    Las imágenes de las guerrillas centroamericanas en las redes de la solidaridad internacional de Suecia.
    (2016-10-18) Camacho Padilla, Fernando; Ramírez Palacio, Laura
    Since the mid-sixties, Latin American revolutionary experiences generated great enthusiasm among the Swedish progressive youth. With the aim of exposing the political process and the difficult reality of the marginalized sectors, many citizens of the Nordic country traveled to the region to record and transmit the events. Several photographers were among them, both professional and amateur, who meticulously registered everything they experienced during their journeys. Much of their material was utilized, published and disseminated by the Swedish solidarity committees through various channels, such as posters, newsletters and exhibitions, among others. Furthermore, the revolutionary movements provided their own photographs to Scandinavia, which showed scenes of daily life and the difficult social conditions of their respective country. On one hand, this article examines the arrival and the uses of photographs of Central American revolutionary experiences, mainly from Nicaragua and El Salvador, in Sweden. On the other hand, it is an interpretation of the desired social effect sought by the authors and both political and solidarity organizations that were responsible for their dissemination.

    Mesa IV.-La revolución de los pobres: Ética y política de la necesidad en ÁgnesHeller y Hannah Arendt
    Fernández-Flórez, Lucía; Universidad de Murcia
    RESUMEN En esta comunicación, se investiga la relación entre las filosofías de Ágnes Heller y Hannah Arendt en torno al concepto de necesidad, esencial para comprender la filosofía ética y política de Heller. Se desvela así una oposición entre dos filosofías, la de Heller y la de Arendt, pero también entre dos tradiciones, la marxista y la fenomenológico-existencialista. Más allá de compartir numerosos temas y problemas (sin lo que no sería posible un diálogo), el examen del papel de la necesidad en las revoluciones modernas acaba por demostrar que ambas filósofas mantienen una postura muy diferente frente a la modernidad.

    The Sandinista Revolution in the Netherlands: the Dutch solidarity committees and Nicaragua (1977-1990).
    (2016-10-18) van Ommen, Eline
    This article analyses the formation, popularity, and the struggles of the Dutch solidarity movement for Nicaragua in the late 1970s and 1980s. It brings together domestic and transnational approaches to the history of Third World solidarity activism. In doing so, this article argues that a longer history of Dutch leftist activism and fascination with Latin American culture, in combination with the diplomatic efforts of the FSLN to create an international support base, were the main driving forces behind the Nicaragua solidarity movement in the Netherlands. In particular, this article identifies the 1979 Sandinista Revolution and the 1981 election of Ronald Reagan as crucial turning points for the Dutch solidarity movement, as the solidarity committees needed to adapt to the changing military and political situation in the Western hemisphere.
