Book Historia m  nima  La cultura mexicana en el siglo XX

Download or read book Historia m nima La cultura mexicana en el siglo XX written by Carlos Monsiváis and published by El Colegio de Mexico AC. This book was released on 2010-02-09 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En esta obra póstuma, Carlos Monsiváis, con su estilo y erudición únicos, recorre un siglo de la vida cultural de México, si bien, como él mismo confiesa, ésta es una tarea inacabable a la que además se suma la brevedad de la obra, que le obliga a cerrar su crónica en la década de 1980, dejando fuera los movimientos y creadores de los dos últimos decenios del siglo XX. Su recorrido parte de la época del modernismo y pasa por todas las manifestaciones culturales que se desarrollan a lo largo de las siguientes décadas, como la narrativa de la Revolución, el muralismo, la cultura en los años veinte, los Contemporáneos, la poesía de la generación del 50 hasta llegar al año de la ruptura que representa 1968 y las manifestaciones culturales que de él se desprenden.

  • Pages : 394 pages

Download or read book Peyote written by Beatriz Caiuby Labate and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-01-18 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains the role that peyote—a hallucinogenic cactus—plays in the religious and spiritual fulfillment of certain peoples in the United States and Mexico, and examines pressing issues concerning the regulation and conservation of peyote as well as issues of indigenous and religious rights. Why is mescaline—an internationally controlled substance derived from peyote—given exemptions for religious use by indigenous groups in Mexico, and by the pan-indigenous Native American Church in the United States and Canada? What are the intersections of peyote use, constitutional law, and religious freedom? And why are natural populations of peyote in decline—so much so that in Mexico, peyote is considered a species needing "special protection"? This fascinating book addresses these questions and many more. It also examines the delicate relationship between "the needs of the plant" as a species and "the needs of man" to consume the species for spiritual purposes. The authors of this work integrate the history of peyote regulation in the United States and the special "trust responsibility" relationship between the American Indians and the government into their broad examination of peyote, a hallucinogenic cactus containing mescaline that grows naturally in Mexico and southern Texas. The book's chapters document how when it comes to peyote, multiple stakeholders' interests are in conflict—as is often the case with issues that involve ethnic identity, religion, constitutional interpretation, and conservation. The expansion of peyote traditions also serves as a foundation for examining issues of international human rights law and protections for religious freedom within the global milieu of cultural transnationalism.

Book Puntos de cultura

Download or read book Puntos de cultura written by Célio Turino and published by RGC Ediciones. This book was released on 2022-01-21 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Puntos de cultura: Cultura viva en movimiento es la traducción al español del libro escrito por Célio Turino sobre su experiencia en la construcción de la política cultural que mejor ha vinculado las ideas de emancipación y protagonismo social con una acción de gobierno: el programa Cultura Viva, cuyo componente principal son los Puntos de Cultura. Este libro posee múltiples dimensiones para su lectura. Por un lado, significa un importante aporte para el estudio de la gestión cultural y las políticas culturales. En este sentido, serán protagonistas las discusiones sobre el rol del Estado; los productores culturales; las organizaciones sociales; la articulación de redes y la construcción de políticas públicas. Por otro lado, Puntos de cultura: Cultura viva en movimiento se constituye como una cartografía del cuerpo cultural brasileño que proveerá un guía para aprender sobre un Brasil que es mucho más diverso que la típica ecuación que se sintetiza en fútbol, samba y carnaval. En este sentido, serán protagonistas las diversas geoculturas que integran ese inmenso país-continente, desde el maracatú nordestino hasta el hip hop urbano y desde el acarajé bahiano hasta cimarrão gaucho. La publicación en español de Puntos de cultura: Cultura viva en movimiento pretende ofrecer una herramienta más para la discusión sobre nuevas configuraciones regionales y políticas culturales. En la actualidad, casi diez años después de su primera aparición en el Brasil, los Puntos de Cultura se expanden por todo el continente latinoamericano, generando políticas públicas de apoyo a la cultura comunitaria y vertebrando una impresionante red de nodos desde donde nuestro pueblo puede construir sus producciones culturales a partir de sus historias, sus prácticas y sus emociones.

