Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Le temps de la politique aurait-il expiré ? Ou alors, le politique ne se serait-il pas déplacé ailleurs que dans les lieux historiquement établis pour le domestiquer ? C'est autour de ces questions que s'organise cet ouvrage réunissant des chercheurs d'horizons disciplinaires variés, soucieux de réfléchir à la question du politique en l'Amérique latine de ce début de millénaire. Mais des gouvernements, des institutions et des espaces définis et légitimés comme relevant du politique, il ne sera point question. Loin du champ constitué de la politique, les analyses ici présentées montrent l'indétermination des formes et des espaces de constitution du politique, la porosité des frontières entre les " champs " du social, les pratiques visibles ou silencieuses de décalage qui sont autant d'occasions de surgissement du politique. La question posée est celle de la force politique de l'antipolitique : le mouvement de " dépérissement du politique " que connaît l'Amérique latine depuis une vingtaine d'années représente bien un projet politique de technicisation moralisante des décisions publiques. Qualifier " d'a-politiques " non seulement les politiques publiques, mais aussi le travail, la religion, la justice et la question de Droits, c'est par là même évacuer l'autoconstitution des sujets populaires en sujets politiques. Les textes réunis dans cet ouvrage prennent le contrepied de cette morne soumission à l'idée consensuelle de dépolitisation de la société. Leur point de convergence ? Le désir de penser le politique et son ubiquité, ses transformations et ses manifestations intempestives avec, en interstice, son potentiel émancipateur. Le prisme de l'Amérique latine met - cruellement - en lumière des mécanismes de domination qui sont aussi à l'oeuvre sur d'autres continents ; mais aussi les lieux, parfois inattendus, où apparaissent les failles dans cette domination."

This book was released on 2019-05-16 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Régulièrement associé à des personnalités marquantes, chefs d'Etat ou grands intellectuels, le prestige est une caractéristique importante souvent mobilisée dans les analyses des politiques latino-américaines. Cet ouvrage regroupe des contributions qui s'emploient à étudier ce phénomène dans la diversité de ses occurences. Proche du charisme personnel, le prestige politique s'en distingue car il peut s'appliquer également à des institutions, des groupes religieux, des idéologies, des types d'action, et des symboles.
Download or read book Les fronti res du politique en Am rique latine written by Corten André and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2006-10-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il faut changer le monde. Par rapport à cet idéal, le champ politique s'est singulièrement rétréci. Tout semble le réduire aux contraintes de l'économie, plus est, de l'économie mondiale. A partir de deux corpus théoriques confrontés l’un à l’autre, celui de l’ « institution imaginaire de la société » de Castoriadis et celui du « signifiant vide » de Laclau, une conceptualisation des « frontières du politique » est définie et ensuite mise en œuvre. Ce travail pose la question des imaginaires de l’émancipation. Comment les penser en rapport avec la définition des frontières du politique ? Des réponses concrètes sont apportées en rapport avec des conjonctures politiques précises : le Venezuela, l’Argentine, le Mexique, le Brésil et le mouvement indien. Ce livre présente une réflexion fondamentale, théoriquement et méthodologiquement articulée, sur le "changer le monde" aujourd'hui. Il propose un regard pénétrant sur les déplacements des frontières du politique dans de nombreux pays d'Amérique latine.
Download or read book Le pouvoir populaire written by Hector Mendez and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aujourd'hui en Amérique latine, une société qui soit une alternative au capitalisme, démocratique, sans exploitation, défendant des valeurs humanistes et respectant la nature est une idée largement acceptée. La définition d'une stratégie pour cette transformation sociale est l'objet principal des réflexions des courants politiques qui se réclament du pouvoir populaire. Ce livre expose les grandes lignes conceptuelles qui sous-tendent la création et le développement de ce pouvoir ainsi que leur intérêt pour la pensée émancipatrice et la transformation sociale, ici et maintenant.
Download or read book R flexions sur la politique et la culture en Am rique latine written by Cecilia Sanchez and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En s'appuyant sur l'oeuvre de Marcos García, les auteurs de cet ouvrage constatent que c'est l'écroulement de la domination totalitaire qui est à l'origine de la renaissance du politique en Amérique latine. La préoccupation pour la politique s'est renforcée et renouvelée à la suite de cet assaut contre la citoyenneté. Une philosophie politique rénovée sera-t-elle alors le pivot pouvant articuler la tradition critique et la question de l'émancipation ? Il ne s'agit pas ici de récupérer la philosophie politique, mais d'un événement historial : le retour de la politique elle-même.
Download or read book Penser l histoire de l Am rique latine written by Collectif and published by Éditions de la Sorbonne. This book was released on 2020-12-09 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En hommage au très grand historien que fut François-Xavier Guerra (1942- 2002), ce livre réunit dix-huit essais inspirés par son œuvre et son enseignement sur l’Amérique latine contemporaine. Succédant en 1985 à François Chevalier à I université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, F.-X. Guerra fut internationalement connu comme historien des révolutions hispano-américaines : Révolution mexicaine de 1910, révolutions d’indépendance du début du XIXe siècle, à travers lesquelles il s’est consacré à interroger les paradoxes et les dilemmes de l’avènement de la modernité politique. Il les pensait dans le vaste espace transnational qu’il appelait l’Euro-Amérique, où, avec les hommes et les imprimés, circulent et s’échangent les cultures politiques. A travers discussions historiographiques, bilans méthodologiques et cas concrets, les essais ici rassemblés reprennent à nouveaux frais des questions telles que : les modalités de la transition entre ancien régime et société libérale, qui engagent la définition de la modernité politique, mais invitent aussi bien à réfléchir d’un œil neuf aux transitions démocratiques de la fin du XXe siècle, le rôle joué par la sphère publique dans les processus de sécularisation ; les conditions de pertinence de l’identification des acteurs dans l’histoire du politique; ou encore, le questionnement du nationalisme à partir de l’espace euro-américain. Des historiens européens et latino-américains, collègues ou anciens élèves de F.-X. Guerra, poursuivent ainsi le dialogue avec cette œuvre généreuse et féconde qui n’a pas cessé d’irriguer la réflexion des latino-américanistes.

