Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapa Nui, one of the world’s most isolated island societies and home to the notable moai, has been at the centre of a tense debate for the past decade. Some see it as the site of a dramatic cultural collapse occurring before Western contact, where a self-inflicted ecocide was brought on by the exhaustion of resources. Others argue that the introduction of Western pathogens and the slave raids of 1862 were to blame for the near extinction of the otherwise resilient Rapa Nui people. Cultural and Environmental Change on Rapa Nui brings together the latest studies by prominent Rapa Nui researchers from all over the world to explore the island’s past and present, from its discovery by Polynesians, through the first documented contact with Western culture in 1722, to the 20th century. The exiting new volume looks beyond the moai to examine such questions as: was there was a cultural collapse; how did the Rapa Nui react to Westerners; and what responses did the Rapa Nui develop to adjust to naturally- or humanly-induced environmental change? This volume will appeal to scholars and professionals in the fields of history, archaeology and ecology, as well as anyone with an interest in the challenges of sustainable resource management, and the contentious history of Rapa Nui itself.

This book was released on 2018-11-30 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A más de diez años de la creación de «Los Ríos» como nueva región, el desarrollo del territorio en esta parte del sur del país se ha visto expuesto a positivos cambios, tales como un mayor acceso a recursos y al control de la gestión. No obstante, se aprecian también estancamientos en diversas materias que demandan un constante seguimiento y mejoras a la planificación territorial. En la búsqueda de un desarrollo sustentable que permita una alianza virtuosa entre el sector público, privado y la ciudadanía —en armonía con los recursos naturales y el cuidado del medioambiente—, la Universidad Austral de Chile ha jugado un rol preponderante al favorecer la generación de bienes públicos, formando personas altamente calificadas y contribuyendo a la descentralización del conocimiento, la ciencia, la cultura y la tecnología. Este libro presenta diversos artículos, escritos en su mayoría por académicos de la UACh y profesionales vinculados a la casa de estudios, que dan cuenta de este aporte en los ámbitos del desarrollo sustentable, educación, descentralización y gestión, pero más aún, abordan profundos análisis del camino recorrido, proyectando asimismo propuestas para un mejor andar en relación con el progreso del territorio y su gente.

Download or read book Articulating Rapa Nui written by Riet Delsing and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2015-05-31 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking study, Riet Delsing narrates the colonization of the Pacific island of Rapa Nui and its indigenous inhabitants. The annexation of the island by Chile, in the heydays of world imperialism, places the small Latin American country in a unique position in the history of global colonialism. The analysis of this ongoing colonization process constitutes a “missing link” in Pacific Islands studies and facilitates future comparisons with other colonial adventures in the Pacific by the United States (Hawai‘i, American Samoa), France (Tahiti), and New Zealand (Maori and Cook Islands). The first part of the book surveys the history of the Chile–Rapa Nui relationship from its beginning in the 1880s until the present. Delsing delineates the Rapanui people’s agency along with their cultural logic, showing their resilience and will to remain Rapanui— indigenous Pacific islanders rather than an ethnic minority forcefully integrated into the Chilean nation-state. In the second part, the author describes the Rapanui’s contemporary emphasis on the revitalization of their language, traditional concepts about land tenure, a unique corpus of material and performative culture, renewed contact with other Pacific island cultures, and creative acts of resistance against Chilean colonialism. Emergent in her analysis is the effect of Rapa Nui’s vibrant tourist industry—commodification of Rapanui difference is creating the possibility to loosen economic and political ties with Chile. Drawing on statements of several Rapanui, she concludes that over the past few decades they have acquired a different kind of interpretive power, based on which they are making choices that serve them as a people on the road to cultural and political self-determination. Contemporary Rapa Nui is thus a modern, articulated place, marked by spirited identity politics that show the resilience and adaptability of the indigenous people who inhabit this island.
