TDR is scholarly, accessible, and dynamic. TDR is inclusive and interdisciplinary. Each article is tightly focusedbut taken as a whole TDR is global. With its broad range of topics, TDR is at the cutting edge of performance studies. Its writers and editors support progressive political and social movements, art and ideas. Written by and for scholars and artists -and their students -TDR is where leaders and future leaders in the field of performance studies go for performance texts, performative writing, editorials, reviews, interviews, and research articles about the performing arts, performance in everyday life, popular entertainments, sports, business, and politics -the broad spectrum of performance.

, nacido en Cuzco en 1934. fue un dirigente revolucionario de la lucha campesina peruana y de la izquierda revolucionaria latinoamericana. Al promediar los años cincuenta, viajó a la Argentina para estudiar agronomía. Asumió su militancia en la ciudad de La Plata, donde se ligó a la organización trotskista que publicaba el periódico Palabra Obrera. Pasó de la Universidad a militar en una fábrica, que fue su escuela de formación política revolucionaria. Volvió al Perú y se incorporó a la lucha campesina en 1958. Ayudó a fortalecer los sindicatos campesinos y el desarrollo de sus movilizaciones, impulsó las tomas de tierras y la reforma agraria. Los hechos ocurridos en los valles de la convención y Lares, a fines de los años y principios de los sesenta. Fue perseguido y apresado en mayo de 1963. Un tribunal militar intentó condenarlo a muerte. Una gran movilización nacional e internacional logró que la pena le fuese conmutada a 25 años de prisión. A principios de los años setenta fue liberado por una amnistía del gobierno militar nacionalista de Velazco Alvarado, quien le ofreció participar en su gestión, que rechazó. Esto hizo que fuera posteriormente deportado. En 1978 fue elegido para la Asamblea Constituyente. En 1980 asumió como diputado y en 1990 como senador, mandato que fue interrumpido por el autogolpe de Fujimori en 1992. Falleció en Upsala, Suecia, en 2023. El libro está precedido por "comentarios" de Eduardo Galeano, Raúl Ziibechi y un prólogo por Norma Giarracca, y la correspondencia de Hugo Blanco con el escritor José María Arguedas El libro cuenta con 11 capítulos, escritos durante sus años en la cárcel, o en el exilio, dedicados a la lucha por la tierra, la cultura india, contrapuesta al neoliberalismo. Sus páginas, "escritas a borbotones, desordenadas, jubilosas y desesperadas, cuentan las aventuras y desventuras del hombre que encabezó la lucha campesina en el Perú, el organizador de los sindicatos rurales, el que impulsó una reforma agraria nacida desde abajo y desde abajo peleada", afirma Eduardo Galeano.

Pada era digital seperti saat ini, aplikasi layanan jasa telah menjadi salah satu pilihan utama yang tersedia bagi masyarakat untuk memuaskan kebutuhan dan keinginan mereka. Aplikasi-aplikasi tersebut menyediakan berbagai layanan, seperti transportasi, pengiriman makanan, dan jasa lainnya yang dapat diakses secara mudah melalui perangkat seluler. Salah satu manfaat utama dari penggunaan aplikasi transportasi online adalah kemudahan aksebilitas. Saat ini, terdapat beberapa aplikasi transportasi online yang populer di Indonesia seperti Grab, Gojek, Maxim, Anterin, InDriver, dan sebagainya. 1 Maxim adalah perusahaan transportasi online yang kini menjadi salah satu pemain utama di Indonesia. 2 Maxim didirikan oleh Maxim Belonogov, seorang wirausahawan asal Rusia yang lahir di Provinsi Shadrinks pada awal 1980-an. Berasal dari keluarga sederhana, Belonogov harus bekerja sejak kecil, mulai dari menjadi loper koran hingga relawan rumah sakit. Setelah lulus dari Kurgan State University pada 2012, ia sempat gagal dalam bisnis IT. Namun, pada 2003, ia memulai layanan pemesanan taksi berbasis pager dan telepon multisaluran di Shadrinks. Inovasi ini berkembang seiring kemajuan teknologi, hingga akhirnya Maxim menjadi aplikasi transportasi online yang berekspansi ke berbagai negara, termasuk Indonesia sejak 2018. 3

