This Introduction to the special issue on "Creative Endings" thinks across intensities and temporalities to consider the force of "endings" in the contemporary political moment: the multiple timespaces within them, endings as temporalities in their own right, experienced forcefully, unequally, and as generative of dynamic emotional resonances. Whilst often stated, endings remain under-theorised in the discipline. Yet endings are a central form through which the assemblage of representations, materialities, structures and the more-than representational are organised in the orchestration and deliverance of political work. This introduction, and the various papers that follow, begin to address the gap in thinking, by introducing intensities and temporalities as ways to work with both the representational and more-than-representational forces of endings, drawing upon examples from contemporary politics. From here, we propose the creative arts, in occupying the threshold of the representational/more-than-representations, as well placed to intervene on endings. We think the creative arts can help us to know, represent, and intervene in various ends within the current political moment, through their attunement, specifically, to liveness, form and feeling.

O artigo discute os termos povo e autoridade na perspectiva cristã, com particular referência à perspectiva teórica do sociólogo e cientista político Luigi Sturzo. A partir da constatação de que as decisões do líder das necessidades do povo – o “estar no meio da gente” – pode assumir diversos sentidos, por vezes contraditórios, o autor analisa o possível significado da noção de ‘povo’ na tradição ‘populista’ clássica e naquela do ‘popularismo’ como a teoria política que nasce como tentativa de Sturzo de historicizar os princípios da Doutrina Social da Igreja. Para tornar clara a relação e a diferença entre o populismo e o popularismo, o autor introduz o conceito de ‘autoridade política’ desenvolvido por Sturzo, que a uma noção problemática de ‘we rationality’ opõe uma “concreta” “racionalidade do eu”: o princípio “unificador transcendente”, a ponto de transcender o próprio interesse imediato para fazer próprias as razões dos outros.

El alba es un motivo de la literatura mexicana particularmente del grupo de poetas que se denomina de Taller que ensayaron la tendencia neopopularista impulsada por los poetas españoles de la generación del 27. Este texto quiere dar cuenta de cómo el “alba” fue un término que los cohesionó como grupo desde 1931 hasta 1938, año en que sale de imprenta la revista Taller (1938-1941) de la que recibieron el nombre. Estas páginas atienden a los años (1931-1938) en que comienzan a relacionarse hasta constituirse propiamente como grupo a partir de la mencionada revista.

This article explores a panorama of relations between high culture and popular culture in Spanish poetry of the first third of the twentieth century. From populist proposals in the early years of the century to the demand for a revolutionary poetry in the lead up to the Civil War, the search for a fusion of cultured poetry with the popular tradition is a constant in the writing of poetry in this period.

The author attempts to formulate a poetic theory of this Mexican writer based on his works, which is divided in three parts; after an interlude -"the poet's darkest night"- he studies how remembrance works as a literary stimulus and concludes commenting on Alfonso Reyes' artistic popularism.
