In recent decades, the spread of digitalization has transformed the processes of political participation and citizen mobilization in diverse and unexpected ways. Contrary to what was initially expected, the consequences of the technologization of the political field have been very complex. The greatest innovations have taken place in the space of unconventional political participation, through a set of technologically mediated interventions full of light and shadows. This article offers a sample of some of the emerging digital political practices that have appeared in recent years. The objective is not to position oneself in a debate about diagnoses or moral evaluations but to map the digital tools for political participation without falling into a techno-deterministic, conciliatory or celebratory perspective. Rather, it aims to analyze different intervention models, both successful and unsuccessful, placing them in their historical context and assessing their strengths and weaknesses. ; En las últimas décadas, la difusión de la digitalización ha transformado los procesos de participación política y movilización ciudadana de formas diversas e inesperadas. Frente a lo esperado inicialmente, las consecuencias de la tecnologización del campo político han sido muy complejas. Las mayores innovaciones han tenido lugar en el espacio de la participación política no convencional, a través de un conjunto de intervenciones mediadas tecnológicamente llenas de claroscuros. Este artículo ofrece una muestra de algunas de las prácticas políticas digitales emergentes que han aparecido en los últimos años. El objetivo no es posicionarse en un debate sobre diagnósticos o valoraciones morales sino cartografiar las herramientas digitales para la participación política sin caer en una perspectiva tecnodeterminista, conciliadora o celebratoria. Más bien aspira a analizar distintos modelos de intervención, tanto los exitosos como los fracasados, ubicándolos en su contexto histórico y evaluando sus fortalezas y debilidades.

La terra dei figli is a graphic-novel which consciously encounters post-apocalyptic fiction. Gipi offers his readers a narration of the world written beyond the end of the world and engages in a type of story that is among the most popular of recent times: post-apocalyptic fiction, which is perhaps the most suitable literary and cinematographic genre to entertain a "political" dialogue with his audience. The author works with the typical tools of comics and yet engages with archetypes that no longer belong only to the apocalyptic fiction, but to the fairy tale and the coming-of-age novel. ; La terra dei figli è un graphic-novel che incontra consapevolmente la finzione post-apocalittica: Gipi propone ai suoi lettori un racconto del mondo vergato oltre la fine del mondo, inserendosi in un ambito fra i più popolari degli ultimi decenni ‒ forse il genere letterario e cinematografico con la più spiccata tendenza a intrattenere con il pubblico un discorso "politico". L'autore lo fa in modo originale, con gli strumenti tipici del fumetto, confrontandosi tuttavia con archetipi che non appartengono più solo alla finzione apocalittica, ma alla fiaba e al racconto di formazione.

Se estudiarán sucesos políticos y militares de principios del siglo VII, la ocupación persa de la Tierra de Israel y de Egipto que dieron lugar a la redacción, por parte tanto de judíos como de cristianos, a una serie de textos apocalípticos cuya circulación propició el desarrollo de una nueva instancia de la polémica Adversus Judaeos. Este componente –de respuesta cristiana a una apocalíptica judía- puede permitirnos, creemos, establecer un nuevo contexto para la dicha polémica. ; We will study political and military events of the early seventh century, the persian occupation of the land of Israel and Egypt that led to the writing, by jews and christians, to a series of apocalyptic texts whose circulation led to the development of a new instance of the controversy Adversus Judaeos.

This paper examines the concept of symbiosis in Islamic history as developed by Schlomo Dov Goitein, the 20th-century Jewish German scholar in the area of Jewish and Arabic studies, and discusses its application to the identity sourcing of Prophet Muhammad in particular. The aim of the study is to review the historical outline briefly on the background and formation of "symbiosis" preceding and in the aftermath of Goitein's conceptualization and context, following a qualitative research approach with an intertextual criticism to his references and discussing their possible philological aspects in his mindset. The study found that, while the Islamic historical sources presented the relations between Jews and Muslims in the Madina period of Islam as negative, in Goitein's works, the Jewish perception of early Islamic history is positively grounded on a mid-eight century Jewish messianic-apocalyptical text, namely, The Secrets of Rabbi Simon ben Yohai as traditionally understood in Judaism for describing Ishmaelites as the savior of Jews from Christian oppression. This finding seems to be in explicit contradistinction to the concept of innovative "creative symbiosis" with subversion of historical experience.

