Social Mobilization in Morocco: Lessons Learned for a Historically Informed Activism

Social Mobilization in Morocco: Lessons Learned for a Historically Informed Activism

Saskia Sassen; Fadma Ait Mouss; Natalia Ribas-Mateos

ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon
2022
nidottu
This collected volume investigates the ways in which historical training supports current activism and advocacy in global times by highlighting models of social activism and political representation in different parts of the world, with diverse social actions, strategies, and protest spaces. Morocco is a fascinating society to examine protest movements in an authoritarian regime. For the first time ever, the contributors reply in detail to questions, challenges and findings regarding the implications of historically informed activism in Morocco. The cooperative perspective is the key to a better understanding as it reinvigorates a conversation between social scientists--sociologists, anthropologists, and political scientists--and historians about how to analyse social and political activism. The main findings relate to the great structural transformations that have shaped the current power regimes in a longue dur e perspective. How are social movements born, how do they mature, and how do they die? Through the dynamics of social mobilisation, we discover the structure of the power regime, the responses (strategies), and its forms of survival (resources and capacities). How does history inform and empower current activism? The book covers 22 scenarios of popular revolts -urban, rural, and peripheral. Casablanca (1907, 1965, 2000), Fez (1907, 1990), the Eastern Rif (1909, 1921, 1958, 1984, 2004), Meknes (1937, 2011), Tangiers (1952, 2011, 2015), Sal , (1930, 2008), Taza (1915), and Imider (2011).

Governance in the New Global Disorder

Governance in the New Global Disorder

Daniel Innerarity; Saskia Sassen

Columbia University Press
2016
sidottu
When we talk about globalization, we tend to focus on its social and economic benefits. In Governance in the New Global Disorder, the political philosopher Daniel Innerarity considers its unsettling and largely unacknowledged consequences. The "opening" of different societies to new ideas, products, and forms of prosperity has introduced a persistent uncertainty, or disorder, into everyday life. Multinational corporations have weakened sovereignty. We no longer know who is in control or who is responsible. Economies can collapse without sufficient warning, and the effort to rebuild can drag on for years. Piracy is everywhere. Is there any way to balance the interests of state, marketplace, and society in this new construct of power? Since national economies have become deterritorialized and political interdependencies aggravate our common vulnerabilities, Innerarity contends that there is no other solution except to move toward global governance and a denationalization of justice. Globalization tries to unify the world through technologies, the economy, and cultural products and styles, but it cannot articulate or regulate political and legal equivalents. Everyone faces the same risks to their security, food supply, health, financial stability, and environment, and these risks demand a new global politics of humanity. In her foreword, the sociologist Saskia Sassen isolates the key takeaways from Innerarity's argument and the solutions they present to growing global tensions.

What Can We Hope For?

Richard Rorty; Saskia Sassen

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS

sidottu
Prescient essays about the state of our politics from the philosopher who predicted that a populist demagogue would become president of the United StatesRichard Rorty, one of the most influential intellectuals of recent decades, is perhaps best known today as the philosopher who, almost two decades before the 2016 U.S. presidential election, warned of the rise of a Trumpian strongman in America. What Can We Hope For? gathers nineteen of Rorty’s essays on American and global politics, including four previously unpublished and many lesser-known and hard-to-find pieces.In these provocative and compelling essays, Rorty confronts the critical challenges democracies face at home and abroad, including populism, growing economic inequality, and overpopulation and environmental devastation. In response, he offers optimistic and realistic ideas about how to address these crises. He outlines strategies for fostering social hope and building an inclusive global community of trust, and urges us to put our faith in trade unions, universities, bottom-up social campaigns, and bold political visions that thwart ideological pieties.Driven by Rorty’s sense of emergency about our collective future, What Can We Hope For? is filled with striking diagnoses of today’s political crises and creative proposals for solving them.

Fronesis 18. Staden

Fronesis 18. Staden

David Harvey; Mike Davis; Saskia Sassen

Fronesis
2009
lehtivihko, moniste
Mer än halva mänskligheten bor nu i städer. Och det är inte i nord som den största tillväxten av stadsbefolkningar sker, utan i syd. Föreställningen om syd som ruralt och jordbruksdominerat, i motsats nord som antas vara urbant och industriellt, förefaller därmed inte längre vara giltig. I Fronesis nr 18 granskas stadens roll i en globaliserad kapitalism, och dess roll för flödena av människor och ekonomiska värden. Det handlar om framväxten av en nyliberal stadspolitik, byggd på nya klass- och könsorättvisor, nya gränser och kontroll. Innehåll i Fronesis nr 18 (223 sidor) Magnus Hörnqvist, Anders Lund Hansen, Hanna Pettersson, Olav Unsgaard och Magnus Wennerhag: En öppen stad, en ej befästad Mike Davis: Slummens planet: Urban tillbakagång och det informella proletariatet Christan Abrahamsson och Frida Andersson: Harvey, kapitalismen och staden David Harvey: Pengar, tid, rum och staden Anders Lund Hansen: Rumskrig, nyliberalism och skalpolitik Neil Smith: Ny globalism, ny urbanism:ojämn utveckling i det tjugoförsta århundradet Lars Mikael Raattamaa: Den offentliga klassen Dalia Mukhtar-Landgren: Den delade staden – Välfärd för alla i kunskapsstaden Malmö Pär Thörn: Den kommunala kroppen Mats Franzén: Mellan stigma och karisma.

