Tres elementos fundamentales en la idea de nacionalismo de Isaiah Berlin

el siguiente artículo tiene como objetivo presentar algunas de las raíces fundamentales del nacionalismo1 en la obra del pensador Isaiah Berlin. El objetivo que me propongo no es la mera presentación de las distintas reflexiones de I. Berlin acerca del nacionalismo, sino que pretendo relacionar dichas reflexiones con los elementos que precisamente hacen de él un pensador atípico dentro de la tradición liberal. Así, el artículo está estructurado de forma que tras una breve presentación del nacionalismo en Berlin, procederé a establecer las conexiones existentes en su teoría entre nacionalismo y deseo de reconocimiento, por un lado, nacionalismo y pensamiento romántico, por otro, y en último lugar, nacionalismo y libertad positiva.the aim of this article is to present some of the basic roots of the idea of nationalism2 in the work of Isaiah Berlin. I will try not only just to display the different thoughts of I. Berlin on nationalism, but also to relate these thoughts with the elements that precisely make him an atypical thinker within the liberal tradition. So, the article is arranged as follows: after a brief introduction to Berlin’s nationalism, I will establish the actual connections of his theory between, on the one hand, nationalism and the search for status, on the other, nationalism and Romanticism, and finally, nationalism and positive liberty

Working through the Past: The Victory of Adwa Revisited

If working through the past is going to heal a nation, it has to come from within.  This paper explores two senses of historical responsibility: the responsibility we bear for healing the wounds of the past or working-off-the-past, and the responsibility we may have in fulfilling the promises of the defining moments of the past (redeeming or cashing in on the past). By utilizing these two conceptual tools, the paper carves out a normative space Adwa ought to occupy in a just and ethical revitalisation of our collective memories. It argues that the process of coming to terms with divisive historical legacies must pass ‘the Adwa test’ that it ought to be comprehensively liberating, universalizable, and thus has the ability to translate ‘the past as future.’ The victory in Adwa passes on the responsibility to birth our future in the image of its Volksgeist or spirit of the people (in the Hegelian sense indicating dialectical unfolding of the self, and not in the Fichtean sense where the past is defined in puritan terms) and by cultivating a national character commensurate with it. This paper posits that engagement with the positive experience of freedom from colonialism and the attendant sense of individual and collective autonomy that Adwa provides is one part of the equation for what Adorno calls “reconciliation” of the subject with object (history). The other part is a genuine recognition of the collective memory that past harm brought forth in the present, which we often reject as inherently unlike us. While Adwa offers the ground we stand on, embracing historical contradictions will serve as a condition for genuine reconciliation. The responsibility to come to terms with, atone for, and rectify the legacies of our history must be underpinned by an equal responsibility to fulfil Adwa’s promises

Protective Labor Legislation: How Oregon Attached Motherhood to Working Women

In 1913 the Consumers’ League of Oregon, published their “Report on the Wages, Hours and Conditions of Work and Cost of Standard Living [for] Woman Wage Earners” in support of the “Bill for an Industrial Welfare Commission.” The report’s data collection reflected the increased concern for women that left home and entered the workforce at the turn of the 20th century. To achieve the goal of protecting women, the Consumers’ League of Oregon adopted ideas of difference theory, which stated that men and women were fundamentally different and that women needed protection that men did not need. Protective labor legislation aimed to aid women workers in securing shorter hours, higher wages, and better working environments. While sex-based legislation served as the opening wedge for this protective reform, it also convinced both the state and federal courts that women would never be equal to men
