This paper focuses on the visual representation of "the urban people" by the Spanish leftwing populist party Unidas Podemos (UP) during the campaign for regional elections in Madrid in 2021. The political environment was characterised by increasing polarisation and the hyper-leadership of two candidates, right-wing Isabel Díaz Ayuso and UP's national leader Pablo Iglesias. In this context, UP employed a diverse range of images and audiovisual material with a specific focus on the urban dimension. This paper explores how the populist logic and societal split--the people vs. the elite--deployed by UP are visually represented and connected with the urban space. Drawing on the central role of images in politics, this paper contributes to the emerging scholarship on the visual and spatial dimensions of populism by (a) exploring the connections between populist imaginary, space, and the visual; (b) advancing an empirical analysis of the image of "the people" in a left-wing political party; and (c) connecting the imaginary of populism to its geo-graphical dimension, stressing both the urban and class divide.

This article develops a conceptualisation of transversal solidarity in relation to migration and migrants. It reflects different ways of practicing, organising and articulating solidarity. We proceed through a conceptualisation of solidarity in terms of 'transversal solidarity' relating to three dimensions involved in solidarity practices from below and discuss how to bridge their respective dichotomies: identity and the related in-group and out-group dichotomy; space, in terms of the separation of the local from the national and international; organisation, related to the incompatibility of the social and the institutional. We link this conceptualisation to a typology of solidarity working on three different scales (autonomous solidarity, civic solidarity and institutional solidarity), which reflects these dynamics of solidarity as well as the degree of institutionalisation. We use different examples to illustrate various types of transversal solidarity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Los empleados en empresas multinacionales no solo aplican sus competencias laborales para desempeñar su trabajo, sino que recurren a sus competencias interculturales. En este artículo, analizamos la competencia intercultural desde un enfoque cognitivo-pragmático para dar cuenta del modo en que empleados latinoamericanos y españoles comprenden los encuentros interculturales y activan diferentes representaciones culturales en función de la posición discursiva que asumen. Las categorías, aplicadas al mundo laboral y a su experiencia personal, muestra cómo diversas situaciones son categorizadas en términos culturales, combinando representaciones estereotipadas con nuevas categorías fruto del aprendizaje intercultural.
