Download or read book Contra-Cultura written by Luis Miguel Lazo López and published by . This book was released on 2020-12 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El tópico de cada ensayo es argumentado, teorizado y explicado, para después presentar una crítica o cuestionamiento, en otras palabras, se problematiza cada temática. Cada texto es contracultural. Soy un prosista de ensayos, las ideas trazadas son mi derrotero para comprender e interpretar la cultura y culturas del aquí y el ahora. Esa es la senda que he escogido desde los días de mi juventud, hasta ahora no he encontrado otra manera más racional de expresarme y aportar al espacio y tiempo en el cual me ha tocado vivir. Escribo para entender y proponer, y, también para ser contracultural, he ahí la razón de la denominación del libro. Es por eso que, ahora, quiero compartir con todos ustedes mi modesta producción académica e intelectual. Espero que el contenido de estos ensayos te lleve a la reflexión, crítica y problematización social, ya que está dirigido a toda aquella persona que le interese el cosmos cultural de las sociedades contemporáneas. En el caso especificó del texto que tiene en sus manos, se trata de una conjunción de ensayos sobre cultura y culturas, los he escribo en diferentes tiempos y espacios, y por motivos distintos pero a la vez relacionados, ya que cada uno aborda un tópico cultural especifico. Hoy en día los estudios culturales son diversos, cuantiosos y complejos, sobre todo en los escenarios sociales del Perú y Latinoamérica, en donde nuestra dificultosa historia a resultado en un presente bien complicado, difuso y problemático, y que por lo mismo necesita ser explicado, y que mejor que sea a través de ensayos. No pretendo desmerecer la labor de los científicos sociales y sus papers, sino más bien mi intención es complementar o aportar con postulados teóricos y críticos, ya que como bien sabemos en las ciencias sociales y humanidades los ensayos son y han sido básicos y fundamentales para el conocimiento de las sociedades y sus problemas, más aun si se trata de cuestiones culturales, que ameritan una comprensión e interpretación sociológica. Con la preliminar argumentación sobre los ensayos, ahora veamos; el por qué los reunidos en este texto son contraculturales, es decir, ¿Por qué el libro se titula Contracultura? Para la repuesta a esta pregunta, primero voy a conceptualizar la contracultura, y después se va a revisar, a groso modo, el contenido de cada manuscrito, para evidenciar el argumento teórico y crítico de esta categoría. El termino contracultura es relativamente nuevo en las ciencias sociales, se acuño, originalmente, con el texto del historiador estadounidense Theodore Roszak, El nacimiento de una contracultura (1968), en donde se analiza el conflicto generacional, entre jóvenes y adultos, que surge a partir de la sociedad tecnocrática del siglo XX, ya que las juventudes comienzan a enfrentarse a esta estructura social. Es así que, se entiende por contracultura un conjunto de movimientos culturales que rechazan, se oponen y se enfrentan a la cultura dominante o hegemónica. En otras palabras, se trata de un desafío directo al orden socialmente establecido, para lo cual se realizan diversas acciones sociales simbólicas, artísticas, culturales y políticas. Es el cuestionamiento, la crítica y la protesta al sistema social. Para ser más precisos, diríamos que es ir contra la corriente de los valores socioculturales, para buscar nuevas alternativas, paradigmas y derroteros en el aquí y el ahora. Una de las manifestaciones contraculturales más pulidas y efectivas, es la escritura, es decir, la prosa, pero no refiero a los panfletos o discursos banales y fútiles, sino, al arte de la literatura, en mi caso a la ilustración a través de ensayos. En ese sentido, cada escrito es una investigación sesuda con el propósito de teorizar, explicar y criticar cada temática cultural, y así, ir más allá, hacia una mirada contracultural de las sociedades contemporáneas. Se trata de una crítica cultural.
Book Synopsis Narrative and National Alleghory in Rómulo Gallegos's Venezuela by : Jenni Maria Lehtinen
Download or read book Narrative and National Alleghory in Rómulo Gallegos's Venezuela written by Jenni Maria Lehtinen and published by MHRA. This book was released on 2013 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Venezuela's preeminent educator, politician, and most important author Rómulo Gallegos (1884-1969) left a lasting imprint on how Venezuelans conceive of their national history and identity. Jenni Lehtinen offers the first full-length study of Gallegos's later Venezuelan novels, 'Canaima' (1935), 'Pobre negro' (1937), and 'Sobre la misma tierra' (1943), which have been up to now eclipsed by the critical attention devoted to 'Doña Bárbara' (1929). By combining close-readings organized around national allegory and narrative structure with discussions about Gallegos's socio-political essays, the study reveals previously ignored, radical developments in the Venezuelan author's ideologies. Through her bold reinterpretation of the later novels, Lehtinen reveals Gallegos as a far more innovative writer than has been traditionally appreciated. Jenni Lehtinen completed her doctoral studies in Spanish American literature at Wolfson College, University of Oxford, where she has held various teaching posts and lectured on Nation and Narration.