The Anti-Arrack Movement of early 1990s Andhra Pradesh is a compelling case of grassroots feminist mobilization translating into substantive policy change. Spearheaded by rural women across caste and class divisions, the movement arose in response to the devastating socioeconomic impacts of rampant alcohol consumption-from crippled family incomes to intensified domestic violence-even as the state enriched itself on arrack excise revenues. Drawing on historical accounts, this paper traces how women's shared experiences of deprivation and abuse coalesced into a sustained public campaign that forced the state to ban arrack in 1993 (and adopt total prohibition by 1995). Situating the Anti-Arrack agitation within a broader context of bottom-up governance reform, the study illustrates how non-elite actors can reshape state priorities through persistent civic action. The movement's evolution from localized, literacy-driven awakening to statewide protests (marches, sit-ins, and media campaigns) underscores the agency of marginalized women in reconfiguring state-citizen relations. Ultimately, the movement's trajectory offers vital insights into how collective action from the grassroots can disrupt entrenched power structures and redefine the very agenda of development.

O objecto deste estudo é a moeda e o sistema
monetário, nas condições em que foram definidos pelo
segundo sistema colonial. O nosso objectivo é, principalmente,
contribuir para uma definição mais exacta da moeda colonial,
passo indispensável para uma melhor compreensão do próprio
sistema colonial e para uma discussão mais substanciada dos
fenómenos monetários e financeiros coloniais. Este estudo é
desenvolvido em dois níveis: no primeiro, privilegiamos o
processo histórico da formação e desenvolvimento do sistema
monetário e bancário nas colónias portuguesas de África; no
segundo nível, procuramos uma aproximação mais globalizante,
de modo a observar as condições próprias do expansionismo e
da colonização dos séculos XIX-XX que levaram à formação dos
sistemas monetários e bancários coloniais e à emergência de uma
natureza específica para a moeda colonial.

En este breve escrito se pretende trabajar sobre la aplicabilidad en la actualidad de dos conceptos de El Capital de Marx: el valor de uso y el valor de cambio. Para este cometido se estudiaron los textos básicos de Adam Smith y Carlos Marx, bajo la óptica de las lecturas del economista marxista, recientemente fallecido, Paul Sweezy. Además, se aplica el concepto de Marx de El fetichismo de la mercancía, y su secreto en las relaciones sociales en la actualidad. Finalmente, para contraponer a este proceso de mercantilización, el autor, presenta algunas alternativas basadas en los enfoques de Ignacio Ellacuría, acerca de la Civilización de la pobreza. This brief article aims to work on the current applicability of two concepts of Marx's Capital: the use-value and the exchange-value. For this task, basic texts by Adam Smith and Carlos Marx were reviewed, under the point of view of the recently deceased Marxist economist Paul Sweezy. Besides, Marx's concept fetishism of commodities and the secret thereof is applied to the present social relations. Finally, to set up against this process of mercantilization, the author presents some alternatives based on Ignacio Ellacuría's ideas about the Civilization of poverty.

Kemajuan teknologi digital telah melahirkan model pekerjaan baru berbasis aplikasi, salah satunya adalah ojek online (ojol). Meskipun memberikan fleksibilitas dan kemudahan akses transportasi bagi masyarakat, sistem ini menyisakan persoalan mendasar terkait status hukum pengemudinya. Artikel ini membahas ketidakjelasan hubungan kerja antara pengemudi ojol dan perusahaan aplikasi, yang selama ini dikategorikan sebagai "mitra", sehingga pengemudi tidak memperoleh perlindungan hukum layaknya pekerja formal. Dalam praktiknya, perusahaan tetap mengontrol aspek signifikan dalam operasional kerja, seperti tarif, insentif, dan pemutusan hubungan kerja sepihak, yang mencerminkan subordinasi seperti hubungan kerja. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan regulasi yang lebih adil dan berpihak kepada pengemudi, dengan mengatur status hukum yang jelas, perlindungan sosial minimum, mekanisme penyelesaian sengketa yang transparan, serta partisipasi dalam kebijakan insentif. Penataan hukum yang responsif terhadap perkembangan ekonomi digital menjadi kunci mewujudkan keadilan dan keberlanjutan industri transportasi berbasis aplikasi.

