ‘políticas morales’ ha adquirido creciente visibilidad en España durante las últimas décadas. Frente a estas políticas, legisladas en un contexto de progresiva secularización, ha surgido un campo de organizaciones civiles laicas, de inspiración católica e ideología neoconservadora (OLIC-N) que busca defender el marco normativo católico. Librando una doble batalla, cultural y política, estas organizaciones proporcionan nuevos ángulos para analizar la relación entre religión y política desde el marco de la postsecularidad. Las OLIC-N desprivatizan el catolicismo en la esfera pública mediante repertorios de protesta y marcos discursivos estratégicamente secularizados. Se alinean, así, con la estrategia vaticana de ‘nueva evangelización’, que aboga por una «recristianización velada» de las instituciones y la sociedad protagonizada por el laicado. Sus miembros pueden caracterizarse, consecuentemente, como ‘ciudadanos-creyentes’ y activistas. Basándonos en la literatura sobre postsecularización y movimientos sociales, y en un estudio cualitativo de 7 años, trazamos el ciclo de protesta y la estructura organizacional del campo OLIC-N a lo largo de 40 años. A continuación, comparamos dos eventos de protesta organizados por los bloques OLIC-N «moderado» y «radicalizado» durante la última fase del ciclo, caracterizada por una ascendente ‘polarización afectiva’ provocada por la «transversalización» de los postulados feministas, y la institucionalización de dinámicas de 'cultural backlash' desde la llegada de VOX a las instituciones. Nuestros datos muestran que la movilización del ‘laicado organizado’ no es siempre o necesariamente «aliada» de la pluralización de los sistemas democráticos, indicando la necesidad de repensar algunos de los postulados de la postsecularización.
