Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like many countries around the world, Chile is undergoing a political moment when the nature of democracy and its political and legal institutions are being challenged. Senior Chilean legal scholar and constitutional historian Pablo Ruiz-Tagle provides an historical analysis of constitutional change and democratic crisis in the present context focused on Chilean constitutionalism. He offers a comparative analysis of the organization and function of government, the structure of rights and the main political agents that participated in each stage of Chilean constitutional history. Chile is a powerful case study of a Latin American country that has gone through several threats to its democracy, but that has once again followed a moderate path to rebuild its constitutional republican tradition. Not only the first comprehensive study of Chilean constitutional history in the English language from the nineteenth-century to the present day, this book is also a powerful defence of democratic values.

Book excerpt: Para contribuir a este esfuerzo de polemología comparada, el presente volumen reúne una selección de trabajos presentados en varios eventos académicos, organizados conjuntamente por el Instituto Francés de Estudios Andinos (IFEA), el Instituto de Estudios Peruanos (IEP), la Red para el Desarrollo de las Ciencias Sociales en el Perú, el Colectivo por las Casas de la Memoria y la Embajada de Francia en el Perú, cuyo tema recurrente fue el de la memoria y la violencia política. Estos eventos se propusieron producir una aproximación a la naturaleza compleja de la violencia en el mundo contemporáneo. En este sentido, se privilegiaron miradas transversales que – más allá de los campos disciplinarios – nos permiten recuperar lo subjetivo en la lógica de los actores y los procesos, la densidad histórica y cultural en la que se inscriben dichos procesos, y los mecanismos para superar las experiencias desgarradoras de quienes han sido afectados por la violencia. Del mismo modo, estos eventos se abrieron al tratamiento de la violencia a través de una multiplicidad de escenarios y situaciones, y de una diversidad de enfoques teóricos y conceptuales que, finalmente, permitieron aproximaciones de tipo comparativo, complementario y holístico. Así, los casos de violencia y de recuperación de la memoria en Sudáfrica, Ruanda, Balcanes, Argentina, Guatemala, Colombia y Perú se cruzaron con perspectivas metodológicas de índole filosófica, política, jurídica o estética, en una apuesta por conseguir, en la intersección de estas miradas y de estos casos, un perfil o un patrón de la antropología política de la violencia actual, sus secuelas y las formas sociales de vida en común que pueden surgir después de ella.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The one source that sets reference collections on Latin American studies apart from all other geographic areas of the world.... The Handbook has provided scholars interested in Latin America with a bibliographical source of a quality unavailable to scholars in most other branches of area studies." —Latin American Research Review Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon, of the Library of Congress Hispanic Division, has been the editor since 2000, and Katherine D. McCann has been assistant editor since 1999. The subject categories for Volume 60 are as follows: Art History (including ethnohistory) Literature (including translations from the Spanish and Portuguese) Music Philosophy: Latin American Thought

Download or read book Interrogating Trauma written by Mick Broderick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-27 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the past century, traumatic experiences have been re-enacted frequently by evolving media and art forms. Now there is a significant body of theory across academic disciplines focused on the representation of cataclysmic European and US historical events. However, less critical attention has been devoted to the representation of havoc outside the West, even though depictions of Third-World disasters saturate contemporary media and art around the globe. This book considers traumatic histories internationally in a broad range of creative arts and visual media representations. Deploying diverse applications of the conventional theories of trauma, it examines the theoretical limitations at the same time as considering alternative methodologies. Interrogating Trauma is concerned with the examination of the concept of trauma, and how it is (often unproblematically) used to theorise the cultural representation of disaster and atrocity. It offers a theorisation of trauma, in order to reappraise the relationship between cultural representation and the socio-historical processes which are marked by violence, conflict and suffering. This book was published as a special issue of Continuum: Journal of Media and Cultural Studies.

Download or read book A History of Political Murder in Latin America written by W. John Green and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2015-04-27 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This expansive history depicts Latin America's pan-regional culture of political murder. Unlike typical studies of the region, which often focus on the issues or trends of individual countries, this work focuses thematically on the nature of political murder itself, comparing and contrasting its uses and practices throughout the region. W. John Green examines the entire system of political murder: the methods and justifications the perpetrators employ, the victims, and the consequences for Latin American societies. Green demonstrates that elite and state actors have been responsible for most political murders, assassinating the leaders of popular movements and other messengers of change. Latin American elites have also often targeted the potential audience for these messages through the region's various "dirty wars." In spite of regional differences, elites across the region have displayed considerable uniformity in justifying their use of murder, imagining themselves in a class war with democratic forces. While the United States has often been complicit in such violence, Green notes that this has not been universally true, with US support waxing and waning. A detailed appendix, exploring political murder country by country, provides an additional resource for readers.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Latin American Literature and Theater written by Richard Young and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2010-12-18 with total page 749 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Historical Dictionary of Latin American Literature and Theater provides users with an accessible single-volume reference tool covering Portuguese-speaking Brazil and the 16 Spanish-speaking countries of continental Latin America (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela). Entries for authors, ranging from the early colonial period to the present, give succinct biographical data and an account of the author's literary production, with particular attention to their most prominent works and where they belong in literary history. The introduction provides a review of Latin American literature and theater as a whole while separate dictionary entries for each country offer insight into the history of national literatures. Entries for literary terms, movements, and genres serve to complement these commentaries, and an extensive bibliography points the way for further reading. The comprehensive view and detailed information obtained from all these elements will make this book of use to the general-interest reader, Latin American studies students, and the academic specialist.

