M. N. Roy and the Frankfurt School: Socialist Humanism and the Critical Analysis of Communication, Culture, Technology, Fascism and Nationalism

Manabendra Nath Roy (1887-1954) was the founder of the Communist Parties of Mexico and India and a socialist-humanist philosopher. In the Western world, his works are today widely ignored and forgotten. This article introduces some philosophical aspects of Roy’s thought. It engages with foundations of his theory and shows its relevance for the study of communication, culture, technology, the human being, fascism, and nationalism. Frankfurt School thinkers such as Theodor W. Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Herbert Marcuse, and Erich Fromm were interested in similar topics to Roy. This article also compares the approach of Roy and the Frankfurt School. It shows parallels between Roy and the first generation of the Frankfurt School with respect to themes such as the dialectic of technology and society, the dialectic of the Enlightenment, fascism, nationalism, and authoritarianism. In the age of new nationalisms and authoritarian capitalism, global environmental crises, capitalist crisis, and the digital crisis, socialist-humanist theories such as M. N. Roy’s can inspire struggles for a humanist and socialist society as antidotes to the acceleration and deepening of the three crises

Beauty Culture in Post-Reform Vietnam: Glocalization or Homogenization?

This essay re-examines the global beauty culture and ideals as established by the West and continually re-imagined worldwide through three primary lenses of race, gender, and political economy. Based on this understanding, it then delves into how the beauty culture in Vietnam has been shaped and transformed since the country conducted economic reforms in 1986 and has become more integrated into the global economy today

American Medical and Intellectual Reaction to African Health Issues, 1850-1960: From Racialism to Cross-Cultural Medicine

During recent decades, social scientists, particularly anthropologists, sociologists and medical historians, have looked increasingly at how social and cultural factors inform a society\u27s medical community and vice-versa. As Roger Cooter recently stated, ... medicine is a social phenomenon capable of being properly studied only when treated as a part of its social, political, economic and cultural totality. [1] In America, a steady flow of medical sociologists -- most notably Henry E. Sigerist in the 1940s, Talcott Parsons in the 1950s, David Mechanic in the 1960s and 1970s, and Vern and Bonnie Bullough in the 1980s -- contributed numerous empirical studies that revealed that the development of American medicine was shaped moreso by its social and cultural context than clinical discoveries.[2] These studies have demonstrated conclusively that the American health profession\u27s approaches to disease (etiology and therapy), the institutional structure of medical research and care, and public health care policy all have been deeply influenced by socioeconomic and cultural factors specific to historical epochs of evolving American society

HCMC: Reflejando el centro, invirtiendo la lógica contemporánea

Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), the largest agglomeration in Vietnam, is a multitude of cities and where spatial development is inherently intertwined with a continuously transforming water structure. HCMC is a relatively young city—the foundational citadel dates from the end 18th century—that nevertheless was always complex. Its original dichotomic nature, with Chinese Chợ Lớn and Vietnamese Sài Gòn, forcefully colonized and domesticated a quagmire. It eventually became colonized itself by France (formalized by the Indochina federation 1887-1954). The agglomeration subsequently underwent strong growth and transformation during the American War (1955-75), to explode even more after the (re)opening up to the market in 1986 (Đổi Mới: the change to the new). Shock and wave development (and significant disruption), hand-in-hand with forceful public intervention and laissez-faire dynamics, led to odd bedfellows—a partially planned and spontaneous urban environment, iterating between conscious design decisions anchored on territorial characteristics (predominantly defined by water structures) and generic additions regardless of the terrain, between structuring and undirected fabrics. Amidst another wave of rampant growth and expansion, the city plans to double its center eastwards across the Sài Gòn River in the water-sick districts 2, 9 and Thu Duc. This offers the occasion to boldly rethink the formation of the contemporary tropical deltaic metropolis. The article will plead for an alternative for the future development of HCMC through the elaboration of a project for the twin center of Sài Gòn, foreseen in an interfluvial land that is systematically permeated by canals, river branches, ditches, etc. The plan recognizes that the water system defines the base spatial register of the territory and intelligently anchors urban development on this register.Ciudad Ho Chi Minh (HCMC), la mayor aglomeración de Vietnam, es una multitud de ciudades y es donde el desarrollo espacial está intrínsecamente entrelazado con una estructura de agua en continua transformación. HCMC es una ciudad relativamente joven —la ciudadela fundacional data de finales del siglo XVIII— que, sin embargo, siempre fue compleja. Su naturaleza dicotómica original, con Chợ Lớn (China) y Sài Gòn (Vietnam), colonizó y domesticó con fuerza una ciénaga. Finalmente, fue colonizada por Francia (formalizada por la federación de Indochina 1887-1954). Posteriormente, la aglomeración experimentó un fuerte crecimiento y transformación durante la Guerra de Estados Unidos (1955-75), para explotar aún más incluso después de la (re) apertura al mercado en 1986 (Đổi Mới: el cambio a lo nuevo). El desarrollo de olas y choques (y perturbaciones significativas), de la mano de una enérgica intervención pública y una dinámica de laissez-faire, dio lugar a una extraña combinación: un entorno urbano parcialmente planificado y espontáneo, iterando entre decisiones de diseño conscientes ancladas a características territoriales (predominantemente definidas por estructuras de agua) y adiciones genéricas independientemente del terreno, entre tejidos estructurantes y no dirigidos. En medio de otra ola de crecimiento y expansión desenfrenada, la ciudad planea duplicar su centro hacia el este a través del río Sài Gòn en los distritos 2, 9 y Thu Duc, que están llenos de agua. Esto ofrece la ocasión de repensar audazmente la formación de la metrópolis deltaica tropical contemporánea. El artículo abogará por una alternativa para el futuro desarrollo de HCMC a través de la elaboración de un proyecto para el centro gemelo de Sài Gòn, previsto en un terreno interfluvial lleno de agua que está sistemáticamente permeado por canales, ramas de ríos, acequias, etc. El plan reconoce que el sistema hídrico define el registro espacial base del territorio y ancla inteligentemente el desarrollo urbano en este registro
