Reseña del libro de Brendan Simms ¿El retorno de los grandes espacios? (Conferencias Carl Schmitt)
Por Seyed Alireza Mousavi
Traducción de Juan Gabriel Caro Rivera
El orden mundial dominado por los Estados Unidos hace tiempo que empezó a tambalearse. En el campo de batalla de Ucrania Estados Unidos libra una guerra de poder contra Rusia, mientras que Washington se encuentra detrás de la brutal operación militar israelí contra Gaza. Al mismo tiempo, Estados Unidos, como superpotencia dominante, ve amenazada su supremacía por el progreso económico y tecnológico de la República Popular China que ahora emerge como gran potencia. Brendan Simms, Director del Centro de Geopolítica de la Universidad de Cambridge, ve el orden mundial dominado por EEUU amenazado por China y Rusia, cuyos estrategas y estadistas han recuperado la idea de los Grandes Espacios.
Las líneas de conflicto global ya son claramente visibles. En Ucrania Occidente rechaza la afirmación de Putin de que este territorio forma parte de Rusia. En Asia China se enfrenta militarmente a Occidente por Taiwán y el Mar de China Meridional para liberar su espacio geopolítico del dominio de las potencias navales occidentales. En los últimos 120 años hemos visto cómo las potencias dominantes anglosajonas fueron desafiadas por potencias emergentes con fuertes identidades regionales. Tanto en 1918 como en 1945 la oposición de las potencias regionales a un orden mundial anglosajón acabó muy mal, aunque no podemos predecir cómo acabará esta vez. Simms, en una conferencia sobre Carl Schmitt que dio en Berlín y que fue publicada recientemente como un folleto por Duncker & Humblot, Simms sostiene que el concepto de la Gran Europa vuelve a estar de moda en todo el mundo: después del auge de la bipolaridad de la Guerra Fría y la unipolaridad estadounidense posterior a 1989 hemos visto como en los últimos veinte años el regionalismo y la multipolaridad se hacen más fuertes.
¿El retorno de los grandes espacios?
Rusia, al igual que China, habla de que desea dominar un espacio mucho mayor al que posee actualmente. Por supuesto, existe un nombre al que repetidamente se hace referencia (Carl Schmitt) y un concepto que ha vuelto a ponerse de moda (Großraum, Gran Espacio). La relevancia actual de Carl Schmitt tiene que ver sobre todo con su crítica a la hegemonía angloamericana.
El pensamiento alemán sobre el Großraum siempre ha tenido una fuerte connotación antibritánica y antiamericana, ya que considera que la principal amenaza para Alemania no procede de Francia o Rusia, sino del poder naval y económico algloaméricano. Los orígenes del concepto de la Gran Europa, la idea de que Europa Central debería unirse en torno a su núcleo alemán, se remontan a principios del siglo XIX. Desde la perspectiva anglosajona este debate siempre fue motivo de «preocupación», especialmente ante la idea de que una potencia pudiera crear un sistema de orden completamente independiente en Europa y Eurasia.
El nacionalsocialista Adolf Hitler se adelantó en muchas cuestiones geopolíticas relativas al relativas al futuro de Alemania tras «el Dictado de Versalles» con respecto a Carl Schmitt. Las opiniones de Schmitt coincidían en gran medida con las que Hitler expresó en los años 1939-42. Sin embargo, la concepción de Hitler no procedía de Schmitt. Hitler llevaba tiempo desarrollando su concepción del espacio y pensando en la Doctrina Monroe mucho antes de que el jurista la abordara en detalle. El historiador Simms cita una entrevista de Hitler con el New York Times en la que informaba sobre sus planes de crear una Doctrina Monroe alemana. Según Hitler Europa debía quedar en manos de Alemania y el resto del mundo en manos de las potencias anglosajonas sobre la base de un acuerdo de no injerencia mutua en los asuntos de los demás.
Una Doctrina Monroe europea
El núcleo del argumento de Schmitt es anti-universalista. En lugar de un orden mundial basado en ciertos principios universalmente válidos, que él veía sólo como una excusa para el imperialismo angloamericano basado en el derecho de intervención, Schmitt abogaba por el establecimiento de un sistema multipolar basado en grandes áreas delimitadas geográficamente.
Sin embargo, había diferencias entre las ambiciones de Hitler y la conceptualización propuesta por Carl Schmitt: Schmitt no dio una definición geográfica precisa del Gran Espacio alemán. Su Gran Alemania era más un espacio geojurídico que geopolítico. Schmitt no sólo había previsto un sistema multipolar, sino también una pluralidad de sistemas políticos. Además, ambos manifestaban diferentes actitudes hacia la Unión Soviética: al principio, el Tercer Reich intentó cautivar a Stalin con esta idea. El pacto germano-soviético de 1939 parecía abrir la posibilidad de un bloque euroasiático que se extendiera desde el Atlántico hasta Japón. De hecho, Land und Meer (Tierra y Mar) de Schmitt puede leerse como una crítica encubierta a la ruptura del pacto germano-soviético por parte de Hitler. Al fin y al cabo, los dos aliados temporales eran potencias terrestres con intereses comunes frente a los todopoderosos «monstruos marinos» anglosajones.