Book Synopsis La prisión y las instituciones punitivas en la investigación histórica by : Pedro Oliver Olmo
Download or read book La prisión y las instituciones punitivas en la investigación histórica written by Pedro Oliver Olmo and published by Universidad de Castilla La Mancha. This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 922 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Historia Social de las Instituciones Punitivas está necesitada en España de encuentro y debate, de confrontación y colaboración entre investigadores e investigadoras. Solo así logrará hacerse visible e inteligible como tendencia historiográfica y sobre todo como apuesta teórico-metodológica, porque de hecho ya es más que creíble como práctica historiográfica. Aquí, en este libro, junto a los logros también se perfilan las carencias y los retos más acuciantes. Lejos de buscar una autonomía extemporánea, la Historia Social de las Instituciones Punitivas quiere buscar su propia viabilidad a base de intersecciones y buenas mezclas. Esos objetivos se planteaba el Grupo de Estudio sobre la Historia de la Prisión y las Instituciones Punitivas (GEHPIP) ―un equipo interuniversitario y con sede en la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM)― al organizar lo que de forma homónima decidió titular I Congreso Internacional sobre Historia de la Prisión y las Instituciones Punitivas, celebrado en Ciudad Real entre el 10 y el 12 de abril de 2013. El libro electrónico que aquí se presenta es una buena muestra de lo que allí se comunicó y discutió. Social History of Punitive Institutions in Spain needs meetings and discussions, comparison and collaboration between researchers. Only then it will become visible and intelligible as a historiographical trend and, above all, as a theoretical-methodological hope, because in fact, now it is more than conceivable as a historiographical practice. Here in this book are outlined, along with the achievements, the shortcomings and the most pressing challenges. Far from seeking an extemporaneous autonomy, Social History of Punitive Institutions wants to try to find its own feasibility based on intersections and good mixings. Those objectives were considered by the Study Group about History of Prison and Punitive Institutions (Grupo de Estudio sobre la Historia de la Prisión y las Instituciones Punitivas, GEHPIP) –an interuniversity team and with central office at Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM)– when organising what it decided to name in an homonymous way 1st International Congress on History of Prison and Punitive Institutions (I Congreso Internacional sobre Historia de la Prisión y las Instituciones Punitivas), held in Ciudad Real (Spain) from 10 to 12 April 2013. The electronic book here presented is a good example of what it was told and discussed there.
Book Synopsis War and Cultural Heritage by : Marie Louise Stig Sørensen
Download or read book War and Cultural Heritage written by Marie Louise Stig Sørensen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-30 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reconstruction of society after conflict is complex and multifaceted. This book investigates this theme as it relates to cultural heritage through a number of case studies relating to European wars since 1864. The case studies show in detail how buildings, landscapes, and monuments become important agents in post-conflict reconstruction, as well as how their meanings change and how they become sites of competition over historical narratives and claims. Looking at iconic and lesser-known sites, this book connects broad theoretical discussions of reconstruction and memorialisation to specific physical places, and in the process it traces shifts in their meanings over time. This book identifies common threads and investigates their wider implications. It explores the relationship between cultural heritage and international conflict, paying close attention to the long aftermaths of acts of destruction and reconstruction and making important contributions through the use of new empirical evidence and critical theory.

Download or read book Painscapes written by EJ Gonzalez-Polledo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings into dialogue approaches from anthropology, sociology, visual art, theatre, and literature to question what kinds of relations, frames and politics constitute pain across disciplines and methodologies. Each chapter offers a unique window onto the notoriously difficult problem of how pain is defined and communicated. The contributors reimagine the value of images and photography, poetry, history, drama, stories and interviews, not as ‘better’ representations of the pain experience, but as devices to navigate the complexity of pain across different physical, social, and intersubjective domains. This innovative collection provides a new access point to the phenomenon of pain and the materialities, affects, structures and institutions that constitute it. This book will appeal to readers seeking to better understand pain’s complexity and the social and affective ecologies through which pain is known, communicated and lived.

