The 1994 Zapatista rebellion in Chiapas, Mexico, illustrates "glocal" resistance to the neoliberal world order. While rooted in indigenous communities, the rebellion is best understood not in terms of essentialist identities but rather as an ongoing process of creating new social practices in resistance to domination. The sustainability of the movement depends not on the overthrow of the state, but on the effort to continually transform society. Four important contributions emerge from the experiences of the autonomous communities and municipalities in Zapatista-influenced territory: (1) The reframing of the concept of power. (2) The construction of new social subjectivities. (3) A redefinition of the concept of autonomy. (4) Radical democracy.

Since Morales's election, rural movements have become the new protagonists of Bolivian politics. Previous analyses have emphasised their active role in shaping national politics, often focusing on those organisations as a compact block. However, their relationship is marked by both cooperation and fragmentation. This article provides a narrative of Bolivian socio‐political history over the last 60 years, establishing four main phases of identitarian articulations/disarticulations. It demonstrates the high degree of interdependence and fluidity of ethnic and class identities, as well as their interconnections with the broader socio‐political context and the national legal and institutional changes.

Women in Ireland came into focus and onto the political stage during and as a result of nationalist and socialist movements that began in the mid-1700s and continued through the 1920s. Women like Anna Parnell, Constance Markievicz, and Hannah Sheehy-Skeffington participated in the land wars, struggles for independence from Britain and the suffragist movement. Indigenous silent feature filmmaking in Ireland was born out of this critical period of political and social change. From 1916 to 1935, Irish filmmakers produced over forty silent feature films only six of which have survived. A close study of these films, fragments of three others, and contemporary film reviews and archival synopses of the non-surviving films reveals how early Irish silent films tackled nationalist issues, but did little to represent the active participation of women. Women in these films are passive sisters, lovers, and mothers, impacted by rather than impacting historical events. This is not surprising. Irish silent cinema was a male-dominated industry with a nationalist agenda that perpetuated gender stereotypes. This study links nationalism and women in Irish silent cinema by looking at how female representation in these early films reflected a gendered ideology that existed in Irish culture alongside other narratives of the nation.

La reivindicación del presupuesto directo recorre las geografías indígenas en Michoacán, en particular, en la llamada Meseta P'urhépecha, constituyéndose en la principal bandera del movimiento indígena contemporáneo en el estado. Cerca de una docena de comunidades han interpuesto ante las instancias judiciales esta demanda, por lo menos, seis de ellas ya ejercen este derecho; otras están a la espera de las sentencias. Existen otras comunidades que también administran estos recursos, pero que no acudieron a la vía de jure. Consideramos importante exponer: ¿cómo surge esta demanda dentro del movimiento indígena estatal?, ¿cuáles fueron las motivaciones específicas de las comunidades?, ¿qué desafíos han enfrentado?, ¿cuáles han sido las implicaciones de este ejercicio en su vida comunitaria? y ¿qué paradojas ha traído consigo la judicialización de estos derechos?

Examines attempts to create new sovereignties in the South Pacific by developing offshore financial centers (OFCs) through secession. A prime example was the partnership between NV multimillionaire Michael C. Oliver (alias Moses Olitsky) & an indigenous New Hebrides movement, which attempted to make the New Hebrides (later Vanuatu) a libertarian tax haven utopia. Oliver also tried to build a sea city on the Minerva Reefs, 350 kilometers southwest of Tonga's capital. Questions about the nature of national sovereignty raised by claims over artificially created areas developed by private individuals/companies that do not profess allegiance to another international jurisdiction are discussed. When the Minerva project failed, Oliver targeted Abaco, in the Bahamas, which brought him into conflict with the US Senate & the CIA, & sent him back to the Pacific, particularly the uninhabited islets known as the Palmyra Atoll. An exploration of Oliver's later ventures includes establishment of the secessionist Republic of Vemarana during the independence of Vanuatu in 1980. The impact of Oliver's legacy on today's OFCs is discussed. J. Lindroth