Jane Jacobs blev känd över världen för sin bok The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Genom boken och sin aktivism på gatunivå i 1960-talets New York blev hon en centralfigur inom stadsplaneringsfrågor och hennes insatser har efter genombrottet ständigt tolkats och debatterats.Den tidiga berömmelsen verkar emellertid ha överskuggat hennes författarskap trots att det sträcker sig fram till 2004. Jacobs breddade sitt tänkande till att omfatta samhällsbyggandet i dess vidaste mening från ekonomi och ekologi till politik och samhällsfilosofi. Hennes böcker tvingar läsaren att reflektera och vidga sitt synfält. Jacobs är mer aktuell än någonsin i den ovissa värld vi möter idag.I Samhällsbyggandet som mysterium tar tretton initierade skribenter upp unika aspekter av de brännande frågor hon väcker vad är det som i grunden gör ett samhälle hållbart? Tillsammans tecknar de medverkande för första gången på svenska en nära nog heltäckande bild av Jacobs verksamhet från 1930-tal till 2000-tal, och sätter in hennes arbeten i nutida kontexter. Boken utgör samtidigt en introduktion och guide till Jacobs författarskap som kan inspirera till vidare läsning och upptäckter. Medverkande:Ola Andersson.

An Observer Architecture Book of the YearSoaring income inequality and unemployment, expanding populations of the displaced and imprisoned, accelerating destruction of land and water bodies: today's socioeconomic and environmental dislocations cannot be fully understood in the usual terms of poverty and injustice, according to Saskia Sassen. They are more accurately understood as a type of expulsion--from professional livelihood, from living space, even from the very biosphere that makes life possible."Saskia Sassen's Expulsions describes the global forces that make ever more tenuous and fragile most people's grip on the places where they live."--Rowan Moore, The Observer"Coupled with her earlier work, this may be a paradigm breaking/making work."--Michael D. Kennedy, Contemporary Sociology"Once again, sociologist Sassen uses her considerable knowledge to think creatively at both the local and global levels...In place of the principle of inclusion in the pre-1980s Keynesian era, the planet is increasingly dominated by a principle of exclusion of people, land, natural resources, and water. Sassen presents a powerful conceptual analysis and an equally powerful and timely call to action."--M. Oromaner, Choice

Guests and Aliens presents a comprehensive analysis of worldwide immigration by one of the world's leading experts on globalization. Putting the current crisis' of immigration into a historical context for the first time, Sassen suggests that the American experience represents only one phase in a history of global border crossing. Sassen explores the causes of immigration that have resulted in nations' welcoming incomers as 'guests' or disparaging them as 'aliens,' and outlines an enlightened approach to improving US and European immigration policies.'

Dramatic skies, rain-swept vistas, fields of flowers, a single piece of fruit; Dutch photographer Saskia Boelsums’ work encompasses subjects both small and vast. This career overview, accompanied by an interview with the artist, explores how she has evolved as an artist, from still life and portrait photography to her well-known impressionistic landscapes. She lives and works under the same skies as the Dutch Masters, and she references their influence in her approach to colour, light and subject. Saskia Boelsums: Artist with a Camera is her third monograph from Lannoo, and it captures the range of her work in a beautifully presented volume of words and images. Text in English and Dutch.

Tells the story of Rembrandt and his marriage to Saskia, the love of his life. Paintings, drawings, etchings, objects, letters and poems tell the tale of a society marriage in 17th century Holland. Accompanies a travelling exhibition in The Netherlands at the Fries Museum, 24 November, 2018, to 19 March 2019 and in Kassel, Germany, 12 April, to 11 August 2019. The year 2019 marks the 350th anniversary of Rembrandt's death. Rembrandt van Rijn married Saskia van Uylenburgh, the love of his life, in Friesland (the Netherlands) in 1634. The famous painter came to know her when she visited her cousin in Amsterdam, Hendrick van Uylenburgh, Rembrandt's art dealer. This book, the catalogue for a travelling exhibition, sketches a picture of marriage in the time of Rembrandt and Saskia. Their story is the tale of a high society marriage in seventeenth century Holland, from courtships to weddings to daily married life and funerals. The show follows Rembrandt and Saskia from their meeting to her untimely early death after 10 years of marriage. Paintings, drawings, and etchings by Rembrandt, as well as letters and poetry, are featured alongside wedding portraits, objects, and jewellery from the period, offering insight into what weddings and married life meant in the Golden Age of 17th century Holland.
