Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transformar nuestra actual forma de vida en otra distinta en la que sea posible la vida digna de toda la humanidad y también la supervivencia de la naturaleza, requiere la elaboración de otro tipo de conocimiento, racionalidad y sabiduría. Ya no basta con elaborar otras alternativas económicas, sean poscapitalista, socialista, comunitaria o transmoderna, sino que hay que generar los conceptos y categorías con los cuales hacer inteligible, pensable y posible esta nueva opción. Hoy, en América Latina se ven claramente las perversas consecuencias que la modernidad, como alienante forma de vida, ha causado desde hace más de 500 años, pero también se vislumbran las posibles salidas del engaño en el que nos ha sumido esta ideología. En esta obra excepcional se recogen esas reflexiones pero no sólo en los planos testimonial, histórico, literario o ensayístico, sino también en el filosófico. Heidegger explicaba, al final de su vida, que lo que en verdad se cuestionaba en la pregunta que interrogaba por el sentido de la filosofía, era la existencia misma de la tradición europeo-occidental. En este sentido, la filosofía por la que se aboga en este libro ya no es la moderna sino una filosofía transmoderna, que no parta de la tradición de Occidente sino de lo que ésta siempre ha negado y excluido.

Download or read book Indigenous and Popular Thinking in Am rica written by Rodolfo Kusch and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-07 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in Mexico in 1970, Indigenous and Popular Thinking in América is the first book by the Argentine philosopher Rodolfo Kusch (1922–79) to be translated into English. At its core is a binary created by colonization and the devaluation of indigenous practices and cosmologies: an opposition between the technologies and rationalities of European modernity and the popular mode of thinking, which is deeply tied to Indian ways of knowing and being. Arguing that this binary cuts through América, Kusch seeks to identify and recover the indigenous and popular way of thinking, which he contends is dismissed or misunderstood by many urban Argentines, including leftist intellectuals. Indigenous and Popular Thinking in América is a record of Kusch's attempt to immerse himself in the indigenous ways of knowing and being. At first glance, his methodology resembles ethnography. He speaks with and observes indigenous people and mestizos in Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina. He questions them about their agricultural practices and economic decisions; he observes rituals; he asks women in the market the meaning of indigenous talismans; he interviews shamans; he describes the spatial arrangement and the contents of shrines, altars, and temples; and he reproduces diagrams of archaeological sites, which he then interprets at length. Yet he does not present a "them" to a putative "us." Instead, he offers an inroad to a way of thinking and being that does not follow the logic or fit into the categories of Western social science and philosophy. In his introduction, Walter D. Mignolo discusses Kusch's work and its relation to that of other twentieth-century intellectuals, Argentine history, and contemporary scholarship on the subaltern and decoloniality.

Download or read book A Companion to Latin American Literature and Culture written by Sara Castro-Klaren and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-21 with total page 723 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A COMPANION TO LATIN AMERICAN LITERATURE AND CULTURE “The work contains a wealth of information that must surely provide the basic material for a number of study modules. It should find a place on the library shelves of all institutions where Latin American studies form part of the curriculum.” Reference Review “In short, this is a fascinating panoply that goes from a reevaluation of pre-Columbian America to an intriguing consideration of recent developments in the debate on the modem and postmodern. Summing Up: Recommended.” CHOICE A Companion to Latin American Literature and Culture reflects the changes that have taken place in cultural theory and literary criticism since the latter part of the twentieth century. Written by more than thirty experts in cultural theory, literary history, and literary criticism, this authoritative and up-to-date reference places major authors in the complex cultural and historical contexts that have compelled their distinctive fiction, essays, and poetry. This allows the reader to more accurately interpret the esteemed but demanding literature of authors such as Jorge Luis Borges, Mario Vargas Llosa, Octavio Paz, and Diamela Eltit. Key authors whose work has defined a period, or defied borders, as in the cases of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, César Vallejo, and Gabriel García Márquez, are also discussed in historical and theoretical context. Additional essays engage the reader with in-depth discussions of forms and genres, and discussions of architecture, music, and film This text provides the historical background to help the reader understand the people and culture that have defined Latin American literature and its reception. Each chapter also includes short selected bibliographic guides and recommendations for further reading.

Download or read book Una filosof a para Am rica Latina written by José Pablo Feinmann and published by Planeta Argentina. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Existe la filosofía latinoamericana? Si nos remitimos a Heidegger –dice José Pablo Feinmann– o a Hans-Georg Gadamer, que afirman que la filosofía sólo se expresa en alemán, diríamos que no. Sin embargo, si atendemos a los intentos de liberación en América Latina y al pensamiento y la praxis de los personajes que los encarnaron, el panorama es muy distinto. A través de un recorrido fascinante por las ideas de Bolívar, el Che, John William Cooke, Salvador Allende, José Carlos Mariátegui o la Revolución Mexicana –entre otros procesos emancipatorios–, el autor, filósofo y docente consigue caracterizar un pensamiento propio de América Latina, un pensamiento situado, autónomo, que guardaría la clave de su liberación. No es posible hablar de una filosofía latinoamericana si no se narra el colonialismo, el imperialismo, la modernidad capitalista y la última de sus versiones: la revolución comunicacional. Frente a ello, Feinmann se pregunta: "¿Qué tenemos que oponer?" Lo que el hombre libre ha opuesto siempre a la tiranía: su afirmación como sujeto, su capacidad de negarse al sometimiento. Con la claridad y la pasión que lo caracterizan, Feinmann propone pensar este continente, agredido desde tiempos inmemoriales, como modo de oponerse a todo proyecto que lo sojuzgue. "Los sujetos que pensaron libremente lo hicieron porque estaban en profundo desacuerdo con la realidad que vivían. Pensaron para transformarla. La filosofía es amor al conocimiento. Y si el conocimiento no sirve para algo, no sirve para nada", dice Feinmann y nos invita al pensamiento como conquista de la libertad.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los ensayos del presente volumen fueron escritos durante la última década y reflexionan acerca de una serie de temas que se encuentran presentes en la obra de Juan Rulfo. Estos temas pueden resumirse en cuatro conceptos: el espacio, la sociedad, la concepción de la realidad, y la marginalidad. Ellos exploran la concepción del espacio tal como aparece tratada en los trabajos literarios y visuales del escritor mexicano; la insersión del autor y de su obra en la circunstancia histórica de la sociedad mexicana de mediados de siglo, así como de los eventos que sus escritos reflejan; las maneras de pensar propias de las poblaciones indígenas y campesinas de América Latina, su concepción de la realidad y del universo, que generalmente se oponen a las maneras del pensar occidental; y la noción de marginalidad que permea la obra de Rulfo. Estos conceptos guían el estudio de la obra rulfiana, que aun hoy día genera lecturas ricas y novedosas.
Download or read book The Latin American Casebook written by Juan F. Gonzalez-Bertomeu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-20 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally relegated because of political pressure and public expectations, courts in Latin America are increasingly asserting a stronger role in public and political discussions. This casebook takes account of this phenomenon, by offering a rigorous and up-to-date discussion of constitutional adjudication in Latin America in recent decades. Bringing to the forefront the development of constitutional law by Latin American courts in various subject matters, the volume aims to highlight a host of creative arguments and solutions that judges in the region have offered. The authors review and discuss innovative case law in light of the countries’ social, political and legal context. Each chapter is devoted to a discussion of a particular area of judicial review, from freedom of expression to social and economic rights, from the internalization of human rights law to judicial checks on the economy, from gender and reproductive rights to transitional justice. The book thus provides a very useful tool to scholars, students and litigants alike.
