Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultura Viva Comunitaria. Políticas Culturales en Brasil y América Latina de Alexandre Santini, con la presentación de Juca Ferreira (ex Ministro de Cultura de Brasil), cuenta, define y sistematiza el desarrollo y los hitos más importantes dentro del campo de la política cultural en Brasil y Latinoamérica en las primeras décadas del siglo XXI. En paralelo con una minuciosa reconstrucción de las características y el alcance del programa Cultura Viva y de los Puntos de Cultura, el autor ensaya una aguda reflexión sobre la democracia, la horizontalidad, la participación, la comunicación comunitaria y el diálogo de la sociedad civil con el Estado para la implementación de políticas públicas. Y también señala, con claridad, cuáles fueron los logros de los gobiernos de corte progresista que irrumpieron en América Latina tras la experiencia neoliberal de los años noventa, así como las limitaciones que estos encontraron para llevar adelante reformas políticas, económicas, sociales y culturales profundas, estructurales y permanentes.

Artículos y discursos de Juca Ferreira parte de una selección de textos del ex Ministro de Cultura de Lula y Dilma posteriores a 2011, e incluye la incorporación de unos pocos discursos de la etapa anterior, fundamentalmente aquellos emitidos en momentos de las transmisiones de cargo en 2003, 2008, 2011 y 2015, incluyendo, como epílogo, el paradigmático discurso de Gilberto Gil de 2003. Durante estos períodos Brasil ha sido uno de los principales referentes de la renovación de las políticas culturales en América Latina, asumiendo un liderazgo internacional sin precedentes, como por ejemplo sucedió con la sanción de la Convención para la Promoción y Protección de la Diversidad de las Expresiones Culturales en las Naciones Unidas, o en la creación de la política de Puntos de Cultura, que luego fue replicado por otros países de latinoamérica. Protagonista, junto a Gilberto Gil en sus comienzos, y luego en la conducción de los procesos de las políticas culturales brasileñas, Juca es un gestor cultural comprometido con el desarrollo de la democracia cultural presente en la mayoría de las luchas del campo cultural de las últimas décadas. Sus artículos y discursos presentan una gran vigencia y posibilitan e invitan a un debate necesario y fundamental para entender los procesos culturales contemporáneos.

Download or read book Cultural Management and Policy in Latin America written by Raphaela Henze and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-19 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural Management and Policy in Latin America provides in-depth insights into the education and training of cultural managers from interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives. The book focuses on the effects of neoliberalism on cultural policies across the region, and questions how cultural managers in Latin America deal not only with contemporary political challenges but also with the omnipresent legacy of colonialism. In doing so, it unpacks the methods, formats, and narratives employed. Reflecting on emerging and contemporary research topics, the book analyses the key literature and scholarly contexts to identify impacts in the region and beyond. The volume provides scholars, students and reflective practitioners with a comprehensive resource on international cultural management that helps to overcome Western-centric methods and theories.

This book was released on 2010-02-09 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En esta obra póstuma, Carlos Monsiváis, con su estilo y erudición únicos, recorre un siglo de la vida cultural de México, si bien, como él mismo confiesa, ésta es una tarea inacabable a la que además se suma la brevedad de la obra, que le obliga a cerrar su crónica en la década de 1980, dejando fuera los movimientos y creadores de los dos últimos decenios del siglo XX. Su recorrido parte de la época del modernismo y pasa por todas las manifestaciones culturales que se desarrollan a lo largo de las siguientes décadas, como la narrativa de la Revolución, el muralismo, la cultura en los años veinte, los Contemporáneos, la poesía de la generación del 50 hasta llegar al año de la ruptura que representa 1968 y las manifestaciones culturales que de él se desprenden.

