Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesús Martín-Barbero es conocido como el «maestro» de los estudios sobre Juventud y el gran especialista en cultura popular. Además, es considerado uno de los mayores expertos a nivel internacional en temas de comunicación, unos de los principales fundadores de los estudios comunicacionales y el autor de la Teoría de la mediación. Es el autor de referencia internacional para los análisis sobre sujetos juveniles y protagonismo social, palimpsestos de identidad, desafíos de la juventud, educación de los jóvenes, mundo digital y transformaciones de la subjetividad. Sus aportes en los estudios sobre la globalización y en la relación entre medios de comunicación y público le han proyectado como uno de los autores más sugestivos y relevantes de la intelectualidad crítica latinoamericana. En las dos últimas décadas, Jesús Martín-Barbero ha recopilado una serie de estimulantes textos sobre los jóvenes, reunidos ahora en este libro. La mayor parte de ellos giran en torno a dos conceptos centrales que el autor utiliza de manera metafórica y que se reflejan en el título. El palimsesto hace referencia a los antiguos pergaminos y remite a la constante rescritura y reciclaje que las culturas juveniles hacen del pasado. El hipertexto, por el contrario, nos conduce a las modernas ciberculturas y a las novedosas formas de comunicación a través de las cuales los jóvenes imaginan el futuro. Este uso creativo sobre ambos conceptos ha tenido un gran impacto en los estudios culturales y sobre la juventud en el ámbito iberoamericano.

Download or read book Meaningful Flesh written by Whitney A. Bauman and published by punctum books. This book was released on 2018 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion is much queerer than we ever imagined. Nature is as well. These are the two basic insights that have led to this volume: the authors included here hope to queerly go where no thinkers have gone before. The combination of queer theory and religion has been happening for at least 25 years. People such as John Boswell began to examine the history of religious traditions with a queer eye, and soon after we had the indecent theology of Marcella Althaus Ried. Jay Johnston, one of the authors in this issue, is among those who have used the queer eye to interrogate authority within Christian theological traditions. At the same time, there have been many queer interrogations of "nature," perhaps most notably in the works of Joan Roughgarden and Ann Fausto-Sterling, and more recently in the works of Catriona Sandilands and Timothy Morton (an author in this volume). However, the intersections of religion, nature, and queer theory have been largely left untouched. With the exception of Dan Spencer, who writes the introduction for this volume and is one of the early pioneers in this realm of thought with his book Gay and Gaia (Pilgrim Press, 1996), and the work of Greta Gaard in developing a queer ecofeminist thought, religion and nature, or religion and ecology, have largely ignored the realm of queer theory. In part, the blinders to queer theory on the part of eco-thinkers (religious or otherwise) are similar to the blinders eco-thinkers have when it comes to postmodern thought in general: namely, if there are no absolute foundations, how does one create an environmental ethic and a "nature" to save? For this reason and many others, this volume on religion, nature, and queer theory is groundbreaking. Though these essays span many different disciplines and themes, they are all held together by the triple focus on religion, nature, and queer theory. Each of these essays offers a unique contribution to the intersection of religion, nature, and queer theory, and all of them challenge strict boundaries proposed in religious rhetoric and many discourses surrounding "nature." Carol Wayne White's essay draws from a queer reading of James Baldwin to develop an African American religious naturalism, which highlights humans as polyamorous bastards. Jacob Erickson's essay examines Isabella Rossellini's "Green Porno" and Martin Luther's work to develop an irreverent theology. Jay Johnston draws from personal relationships with his late dog, and Master/Pup fetish-play to blur the boundaries between humans and other animals, specifically within ethical and theological discourse. Whitney Bauman reflects on how the very processes of globalization and climate change queer our identities and call for a queer and versatile planetary ethic. Finally, Timothy Morton leads us through a reflection on queer green sex toys to challenge the ontology of agrologistics. Each of these essays in their own way is concerned with fleshing out more meaningful encounters with the planetary community. Without being too ambitious, we hope that these sets of essays will help to open up a new trajectory of conversations at the intersection of religion, nature, and queer theory.

Download or read book Post Popular Cultures and Digital Capitalism in Latin America written by Pablo Alabarces and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-08 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, renowned Latin American intellectuals, Pablo Alabarces and Néstor García Canclini, bring us up to date on the changes in the status and role of the popular classes in Latin American democracies over the past two decades. Building on decades-long research and experience in the field of cultural studies, the authors ask how the digitalization and economization of society are changing the reality of political participation and social inequality in Latin America and beyond, leading to new forms of economic and cultural marginalization. García Canclini focuses on the rapid digitalization of our society and economies, ruminating over the future of political participation and democracy in the coming age of algorithms, transnationalization, and social precarity for growing swaths of the population. By contrast, Alabarces focuses on the disintegration and commodification of popular cultures throughout Latin America in the last two decades and discusses the consequences on democratic projects in the region. Both pieces approach the question of how democratic projects on a local, regional, national, and transnational level can deal with galloping social disintegration and accelerating political discontent as an increasing number of people within the course of this digital revolution gain voice: all this against the authoritarian or technocratic alternatives that have been gaining ground again. The introduction by Sarah Corona contextualizes the contributions and their authors in the academic and political debate. She connects their focus on popular cultures to broader questions regarding the future of nation-states and democracies facing multiple crises in the region and beyond. Post-Popular Cultures and Digital Capitalism in Latin America will be of interest to researchers and postgraduate students in political science, sociology, and cultural studies looking to freshen their views as well as develop an understanding of the Global South’s perspective on current global issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phenomena such as the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change, or the surge of political populism show that the current phase of accelerated globalization is over.

Download or read book Handbook on Cuban History Literature and the Arts written by Mauricio A. Font and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-02 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2016. If scholarship on Cuban studies after the 1959 revolution focused on the historical and cultural aspects of the construction of a socialist order, the post-1989 crisis of socialism in Central and Eastern Europe raised questions about the island’s state as a socialist model. The scholarly gaze gradually began to focus on possibilities for alternative transformations at various levels of social life rather than on the deepening of traditional twentieth-century state socialism. This volume explores the newly emergent themes and debates about Cuban society and history.