Download or read book Diversity of Capitalisms in Latin America written by Ilán Bizberg and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “One of the definite merits of this book is to cleverly mix a theoretical breakthrough with a meticulous historical and empirical account of the transformations of some key Latin American countries. First, it is at the frontier of a research agenda initiated back to the end of the 1970s, second it clearly distinguishes between an ideal-type approach and the complexity of any specific national configuration and its transformation in history. Furthermore, the author provides decisive arguments against a pure economic determinism too frequently supposed to govern institutions building and reforms. Last but not least, the book culminates by an impressive analysis of the crises that quite any Latin America society experiences at the end the 2010s.” -Robert Boyer, Institut des Amériques, Paris, France. This book defends the idea that there are significant structural and institutional differences between the countries in Latin America. Building off the results of a four-year research project, Bizberg argues against the idea that in Latin America there is one single type of capitalism—a hierarchical one—that is entangled in a vicious cycle. Rather, there are clusters of countries that have had similar historical trajectories, analogous structures, or comparable reactions to changes to the world economy, but have not all followed the same mode of development. Just as analysts have found a variety of capitalisms in developed countries, it is possible to identify the emergence of different types of capitalism in Latin America since the 1980s debt crisis. These varieties of capitalism are defined according to categories—including the articulation to the world economy, the role of the State, the structure of the political system and the action of civil society—which give rise to distinct wage relations, comprising the industrial relations system and the welfare regime.

Download or read book Social Movements in Chile written by Sofia Donoso and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-21 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents rich empirical analyses of the most important movements in Chile’s post-transition era: the Student Movement, the Mapuche Movement, the Labor Movement, the Feminist Movement, and the Environmental Movement. The chapters illuminate the processes that led to their emergence, and detail how actors developed new strategies, or revisited old ones, to influence the political arena. The book also offers contributions that situate these cases both in terms of the general trends in protest in Chile, as well as in comparison to other countries in Latin America. Emphasizing various facets of the debate about the relationship between “institutional” and “non-institutional” politics, this volume not only contributes to the study of collective action in Chile, but also to the broader social movement literature.
Download or read book Cash Transfers in Context written by Jean-Pierre Olivier de Sardan and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2018-09-07 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marginal in status a decade ago, cash transfer programs have become the preferred channel for delivering emergency aid or tackling poverty in low- and middle-income countries. While these programs have had positive effects, they are typical of top-down development interventions in that they impose on local contexts standardized norms and procedures regarding conditionality, targeting, and delivery. This book sheds light on the crucial importance of these contexts and the many unpredicted consequences of cash transfer programs worldwide - detailing how the latter are used by actors to pursue their own strategies, and how external norms are reinterpreted, circumvented, and contested by local populations.
Download or read book Battles for Memory and Justice in Chile written by Joannie Jean and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-02-16 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes how the past and its representation in the public space have been a source of conflict in Chile since the end of the Pinochet regime. From a multi-disciplinary perspective (sociology, anthropology and history), it studies the work of seven organizations of memory and human rights in Santiago, Chile, the struggles in which they are engaged, and the main debates that have arisen in the country around the themes of impunity, truth and memory. Covering the period from 1998 to 2018, this book begins its analysis with the detention of Augusto Pinochet in London and concludes with the end of the second term of Michelle Bachelet. The seven organizations studied range from family groups and survivors to sites of memory and consciousness. Through analyses of the discourses produced by these organizations, it examines particular historical periods(1998-2000, 2001-2008, 2009-2010, 2011-2013 and 2014-2018) by focusing on strong debates and events of these conjunctures in order to highlight the struggles of meaning and the conflicts of legitimacy relating to these times. In concrete terms, particular attention is paid to the analysis of the main themes of litigation, the way in which the actors are mobilized, their objectives and how the past is evoked in the public space. Battles for Memory and Justice in Chile: Struggles for Remembrance, Legitimacy and Accountability will be of interest to researchers from different disciplines and fields of study within the human and social sciences, such as sociologists, historians and anthropologists working in fields such as Latin American studies, sociology of memory, sociology of social movements and human rights studies.

Download or read book The Languages of Politics La politique et ses langages Volume 2 written by Marta Degani and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Languages of Politics/La politique et ses langages provides a multifaceted view of major approaches to the study of political discourse from an interdisciplinary perspective. To date, most contributions to the analysis of political discourse have come from the fields of rhetoric, (critical) discourse analysis, cognitive linguistics, pragmatics, lexicology, lexicography, and, more recently, multimodal discourse analysis. The papers in this volume build their investigations on these perspectives, and provide new and diversified insights into this vast area of research. Besides considering multiple approaches, the book also adds to the current debate on the languages of politics by combining a range of theoretical and methodological considerations, and by featuring contributions in both English and French.
