Download or read book From the Ashes of History written by Carlos Aguirre and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The formation, organization, and accessibility of archives and libraries are critical for the production of historical narratives. They contain the materials with which historians and others reconstruct past events. Archives and libraries, however, not only help produce history, but also have a history of their own. From the early colonial projects to the formation of nation states in Latin America, archives and libraries had been at the center of power struggles and conflicting ideas over patrimony and document preservation that demand historical scrutiny. Much of their collections have been lost on account of accidents or sheer negligence, but there are also cases of recovery and reconstruction that have opened new windows to the past. The essays in this volume explore several fascinating cases of destruction and recovery of archives and libraries and illuminate the ways in which those episodes help shape the writing of historical narratives and the making of collective memories.

Download or read book Pensar el siglo XX written by Tony Judt and published by . This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El siglo XX se erige como la edad de las ideas, un tiempo en el que, para bien o para mal, el pensamiento de unos pocos se impuso sobre las vidas de muchos. De una claridad y lucidez sin precedentes, el último libro de Tony Judt, uno de los más incisivos historiadores contemporáneos, está destinado a convertirse en un clásico del pensamiento moderno. Pensar el siglo XX es a la vez un libro de historia, una biografía y un tratado de ética. Es una historia de las ideas políticas modernas en Occidente. Pero es también la biografía intelectual de Judt, nacido en Londres justo después del cataclismo que supusieron la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el Holocausto, cuando el comunismo afianzaba su poder en Europa del Este. La excepcional naturaleza de esta obra se revela en su propia estructura: una serie de conversaciones íntimas con su amigo el historiador Timothy Snyder en las que Judt, con asombrosa elocuencia y erudición, rescata a los pensadores que han dado forma al mundo en que vivimos, presentando sus triunfos y fracasos. Es, por último, una reflexión sobre la necesidad de la perspectiva histórica y de las consideraciones morales en la transformación de nuestra sociedad. Al recuperar lo mejor de la vida intelectual del siglo XX, abre el camino a una moral para el siglo XXI. Este es un libro sobre el pasado pero es también un libro sobre la clase de futuro al que deberíamos aspirar.

Download or read book Law and Society in Latin America written by Cesar Garavito and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, legal thought and practice in Latin America have changed dramatically: new constitutions or constitutional reforms have consolidated democratic rule, fundamental innovations have been introduced in state institutions, social movements have turned to law to advance their causes, and processes of globalization have had profound effects on legal norms and practices. Law and Society in Latin America: A New Map offers the first systematic assessment by leading Latin American socio-legal scholars of the momentous transformations in the region. Through an interdisciplinary and comparative lens, contributors analyze the central advances and dilemmas of contemporary Latin American law. Among them are pioneering jurisprudence and legal mobilization for the fulfillment of socioeconomic rights in a highly unequal region, the rise of multicultural constitutionalism and legal struggles around identity politics, the globalization of legal education and practice, tensions between developmental policies and environmental justice, and the emergence of a regional human rights system. These and other processes have not only radically altered the institutional landscape of the region, but also produced academic and practical innovations that are of global interest and defy conventional accounts of Latin American law inherited from law-and-development studies. Painting a portrait of the new Latin American legal thought for an international audience, Law and Society in Latin America: A New Map will be of particular interest to students of comparative law, legal mobilization, and Latin American politics.