É uma grata satisfação e motivo de honra prefaciar mais uma obra da Jurista Charlene de Ávila em parceria com o advogado Néri Perin. O livro Propriedade Intelectual e Direito dos Agricultores às Sementes é leitura obrigatória e, ao mesmo tempo, agradável e com conteúdo acurado para todos/as que se debruçam no tema sempre atual da Propriedade Intelectual. A obra é organizada em três capítulos articulados e complementares entre si, o que denota um fio condutor que amplia e, ao mesmo tempo aprofunda as lentes e as análises no tocante à temática. O primeiro capítulo intitulado: As Origens da proteção de variedades vegetais pelo mecanismo da propriedade intelectual sui generis: Estados Unidos, Europa, Brasil e Índia, além de realizar análise comparativa dos espaços territoriais envolvidos, destaca um interessante didático quadro comparativo dos principais aspectos relacionados às sementes salvas para uso próprio no âmbito das legislações americana e brasileira. O Capítulo destaca, também, de forma competente as questões relevantes que envolvem o Direito dos Melhoristas, dos criadores, pesquisadores e agricultores, de forma clara e didática. Aborda uma questão central e complexa no tocante à análise das determinações constantes na União Internacional para Proteção das Variedades Vegetais (UPOV) e a interface referente ao artigo 27.3 "b" do TRIPS pactuado no âmbito da Organização Mundial do Comércio (OMC). É interessante destacar que essa questão não é enfrentada pela doutrina de um modo geral, sendo certo que a obra, sem dúvida, preenche esse flanco de forma significativa. No contexto do Capítulo 2 denominado: A Lei de Proteção de Cultivares no Brasil: Sua trajetória, os autores versam de forma pormenorizada sobre os aspectos positivos e os negativos sobre a referida Lei. Os autores realizam o levantamento e a análise da Legislação Projetada sobre o tema em tramitação na Câmara e no Senado, bem como analisam os impactos, consequências no tocante à alteração da Lei de Proteção de Cultivares. Trata-se de uma exposição doutrinária de relevo e que, sem dúvida, destaca e evidencia apurada análise hermenêutica da questão. Por fim, o terceiro capítulo da obra intitulado: Dos Direitos dos Agricultores evidencia essa temática, igualmente pouco explorada pela doutrina no tocante as ações e práticas de guardar, usar, trocar e vender sementes, ou seja, explora e explica essas práticas ancestrais de forma clara e elucidativa. O Capítulo aborda proposta para alteração do artigo 42 da Lei 9.279/96 em face das determinações contidas na Lei de Proteção de Cultivares elaborada pelo saudoso jurista e mestre de todos/as nós estudantes de propriedade intelectual Denis Borges Barbosa e pelo advogado coautor da obra Néri Perin. O Capítulo discute também casos emblemáticos que envolvem as Corporações Transnacionais em especial a Monsanto. Realiza, ainda, por fim, a análise comparativa envolvida entre o Direito de Patentes e a Proteção de Cultivares. Conforme é possível verificar a obra, sem dúvida, é leitura obrigatória. Reitero os agradecimentos pela oportunidade em ser primeira leitora para prefaciar o relevante livro e, ao mesmo tempo, para delinear um cartão de visita aos/às leitores/as. -Boa leitura!

The article presents an analysis of the subsumption of labor to capital and how this antagonistic and contradictory relationship constitutes an obstacle to the emancipation of labor, understanding from the Marxian ontological perspective that the associated work is the foundation of emancipated society, and constitutes a free, conscious, collective and universal activity. Thus such analysis has as its starting point a certain historical moment, the capitalist society. In this sense, we analyze the process of primitive accumulation of capital presupposed in the relation capital / labor; the control of capital and the assumptions of the associated work, which present among them the end of the subsumption of value of use to the value of exchange, and of private property, that is, of the subordination of labor to capital.

My differences with Fred and Winfried don't start with Adam and Eve, but they're not far from it. We agree on the first page of the first chapter of Capital, but we split on the second page, when Marx introduces exchange value. There is a lot to say about Fred's book, but in this short presentation, I will focus on his interpretation of the first few pages of Capital's chapter 1. We are talking about different readings of Marx's Capital, but this is not just a discussion for theory nerds. The different readings can have consequences for our understanding of capitalism and of a post-capitalist economy. But that is not the topic for today.

