Book excerpt: "Este libro reúne dieciséis ensayos preparados por los miembros del Grupo de Trabajo "Cultura y Transformaciones Sociales en Tiempos de Globalización". Es el segundo libro sobre el mismo tema resultante de las actividades del Grupo; no obstante, uno y otro volumen constituyen colecciones independientes entre sí. Los artículos contribuyen a teorizar con vocación de intervención acerca de algunas transformaciones sociales en tiempos de globalización desde perspectivas que ponen de relieve la importancia y significación de los aspectos simbólicos de las prácticas de los actores sociales. Se ocupan de problemas relacionados con las políticas neoliberales y los papeles jugados por las llamadas industrias culturales en los imaginarios sociales y las dinámicas sociales contemporáneas de varios países; el desafío de las músicas "mulatas" a la modernidad eurocéntrica; los desafíos que según los casos han enfrentado o enfrentan el movimiento feminista y las reivindicaciones de género en contextos políticos particulares; la construcción social de imaginarios y sistemas de representaciones alternativos a los de los discursos sociales dominantes y su importancia política; la construcción de discursos sociales, políticas y prácticas racistas y las impugnaciones a las mismas por parte de diversos actores sociales; las relaciones interétnicas y su importancia en las dinámicas internas y en las políticas del Banco Mundial; las redefiniciones de "lo público" y "lo político" a través de los usos de Internet por ciudadanos y organizaciones sociales; las fronteras como escenarios de conflictos de intereses y disputas identitarias y la fertilidad de su estudio para diversos procesos socioculturales contemporáneos; discusiones conceptuales en torno a la idea de políticas culturales en el marco de los procesos de globalización contemporáneos; las relaciones entre actores sociales globales y locales en la producción de representaciones sociales políticamente significativas."

Book excerpt: Hoy se discute mucho sobre la globalizacion, pero los debates se restringen a los discursos disciplinarios especificos. Por primera vez, en este libro se reune una teoria social y el enfoque de estudios culturales para comprender la globalizacion. La obra comienza con un analisis de la relacion entre el proceso de globalizacion y los cambios contemporaneos en la cultura y se lo asocia con los debates sobre modernidad social y cultural. En la medula del libro esta presente un analisis de gran alcance sobre la compleja y ambigua "experiencia vivida" de la modernidad global. Tomlinson afirma que presenciamos ahora una tendencia general de disolucion de los vinculos entre experiencia cultural y ubicacion territorial. El autor estudia la naturaleza irregular de esta experiencia respecto a las sociedades del Primer y el Tercer Mundos, y reflexiona sobre la hibridacion de las culturas y el papel especial que desempenan las tecnologias de la comunicacion y los medios en este proceso de "desterritorializacion." Globalizacion y cultura concluye con un examen de la politica cultural del cosmopolitismo.

Download or read book Cultures and Globalization written by Helmut K Anheier and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2007-03-27 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the age of globalization we are no longer home alone. Migration brings other worlds into our own just as the global reach of the media transmits our world into the hearts and minds of others. Often incommensurate values are crammed together in the same public square. Increasingly we all today live in the kind of ′edge cultures′ we used to see only on the frontiers of civilizations in places like Hong Kong or Istanbul. The resulting frictions and fusions are shaping the soul of the coming world order. I can think of no other project with the ambitious scope of defining this emergent reality than The Cultures and Globalization project. I can think of no more capable minds than Raj Isar and Helmut Anheier who can pull it off." - Nathan Gardels, Editor-in-Chief, NPQ, Global Services, Los Angeles Times Syndicate/Tribune Media "This series represents an innovative approach to the central issues of globalization, that phenomenon of such undefined contours." - Lupwishi Mbuyumba, Director of the Observatory of Cultural Policies in Africa The world′s cultures and their forms of creation, presentation, and preservation are deeply affected by globalization in ways that are inadequately documented and understood. The Cultures and Globalization Series is designed to fill this void in our knowledge. Analyzing the relationship between globalization and cultures is the aim of the Series. In each volume, leading experts as well as young scholars will track cultural trends connected to globalization throughout the world, covering issues ranging from the role of cultural difference in politics and governance to the evolution of the cultural economy and the changing patterns of creativity and artistic expression. Each volume will also include an innovative presentation of newly developed ′indicator suites′ on cultures and globalization that will be presented in a user-friendly form with a high graphics content to facilitate accessibility and understanding Like so many phenomena linked to globalization, conflicts over and within the cultural realms crystallize great anxieties and illusions, through misplaced assumptions, inadequate concepts, unwarranted simplifications and instrumental readings. The aim here is to marshal evidence from different disciplines and perspectives about the culture, conflict and globalization relationships in conceptually sensitive ways.

