En esta investigación se rastrea la distinción entre la política y lo social en dos obras de Hannah Arendt: La condición humana y Sobre la revolución. Este rastreo muestra la relevancia de distinguir la política de lo social para salvaguardar la existencia de la política. Así mismo, a partir del reconocimiento arendtiano del rol político de los laborantes en las revoluciones, se sugiere que la política y lo social tienen un punto de contacto. El modo en que se argumenta esto es interpretar tal rol como un proceso de subjetivación o singularización política. Palabras clave Política, social, labor, trabajo, acción, mundo común, subjetivación ; Abstract: This researh is about a arendtian distinction between the politics and the social. I explore this distinction in The Human Condition and On Revolution. This researh show the importance of the distinction: safeguard the existence of the politics from the invasion's social. Likewise, Arendt admit the political role of the laborers at the revolutions. From this recognition I suggest there is a point of contact between the politics and the social. The way to I argue this is to think about the role like a process of politicial subjectivation or singularization.

"This book is a reconstruction of the philosophical and legal theories of Fray Francisco de Vitoria, one of the primary founders of international law, and how these served to introduce the theory of an international community in which all nations take part, regardless of religious beliefs"

"TRAFFICKING surveys the public culture that has arisen around criminal drug violence in Mexico and the U.S. over the past few decades. Drawing on an extensive cultural archive, Hector Amaya shows how the violence of drug trafficking becomes visible and audible through media and communication technologies - including newspapers, television, music, blogs, and other forms of public engagement - and how those technologies reflect the temporal and spatial displacements that characterize the transnational drug trade. Drug violence is both a site of public debate about the role of the state in maintaining democratic order, and a site of publicity, where that violence is mediated, commercialized, and used to reinforce racial and colonial orders. By considering the "narcoculture" that surrounds this violence, Amaya seeks to highlight the ways that publicity has underpinned forms of state violence, often in the name of democracy. The book begins with a chapter on the Mexican government's 2006-2007 war on drug criminal organizations and the centrality of publicity efforts-both on the part of the government and by the cartels-to how this war was waged and how the media covered it. Amaya then turns to the popularity of narcocorridos, songs or ballads that narrate drug trafficking and violence, as a mode of criticizing the state. He shows how digital recording and distribution have altered the circulation and censorship of narcoculture, offering a space for a political counterdiscourse that travels across borders. The last two chapters focus on the role of citizen journalism in bringing to light the violent realities of the drug trade, and particularly how blogs (often anonymously written) and other online news media have transformed public discourse about who gets to tell the story of drug violence and how audiences consume and respond to those stories. Amaya focuses on one controversial and highly trafficked blog, El Blog del Narco, to consider how the author's reporting gets framed as a heroic form of public duty, but also how authorial anonymity usefully challenges conventional notions of civic discourse and public trust. This timely book will be appeal to scholars in media studies, communications, cultural studies, and Latinx studies, as well as to readers interested in the role drug violence plays in U.S. and Mexican politics and culture".

"Drawing on the Athenian tradition of 'wielding citizenship as a weapon to defend a contingently defined polis,' Hector Amaya has crafted an elegant and sophisticated analysis of the contemporary policies designed to contain and criminalize Latina/os. Citizenship Excess demonstrates that he is one of the leading Latina/o Media Scholars today." —Angharad N. Valdivia, General Editor of the International Encyclopedia of Media Studies and author of Latina/os Drawing on contemporary conflicts between Latino/as and anti-immigrant forces, Citizenship Excess illustrates the limitations of liberalism as expressed through U.S. media channels. Inspired by Latin American critical scholarship on the "coloniality of power," Amaya demonstrates that nativists use the privileges associated with citizenship to accumulate power. That power is deployed to aggressively shape politics, culture, and the law, effectively undermining Latino/as who are marked by the ethno-racial and linguistic difference that nativists love to hate. Yet these social characteristics present crucial challenges to the political, legal, and cultural practices that define citizenship. Amaya examines the role of ethnicity and language in shaping the mediated public sphere through cases ranging from the participation of Latino/as in the Iraqi war and pro-immigration reform marches to labor laws restricting Latino/a participation in English-language media and news coverage of undocumented immigrant detention centers. Citizenship Excess demonstrates that the evolution of the idea of citizenship in the United States and the political and cultural practices that define it are intricately intertwined with nativism.

Abstract
The concept of agency has long been a focal point of research in the social sciences. While traditional discussions primarily centered on human agency, recent scholarship has increasingly turned its attention to agency beyond the human realm. This paper introduces a framework for comprehending the agency of spiritual beings within complex pluriversal sociopolitical systems. It contends that exploring the agency of spiritual beings challenges established binary distinctions and acknowledges their inherent complexities. Drawing from a relational understanding of animacy, this framework reveals that the agency of spiritual beings cannot be simply equated with gods or fixed other-than-human agencies. Instead, it enriches our understanding of agency by highlighting how diverse agencies shape and influence social interactions. The paper compares Jane Bennett's "thing power" and social assemblages to the Andean concepts of camaq (creating animating force) and Ajayu (spirit). By doing so, it uncovers both tensions and connections between these approaches, underscoring the need for pluriversal methodologies in analyzing pluriversal societies. In conclusion, the paper reflects on the implications of re-enchantment through animacy and its potential to provide fresh insights into understanding international phenomena.

This paper seeks to show some notes of approximation to the political dimension of the deleuzian concept of "ritornelo", therefore, the analysis presented does not have conclusive character, since it aims to demonstrate an implicit problem: the expression of the political dimension of the ritornelo in its relation with the body. In our point of view, that relation would show the act of resistance as a political alternative. For that, on the first part of our work, we will point out some characteristics of the ritornelo that, in our opinion, are essential for understanding its political dimension. On the second part, we present some notes that allow us to make an approach to the ritornelo's political dimension, and the way it is related to the creation of the Body without Organs, problematizing said relation and showing how it is articulated from the resistance as a political alternative. This route will allow us to demonstrate in the conclusion part of this work, that there is a relation between the ritornelo and the Body without Organs, and that it is only because of its manifestation in the body that its political dimension can be expressed. ; El presente artículo presenta una serie de apuntes que buscan una aproximación a la dimensión política del concepto de ritornelo en Deleuze, por ello, no posee un carácter concluyente sino que su única pretensión es mostrar una problemática implícita, nos parece, en el ritornelo y su dimensión política, es decir, la expresión de la dimensión política en la relación del ritornelo con el cuerpo, dicha relación, nos mostraría al acto de resistencia como una alternativa política. Para ello; en el primer apartado se revisan algunas características del ritornelo que, a nuestro criterio, son imprescindibles para comprender su dimensión política. En el segundo apartado presentamos una serie de apuntes que permiten aproximarnos a su dimensión política y al modo como ésta se relaciona con la creación de un Cuerpo sin Órganos problematizando dicha relación y mostrando que ésta se ...
