Throughout 2013 Antonio Guterres, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, seemed to be running out of ways to sound the alarm and describe the magnitude of the Syrian refugee crisis. 'Syria as a civilization is unraveling,' he declared in early June. Later that month he stated that it was the worst catastrophe since the end of the Cold War. The numbers bear out his claims. By the end of 2013 there were over 2 million registered refugees, several million others internally displaced, and estimates of 10 million in desperate need of food and shelter, out of a total population of around 23 million. An estimated 100,000 have been killed by the fighting and many more wounded and disappeared. As many or more Syrians are dying of chronic diseases due to their inability to access medicine and treatment amid the devastation of the country's economic and health infrastructure. This prompted the UN to declare Syria a Level 3 emergency, the highest level emergency in the UN system and a top priority for funding and personnel. Adapted from the source document.

Quiero explorar básicamente los textos de Chantal Mouffe por los aportes a nuestra discusión. Dos líneas de trabajo se destacan en su producción como filósofa y feminista: el desarrollo de la propuesta junto con Ernesto Laclau formula en Hegemonía y estrategia socialista (1985) y la de una teoría de la democracia radical y pluralista que sirven de marco a sus discusiones y aportes al feminismo. En estas notas procuro puntualizar sus planteamientos alrededor de los temas de identidad y ciudadanía en su concepción de una democracia radical y pluralista. ; I want to basically explore the texts of Chantal Mouffe for the contributions to our discussion. Two lines of work stand out in her production as a philosopher and feminist: the development of the proposal together with Ernesto Laclau formulates in Hegemony and Socialist Strategy (1985) and that of a theory of radical and pluralist democracy that serve as a framework for their discussions and contributions to feminism. In these notes she tries to clarify her approach to identity and citizenship issues in her conception of a radical and pluralist democracy.