Download or read book Accumulation and Subjectivity written by Karen Benezra and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1970s, sociocultural analysis in Latin American studies has been marked by a turn away from problems of political economy. Accumulation and Subjectivity challenges this turn while reconceptualizing the relationship between political economy and the life of the subject. The fourteen essays in this volume show that, in order to understand the dynamics governing the extraction of wealth under contemporary capitalism, we also need to consider the collective subjects implied in this operation at an institutional, juridical, moral, and psychic level. More than merely setting the scene for social and political struggle, Accumulation and Subjectivity reveals Latin America to be a cauldron for thought for a critique of political economy and radical political change beyond its borders. Combining reflections on political philosophy, intellectual history, narrative, law, and film from the colonial period to the present, it provides a new conceptual vocabulary rooted in the material specificity of the region and, for this very reason, potentially translatable to other historical contexts. This collection will be of interest to scholars of Marxism, Latin American literary and cultural studies, and the intellectual history of the left.
Download or read book Finding Europe written by Anthony Molho and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last decade or so, many books have been devoted to the history of Europe.Two conceptual axes predominate in a large number of these accounts: a discourse focusing on Europe’s values, and another discourse, fashioned largely in opposition to the first, which emphasizes the process of European “construction.” The first conceives of Europe’s past teleologically, as a process by which certain values (Christian ethics, individualism, capitalism, tolerance, republicanism, due process, etc.) were affirmed and came to define European culture. The second approach rejects the discourse on values emphasizes the post-Enlightenment emergence of the concept of Europe, and the political and ideological implications in its continuous redefinitions (and re elaborations) during the past two or more centuries. This volume offers new approaches that integrate the long temporal dimension of the values-based approach, albeit devoid of its teleological element, with the “constructivist” interpretation.
Download or read book Open City written by Almudena Ribot and published by Actar D, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication inquires into the future of post-industrial cities framing and speculating on different industrial contexts: archipelagos (Eibar), fabrics (Cobo Calleja), assemblies (Detroit). Currently 55% of the world’s population lives in cities, predictably reaching 70% in 2050. Cities are organisms in continuous transformation: growth, change, but also shrinking or collapse. Open City explores and speculates from contemporaneity about the future of the post-industrial city, where industrial archipelagoes (S), frames (XL) and obsolete or deprogrammed singularities (M/L) represent critical contexts but also opportunities for a new Open City. Open Systems have been the research focus of CoLab since 2013. This book collects some relevant and engagingly contemporary insights. It also includes new unpublished interviews and articles with international participants leading players in this field. CoLaboratorio is a research, prototyping and production space. From the contemporary architecture project CoLab works around industrialization, flexible systems, project participation and collaborative dynamics. With Contributions of: Pier Vittorio Aureli, Marta Catalán, Klaske Havik & Hans Teerds, Juan Herreros, Andrés Jaque, Momoyo Kaijima, María Langarita & Víctor Navarro, Philipp Oswalt, Cedric Price, Andrés de las Alas & Alberto López, Colectivo Berreibar, Almudena Ribot, Enrique Espinosa, Diego García-Setién, Begoña de Abajo, Gaizka Altuna.

Download or read book Latin American Literature in Transition 1800 1870 Volume 2 written by Ana Peluffo and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-12-08 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin American Literature in Transition 1800-1870 uses affect as an analytical tool to uncover the countervailing forces that shaped Latin American literatures and cultures during the first six decades of the nineteenth century. Chapters provide perspectives on colonial violence and its representation, on the development of the national idea, on communities within and beyond the nation, and on the intersectional development of subjectivity during and after processes of cultural and political independence. This volume includes interdisciplinary approaches to nineteenth-century Latin American cultures that range from visual and art history to historiography to comparative literature and the study of literary and popular print culture. This book engages with the complex and sometimes counterintuitive relationship between felt ideas of community and the political changes that shaped these affective networks and communities.
Download or read book Un Pensamiento Cada D a written by Gustavo Le N. and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un día, sin un pretendido vuelo de poeta sino más bien en humilde intento de planeo trovador, inicié este proyecto que llamé "Un pensamiento cada día", con la idea de registrar un borrador de reflexiones diarias. Sin pretender ser un conocedor he abordado diferentes temas y diferentes estructuras literarias tratando de experimentar en varias formas de escribir y decir cosas. El hecho de publicar inicialmente en un medio tan interactivo como lo es un Blog de Internet, me ha permitido entender que aún sin ser un escritor de profesión, existen lectores a quienes les gusta mi forma de escribir y buscan en mis textos, formas simples que expresen de alguna manera lo que ellos piensan y sienten. El haber alcanzado 215,000 accesos al Blog en poco menos de tres años ha sido un motivador clave para buscar otras formas de difusión como son el libro impreso y el formato digital.