En este sentido, el historiador Simms considera a Schmitt como el cerebro de Eurasia. Después de todo, la Unión Soviética y el comunismo no eran el principal enemigo de Schmitt durante la Guerra Fría, sino las pretensiones universales de Occidente. En su diálogo sobre el partisano, Schmitt también elogió a los chinos como un pueblo que mantenía sus pies conectados a la tierra y los contrapuso implícitamente a las potencias navales occidentales.
Schmitt como cerebro euroasiático
En su conferencia de Berlín Simms señala que existe una línea directa y clara que va de Carl Schmitt a Putin y Xi Jinping. Los euroasiáticos e historiadores rusos se refieren a la región de la Gran Eurasia como una «realidad legal y manifiesta que permitirá el retorno de Rusia a la grandeza». Elena Vladimirovna Panina, una conocida parlamentaria rusa, esperaba una alianza de Moscú, París y Berlín para contrarrestar la alianza naval liderada por Estados Unidos y Gran Bretaña. Desde esta perspectiva, el ataque ruso a Ucrania a finales de febrero de 2022 es vista por los eurasiáticos como un acto de autodefensa por parte del Kremlin.
El pensamiento de Schmitt tiene una larga historia de recepción en China debido a su oposición al liberalismo. Los chinos alaban a Schmitt como un historiador global que les ha ayudado a comprender la difícil situación de China a finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX como «espacio libre» global dominado por otros y, en forma de la Teoría de la Gran China, les proporciona precisamente las herramientas para superar esta situación en el siglo XXI.
El miedo y el odio a los anglosajones no es tan pronunciado en China como en Rusia, pero forma parte importante del «imaginario político», señala el historiador irlandés. China condenó recientemente el pacto AUCUS entre Australia, Estados Unidos y el Reino Unido sobre el uso conjunto de tecnología de submarinos nucleares, calificándolo de «bloque anglosajón».
La alianza Moscú-Pekín
Según Simms la raíz del entendimiento entre Putin y Xi radica en su hostilidad compartida hacia los intentos de Occidente de implantar «principios democráticos» a escala mundial. Rusia y China defienden la idea de la creación de una macro-región que conecte las regiones rusa y china en un todo. El historiador ve actualmente un enfrentamiento entre, por un lado, las áreas regionales dominadas por Rusia y China, cada una de las cuales representa una forma particular de ver el mundo, y, por el otro, un Occidente universal que está anclado geográficamente en la angloesfera, pero pretende operar en todo el mundo.
El hecho de que el historiador irlandés establezca paralelismos en sus conferencias en Berlin sobre Carl Schmitt y la coexistencia de la Gran Rusia y la Gran China que recuerdan al Pacto de las Tres Potencias de 1940 (la Alemania nazi, Italia, Japón) es una prueba de hasta qué punto Simms se ha quedado anclado en las relaciones de poder de los años cuarenta en su análisis del mundo actual. De hecho, Simms sostiene que se está creando una nueva bipolaridad dominada por EEUU y China/Rusia, confundiendo este concepto con la multipolaridad. El ascenso del Sur global y la emergencia de los Estados que componen los BRICS son, en mi opinión, un contexto más apropiado para analizar la transición del orden mundial desde la unipolaridad de las potencias marítimas a la multipolaridad de las potencias terrestres. Simms también ignora por completo el hecho de que la nueva potencia terrestre China está expandiendo su influencia más allá de su propia área cultural a través del proyecto de la Nueva Ruta de la Seda, aunque no quiere imponer los valores de Asia Oriental en zonas extranjeras. Y este patrón también se aplica en gran medida a otras nuevas potencias como Rusia, India, Turquía e Irán. En este contexto, el concepto de la Gran Región de Asia Oriental necesita una nueva definición para hacer justicia a la actual evolución geopolítica.

W A T C H E D
Controversial in many ways, violent, gory, including instances of killing real animals in the jungle (which were given to the villagers), and sexually explicit scenes AND it was initially mistaken for a snuff film by authorities**!
But it had a moving plot that wasn't boring or stagnant. I was really ready to sleep through this as a low-budget wonky edited and poorly written. Something that would make Ed Wood films look extravagant.
It was a good plot despite all the things I could nitpick. I certainly see what Eli Roth enjoyed from it to create his own Amazon Jungle cannibal film "The Green Inferno". With that being a spiritual sibling to this film.
I think I prefer Green Inferno to this, but it's good to finally see Cannibal Holocaust after years of hearing/reading about it.
