This is a deliberately contentious paper about the future of the socio-political sphere in the West based on what we know about its past. I argue that the predominant public discourse in Western countries is best characterised as one of selective forgetfulness; a semi-blissful, amnesiacal state of collective dementia that manifests itself in symbolic idealism: informationalism. Informationalism is merely the latest form of idealism. It is a lot like religion insofar as it causally relates abstract concepts with reality and, consequently, becomes confused between the two. Historically, this has proven to be a dangerous state of affairs, especially when elites becomes confused between ideas about how a society should work, and the way it actually does work. Central to the idealism of the information age, at least in intellectual spheres, is the so called "problem of the subject". I argue that the "problem of the subject" is a largely synthetic, destabilising, and ultimately fruitless theoretical abstraction which turns on a synthetically derived, generalised intradiscursive space; existentialist nihilism; and the theoretical baubles of ontological metaphysics. These philosophical aberrations are, in turn, historically concomitant with especially destructive political and social configurations. This paper sketches a theoretical framework for identity formation which rejects the problem of the subject, and proposes potential resources, sources, and strategies with which to engage the idealism that underpins this obfuscating problematic in an age of turbulent social uncertainty. Quite simply, I turn to history as the source of human identity. While informationalism, like religion, is mostly focused on utopian futures, I assert that history, not the future, holds the solutions for substantive problematics concerning individual and social identities. I argue here that history, language, thought, and identity are indissolubly entangled and so should be understood as such: they are the fundamental parts of 'identities in action'. From this perspective, the ‘problem of the subject’ becomes less a substantive intellectual problematic and more a theoretical red herring.

El interés de este estudio de caso es comprender y explicar la apropiación del espacio público urbano no sólo como un vínculo cotidiano entre el territorio y sus ciudadanos, sino, además, como un proceso dialéctico que, genera significado, identidad y apego al lugar. En este sentido se analizan las formas de apropiación nocturnas del Parque de los Hippies a partir de una muestra poblacional de jóvenes entre 18-28 años, a la luz de los parámetros de Enric Pol y Tomeu Vidal. Evidenciando que desde un acercamiento cotidiano a la realidad urbana, que reconozca la significación histórica, social, cultural y económica de los territorios, así como las dinámicas de convivencia y conflictos que se presentan en dichos espacios, se puede, desde el enfoque de gestión y desarrollo urbanos, generar recomendaciones para movilizar acciones que resalten y preserven los valores urbanos multidimensionales del lugar; fortalezcan algunas de sus formas de apropiación y, promuevan la convivencia entre las distintas formas y sus actores.

This exhibition catalogue essay provides an introduction to psychedelic culture during the postwar period. It describes the early use of LSD in psychiatric circles and its conception as a psychotomimetic substance. It then considers its use by literary figures such as Aldous Huxley and followers of the Beat Generation. Timothy Leary's role as an LSD philosopher is also explained as is the rise of the Hippies and the ensuing counterculture. This culture produced a range of cultural forms such as music, fashion, graphic design and other visual arts that were informed by hallucinations experienced under the influence of LSD. It concludes with a description of the end of the Hippie movement in the 1970s.

Background: The term ‘green health promotion’ is given to health promotion underpinned by the principles of ecological health and sustainability. Green health promotion is supported philosophically by global health promotion documents such as the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion (1986) and the ecological public health movement. Green health promotion in schools aims to practice the principles of ecological health and sustainability. Methods: An extended literature review revealed a paucity of literature about green health promotion in schools across disciplines. Literature about nurses and health promotion in schools is generally found in nursing publications. Literature about ecological sustainability in schools is mostly found in teaching publications. Results: This paper explores the nexus between nursing and health promotion, and teachers and ecological sustainability. Collaborative partnerships between health and education do not capitalise on programs such as Health Promoting Schools and the School Based Youth Health Nurse Program in Queensland, Australia. The authors consider how collaborative partnerships between health and education in schools can work towards green health promotion. Conclusion: Nursing’s approach to health promotion and education’s approach to ecological sustainability need to be aligned to enhance green health promotion in schools and promote a new generation of ‘tree huggers and hippies’.

A raiz de los sucesos violentos entre niños e Estados Unidos, se reflexiona sobre la violencia juvenil en nuestro país. Se establece una tipología de jóvenes violentos urbanos, estableciéndose las características de estas 'tribus urbanas': Beat, hippies, Rochers, heavies, surfers y skaters, punkies y skinheads. Estas tipologías son importante ya que la mayor parte de la violencia juvenil se produce en agrupamientos..

"Cuidado. Há um morcego na porta principal. Cuidado. Há um abismo na porta principal." Assim cantava Jards Macalé no final da década de 60. Naquela ocasião, beirando a casa dos trinta, Batman morcegava alheio ao movimento estudantil, às lutas dos negros e das mulheres e às aventuras e rebeldias dos hippies. Batman estava engajado na defesa dos valores da civilização ocidental, na defesa do capital e do consumo. Hoje, o homem morcego - um pouco mais envelhecido, solitário e experiente - invade as casas, as ruas, as escolas, os postos de gasolina, os carros, em uma palavra: a vida. O símbolo de Batman não aparece apenas nos céus de Gothan City, mas também nos copos, cadernos, borrachas, chaveiros, plásticos de propaganda eleitoral, camisas, camisetas, camisinhas, bermudas, mochilas, bonés, ténis, vídeos e filmes. É a batmania. Em relação ao filme Batman deixo aos críticos e aos cinéfilos a discussão em torno da fotografia, dos efeitos especiais, do desempenho dos atores, da trilha sonora e da maquilagem, para me deter na tentativa de nele identificar um campo de interesse para uma abordagem museológica.

Fernando Sánchez Dragó pertenece por edad a la generación de 1956, aunque por afinidad está más cerca de la siguiente, la de 1968, una generación iconoclasta, nihilista y anarquista. Hay a su alrededor un grupo de intelectuales muy conocidos situados dentro de la contracultura (Salvador Pániker, Luis Racionero, Antonio Escohotado, Ramiro Calle, Pepa Roma y Fernando Díez), que sufren por primera vez una influencia directa de las religiones orientales al tiempo que experimentan con drogas visionarias. Un día de marzo de 1967 sufre una experiencia de conversión en Benarés mientras contempla el Ganges, que hará que sienta lo sagrado a partir de entonces a la manera oriental. Descubre el mundo de los hippies y se inicia en la “ebriedad sagrada” de las drogas enteogénicas, que le abren las puertas de la percepción. La lectura de de Carl Gustav Jung hace surgir en él la idea de escribir el libro que le hará famoso, Gárgoris y Habidis. Una historia mágica de España, que indaga en el inconsciente colectivo de los españoles mediante la búsqueda de sus arquetipos. Frente a los demás compañeros de la generación de 1968, que rompen con la tradición española, él decide emprender un viaje de signo contrario en dirección al pasado en busca de un sentido religioso del mundo y de la vida en la España antigua, hasta descubrir una tradición que además es esotérica y heterodoxa, pero que con el paso del tiempo terminará por imaginar como una invención suya que nunca existió...
