Book excerpt: Los filosofos latinoamericanos han reconocido desde siempre su comopromiso con la realidad, tal como lo hizo Esteban Echeverria en 1837, cuando confirmo como proposito del pensar filosofico la busqueda "de la verdad que resulte de los hechos de nuestra historia y del reconocimiento pleno de las costumbres y del espiritu de la nacion." Asi, Arturo Andres Roig examina el despuntar y el devenir de la filosofia de nuestras naciones y confronta los logros y los accidentes de la filosofia latinoamericana.

In the process of awareness of the objective reality arise certain concepts through which man fixate and express the proprieties, characteristics and links of the objects and phenomena’s of the outside world. The concepts that reflect the most important aspects, links and or characteristics of a field of phenomena’s constitute its categories. Each science possesses its own categories. In the case of the field of Theory of underdevelopment its categories arise during the first postwar period. After the Second World War, in publications of the United Nations began the utilization of the category underdeveloped to designate the specific-historical reality of the peripheral countries linked to the capitalist system. It was expressed, with this category, the set of properties, characteristics, links and relationships, generally-essential and specific, of the new phenomena that reached in the process of its evolution the point of its full maturity. It was the way, to say it in a different manner, that the thought was taking ownership of this new historical reality. To such a point did society become aware of the underdevelopment that innumerable dependencies arose state, international, academically and university wide by those overseeing the phenomenon.
Download or read book Filosof a y cr tica en Am rica Latina written by Mabel Moraña and published by Ediciones Metales Pesados. This book was released on 2018 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro explora las complejas relaciones entre los campos de la filosofía y de la crítica, enfocando aspectos metodológicos, ideológicos y culturales en los que la reflexión canónica europea conecta, en muchos casos conflictivamente, con el pensamiento latinoamericano. Filosofía y crítica analiza aspectos de la obra deinfluyentes pensadores modernos (Benjamin, Foucault, Bourdieu, Sloterdijk) vis a vis las propuestas de autores representativos de la filosofía latinoamericana (Mariátegui, Dussel, Bartra, Echeverría), intentando descubrir convergencias y desafíos entre ambas vertientes. Asimismo, este volumen se detiene en temas cruciales de nuestro tiempo: la crisis del humanismo, las estrategias de la biopolítica, los problemas de la escasez, la violencia, la crítica de la modernidad, el mundo de los afectos y los desafíos de la globalización. El marcado perfil del pensamiento latinoamericano va imprimiendo, así, su marca en debates actuales, revelando la fuerza pujante de corrientes intelectuales que resisten la dominación epistémica en busca de formas renovadas de emancipación colectiva.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a discussion of the origins of Latin American dependency theories and their implications for contemporary social theory.

Download or read book The Politics of Academic Autonomy in Latin America written by Fernanda Beigel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic autonomy has been a dominant issue among Latin American social studies, given that the production of knowledge in the region has been mostly suspected for its lack of originality and the replication of Euro-American models. Politicization within the higher education system and recurrent military interventions in universities have been considered the main structural causes for this heteronomy and, thus, the main obstacles for 'scientific' achievements. This groundbreaking book analyses the struggle for academic autonomy taking into account the relevant differences between the itinerary of social and natural sciences, the connection of institutionalization and prestige-building, professionalization and engagement. From the perspective of the periphery, academic dependence is not merely a vertical bond that ties active producers and passive reproducers. Even though knowledge produced in peripheral communities has low rates of circulation within the international academic system, this doesn't imply that their production is - or always has been - the result of a massive import of foreign concepts and resources. This book intends to show that the main differences between mainstream academies and peripheral circuits are not precisely in the lack of indigenous thinking, but in the historical structure of academic autonomy, which changes according to a set of factors -mainly the role of the state in the higher education system. This historical structure explains the particular features of the process of professionalization in Latin American scientific fields.
Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Latin America in the World written by Jorge I Dominguez and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 655 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Latin America in the World explains how the Latin American countries have both reacted and contributed to changing international dynamics over the last 30 years. It provides a comprehensive picture of Latin America’s global engagement by looking at specific processes and issues that link governments and other actors, social and economic, within the region and beyond. Leading scholars offer an up-to-date state of the field, theoretically and empirically, thus avoiding a narrow descriptive approach. The Handbook includes a section on theoretical approaches that analyze Latin America’s place in the international political and economic system and its foreign policy making. Other sections focus on the main countries, actors, and issues in Latin America’s international relations. In so doing, the book sheds light on the complexity of the international relations of selected countries, and on their efforts to act multilaterally. The Routledge Handbook of Latin America in the World is a must-have reference for academics, researchers, and students in the fields of Latin American politics, international relations, and area specialists of all regions of the world.