Download or read book Rapa Nui La sociedad de Amigos de Isla de Pascua written by Rolf Foerster and published by Editorial Catalonia. This book was released on 2019 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los diversos avatares de nuestra colonia en la Polinesia -Isla de Pascua- fueron siempre foco de interés para la opinión pública. En las primeras décadas del siglo XX la prensa informaba de los viajes del buque escuela de la Armada o de las naves que arrendaba anualmente la Compañía Explotadora de la Isla de Pascua, apoyando activamente a los rapanui contra sus “opresores” y defendiendo su patrimonio contra las expediciones científicas europeas. Sin embargo, las denuncias de la prensa no abordaban al colonialismo chileno en Rapa Nui. A fines de la década de 1940 se produjo algo inesperado en las relaciones del país con “nuestra lejana posesión en la Polinesia”: un sector de la sociedad civil porteña —y posteriormente de la santiaguina— creó la Sociedad de Amigos de Isla de Pascua (SADIP), institución que debía actuar en los asuntos de Rapa Nui considerando que estaba abandonada y al arbitrio de una compañía extranjera. Este libro relata el proceso de instalación de dicha Sociedad y su posterior fisura interna, reconstruyendo, en parte, su accionar político y filantrópico en lo que llamamos un colonialismo paternal y nacional que persiguió “liberar” a los rapanui (y a Chile) de la presencia extranjera. Sus relatos fueron construidos sobre la base de documentos que aquí se reproducen. Anhelamos que esta obra aporte al conocimiento de la historia y de los conflictos interculturales chilenos. Que contribuya a develar cómo, bajo el ropaje del nacionalismo y de la geopolítica en el Pacífico, se ha corrido un tupido velo sobre nuestro colonialismo en Rapa Nui. Los antecedentes que presentamos permiten forjarse una fundada idea de lo complejo que ha sido ese colonialismo. Esta densidad es una cuestión crucial para las actuales negociaciones de “descolonización” entre los representantes de los clanes (honui) y el Estado de Chile.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Download or read book Nomadic Subjects written by Rosi Braidotti and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-24 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than fifteen years, Nomadic Subjects has guided discourse in continental philosophy and feminist theory, exploring the constitution of contemporary subjectivity, especially the concept of difference within European philosophy and political theory. Rosi Braidotti's creative style vividly renders a productive crisis of modernity. From a feminist perspective, she recasts embodiment, sexual difference, and complex concepts through relations to technology, historical events, and popular culture. This thoroughly revised and expanded edition retains all but two of Braidotti's original essays, including her investigations into epistemology's relation to the "woman question;" feminism and biomedical ethics; European feminism; and the possible relations between American feminism and European politics and philosophy. A new piece integrates Deleuze and Guattari's concept of the "becoming-minoritarian" more deeply into modern democratic thought, and a chapter on methodology explains Braidotti's methods while engaging with her critics. A new introduction muses on Braidotti's provocative legacy.
Download or read book Academic Rebels in Chile written by Ivan Jaksic and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1989-07-03 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many philosophers have been appointed to top-level political positions during Chile's modern history. What makes Chilean philosophers unique in the context of Latin America and beyond, is that they have developed a sophisticated rationale for both their participation and withdrawal from politics. All along, philosophers have grappled with fundamental problems such as the role of religion and politics in society. They have also played a fundamental role in defining the nature and aims of higher education. The philosophers' production constitutes a substantial, albeit largely unknown, portion of the intellectual history of Chile and Latin America. This book describes in detail the evolution of philosophical work in Chile, and pays close attention to the relationship between philosophical activity and contemporary social and political events. Various Chilean philosophical sources are discussed for the first time in the literature on Chilean ideas. The work of such intellectuals as Andres Bello, Valentin Letelier, Enrique Molina, Jorge Millas, Juan Rivano, Juan de Dios Vial Larrain, and many others is examined in relation to the principal political and educational issues of their time. The book also develops a distinction between the two main currents of Chilean philosophy, namely, a "professionalist" current that seeks the independence of the field from social and political involvements, and a "critical" current that seeks to relate philosophical activity to national realities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ugly Stories of the Peruvian Agrarian Reform reveals the human drama behind the radical agrarian reform that unfolded in Peru during the final three decades of the twentieth century. That process began in 1969, when the left-leaning military government implemented a drastic program of land expropriation. Seized lands were turned into worker-managed cooperatives. After those cooperatives began to falter and the country returned to civilian rule in the 1980s, members distributed the land among themselves. In 1995–96, as the agrarian reform process was winding down and neoliberal policies were undoing leftist reforms, the Peruvian anthropologist Enrique Mayer traveled throughout the country, interviewing people who had lived through the most tumultuous years of agrarian reform, recording their memories and their stories. While agrarian reform caused enormous upheaval, controversy, and disappointment, it did succeed in breaking up the unjust and oppressive hacienda system. Mayer contends that the demise of that system is as important as the liberation of slaves in the Americas. Mayer interviewed ex-landlords, land expropriators, politicians, government bureaucrats, intellectuals, peasant leaders, activists, ranchers, members of farming families, and others. Weaving their impassioned recollections with his own commentary, he offers a series of dramatic narratives, each one centered around a specific instance of land expropriation, collective enterprise, and disillusion. Although the reform began with high hopes, it was quickly complicated by difficulties including corruption, rural and urban unrest, fights over land, and delays in modernization. As he provides insight into how important historical events are remembered, Mayer re-evaluates Peru’s military government (1969–79), its audacious agrarian reform program, and what that reform meant to Peruvians from all walks of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume illustrates the sweeping changes in Cuban foreign policy under Raúl Castro. Leading scholars from around the world show how the significant shift in foreign policy direction that started in 1990 after the implosion of the Soviet Union has continued, in many ways taking totally unexpected paths—as is shown by the move toward the normalization of relations with Washington. Providing a systematic overview of Cuba’s relations with the United States, Latin America, Russia, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, this book will be invaluable for courses on contemporary Cuba.
