Download or read book The Crisis of Multiculturalism in Latin America written by David Lehmann and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a challenging view of the adoption and co-option of multiculturalism in Latin America from six scholars with extensive experience of grassroots movements and intellectual debates. It raises serious questions of theory, method, and interpretation for both social scientists and policymakers on the basis of cases in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, and Ecuador. Multicultural policies have enabled people to recover the land of their ancestors, administer justice in accordance with their traditions, provide recognition as full citizens of the nation, and promote affirmative action to enable them to take the place in society which is theirs by right. The message of this book is that while the multicultural response has done much to raise the symbolic recognition of indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples nationally and internationally, its application calls for a profound reappraisal in spheres such as land, gender, institutional design, and equal opportunities. Written by scholars with long-term and in-depth engagement in Latin America, the chapters show that multicultural theories and policies, which assume racial and cultural boundaries to be clear-cut, overlook the pervasive reality of racial and cultural mixture and place excessive confidence in identity politics.

Download or read book Critical Interculturality and Horizontal Methodologies in Latin America written by Sarah Corona Berkin and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-30 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this edifying volume Sarah Corona and Claudia Zapata extrapolate the causes for the divisions between groups in Latin American society, bringing their years of experience investigating the conditions and consequences of heterogeneity in the region. First, Corona approaches the problem of difference and heterogeneity epistemologically, asking about the possible benefits of horizontal modes of knowledge production between academics and the "social other." She demands reification for those without access to institutions who experience social ills and theorizes a trans-disciplinary dialogue to discover a horizontal construction of knowledge. Zapata evaluates and questions whether indigenous people throughout the continent have had their quality of life improved by the recognition of their collective rights as peoples. These two works provide overviews of a Latin American multiculturalism that connects to parallel movements in North America and Europe. Combined they offer a guide that could be vital to future activism and social work whether in the classroom or on the streets. Critical Interculturality and Horizontal Methodology in Latin America will appeal to scholars and students who are in need of new ways to comprehend the current strain of multiculturalism and plurality. It offers reflections on how social research can be not only sensitive to the epistemologies and interests of the "cultural other," but approach parity and horizontality in dialogue.

Download or read book Dismantling the Nation written by Florencia San Martín and published by Amherst College Press. This book was released on 2024-01-31 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first academic volume to theorize and historicize contemporary artistic practices and culture from Chile in the English language, Dismantling the Nation takes as its point of departure a radical criticism against the nation-state of Chile and its colonial, capitalist, heteronormative, and extractivist rule, proposing otherwise forms of inhabiting, creating, and relating in a more fluid, contingent, ecocritical, feminist, and caring worlds. From the case of Chile, the book expands the scholarly discussion around decolonial methodologies, attending to artistic practices and discourses from distinct and distant locations-from Arica and the Atacama Desert to Wallmapu and Tierra del Fuego, and from the Central Valley, the Pacific coast, and the Andes to territories beyond the nation's modern geographical borders. Analyzing how these practices refer to issues such as the environmental and cultural impact of extractivism, as well as memory, trauma, collectivity, and resistance towards neoliberal totality, the volume contributes to the fields of art history and visual culture, memory, ethnic, gender, and Indigenous studies, filmmaking, critical geography, and literature in Chile, Latin America, and other regions of the world, envisioning art history and visual culture from a transnational and transdisciplinary perspective.