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Latin American Development written by Julie Cupples and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Latin American Development seeks to engage with comprehensive, contemporary, and critical theoretical debates on Latin American development. The volume draws on contributions from across the humanities and social sciences and, unlike earlier volumes of this kind, explicitly highlights the disruptions to the field being brought by a range of anti-capitalist, decolonial, feminist, and ontological intellectual contributions. The chapters consider in depth the harms and suffering caused by various oppressive forces, as well as the creative and often revolutionary ways in which ordinary Latin Americans resist, fight back, and work to construct development defined broadly as the struggle for a better and more dignified life. The book covers many key themes including development policy and practice; neoliberalism and its aftermath; the role played by social movements in cities and rural areas; the politics of water, oil, and other environmental resources; indigenous and Afro-descendant rights; and the struggles for gender equality. With contributions from authors working in Latin America, the US and Canada, Europe, and New Zealand at a range of universities and other organizations, the handbook is an invaluable resource for students and teachers in development studies, Latin American studies, cultural studies, human geography, anthropology, sociology, political science, and economics, as well as for activists and development practitioners.
Download or read book Histories of Perplexity written by A. Ricardo López-Pedreros and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-19 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By combining chronological coverage, analytical breadth, and interdisciplinary approaches, these two volumes—Histories of Solitude and Histories of Perplexity—study the histories of Colombia over the past two centuries as illustrations of the histories of democracy across the Americas. The volumes bring together over 40 scholars based in Colombia, the United States, England, and Canada working in various disciplines to discuss how a country that has been consistently presented as a rarity in Latin America provides critical examples to re-examine major historical problems: republicanism and liberalism; export economies and agrarian modernization; populism and cultural politics of state formation; revolutionary and counterinsurgent Cold War violence; neoliberal reforms and urban development; popular mobilization and counterhegemonic public spheres; political ecologies and environmental struggles; and labors of memory and the challenge of reconciliation. Contributors are sensitive to questions of subjectivity and discourse, observant of ethnographic details and micro-politics, and attuned to macro-perspectives such as transnational and global histories. These volumes offer fresh perspectives on Colombia and will be of great value to those interested in Latin American and Caribbean history.
Download or read book Setbacks and Advances in the Modern Latin American Economy written by Pablo A. Baisotti and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores several notable themes related to the economy in Latin America and offers insightful historical perspectives to understand national, regional, and global issues in the continent since the beginning of the 20th century to the present day. The collected essays focus on economic crises, the relationship of growth models to society and politics, the fluctuations of local economies, and regional protests. Other aspects of consideration in this area include the evolution of integrated regional trading blocs, the informal economy, and the destruction of the productive potential that has had a serious social, cultural, and environmental impact. The volume refuses to impose a traditional and uncritical linear historical narrative onto the reader and instead proposes an alternative interpretation of the past and its relation to the present.
Download or read book Latin America in Global International Relations written by Amitav Acharya and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using decades of their own insight into teaching undergraduate International Relations (IR) courses, leading experts offer an introduction to IR thinking throughout history in Latin America, unfolding ideas, voices, concepts and approaches from the region that can contribute to the broader Global IR discussion. The book highlights and discuss the growing possibility of a Latin American agency, defined broadly to include both material and ideational elements, in regional and international relations, covering areas where Latin America’s contributions are especially visible and relevant, such as regionalism, international law, security management, and Latin America’s relations with the outside world. This is not about exclusively "Latin American solutions to Latin American problems", but rather about contributions in which Latin Americans define the terms for understanding the issues and set the terms for the nature and scope of outside involvement. Written with verve and clarity, Latin America in Global International Relations exposes readers to the relevance of redefining and broadening IR theory. It will serve as a guide for instructors in structuring their courses and in identifying the place of Latin America in the discipline.
Download or read book Social Science in Context written by Rickard Danell and published by Nordic Academic Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Science in Context is one of the first ventures to explore the relationship between social science and society in historical, sociological and global perspective. What impact has the research in these areas had on society? How are research fields established and to what ends? Social Science in Context is a compilation of articles by an international and multidisciplinary group of scholars. The authors analyse the practical making and discursive aspects of social scientific knowledge and examples are drawn from a broad range of disciplines such as sociology, psychology, economics, and gender studies. The overall aim of the book is to encourage a contextual and reflexive understanding of the complex relationship between the social sciences and society. The bonds of the past and today are made up by reciprocity and involve key elements such as gender and power, science and politics, academic boundaries and global power relations. The book should be of interest to researchers, graduate students or anyone else interested in understanding and reflecting upon the uses, roles and functions of social science in today's globalised world.