Book Synopsis Latin America Writes Back by : Emil Volek
Download or read book Latin America Writes Back written by Emil Volek and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin America has been an important basis for theorizing the postmodern condition and has been the site of some of the most significant contributions to postmodern literature. However, discourses about postmodernity have overwhelmingly been constructed by European and American intellectuals. This book is a groundbreaking collection of essays by Latin American scholars on the theories and practices of postmodernity. It provides an important forum for Latin American intellectuals to shape the debates on postmodernity that are based, to a large degree, on their own cultural and political experiences. Gathering together new and classic essays across a wide range of disciplines and perspectives, this much-needed collection allows some of Latin America's leading cultural critics to write back to their Euro-American counterparts and join the international debate.
Book Synopsis Studies of Childhoods in the Global South by : Afua Twum-Danso Imoh
Download or read book Studies of Childhoods in the Global South written by Afua Twum-Danso Imoh and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-18 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would a body of literature, focusing on Southern childhoods, look like when epistemologically driven by the demands (social, cultural, economic, political) of the localities in which they are shaped and produced? To answer this question, this book explores locally driven perspectives of childhoods in diverse contexts in the Global South to produce knowledge of Southern childhoods determined, not by Northern priorities and frameworks, but by local needs and contexts. Given the intensification of global processes and the extent to which the local and the global intersect in the everyday lives of children and their families, this edited volume demonstrates that a focus on the epistemological demands of localities necessarily grapples with global as well as local processes and concepts. Chapters in this collection include empirical research on child participation and activism, schooling/educational experiences, child work and street children. They use methodologies ranging from arts-based methods to participant observation, and engage with theories relating to child participation, agency and vulnerability to produce a key resource on Southern childhoods. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Third World Thematics.

Book Synopsis Anthropologies of Unemployment by : Jong Bum Kwon
Download or read book Anthropologies of Unemployment written by Jong Bum Kwon and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropologies of Unemployment offers accessible, theoretically innovative, and ethnographically rich examinations of unemployment in rural and urban regions across North and South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. The diversity of case studies demonstrates that unemployment is a pressing global phenomenon that sheds light on the uneven consequences of free-market ideologies and policies. Economic, social, and cultural marginalization is common in the lives of the unemployed, but their experience and interpretation are shaped by local and national cultural particularities. In exploring those differences, the contributors to this volume employ recent theoretical innovations and engage with some of the more salient topics in contemporary anthropology, such as globalization, migration, youth cultures, bureaucracy, class, gender, and race. Taken together, the chapters reveal that there is something new about unemployment today. It is not a temporary occurrence, but a chronic condition. In adjusting to persistent, longstanding unemployment, people and groups create new understandings of unemployment as well as of work and employment; they improvise new forms of sociality, morality, and personhood. Ethnographic studies such as those found in Anthropologies of Unemployment are crucial if we are to understand the broader forms, meanings, and significance of pervasive economic insecurity and discover the emergence of new social and cultural possibilities.
Book Synopsis Travels of the Criminal Question by : Dario Melossi
Download or read book Travels of the Criminal Question written by Dario Melossi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-02-03 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The expression 'the criminal question' does not at present have much currency in English-language criminology. The term was carried across from Italian debates about the orientation of criminology, and in particular debates about what came to be called critical criminology. One definition offered early in the debate described it as 'an area constituted by actions, institutions, policies and discourses whose boundaries shift'. According to this writer, crime, and the cultural and symbolic significance carried by law and criminal justice, is an integral aspect of the criminal question. 'The criminal question' draws attention to the specific location and constitution of a given field of forces, and the themes, issues, dilemmas and debates that compose it. At the same time it enables connections to be made between these embedded realities and the wider, conceivably global, contours of influence and flows of power with which it connects. This in turn raises many questions. How far do the responses to crime and punishment internationally flow from and owe their contemporary shape to the cultural and economic transformations now widely known as 'globalisation'? How can something that is in significant ways embedded, situated, and locally produced also travel? What is not in doubt is that it does travel - and travel with serious consequences. The international circulation of discourses and practices has become a pressing issue for scholars who try to understand their operation in their own particular cultural contexts. This collection of essays seeks a constructive comparative view of these tendencies to convergence and divergence.
