<p>The Austromarxist era of the 1920s was a unique chapter in socialist history. Trying to carve out a road between reformism and Bolshevism, the Austromarxists embarked on an ambitious journey towards a socialist oasis in the midst of capitalism. Their showpiece, the legendary “Red Vienna,” has worked as a model for socialist urban planning ever since. At the heart of the Austromarxist experiment was the conviction that a socialist revolution had to entail a cultural one. Numerous workers’ institutions and organizations were founded, from education centers to theaters to hiking associations. With the Fascist threat increasing, the physical aspects of the cultural revolution became ever more central as they were considered mandatory for effective defense.</p> <p>At no other time in socialist history did armed struggle, sports, and sobriety become as intertwined in a proletarian attempt to protect socialist achievements as they did in Austria in the early 1930s. Despite the final defeat of the workers’ militias in the Austrian Civil War of 1934 and subsequent Fascist rule, the Austromarxist struggle holds important lessons for socialist theory and practice.</p> <p><em>Antifascism, Sports, Sobriety</em> contains an introductory essay by Gabriel Kuhn and selected writings by Julius Deutsch, leader of the workers’ militias, president of the Socialist Workers’ Sport International, and a prominent spokesperson for the Austrian workers’ temperance movement. Deutsch represented the physical defense of the working class against its enemies like few others. His texts in this book are being made available in English for the first time.</p> -
<p>From the cooks who have fed rebels and revolutionaries to the collective kitchens set up after ecological disasters, food has long played a crucial role in resistance, protest, and mutual aid. <em>Nourishing Resistance</em> centers these everyday acts of culinary solidarity. Twenty-three contributors—cooks, farmers, writers, organizers, academics, and dreamers—write on queer potlucks, rebel ancestors, disability justice, Indigenous food sovereignty, and the fight against toxic diet culture, among many other topics.</p> <p>They recount bowls of biryani at a Delhi protest, fricasé de conejo on a Puerto Rican farm, and pay-as-you-want dishes in a collectively run Hong Kong restaurant. They chronicle the food distribution programs that emerged in Buenos Aires and New York City in the wake of COVID-19. They look to the past, revealing how women rice workers composed the song “Bella Ciao,” and the future, speculating on postcapitalist worlds that include both high-tech collective farms and herbs gathered beside highways.</p> <p>Through essays, articles, poems, and stories, <em>Nourishing Resistance</em> argues that food is a central, intrinsic part of global struggles for autonomy and collective liberation.</p> -
<p>Este libro relata los recorridos de internación y muerte de pacientes mujeres en el Hospital Esteves, de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, a través de sus Historias Clínicas, durante un periodo crítico para el número de fallecimientos allí: los años ‘60.</p> <p>De esta manera, encontramos las voces acalladas en esas historias clínicas, la sobrevivencia y muerte de mujeres, inmigrantes y trabajadoras en su internación psiquiátrica y ciertas formas de lo manicomial a lo largo del siglo XX. Tales ejes emergen a partir de las marcas en los cuerpos que produjo el manicomio. La autora propone varios ejes para una salud mental que se integre a la salud en general y deje de ser su “hija pobre”. Primero, porque las personas que atraviesan una crisis de “salud mental” pueden transitar, al mismo tiempo, otros problemas de salud que requieran atención de clínica médica y de otras especialidades. Las muertes por causas evitables en los grandes monovalentes son hoy, de una crueldad obscena.</p> <p>Segundo, porque el argumento del número de camas que ocuparían las personas con padecimiento mental en un hospital general o “la infraestructura necesaria” no es más que un tema presupuestario, principalmente de falta de personal. Y por último, porque la mera existencia de un patio de atrás donde “alojar lo que obstruye” nos tiene que alertar sobre la maquinaria de degradación de la vida y la muerte a la que todos estamos expuestos. Resultado de ello es la muerte, en mayo de 2020, de un hombre internado en el Borda tras ser atacado por una jauría de perros que circulaba por el hospital.</p> <p>Por ello, como sostiene la autora: «Que nadie muera por pobre y loco. Que eso nos agobie, nos saque el sueño y no lo soportemos más.» Este es el objetivo del libro.</p>
