Scott porém não vai longe o bastante. Vai longe demais em sublinhar a dependência de ideologias de resistência de conteúdo recuperado de ideologias de dominação, e em seguida negligencia o inverso. Por definição, temos tornado a transcrição pública da dominação ontologicamente anterior à transcrição oculta, invisível à plateia. O resultado de assim fazermos é enfatizar…

Download: Destroying the Master’s House With the Master’s Tools: Some Notes on the Libertarian Theory of Ideology Scott does not go far enough, however. He goes too far in stressing the dependence of ideologies of resistance on recuperated content from ideologies of domination, and then neglects the reverse. By definition, we have made the public transcript of domination ontologically…

Recuando de novo e assumindo visão mais panorâmica, a questão religiosa é parte de fenômeno ainda mais amplo: a recuperação dos símbolos e valores da ideologia legitimizadora da classe dominante, e a inversão da ideologia dominante como arma contra o sistema de poder existente. Quando uma classe dominante cria uma ideologia legitimadora, ela, nessa medida…

Download: Destroying the Master’s House With the Master’s Tools: Some Notes on the Libertarian Theory of Ideology Stepping back again and taking a more panoramic view, the religious case is part of an even larger phenomenon: the recuperation of the symbols and values of the ruling class’s legitimizing ideology, and the inversion of the dominant ideology as a weapon against…

Este paper considera, mais especificamente, a ideologia liberatória ou não estatal como arma contra o poder e a exploração. Como descrito por Scott, a religião zomiana frequentemente abebera-se do mesmo repositório de mitos e de temas culturais que a religião dominante em espaços estatais. Ela, porém, os retoma — em clássico exemplo de “usar as…

Download: Destroying the Master’s House With the Master’s Tools: Some Notes on the Libertarian Theory of Ideology This paper considers, more specifically, liberatory or nonstate ideology as a weapon against power and exploitation. As described by Scott, Zomian religion frequently borrows from the same pool of myths and cultural themes as the dominant religion in state spaces. But it…

About 10 years ago, back in the days when I worked for Republican politicians battling Democratic Presidents, constant harassment by the Internal Revenue Service caused me to snap my twig and just stop paying taxes altogether. I won’t go into the tedious details, but I will note that I announced my decision to the I.R.S….

A Comunidade Islandesa, assentada desproporcionadamente por pequenos detentores em fuga de crescentes imposições do rei e da nobreza, era uma população zomiana com a qual muitos libertários estão familiarizados. Os assentamentos islandeses descritos nas Sagas tiveram lugar numa época na qual reis da Escandinávia continental “estavam aumentando sua autoridade a expensas dos direitos tradicionais dos…

Download: Destroying the Master’s House With the Master’s Tools: Some Notes on the Libertarian Theory of Ideology [PDF] The Icelandic Commonwealth, settled disproportionately by small holders fleeing the growing impositions of the king and nobility, was a Zomian population many libertarians are familiar with. The Icelandic settlements recounted in the Sagas took place at a time when kings on the Scandinavian mainland “were…

Há algum tempo vem sendo consenso entre historiadores do Israel primevo que a completa conquista de Canaã e os resultantes domínios tribais descritos no Livro de Josué foi anacrônica — uma projeção no passado de um estado de coisas geográfico que só existiu depois que a monarquia havia derrotado os filisteus e a população israelita…

Download: Destroying the Master’s House With the Master’s Tools: Some Notes on the Libertarian Theory of Ideology For some time it has been the consensus among historians of early Israel that the thoroughgoing conquest of Canaan and resulting tribal domains described in the Book Joshua was anachronistic—a projection onto the past of a geographical state of affairs that existed…

A trailer for the sequel to last year’s low-budget dystopian thriller, “The Purge,” was released on Thursday,  February 13, to fanfare about as modest as for the first film. If this trailer is any indication, the plot for “The Purge 2: Anarchy” looks almost note-for-note the same as its predecessor. The setting for both films…

Comumente olhamos para uma ideologia da perspectiva da classe dominante, como ferramenta de legitimação. A ideologia, entanto, serve igualmente aos propósitos dos dominados — como guia para ação no interesse de sua classe. As ideologias respectivamente dos dominantes e dos dominados tendem a ser interdependentes. A ideologia oficial legitimadora de uma classe dominante apela para…

Download: Destroying the Master’s House With the Master’s Tools: Some Notes on the Libertarian Theory of Ideology [PDF] We commonly look at ideology from the perspective of the ruling class, as a legitimizing tool. But ideology serves the purposes of the ruled, as well—as a guide to action in their class interest. The respective ideologies of rulers and…

It was Thomas Hobbes, in his book Leviathan, that declared without a state man is in a constant climate of struggle and fight. He called this the “state of nature” whereby it is a “war of all against all”. He makes a compelling argument for the coming together of all peoples, and the creation of…

The following article, “Cómo el Go se convirtió en el juego favorito de anarquistas y libertarios,” was written by David de Ugarte and published on El Correo de las Indias, January 17, 2014. When the British Go Association proposed to fund a strategy to promote the game and commissioned a study on its image, the result was surprising [PDF]:…

In an interview with Fox News curmudgeon Bill O’Reilly, US president Barack Obama insists that the Internal Revenue Service’s “flagging” and harassment of Tea Party and other dissident political groups was the result of “boneheaded decisions” but “not even a smidgen of corruption.” While the American political right is having a good guffaw about that,…
