  Sedition and revolt in modern european political thought

  We wish to bring together international contributors once more in a discussion of the political thought brought about by various uprisings between the end of the Middle Ages and the modern era, whether it be reflections over a particular event, or more general considerations over the causes of sedition and protest movements, the means to prevent or suppress new episodes, and their adverse – or regenerative – effects. This analysis will focus on political writings composed for government use or for a wider audience – memoirs and reports, as well as treatises on the statecraft that proliferated throughout Europe in the modern era and saw wide acceptance. There is a tendency in the current literature to make use of historical examples that are distant in time and place, and a need to consider the possible repercussions of theoretical reflection from experience drawn from recent or contemporary revolts.

  500 years of Utopia - readings of Thomas Moore

  Quinientos años después de la primera edición del libro de Tomás Moro (Libro del estado ideal de una república en la nueva isla de Utopía, 1516), el término Utopía y el género al que dio lugar siguen entre nosotros, reflejando las esperanzas y las contradicciones de la modernidad. Es un buen momento para revisar colectivamente la recepción y el impacto que ha tenido en todos los ámbitos la obra cumbre de Moro: para reflexionar y debatir sobre la utopía de entonces, la utopía de ahora y la utopía futura. Convocamos para ello un congreso que pretendemos que sea trasnacional y trasdisciplinar, en el que examinemos las lecturas que ha tenido la Utopía de Moro a través de la interrelación de diferentes saberes.
