El Club de lectura antirracista surge en el año 2023 como un espacio y comunidad donde, a través de la lectura y el debate, buscamos hacer una exploración sobre el antirracismo de manera colectiva. Este espacio, compuesto por personas de varias nacionalidades, nos permite compartir y reflexionar sobre textos que cuestionan los constructos que han hecho del racismo una práctica institucionalizada en nuestras sociedades.

Finally, I just finished reading all those childish books (the most recent one, Undoing the Demos by Wendy Brown). Now it is time for real authentic literature (the new book of the THG series)

I'm devastated.

The crusades were the first great impulse of European imperialism. They brought foreign markets under Western control, encouraged the development of cities, created a money economy in place of the natural economy of barter, and fostered the development of a new class, the bourgeoisie (Thompson, 397).

Charges of lesbianism and male homosexuality henceforth became routine against Cathars. “This, the first explicit allegation of homosexuality, also became a commonplace in later trials. Variations on the phrases vir cum viris [the man with men] and femina cum feminis [the woman with women] appear again and again” (Russell, 95, note). The word for Cathar in most European languages came to be the word for homosexual: in German, Ketzer, in Italian, gazarro, and in French, herite. In several languages the word for Bulgarian (the heresy originated in Bulgaria) also came to mean homosexual: Italian, bulgaro; French, bougre; and the English, bugger (Russell, 238-239; Hughes, 66).