The existence of a political authority is such a customary part of our daily lives that often we are able to ignore and even forget it. However, only when we imagine its absence from our lives via post-apocalyptic fiction, we realize the importance of a democratically chosen and built governance over what would have been an authoritarian rule. Similarly, Ling Ma's first novel Severance with the eerie similarity of its events to the Coronavirus pandemic, is one of those works that shows us the unadulterated social and political chaos emerging from the lack of a central government or authority, through the story of nine survivors of a globally destructive disease. Moreover, since the emergence of an authoritarian rule during times of crisis is one of the key elements found in Severance, this paper aims to examine and analyze the ways in which the power of the leader turns into an authoritarian control during a global pandemic that resulted in the annihilation of almost all humanity.

Una vez que el Estado argentino conquistó la Patagonia, no tardó en surgir un discurso anti-centralista originado en las penurias que experimentaban los habitantes de estosterritorios australes, a quienesles era negada, además, la plena ciudadanía. Respecto del centro dominante ubicado en la ciudad-puerto de Buenos Aires, la Patagonia se vio a sí misma como un enclave insular, como una colonia interna, continuamente expoliada y eternamente postergada. En este contexto,surgieron narrativas que pretendieron a la vez cuestionar y superar esta relación de dominio. Por un lado, elsueño de la secesión (salida utópica de corte libertarista), expresado minuciosamente en el cuento "Cuando Argentina perdió la Patagonia", de Salvador San Martín, publicado en 1984. Por otro, la idea de que la propia dinámica del enclave hidrocarburífero, integrado a un mercado capitalista mundialsin regulaciones, acabaría devastando y fragmentando el territorio, en una suerte de pesadilla post-apocalíptica (salida distópica),signada por el agotamiento de los recursos naturales y la extinción de las identidades regionales, que se observa en la previsión tecnocrática escrita por Ramón Martínez Guarino. ; Once the Argentinian State conquered Patagonia, it was not long before there emerged an anti-centralist discourse born out of the plight that were suffering the inhabitants of these Southern territories to whom, moreover, full citizenship was denied. With regard to the dominant center located in the harbor-city of Buenos Aires, Patagonia came to see itself as an isolated enclave, like an internal colony, continuously exploited and eternally left behind. This wasthe context for the rise ofsome narrativesthat aimed both at criticizing and overcoming Buenos Aires's dominant power. On the one hand, the dream of secession (a utopian way out with libertarian content), meticulously expressed in Salvador San Martín's story "When Patagonia was lost for Argentina", published in 1984. On the other hand, the idea that the development of the gas and oil industries, connected to an unregulated capitalist world market, would end up devastating and breaking apart this territory, in a kind of apocalyptic nightmare (the dystopic way out), marked by the depletion of natural resources and the extinction of regional identities, as it is presented in the technocratic anticipation written by Ramón Martínez Guarino. ; Fil: Lizárraga, Fernando Alberto.

ZusammenfassungDer Niedergang des Abendlandes und der eigenen Nation ist (auch historisch) innerhalb des Rechtsextremismus und der Neuen Rechten ein zentrales Narrativ des Kulturpessimismus. Durch Dynamiken der liberalen Moderne geht eine als stabil angenommene Identität Deutschlands bzw. Europas verloren. Vom Niedergang einer christlichen Identität Europas bzw. vom Tod des deutschen Volkes handeln die in dieser Untersuchung analysierten Beiträge aus dem Kontext der Neuen Rechten. Hierbei werden apokalyptische Deutungen aufgegriffen, die das Ende des Christentums u. a. mit der "Islamisierung" begründen. Neben der wissenssoziologisch-rekonstruktiven Analyse dieser apokalyptischen Deutungen legt der Beitrag jedoch einen weitergehenden Fokus: So wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwiefern sich antisemitische Motive in diesen apokalyptischen Deutungen wiederfinden. Zunächst werden Grundformen der modernen Apokalyptik dargestellt und in Bezug auf unterschiedliche antisemitismustheoretische Aspekte gesetzt. Die Analyse der hier angeführten Texte legt unterschiedliche apokalyptische Geschichtsdeutungen offen: So zeigen sich sowohl Formen einer inversen Apokalypse, durch die ein zukünftiger Heilszustand in eine erstrebenswerte Vergangenheit verlegt wird, als auch christlich-eschatologische Hoffnungen auf das Eingreifen Gottes in die Geschichte. Trotz dieser unterschiedlicher apokalyptischer Deutungsmuster unterscheiden sich die drei Texte jedoch nicht in ihrer Affinität zu antisemitisch geprägten Semantiken und ebenso antisemitisch grundierten Verschwörungsnarrativen.
