This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking text explores the dramatic evolution in Latin American social movements over the past fifteen years. Leading scholars examine a variety of cases that highlight significant shifts in the region. First is the breakdown of the Washington Consensus and the global economic crisis since 2008, accompanied by the rise of new paradigms such as buen vivir (living well). Second are transformations in internal movement dynamics and strategies, especially the growth of horizontalism (horizontalidad), which emphasizes non-hierarchical relations within society rather than directly tackling state power. Third are new dynamics of resistance and repression as movements interact with the “pink tide” rise of left-of-center governments in the region. Exploring outcomes and future directions, the contributors consider the variations between movements arising from immediate circumstances (such as Oaxaca’s 2006 uprising and Brazil’s 2013 bus fare protests) and longer-lasting movements (Vía Campesina, Brazil’s MST, and Mexico’s Zapatistas). Assessing both the continuities in social movement dynamics and important new tendencies, this book will be essential reading for all students of Latin American politics and society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive overview of feminist scholarship edited by an internationally recognized and leading figure in the field Companion to Feminist Studies provides a broad overview of the rich history and the multitude of approaches, theories, concepts, and debates central to this dynamic interdisciplinary field. Comprehensive yet accessible, this edited volume offers expert insights from contributors of diverse academic, national, and activist backgrounds—discussing contemporary research and themes while offering international, postcolonial, and intersectional perspectives on social, political, cultural, and economic institutions, social media, social justice movements, everyday discourse, and more. Organized around three different dimensions of Feminist Studies, the Companion begins by exploring ten theoretical frameworks, including feminist epistemologies examining Marxist and Socialist Feminism, the activism of radical feminists, the contributions of Black feminist thought, and interrelated approaches to the fluidity of gender and sexuality. The second section focuses on methodologies and analytical frameworks developed by feminist scholars, including empiricists, economists, ethnographers, cultural analysts, and historiographers. The volume concludes with detailed discussion of the many ways in which pedagogy, political ecology, social justice, globalization, and other areas within Feminist Studies are shaped by feminism in practice. A major contribution to scholarship on both the theoretical foundations and contemporary debates in the field, this volume: Provides an international and interdisciplinary range of the essays of high relevance to scholars, students, and practitioners alike Examines various historical and modern approaches to the analysis of gender and sexual differences Addresses timely issues such as the difference between radical and cultural feminism, the lack of women working as scientists in academia and other research positions, and how activism continues to reformulate feminist approaches Draws insight from the positionality of postcolonial, comparative and transnational feminists Explores how gender, class, and race intersect to shape women’s experiences and inform their perspectives Companion to Feminist Studies is an essential resource for students and faculty in Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Feminist Studies programs, and related disciplines including anthropology, psychology, history, political science, and sociology, and for researchers, scholars, practitioners, policymakers, activists, and advocates working on issues related to gender, sexuality, and social justice.

Download or read book Disremembering the Dictatorship written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-08-04 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most accounts of the Spanish transition to democracy have been celebratory exercises at the service of a stabilizing rather than a critical project of far-reaching reform. As one of the essays in this volume puts it, the “pact of oblivion,” which characterized the Spanish transition to democracy, curtailed any serious attempt to address the legacies of authoritarianism that the new democracy inherited from the Franco era. As a result, those legacies pervaded public discourse even in newly created organs of opinion. As another contributor argues, the Transition was based on the erasure of memory and the invention of a new political tradition. On the other hand, memory and its etiolation have been an object of reflection for a number of film directors and fiction writers, who have probed the return of the repressed under spectral conditions. Above all, this book strives to present memory as a performative exercise of democratic agents and an open field for encounters with different, possibly divergent, and necessarily fragmented recollections. The pact of the Transition could not entirely disguise the naturalization of a society made of winners and losers, nor could it ensure the consolidation of amnesia by political agents and by the tools that create hegemony by shaping opinion. Spanish society is haunted by the specters of a past it has tried to surmount by denying it. It seems unlikely that it can rid itself of its ghosts without in the process undermining the democracy it sought to legitimate through the erasure of memories and the drowning of witnesses' voices in the cacaphony of triumphant modernization.