**Ten days after its premiere in Milan, Cannibal Holocaust was confiscated under the orders of a local magistrate, and Ruggero Deodato was charged with obscenity. As all copies were to be turned over to the authorities, the film was released in other countries like the United Kingdom via subterfuge. In January 1981, during the film's theatrical run in France, the magazine Photo suggested that certain deaths depicted in the film were real, which would have made Cannibal Holocaust a snuff film. Following the publication of the Photo article, the charges against Deodato were amended to include murder. The courts believed that the actors who portrayed the missing film crew and the native actress featured in the impalement scene were killed for the camera.
Compounding matters was the fact that the supposedly deceased actors had signed contracts with the production which ensured that they would not appear in any type of media, motion pictures, or commercials for one year following the film's release. This was done in order to promote the idea that Cannibal Holocaust was truly the recovered footage of missing documentarians. During the subsequent court proceedings, questions arose as to why the actors were in no other media if they were alive as Deodato claimed.
To prove his innocence, Deodato had Luca Barbareschi get in contact with the other three actors, and the four of them were interviewed for an Italian television show. Deodato also explained in court how the special effect in the impalement scene was achieved: a bicycle seat was attached to the end of an iron pole, upon which the actress sat. She then held a short length of balsa wood in her mouth and looked skyward, thus giving the appearance of impalement. Deodato also provided the court with pictures of the girl interacting with the crew after the scene had been filmed. After they were presented with this evidence, the courts dropped all murder charges against Deodato.

Albumtober Day 24: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
(Prompt: An album that tells a story)
Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (1974)
Another alchemical album from 1974. This bafflingly esoteric rock opera, the last Genesis album to feature Peter Gabriel, tells the story of a youth from New York who goes on a surreal journey to look for his brother, and ends up finding himself.
I've never read anything confirming this, but I would be willing to bet Peter Gabriel has at least a passing knowledge of Hermeticism, esotericism, or at least Carl Jung's psychological alchemy. A lot of Gabriel's work, both with Genesis and in his solo career, seems to contain esoteric themes.
The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is undoubtedly his magnum opus, his Great Work. The plot is reminiscent of the alchemical phrase "visita interiora terrae rectificando invenies occultum lapidem", which translates to "visit the interior of the earth, and by rectifying (purifying) find the hidden stone." The literal Philosopher's Stone is not referenced in the album, but our protagonist, Rael, goes under the ground, undergoes tribulations and transformations, is "purified" in a manner of speaking (more on that later) and in the end finds that his brother has his own face, and "his consciousness darts from one face to the other, then back again, until his presence is no longer solidly contained in one or the other." Then everything dissolves into haze. Perhaps Rael himself represents the Philosopher's Stone.
Transformation seems to be a theme in this album. After the lamb lies down and the cloud of death descends on New York, Rael passes out and wakes up in a cocoon underground. The next time he wakes up the cocoon is gone and he's trapped in a cage of stalagmites and wishes he could turn to liquid in order to escape. The cage ends up dissolving on its own, and eventually Rael finds himself in a crowd of people who want to escape but don't know the way out because there are too many doors. Could this be seen as a metaphor for those who seek truth/enlightenment but don't know where to turn to because there are too many possible paths? I don't know! (The song right before this, "Carpet Crawlers", includes a lyric saying "the liquid has congealed." Just thought I'd note that.) Rael escapes with the help of a blind woman and after a near-death experience encounters a pool with three Lamia who embrace him and nibble at his flesh, then die, and he eats them. The pool could be seen as the alchemical vessel of sorts, in which a union takes place. After this, Rael begins transforming into a "slipperman", a sort of diseased being, and the only cure is castration.
There are a lot of things "whipping off your windscreen wiper" could represent in fiction, but here it could be interpreted as purification in a sense, especially since it follows the Lamia encounter and subsequent slipperman transformation. It occurs towards the end of the album, the final stage in Rael's journey. (His brother John also undergoes the procedure, having made it to the slipperman colony before him.) After chasing down a raven which steals the severed member, Rael ends up at a subterranean river. A skylight shows a glimpse of New York above, and Rael has a chance to escape, but John is drowning, and Rael enters the water to save him. As mentioned earlier, it turns out "John" is also Rael, and the two bodies are one self. They dissolve into a haze which "fills everything with its mysterious intoxicating presence." Again, this is rich with symbolism. Water again is entered. Two bodies become (or turn out to be) one person, although in this case the two are the same, unlike the usual alchemical union where the two would be opposites.
The last song on the album refers to "it". What is it? Well, it seems to be something inexplainable, something which is in everything. Is it soul, spirit, Anima Mundi? Is it rock and roll? "If you think that it's pretentious, you've been taken for a ride." I feel like this album really is like some kind of esoteric treatise, and whatever it is can't just be explained exoterically. I could be reading too much into it, of course, but a lot of the symbolism in the album seems deliberate. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is Genesis's magnum opus in the conventional sense, but the term might very well apply in the alchemical sense as well.
Favorite tracks: "In The Cage", "Carpet Crawlers", "Back In N.Y.C."