Download or read book La violencia en la historia written by Juan José Iglesias Rodríguez and published by . This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las ciencias sociales, en general, y la historiografía, en particular, están dedicando una atención cada vez mayor al estudio de la violencia, al análisis de sus orígenes y a la pluralidad de sus manifestaciones. Como cualquier fenómeno, la violencia debe comprenderse en su dimensión histórica. La violencia ha estado presente, bajo diversas formas y con grados de intensidad diversos, en todas las épocas de la Historia. Se trata, pues, de una constante que, sin embargo, no puede ser reducida a los términos de un rasgo estructural del ser humano, sino que necesita de explicación en su respectivo contexto histórico. También es un fenómeno cultural, en tanto que responde a las percepciones, las elaboraciones mentales y los imaginarios de cada sociedad que la experimenta y que la sufre. La historicidad del fenómeno preside, pues, la aproximación a la violencia que este libro colectivo pretende. No se trata de un empeño con pretensiones de exhaustividad, sino de un ejercicio analítico llevado a cabo desde distintos ángulos de la historia y la cultura. El libro integra visiones construidas a partir del análisis de distintas experiencias históricas, incluida la de la creación literaria, y se aproxima a los modernos escenarios sociales del siglo XXI en un intento de comprender con la mayor profundidad posible las causas y manifestaciones de las nuevas formas y discursos sobre la violencia. La idea que ha presidido el proyecto de edición del presente volumen ha sido que este libro pueda llegar a todo tipo de lectores, y no sólo a los especialistas en la materia. Se pretende, de esta forma, ensanchar los márgenes de la reflexión histórica sobre la violencia y hacer partícipe de ella a un público tan amplio como sea posible.

Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Violence in Latin American Literature written by Pablo Baisotti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-28 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook brings together essays from an impressive group of well-established and emerging scholars from all around the world, to show the many different types of violence that have plagued Latin America since the pre-Colombian era, and how each has been seen and characterized in literature and other cultural mediums ever since. This ambitious collection analyzes texts from some of the region's most tumultuous time periods, beginning with early violence that was predominately tribal and ideological in nature; to colonial and decolonial violence between colonizers and the native population; through to the political violence we have seen in the postmodern period, marked by dictatorship, guerrilla warfare, neoliberalism, as well as representations of violence caused by drug trafficking and migration. The volume provides readers with literary examples from across the centuries, showing not only how widespread the violence has been, but crucially how it has shaped the region and evolved over time.

Download or read book ETA s Terrorist Campaign written by Rafael Leonisio and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-28 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the rise and decline of the Basque terrorist group Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA, Basque Homeland and Freedom). ETA declared a unilateral ceasefire in November 2011, bringing to a close a campaign of political violence that started in the late 1960s. By the beginning of the twenty-first century, the overwhelming majority of secession supporters agreed that an independent Basque homeland would be realised through ‘ballots’ and not ‘bullets’. Providing an inter-disciplinary overview of radical Basque nationalism that pays special attention to the drivers for ETA’s decline, defeat and disbandment, this book includes chapters by historians, political scientists and sociologists who offer three important theoretical and empirical contributions to the literature on nationhood and security studies. Firstly the book re-assesses the military conflict that opposed ETA and the Spanish state, by paying special attention to tactical and strategic considerations as well as the counter-terrorist policy itself. Secondly it provides an original interpretation of the politics of fear which surrounded the process of victimization, as well as assessing the extent to which the issue of violence led to the polarisation of citizens. Thirdly the authors examine the historical narratives and rituals that contributed to the production and reproduction of identity binaries and memories of war. Arguing that the defeat of ETA must be contextualised within the strategic evolution of Basque nationalism, the declining resonance of the radical message and the effectiveness of the Spanish counter-terrorist effort, this book is essential reading for students and scholars working in the areas of European politics, nationalism and terrorism studies.

Download or read book Spanish Attitudes Toward Judaism written by Adolfo Kuznitzky and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-09-06 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzing the history of the Jews of Spain from the time of the Visigoths to the present, this study investigates periods of discrimination against converted Jews that went beyond the merely religious, finding similarities to the racial and secular anti-Semitism of modernity. Some scholars have drawn parallels between the Spanish castizo ethnicism embodied in the "cleanliness of blood" statutes and the German volkisch (anti-Semitic) beliefs that sustained Nazism. Others have found Inquisition-like parallels in post-inquisitorial Spain--including during the Spanish Civil War and the Francoist era--a result of the survival of ethno-religious prejudices in a country where there were no Jews. The singularities of Spanish anti-Semitism are revealed in the "Spanish Paradox" of anti-Semitism coexisting with philo-Sephardism and also in the Spanish sensitivity to being viewed as a nation of Jews (the Black Legend). The author examines a historiographical controversy that went beyond scholarship, spilling onto the columns of newspaper polemic.