Download or read book After the Decolonial written by David Lehmann and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-12-08 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Decolonial examines the sources of Latin American decolonial thought, its reading of precursors like Fanon and Levinas and its historical interpretations. In extended treatments of the anthropology of ethnicity, law and religion and of the region’s modern culture, Lehmann sets out the bases of a more grounded interpretation, drawing inspiration from Mexico, Brazil, Bolivia and Chile, and from a lifelong engagement with issues of development, religion and race. The decolonial places race at the centre of its interpretation of injustice and, together with the multiple other exclusions dividing Latin American societies, traces it to European colonialism. But it has not fully absorbed the uniquely unsettling nature of Latin American race relations, which perpetuate prejudice and inequality, yet are marked by métissage, pervasive borrowing and mimesis. Moreover, it has not integrated its own disruptive feminist branch, and it has taken little interest in either the interwoven history of indigenous religion and hegemonic Catholicism or the evangelical tsunami which has upended so many assumptions about the region’s culture. The book concludes that in Latin America, where inequality and violence are more severe than anywhere else, and where COVID-19 has revealed the deplorable state of the institutions charged with ensuring the basic requirements of life, the time has come to instate a universalist concept of social justice, encompassing a comprehensive approach to race, gender, class and human rights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion and Politics in America's Borderlands brings together leading academic specialists on immigration and the borderlands, as well as nationally recognized grassroots activists, who reflect on their varied experiences of living, working, and teaching on the US-Mexico border and in the borderlands. These authors demonstrate the groundbreaking claim that the borderlands are not only a location to think about religiously, but they’re also a place that reshapes religious thinking. In this pioneering book, scholars and activists engage with Scripture, theology, history, church practices, and personal experiences to offer in-depth analyses of how the borderlands confront conventional interpretations of Christianity.

Book excerpt: Nuestra segunda vida en el mundo digital, la comida genéticamente modificada, las prótesis de nueva generación y las tecnologías reproductivas son aspectos ya familiares de la condición posthumana. Ya que se han borrado las fronteras entre aquello que es humano y aquello que no lo es, poniendo en evidencia la base no natural del ser humano actual. Desde el punto de vista de la Filosofía y la Teoría Política, urge actualizar las definiciones de identidad y los fenómenos sociales a raíz de este salto. Con un simple análisis se verá que después de haber constatado el fin del Humanismo, es preciso ver en esta transformación las malas intenciones de una colonización de la vida por parte de los mercados y su lógica del beneficio. Es preciso, pues, adecuar la teoría a los cambios en curso, sin añoranzas por una humanidad ahora perdida y cogiendo las oportunidades ofrecidas por las formas de Neohumanismo que nacen de los movimientos medio ambientales y de los Estudios de Género y Postcoloniales.

This book was released on 2024-05-30 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breve historia de la moda femenina y su papel en la sociedad a lo largo de los siglos. El inicio del movimiento por la igualdad de género y su relación con la moda. La moda femenina es mucho más que ropa y complementos; A lo largo de la historia, ha sido una poderosa herramienta de expresión, afirmación de la identidad y reflejo de los valores sociales de cada época. Desde la antigüedad, las mujeres han utilizado la moda como forma de comunicación no verbal, transmitiendo mensajes sobre su posición social, estatus e incluso sus aspiraciones. En este capítulo, exploraremos brevemente la historia de la moda femenina y cómo se entrelaza con la búsqueda de la igualdad de género. La historia de la moda femenina se remonta a los inicios de la humanidad, donde los primeros signos de decoraciones y adornos ya demostraban una preocupación por la apariencia y la diferenciación de roles sociales entre hombres y mujeres. A medida que las civilizaciones progresaron, la ropa de las mujeres se volvió cada vez más compleja y diversa, reflejando las creencias, valores y jerarquías de las sociedades en las que vivían estas mujeres. En la Edad Media, por ejemplo, la moda femenina estaba fuertemente influenciada por la religión y las expectativas sociales de la época. La ropa de las mujeres era a menudo exuberante, con corsés ajustados y faldas voluminosas, simbolizando su posición como adorno social. Sin embargo, esta opulencia también fue una restricción, ya que la moda imponía limitaciones a la movilidad y comodidad de las mujeres. Con el surgimiento de la Ilustración en el siglo XVIII y el inicio de la Revolución Industrial, la moda femenina sufrió cambios significativos. El énfasis en la razón y el progreso social condujo a una mayor demanda de ropa práctica y funcional. El llamado "disfraz de Amazon" ganó popularidad y representa una ruptura con los vestidos excesivamente ornamentados del pasado. Este período también vio el comienzo de los movimientos sufragistas, que buscaban el derecho de las mujeres al voto y la igualdad de derechos civiles. En el siglo XX, la moda femenina vivió una auténtica revolución. Las dos Guerras Mundiales tuvieron un profundo impacto en la forma de vestir de las mujeres, ya que muchas asumieron roles tradicionalmente masculinos mientras los hombres estaban en el frente. Esto culminó con el surgimiento del movimiento feminista en las décadas de 1960 y 1970, que desafió las normas de género y buscó la igualdad en muchos aspectos de la vida, incluida la moda. En este contexto, la moda se convirtió en una forma de protesta y expresión política para muchas mujeres. El uso de pantalones por parte de las mujeres, por ejemplo, se consideró inicialmente una afrenta a las normas sociales, pero pronto se convirtió en un símbolo del empoderamiento femenino y la lucha por la igualdad de género. Desde entonces, la moda femenina ha sido una plataforma para expresar la diversidad y complejidad de las identidades femeninas. Marcas y diseñadores se han involucrado en campañas que promueven la inclusión, la diversidad y la ruptura de estereotipos de género. El movimiento por la igualdad de género ha impulsado la creación de ropa y accesorios que trascienden las normas tradicionales y permiten a las mujeres sentirse cómodas y seguras de sí mismas. Así, la moda femenina ha evolucionado como un espejo de la sociedad, reflejando sus transformaciones, luchas y logros. El movimiento por la igualdad de género y la moda están intrínsecamente vinculados y ambos buscan deconstruir estándares rígidos y abrir espacios para la libertad, la autonomía y el empoderamiento de las mujeres . A lo largo de este libro electrónico , exploraremos cómo la moda femenina y el movimiento por la igualdad de género se influyen mutuamente, dando forma y redefiniendo nuestra percepción de la feminidad, el empoderamiento y la igualdad.

