The Empire of the Wilderness

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In the vast wilderness of 18th-century North America, the Iroquois Confederacy stood as a beacon of power and resilience. Their influence spanned from the Atlantic coast to the Great Lakes, their warriors feared and respected by European colonists and Native American tribes alike. But as the French and British empires clashed for control of the continent, the Iroquois found themselves caught in a web of intrigue, manipulation, and warfare.

Idealism - Mind Over Matter in...

Hector Davidson

Idealism, as a philosophical doctrine, holds that the mind and its ideas are the primary reality, shaping the material world rather than being shaped by it. This perspective challenges the materialist viewpoint that places physical matter at the foundation of existence. From ancient Greek philosophy to modern quantum theories, idealism has provided a profound framework for understanding reality, perception, and consciousness. 
Throughout history, idealism has offered a lens through which thinkers could explore the mysteries of existence. Plato’s theory of forms, for instance, posited that the tangible world is a shadow of a higher, more real world of ideas. Similarly, German idealists such as Immanuel Kant, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel expanded on these concepts, arguing that human perception actively constructs reality. These ideas have not only shaped philosophy but have also influenced disciplines ranging from art to science. 
At its core, idealism raises fundamental questions about the nature of reality. Is the external world independent of our consciousness, or does it exist only as a construct of the mind? Idealism asserts that our understanding of the universe is intrinsically tied to our subjective experiences, emphasizing that thought and consciousness are the building blocks of reality. This contrasts sharply with materialism, which contends that physical matter exists independently and is the source of all mental phenomena.

My Further Disillusionment in...

Emma Goldman

Relive the tumult and bloodshed of the early Soviet years from the eyes of Emma Goldman.  
As a student of history, some of us wonder about anarchism and communism coexisting at the same time. Emma Goldman 
witnessed chaos and bloodshed from both. 
Emma Goldman (June 27, 1869 – May 14, 1940) was a Lithuanian-born anarchist revolutionary, political activist, and writer. She played a pivotal role in the development of anarchist political philosophy in North America and Europe in the first half of the 20th century. 
Born in Kaunas, Lithuania (then within the Russian Empire), to an Orthodox Lithuanian Jewish family, Goldman immigrated to the United States in 1885.[Attracted to anarchism after the Chicago Haymarket affair, Goldman became a writer and a renowned lecturer on anarchist philosophy, women's rights and social issues. 
Some years ago Emma Goldman was deported from the United States and went to Russia to investigate personally what she believed to be the nearest approach to a Utopia which the world had yet produced. 
Her experiences so thoroughly disillusioned her that she conceived it to be her duty to set forth these experiences and her conclusions, which she did in a book entitled “My Disillusionment in Russia.” The rights in this material she sold to an American newspaper syndicate from whom we purchased the book rights, and by whom we were furnished with the copy for the book. We published the book under date of October 26, 1923, and not until it was in circulation did we learn that it was minus the last twelve chapters which had never been turned over to us by the newspaper syndicate, nor had any intimation been given us that the copy turned over to us was incomplete. While the conclusion of the book as we published it was abrupt it was not{vi} more so than is frequently the case; and, therefore, there was no internal evidence to indicate its incompleteness.

Border Control - The Global...

Marcus Klein

Border control, at its core, is a delicate balance between maintaining national security and upholding human rights, between enforcing laws and fostering economic opportunities. As global mobility increases through migration, trade, and technology, managing borders has evolved into a complex issue that transcends national boundaries. It’s no longer just a matter of controlling who enters and exits a country; it’s about managing flows of people, goods, information, and even ideas in ways that protect citizens while also adhering to international law.
The importance of border control is particularly evident in the context of rising global challenges, such as terrorism, organized crime, and pandemics. These threats have pushed governments to implement stringent measures to secure their territories. However, such measures often come at the expense of migrants seeking refuge from war, poverty, and persecution. The political and humanitarian debates around immigration and border control have intensified in recent years, with many countries grappling with how to secure their borders without violating the rights of vulnerable populations.
Complicating this issue further is the reality of globalization. While the free flow of goods, services, and information has been the cornerstone of global trade and cooperation, it has also made it easier for individuals to move across borders—both legally and illegally. This has led to increased challenges for border agencies, who are now tasked with identifying and managing the movement of millions of people each year. Additionally, technological advancements, while offering new tools for surveillance and control, also raise concerns about privacy, data security, and the ethics of surveillance practices.

»We Are All Activists« -...

Lea Rzadtki

Who is meant when people talk about the citizens or the activists? Often, they are implied to mean the most privileged positionalities. Simultaneously, refugees and migrants tend to be seen through their (supposed) legal status. Thus, they are neither practically nor conceptually regarded as activists. The variety of intersecting positionings in migrant rights activism results in complex inequalities and power dynamics within activist groups. Solidarities are continually challenged, negotiated, and built. Lea Rzadtki develops a conceptual view on claims, challenges, and processes that activists experience and deal with. She moves beyond dichotomies and engages in transversal dialogue.