Book Metabolismo Cultural Como Estrategia para Preservar la Identidad Cultural y Ecol  Gica

Download or read book Metabolismo Cultural Como Estrategia para Preservar la Identidad Cultural y Ecol Gica written by Reinhard Senkowski and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estamos proyectando el análisis de una metamorfosis global en la actualidad, como los cambios de identidades en el proceso de transformación cultural. En consecuencia, buscamos un concepto de intercambio cultural, como una síntesis de diferentes factores y dimensiones en el mundo multi e intercultural. Igualmente, queremos enfocar los elementos etnoecológicos, tanto regionales como globales, para el establecimiento de una visión holística y armoniosa. Además, planeamos desarrollar criterios para una Didáctica de la Cosmovisión con paradigmas nuevos del Metabolismo Cultural como una opción frente al camino actual en el marco de la globalización, concebido como unidimensional y unidireccional, que conduce a un callejón sin salida por la realización de cierta monocultura, una tendencia central, monopólica, racional, fragmentada y material que cosifica el mundo. Lograrlo implica investigar horizontes hacia una concientización y la búsqueda de una convivencia integrativa, armónica e interrelacionada, complementaria que sirva de inspiración en el sentido de un Metabolismo Cultural, como una fórmula y síntesis para convivir en un marco globalizante, sin perder la heterogeneidad de las singularidades del regionalismo biológico y cultural, algo propio de las unidades, que da sentido y función de la sustentabilidad contundente en una totalidad (Holón) continua.

Book We Are the Face of Oaxaca

  • Author : Lynn Stephen
  • Publisher : Duke University Press
  • Release : 2013-10-16
  • ISBN : 0822377500
  • Pages : 367 pages

Download or read book We Are the Face of Oaxaca written by Lynn Stephen and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-16 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A massive uprising against the Mexican state of Oaxaca began with the emergence of the Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca (APPO) in June 2006. A coalition of more than 300 organizations, APPO disrupted the functions of Oaxaca's government for six months. It began to develop an inclusive and participatory political vision for the state. Testimonials were broadcast on radio and television stations appropriated by APPO, shared at public demonstrations, debated in homes and in the streets, and disseminated around the world via the Internet. The movement was met with violent repression. Participants were imprisoned, tortured, and even killed. Lynn Stephen emphasizes the crucial role of testimony in human rights work, indigenous cultural history, community and indigenous radio, and women's articulation of their rights to speak and be heard. She also explores transborder support for APPO, particularly among Oaxacan immigrants in Los Angeles. The book is supplemented by a website featuring video testimonials, pictures, documents, and a timeline of key events.

Book Globalizaciones m  ltiples

Download or read book Globalizaciones m ltiples written by Peter L. Berger and published by Grupo Planeta (GBS). This book was released on 2002-12 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muchas veces invocada, pero escasamente comprendida, la globalizacion es aplaudida como respuesta a todos los problemas del mundo a la vez que se la culpa de ellos, desde la contaminacion hasta la pobreza. En Globalizaciones multiples, Peter L. Berger y Samuel P. Huntington reunen a un elenco de expertos de todo el mundo que dibuja un retrato sutil y lleno de matices mostrando a un tiempo el poder y las consecuencias inesperadas de esta gran fuerza del mundo contemporaneo.En este libro los estereotipos que identifican la globalizacion con el imperialismo estadounidense, por un lado o con una especie de panacea economica por el otro acaban desmoronandose ante el examen riguroso de estos analistas. Al observar la globalizacion en paises como Chile, Japon, Sudafrica, Alemania, Turquia, Hungria, Taiwan, India y Estados Unidos los autores dan fe de la existencia de una cultura global incipiente de marcado origen y contenido estadounidense pero que no es ni una fuerza dirigida desde un centro como en el caso del imperialismo clasico, ni una mera "Disneylandia metastatica." Examinan las corrientes que transmiten esta cultura que van desde una clase mundial de jovenes profesionales hasta las organizaciones no gubernamentales y definen tanto las multiples variantes de la globalizacion -las influencias budistas, la modernidad islamica- como las subglobalizaciones que agrupan regiones enteras. Asimismo los autores llaman la atencion sobre fuerzas globalizadoras que han pasado inadvertidas al examen de los medios de comunicacion como por ejemplo el papel del protestantismo evangelico -que se adapta a los idiomas y las culturas locales e introduce valores estadounidenses caracteristicos-y el delOpus Dei el movimiento catolico conservador que tuvo su origen en Espana.Analitico, intens