Trabajas en una oficina, aconsejas a los demás, te involucras en obras sociales y cuidas la casa. Cuando terminas parece que no has hecho nada… ¡y yo te reclamo! Siempre he reprochado que gastas demasiado. Si te compras un vestido nuevo, todos te elogian y a mí sólo se me ocurre preguntarte “¿cuánto te costó?” Mujer… Perdóname. En las noches cuando nuestros hijos lloraban, tú te levantabas a atenderlos y yo me tapaba con las cobijas… Hoy me he dado cuenta de mis errores y de tu gran valor. Quiero decirte que las personas cercanas te necesitamos mucho. Eres una MUJER DE CONQUISTA. Tu capacidad de amar es irremplazable, tu esfuerzo en los proyectos importantes es fundamental. Tu sensibilidad te permite comprender y sanar el corazón de otros seres humanos… Eres el equilibrio del mundo y generas la vida espiritual desde tus entrañas… Amor… debes saber que en gran medida es tu vida la que le ha dado sentido a la mía.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inclusive and progressive theological and religious perspectives have an important and distinctive contribution to make to an analysis of the critical issues facing women-identified persons in the 21st century. This incisive collection of essays recovers the missing theological voices, grounded in those religious communities and traditions, which gender and sexuality studies often overlook. Feminist theologies have, from their beginnings, aspired to be the communal production of women-identified persons who critically reflect on their experiences in the contexts of culture, social standpoint, religious practices and beliefs, and imagination of the Feminine Divine. Pae and Talvacchia draw from this heritage to engage the critical issues of today to create new perspectives. They create an intellectual and discursive space where feminist theologians in all of their diversity renew and reclaim the rich legacies of the feminist theological tradition through inter-generational, racially diverse, and transnational conversation.

Download or read book Neoliberalism and Unequal Development written by Roser Manzanera-Ruiz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1970s, neoliberalism has evolved from ideology to political programme, from political programme to public policy, and from public policy to constitutional rule. This process of change has been made possible through the endorsement of an uncritical, a-historical, and apolitical economic theory that legitimized technocratic despotism, financial deregulation, precarious labour, and constitutional-political emptying. This book examines critical perspectives in mainstream neoliberal development analysis. It examines the neoliberal experiment as a global historical construct through the cases of Africa, Latin America, and Europe. The analysis begins in 1980 with the Structural Adjustment Plans in Latin America and Africa, followed in 1990 by Maastricht in the case of Europe and the euphoric shift that took place, typified by the Africa Rising narrative, which attempts to promote the idea of an economically emerging continent. It also considers the weakness of the state resulting from neo-liberal austerity and fiscal stabilization policies, which have amplified the inability to collectively deal with the social, economic, and political impact of the COVID-19 crisis. One of the key features of the book is the extensive comparative analysis between regions, using case studies, including examples from African countries. The authors connect the different regional perspectives, included in the book, in a clear and coherent way, such that it will appeal to students and scholars interested in the social, economic, and political outcomes of globalization and will also be of interest to official development agencies and third sector organizations in Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa and Europe.

Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of Critical Race and Gender written by Shirley Anne Tate and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-07 with total page 683 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook unravels the complexities of the global and local entanglements of race, gender and intersectionality within racial capitalism in times of #MeToo, #BlackLivesMatter, the Chilean uprising, Anti-Muslim racism, backlash against trans and queer politics, and global struggles against modern colonial femicide and extractivism. Contributors chart intersectional and decolonial perspectives on race and gender research across North America, Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, and South Africa, centering theoretical understandings of how these categories are imbricated and how they operate and mean individually and together. This book offers new ways to think about what is absent/present and why, how erasure works in historical and contemporary theoretical accounts of the complexity of lived experiences of race and gender, and how, as new issues arise, intersectionalities (re)emerge in the politics of race and gender. This handbook will be of interest to students and scholars across the social sciences and humanities.