Download or read book Creativity and Time A Sociological Exploration written by Juan A. Roche Cárcel and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book defends that the pursuit of originality constitutes one of the most important characteristics of creativity, but that originality refers, etymologically, to both origin and originary. Hence, the book is structured into two parts, dedicated, respectively, to the creative categories of origin and the creative categories of originary. Within the former are creation myths, games – the origin of all cultural activity, the dialectic chaos-order, axial civilizations – the germ of our time, and the struggle between generations – a factor of social transformation, and, within the second, creative capitalism, creative work in the context of the global economy of risk and uncertainty, and representative democracy. However, these two concepts are not isolated, but deeply interrelated, in a way that explains how creative originality builds a temporal narrative. It has been dislocated in late modernity and, with it, creativity has been broken.

Download or read book Venezuela written by Steve Ellner and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2006-12-07 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This authoritative book offers a comprehensive assessment of contemporary Venezuela. Analyzing the multifaceted phenomenon of Hugo Chávez, leading scholars move beyond his flamboyant style to focus on the concerns of popular social and political movements. The book challenges the misleading notions that for several decades glorified Venezuelan "exceptionalism" and minimized the role of important actors. After setting the historical and socio-economic contexts, the contributors explore racial issues, social and labor movements, electoral politics, economic and oil policy, and United States support for the Venezuelan opposition. Underscoring the complexity of Chávez and his popularity, the book highlights the need to avoid simplistic assessments of the past and present and offers a clear-eyed understanding of Venezuelan reality today.

Clement, Steve Ellner, Maria Pilar García Guadilla, Daniel Hellinger, Jesús María Herrera Salas, Edgardo Lander, Dick Parker, Miguel Tinker Salas, and Cristóbal Valencia Ramírez

Book excerpt: Cultural Management and Policy in Latin America provides in-depth insights into the education and training of cultural managers from interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives.

In doing so, it unpacks the methods, formats, and narratives employed. Reflecting on emerging and contemporary research topics, the book analyses the key literature and scholarly contexts to identify impacts in the region and beyond. The volume provides scholars, students and reflective practitioners with a comprehensive resource on international cultural management that helps to overcome Western-centric methods and theories.

Download or read book New Approaches to Latin American Studies written by Juan Poblete and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic and research fields are moved by fads, waves, revolutionaries, paradigm shifts, and turns. They all imply a certain degree of change that alters the conditions of a stable system, producing an imbalance that needs to be addressed by the field itself. New Approaches to Latin American Studies: Culture and Power offers researchers and students from different theoretical fields an essential, turn-organized overview of the radical transformation of epistemological and methodological assumptions in Latin American Studies from the end of the 1980s to the present. Sixteen chapters written by experts in their respective fields help explain the various ways in which to think about these shifts. Questions posited include: Why are turns so crucial? How did they alter the shape or direction of the field? What new questions, objects, or problems did they contribute? What were or are their limitations? What did they displace or prevent us from considering? Among the turns included are: memory, transnational, popular culture, decolonial, feminism, affect, indigenous studies, transatlantic, ethical, post/hegemony, deconstruction, cultural policy, subalternism, gender and sexuality, performance, and cultural studies.
