The president of the Spanish Society of Philosophy, María José Guerra Palmero, will deliver on Monday, May 20, a talk entitled "Diasporas, expulsions and stigmas: the pariahs of the 21st century", within the activities of the Mucho Más Mayo festival, organized by the City of Cartagena.
The event is part of the collaboration of Cartagena Piensa with the festival and will be held at 7.30 pm.
at the Pedreño Palace of the Cajamurcia Foundation of Cartagena, with free admission until full capacity is reached.
The first decades of the 21st century have overshadowed the cosmopolitan ideal and have shown how the optimism of globalization, with which we began the millennium, has been left in a state of flux.
Refugee crises have become endemic and systemic and turn their protagonists into pariahs.
It is pertinent, then, to return to the work of Hannah Arendt and its repercussion at present, especially in the last publications of Seyla Benhabib, to rethink the bankruptcy of guarantees and the decline of human rights.
The new world disorder strives to stir up nationalist bad passions and endorses intolerance, exclusions and violence.
How to counteract the tsunami of xenophobia and aporophobia in which we are living?
It seems urgent to react against the advance of authoritarianism and its ruse to turn migrants and refugees into scapegoats.
Two social movements and their political theories, environmentalism and feminism, have much to contribute in this regard.
Clarifying your concerted agenda to ensure that there is a (post) human future is one of my objectives.