This paper considers racial slavery to be a problem for the Marxist philosophy of history. I begin with an exploration of the "peculiar historicity of race" in the way racial slavery is accounted for in the value-form. Then I read for how Marx (and Engels) rely on a teleological 'necessity' to describe the revolution between slavery and communism. This is followed by engaging Marx's "positive debt to Hegel" qua the latter's speculative theology. In inheriting this debt, racial abstractions at work in the Marxist philosophy of history emerge as an obstacle to theorizing the racial quality of racial slavery, accounting instead for only its historiographical and/or economic conditions, which implicates how communism is thought. To conclude, I argue that a return to Hegel surfaces the way that race comes to constitute the very substance of historical movement itself: race is the condition of possibility for history at all.

This article revisits the debates on socially necessary labor-time (SNLT) in the light of contemporary discussions of Marx´s value-theory, which have tended to move from a rather narrow focus on the explanation of the economic basis of the exploitation of wage-workers, to a wider critical inquiry into the social constitution of alienated forms of mediation that structure capitalist society. Moreover, this re-examination of SNLT draws on a novel reading of the textual evidence offered by the critical edition of the manuscripts for Capital, against the backdrop of a brief overview of the controversies between the three main interpretations which can be found in the literature, and the development of an alternative systematic-dialectical presentation of the constitution of the content and concrete forms of realization of the quantitative determination of value.

A discussão sobre o papel dos intelectuais sempre garantiu um lugar de destaque no debate sociológico, desde seu surgimento até meados do século XX, principalmente no debate brasileiro e francês, pois além de ser inerente à construção teórica da disciplina, sempre aliou a discussão de temas variados à discussão de autores e suas trajetórias. Entretanto, esta discussão cedeu espaço a uma enorme gama de assuntos originados por outros tipos de demanda com as quais a sociologia se deparou nas últimas décadas, fato que conferiu à disciplina uma grande especialização. Intelectuais e Estado, coletânea de textos organizada por Marcelo Ridenti, Elide Rugai Bastos e Denis Rolland, resultou de um seminário internacional Intelectuais, sociedade e Estado, realizado na Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP), em setembro de 2004. O seminário internacional contou com a presença de intelectuais brasileiros e franceses, fruto de um intercâmbio entre a CAPES e algumas universidades francesas. Por ser uma coletânea resultante deste seminário, talvez falte a alguns textos o nexo necessário à constituição de um livro em si, pois os temas discutidos apresentam uma grande complexidade, muitas vezes não explorada, tal como o foram na realização do seminário. Entretanto, a coletânea tem o grande mérito de abarcar muitos dos dilemas vividos pelos diversos tipos de intelectuais desde o século XIX até a década de 70, no Brasil e na França, traçando um panorama geral muito interessante sobre a história intelectual brasileira deste período, além de nos informar sobre importantes personagens da história intelectual européia do século XX. A coletânea está organizada em torno de três temas: "Intelectuais e Estado no século XIX", "Intelectuais e os Estados Novos dos anos 1920 a 1945", e "Intelectuais, artistas e Estado pós-1950". A primeira parte privilegia a ação de intelectuais na modernização política e nacional de Estados em constituição, fato que torna possível a defi nição de determinadas identidades intelectuais. Já na primeira metade do século XX, foco da segunda parte, os artigos mostram como os

Much has been written about the prospects of automation in recent years. While many have raised concerns over the threat of technological mass unemployment, others have anticipated a fully automated communist utopia which will provide material abundance to everyone. (De)Automating the Future gathers chapters that critically investigate automation’s ambivalences from inter-disciplinary Marxist perspectives. The contributions raise questions about automation’s affordances for postcapitalism, its transformation of manual and mental labour, and its role in the intensification of class antagonisms and exploitation.

For centuries, Western imperialism has established a set of strict hierarchical, exploitative, and repressive relations with Iran through capitalist apparatuses such as unequal trade, military domination, and structures of accumulation, thereby ensured and perpetuated the country's underdevelopment. Underpinning these apparatuses is a set of Eurocentric-Orientalist discourses, which reify Iranian society as an amorphous blob of backward, apolitical, stagnant, and archaic peoples, who have historically subjected themselves to totalitarian, "Oriental despots." The corollary of this doxa is that the working masses are unable to mobilise and conduct a rational, egalitarian, secular, and humanist project that addresses their needs. Against this ideological and epistemological fallacy, this article conducts a dialectical and materialist analysis which examines Iranian history and politics through a multi-layered framework: internal class dynamics (meso-level) and their relations as a single geo-political site and circuit of the global capitalist system. Following the three waves of industrialisation, from 1848 to the present, the article demonstrates that Iran politics is shaped by a complex interplay of three social antagonistic forces: nationalist bourgeois, comprador bourgeois, and their antithesis, the working class. Moreover, the article argues that this internal interplay is an understudied site of conflict influenced and determined by global capitalist dynamics.