Download or read book Untold Stories of the Spanish Civil War written by Raanan Rein and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-23 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first scholarly volume to offer an insight into the less known stories of women, children, and international volunteers in the Spanish Civil War. Special attention is given to volunteers of different historical experiences, especially Jews, and voices from less researched countries in the context of the Spanish war, such as Palestine and Turkey. Of an interdisciplinary nature, this volume brings together historians and literary scholars from different countries. Their research is based on newly found primary sources in both national and private archives, as well as on post-essentialist methodological insights for women’s history, Jewish history, and studies on belonging. By bringing together a group of emerging and senior scholars from different countries, we highlight the polyphony of voices of diverse individuals drawn into the Spanish Civil War. Contributors to this volume have explored new or little researched primary sources found in archives and documentary centers, including papers held by relatives of the people we study. The volume is aimed at both scholarly and non-scholarly public, including any readers interested in the Spanish Civil War, twentieth-century European history, Jewish studies, women’s history, or anti-Fascism. The volume can be used in both undergraduate college courses and in postgraduate university seminars.

Download or read book Carlos Monsiv is written by Linda Egan and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2001-09 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of MexicoÕs foremost social and political chroniclers and its most celebrated cultural critic, Carlos Monsiv‡is has read the pulse of his country over the past half century. The author of five collections of literary journalism pieces called cr—nicas, he is perhaps best known for his analytic and often satirical descriptions of Mexico CityÕs popular culture. This comprehensive study of Monsiv‡isÕs cr—nicas is the first book to offer an analysis of these works and to place Monsiv‡isÕs work within a theoretical framework that recognizes the importance of his vision of Mexican culture. Linda Egan examines his ideology in relation to theoretical postures in Latin America, the United States, and Europe to cast Monsiv‡is as both a heterodox pioneer and a mainstream spokesman. She then explores the poetics of the contemporary chronicle in Mexico, reviewing the genreÕs history and its relation to other narrative forms. Finally, she focuses on the canonical status of Monsiv‡isÕs work, devoting a chapter to each of his five principal collections. Egan argues that the five books that are the focus of her study tell a story of ever-renewing suspense: we cannot know Òthe endÓ until Monsiv‡is is through constructing his literary project. Despite this, she observes, his work between 1970 and 1995 documents important discoveries in his search for causes, effects, and deconstructions of historical obstacles to MexicoÕs passage into modernity. While anthropologists and historians continue to introduce new paradigms for the study of MexicoÕs cultural space, EganÕs book provides a reflexive twist by examining the work of one of the thinkers who first inspired such a critical movement. More than an appraisal of Monsiv‡is, it offers a valuable discussion of theoretical issues surrounding the study of the chronicle as it is currently practiced in Mexico. It balances theory and criticism to lend new insight into the ties between Mexican society, social conscience, and literature.

Download or read book A History of Book Publishing in Contemporary Latin America written by Gustavo Sorá and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-08 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a cultural history of Latin America as seen through a symbolic good and a practice – the book, and the act of publication – two elements that have had an irrefutable power in shaping the modern world. The volume combines multiple theoretical approaches and empirical landscapes with the aim to comprehend how Latin American publishers became the protagonists of a symbolic unification of their continent from the 1930s through the 1970s. The Latin American focus responds to a central point in its history: the effective interdependence of the national cultures of the continent. Americanism, until the 1950s, or Latin Americanism, from the onset of the Cold War, were moral frameworks that guided publishers’ thinking and actions and had concrete effects on the process of regional integration. The illustration of how Latin American publishing markets were articulated opens up broader and comparative questions regarding the ways in which the ideas embodied in books also sought to unify other cultural areas. The intersection of cultural, political and economic themes, as well as the style of writing, makes this book an interest to a wide reading public with historical and sociological sensitivity and global cultural curiosity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the explosion of the indignados movement beginning in 2011, there has been a renewed interest in the concept of the “public sphere” in a Spanish context: how it relates to society and to political power, and how it has evolved over the centuries. The Configuration of the Spanish Public Sphere brings together contributions from leading scholars in Hispanic studies, across a wide range of disciplines, to investigate various aspects of these processes, offering a long-term, panoramic view that touches on one of the most urgent issues for contemporary European societies.