Download or read book Ancestral Knowledges and Postcoloniality in Contemporary Ecuador written by Julia von Sigsfeld and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-04 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In light of an unprecedented constitutional acknowledgement of diverse epistemologies and stipulation making the protection and advancement of so-called 'ancestral knowledges' a duty of the state, this research provides an analysis of the uptake of historically subalternised knowledges by the state during the government of Rafael Correa (2007-2017), as well as of the strive for epistemic justice by peoples and nationalities' organisations in the context of struggles for social change, decolonisation, and self-determination. On the basis of rich empirical material, the analysis traces state discourses and practices and mechanisms to govern 'ancestral knowledges' in the framework of the government's Knowledge Society project and delineates how leaders of peoples and nationalities' organisations struggle for the decolonisation of knowledge. This monograph will be of interest to those concerned with relations between peoples and nationalities and Latin American states, politics of recognition and collective rights, the workings of purportedly post-neoliberal governments and the possibilities and limits for alternatives to development, the struggle of peoples and nationalities' organisations for (epistemic) decolonisation, as well as ongoing (re-)conceptualisations of cosmopolitanisms against restructurations of the coloniality of knowledge and being.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last fifteen years Latin American governments reformed their constitutions to recognize indigenous rights. The contributors to this book argue that these changes post fundamental challenges to accepted notions of democracy, citizenship and development in the region. Using case studies from Mexico, Guatemala, Bolivia and Peru, they analyze the ways in which new legal frameworks have been implemented, appropriated and contested within a wider context of accelerating economic and legal globalization, highlighting the key implications for social policy, human rights and social justice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Por una parte se analiza el papel de la cultura en la trastienda de las crisis. Se reflexiona acerca de sedimentaciones históricas de los sentimientos de pertenencia, las redes sociales, las formas organizacionales y de acción, y en general de la imaginación política, que aparecen como si estuvieran "dadas" en una situación y compelen a los agentes a actuar dentro de ciertos marcos. Los estudios analizan las maneras en que esas crisis afectan y transforman imaginarios nacionales de pertenencia, relatos de comunidad y de nación que los propios estados parecen incapaces de sustentar en la actualidad. Complementariamente, se preguntan de qué manera esos imaginarios y ciertas "tradiciones nacionales" inciden fuertemente en los modos en que las crisis son procesadas y respondidas de maneras muy diferentes en diversos países y por distintos sectores sociales, considerando las vivencias y expectativas, los modos de acción y organización. ¿Hasta qué punto las crisis producen fisuras en los límites de la imaginación nacional y hasta qué punto esos límites se hacen presentes dramáticamente en las maneras en que las crisis son procesadas?. Por otra parte se analizan los usos políticos de la cultura en las situaciones de crisis. Se abordan los cambios que se producen en las identidades sociales y políticas en el proceso de crisis, en las formas de participación, inclusión/exclusión, en las formas de nominación, la difuminación o reaparición de identificaciones étnicas o nacionales. Se consideran las políticas culturales de los estados y de movimientos sociales, los usos de "una cultura de la paz" o "una cultura para el desarrollo", las políticas de reconocimiento en las cuales se anuncia la pretensión de saldar simbólicamente aquello que no hacen la economía o a las instituciones. La cultura se convierte a veces en un epicentro de la lucha política, así como en otro plano esa lucha política está hecha de modos de imaginación y acción sedimentadas."

Download or read book La cultura como derecho en Am rica Latina written by Asier Martínez Bringas and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La cultura de la Modernidad ha impuesto su ritmo sin mengua, sin diálogo ni concesiones consensuadas. Todo ejercicio de concertación en la Modernidad ha consistido en la imposición de una determinada hegemonía histórica y en el desarrollo de unas determinadas relaciones de poder, constituyendo, de esta manera, el tiempo y espacio de lo que vamos a denominar la Colonialidad del Poder. En este marco, se han ensayado formas de multiculturalismo blando en todo América Latina para poder integrar el reto de diferencias cosmovisionales como la de los pueblos indígenas. Estos multiculturalismos han ejercico con pasión el "fetichismo de la diversidad abstracta", pasando por alto muy diversas y variadas formas de poder y violencia intercultural, siendo la diferencia o la hibridez la coartada perfecta para imponer nuevas formas de desigualdad y opresión sin reconocimiento. Este trabajo versa sobre dinamismos culturales y saberes ?los Estudios Culturales? en cuanto soportes desde donde articular una teoría crítica cuya manufactura última es el reconocimiento de los Derechos culturales. Todo ello en contrapunto con la hipoteca histórica y cultural que ha supuesto el régimen colonial en América Latina, y cómo las diferencias culturales ?específicamente las indígenas? han podido (de)construirse y fraguarse en tiempos postcoloniales ante el macabro lastre histórico que ha supuesto la sistemática exclusión de estos pueblos de los mundos de la vida.