When we consider the presence of Marxist-based concepts and theories in academic geography, we highlight some that stand out for their analytical potential in unveiling capitalist contradictions at different scales. Among these, we emphasize in this article the theory of uneven and combined development. Our objective here is to discuss uneven (and combined) development as an explanatory theory within the field of geographic science, pointing out general aspects of this reading of the development of capitalist relations. As a methodological procedure, this text used a bibliographic survey in two moments: a) authors who support the theory of uneven (and combined) development in general; and b) authors in academic geography who deal with this theoretical construct.

How did I, only a generalist IAS officer, get into this subject? I had a fascination for tribal areas and opted for posting to Dantewada subdivision in Bastar district in 1968, two years after joining IAS in 1966, at the southernmost tip of MP, the largest district in India with an area more than Kerala, adjoining Andhra Pradesh. There being no competition for such posting, I soon reached there. My friends wondered why I was going to this god-forsaken place. Bailadilla Iron Ore Project of NMDC was soon inaugurated there. At the same time Naxalites, being chased by Andhra Police, started arriving in Dantewada for refuge. They were educated boys. We gave refuge on the condition that they will not indulge in violence. We also had no choice as the district was ill-equipped and had no infrastructure to check them.

In this book Ernesto Screpanti provides a rigorous examination of Marx’s theory of exploitation, one of the cornerstones of Marxist thought. With precision and clarity, he identifies the holes in traditional readings of Marx’s theory before advancing his own original interpretation, drawing on contemporary philosophy and economic theory to provide a refreshingly interdisciplinary exegesis. Screpanti’s arguments are delivered with perspicuity and verve: this is a book that aims to spark a debate. He exposes ambiguities present in Marx’s exposition of his own theory, especially when dealing with the employment contract and the notions of ‘abstract labor’ and ‘labor value’, and he argues that these ambiguities have given rise to misunderstandings in previous analyses of Marx’s theory of exploitation. Screpanti’s own interpretation is a meticulously argued counterpoint to these traditional interpretations.

Então, tenho que me referir a Paulo Pêgas, querido amigo e companheiro de trabalho nesta época que, ao ver as portas se abrindo para uma oportunidade de trabalho na Amazônia, muito me incentivou. Tenho também que fazer referência ao amigo Jefferson Amaro que, já trabalhando no Acre, indicou o meu nome para participar da seleção para o referido trabalho, me enviando o edital e dando algumas dicas importantes. Ao Brito, Sr. Daú, Valdox, Moacyr Araújo, Pedro Bruzzi e Carlos Ovídio Rezendão, por terem acreditado em mim para ocupar a superintendência da Cooperativa dos Produtores Florestais Comunitários do Acre. Aos 68 seringueiros cooperados, que me proporcionaram quase dois anos de intensa ação e reflexão no seio de uma sociedade que se depara há tempos com a brutalidade da modernidade. Ao Adriano, grande gaudério, pela cooperação profissional e pessoal nos quase dois anos de trabalho diário na cooperativa, que terminaram por constituir uma boa amizade e agradáveis churrascos. Impossível esquecer a importância de reencontrar no Acre outros velhos amigos: Leonardo Lélis (Cabeça, Raposão ...) e Georgheton Nogueira (Geo). Foram eles que, ao se juntarem ao grande novo amigo Juan Negret (Juanito), contribuíram de forma decisiva para minha reaproximação da leitura e para a manutenção de intenso debate crítico sobre nossas ações em solo acreano, impulso fundamental para a decisão de realizar esse trabalho, bem como para o seu delineamento. Não posso me esquecer nesse esforço crítico, dos acalorados debates com minha amiga Aninha Euler e meus amigos Moa e Renatinho (Magajanes), que também se juntavam freqüentemente às intermináveis conversas regadas a chopp às margens do Rio Acre; nem tampouco dos meus

Starting from the examination of some measures to protect riders recently promoted by the Tuscany Region, the paper reconstructs the phenomenon of inequalities in food delivery services, within which work, health and racial inequalities are traced. Through qualitative research based on the analysis of regional documents and on discursive interviews with the social partners, it is hypothesized that this set of inequalities constitutes a system on which digital platforms have founded their economic success.
