Celebrities have been accused of oversimplifying the conflict in Darfur, of exaggerating the number of people killed and of cursorily labelling it the ‘first genocide of the 21st century’. Celebrity activists have also been criticized for advocating drastic measures like military intervention, and for aggressively pursuing the fulfilment of arrest warrants by the International Criminal Court at the expense of quiet diplomacy and reconciliation, ultimately making matters worse. This article examines the role of two Hollywood celebrities—Mia Farrow and George Clooney—in Sudan’s ‘messy war’. It claims that most proponents and critics of celebrity activism overestimate the role that these two individuals played. Clooney and Farrow did not act alone but were latecomer adherents to a transnational advocacy network (the Save Darfur Coalition) and their role was more in strengthening than in altering messages.

The aim of this article is to show some results from an investigation about an issue that has not been much analyzed: the role played by the European socialdemocracy and its main transnational organization, the Socialist International (SI), during the transitional periods towards democracy in Latin America’s “third wave”.
At the same time, this issue is inscribed within a broader one, which has not been broadly discussed either: the transnational strategies of Latin American political parties during the years of dictatorships, revolutions and several authoritarian regimes.

RESUMEN: Este artículo se inscribe dentro de la tradición de estudios sobre la democratiza-ción en América Latina, poniendo énfasis en la acción de los políticos y los partidos en tanto acto-res trasnacionales, considerando que la interconexión entre los diferentes planos (local, nacional e internacional) fue uno de los principales recursos con los que contaban los políticos en los contex-tos de democratización y que mediante ellos generaron redes de relaciones personales trasnacio-nales como una estrategia determinante para la acumulación de poder, prestigio y otros recursos. Se abordará el caso de las misiones de la Internacional Socialista como ejemplo de una forma de acción política poco considerada por la literatura especializada, pero muy influyente en la época.

El objetivo de este capítulo es analizar la acción de dos intelectuales orgánicos, el escritor José Revueltas y el filósofo Eli de Gortari durante el movimiento estudiantil del 68 mexicano. Los intelectuales son actores políticos que trasmiten profesionalmente las ideas, y que por lo tanto tienen una función clave en la formación de la opinión pública y en la formación de las redes trasnacionales en un ámbito de Global Sixties.
Se analizará la acción de estos dos intelectuales desde la cárcel de Lecumberri y su capacidad intelectual de acuerdo a al contexto de los años 60 en América Latina y su militancia en grupos de la izquierda mexicana e internacional.

This presentation is the result of research already completed and which main outcome was a book. The research was conducted with the files of the International Institute of Social History, The Mario Soares Foundation and various files, such as Humberto Maiztegui´s in Montevideo. But what is interesting for me is how international and trasnational actors influenced these processes; precisely the issues that we address in this seminar.

The aim of this article is to show some results from an investigation about an issue that has not been much analyzed: the role played by the European socialdemocracy and its main transnational organization, the Socialist International (SI), during the transitional periods towards democracy in Latin America’s “third wave”.
