“…These regimes are unlikely to resolve the contradictions of democracy under capitalism for their responsiveness to the priorities of the core prevents pursuit of a social reformist agenda and exacerbates inequality and social problems, thereby maintaining the country in a state of instability and crisis. It is this second variant that corresponds to what Gills et al (1993) refer to as 'low-intensity democracy', which corresponds with Robinson's notion of 'polyarchy' discussed below. Beyond these forms of government states elsewhere in the periphery may be marked by the brutal 'kleptocracies' of the fourth world, communal 'ethnic' politics, or religious fundamentalism, often after earlier secular political movements and channels of dissent have been suppressed.…”

The Democratic Peace research programme explicitly and implicitly presents its claims in terms of their potential to underpin a universal world peace. Yet whilst the Democratic Peace appears robust in its geographical heartlands it appears weaker at the edges of the democratic world, where the spread of democracy and the depth of democratic political development is often limited and where historically many of the purported exceptions to the Democratic Peace are found. Whereas Democratic Peace scholarship has tended to overlook or downplay these phenomena, from a critical materialist perspective they are indicative of a fundamental contradiction within the Democratic Peace whereby its universalistic aspirations are thwarted by its material grounding in a hierarchical capitalist world economy. This, in turn, raises the question of whether liberal arguments for a universal Democratic Peace are in fact hollow promises. The article explores these concerns and argues that those interested in democracy and peace should pay more attention to the critical materialist tradition, which in the discussion below is represented principally by the world-system approach.

“…Seul, vitrine das virtudes do capitalismo, não devia continuar indefinidamente sob um governo ditatorial. Desde a ótica norte-americana dos estertores da Guerra Fria, era preciso festejar as Olimpíadas de Seul sob o mínimo de pluralismo político, garantindo-se que o "Milagre do Han" não fosse eclipsado por noticiários sobre práticas de tortura ou dando voz a presos políticos (Gills & Rocamora, 1992 (1948)(1949)(1950)(1951)(1952)(1953)(1954)(1955)(1956)(1957)(1958)(1959)(1960). No entanto, sua vitória não sinaliza nenhuma substancial alternância de poder.…”

ResumoDescreveremos e contextualizaremos o processo de decadência e renovação do entorno do Córrego Cheong-Gye, em Seul, Coreia do Sul. Explicaremos que, no passado, o córrego foi degradado por severa poluição e, mais tarde, tamponado por uma estrutura de concreto. Mais adiante, ergueu-se sobre essa cobertura uma via elevada. A paisagem resultante, uma estrada suspensa ladeada por vielas apinhadas de lojas populares, era a face do centro da capital sul-coreana até a virada do milênio. Por fatores de ordem política e econômica que discutiremos, decidiu-se descobrir o córrego e restaurar completamente o seu sistema hídrico. Com o projeto, buscou-se restabelecer o fluxo de pedestres para a região central, resgatando o contato dos habitantes com o veio d'água, mas também abrir novas possibilidades econômicas para a área, com a reconstrução e reocupação de todo o seu entorno. As principais intervenções urbanísticas contidas nesse projeto serão aqui nomeadas, bem como as motivações políticas subjacentes. Palavras-chave:

Cet article s’intéresse à la construction contingente de subjectivations politiques situées à l’intersection de diverses formes de domination ainsi que de diverses pratiques sociales émancipatrices. Cherchant à dépasser une aporie constitutive du champ de l’intersectionnalité oscillant entre sujet et structure, le texte cherche à aborder des positions de sujet généralement « invisibilisées », sans les « déduire » directement des structures de la domination, mais aussi sans les individualiser ou les diluer dans un cumul désordonné de particularismes. En se basant sur un corpus de récits d’actions directes spontanées ayant eu lieu en Amérique latine au cours des deux dernières décennies, l’article cherche à montrer comment ces actions contestataires transgressives sont porteuses de subjectivations politiques intersectionnelles transversales permettant la convergence stratégique de positions divergentes ainsi que l’expression publique de positions invisibles et inaudibles jusqu’alors. L’analyse de ces positions permet non seulement de mieux comprendre les actions collectives et les motivations de leurs participants, mais également d’entreprendre, à partir de cette perspective épistémologique de la marge, une analyse intersectionnelle des structures de la domination.
