Book excerpt: A través de 200 obras la muestra pretende hacer un recorrido fotográfico por diversas ciudades latinoamericanas haciendo énfasis en la capacidad de modificación arquitectónica, cultural y social que se presenta a lo largo del siglo XX, entre las décadas de los cincuenta y los setenta. La fotografía será el vehículo para entender los diversos procesos de cambio en urbes que a veces terminan siendo agredidas y derruidas, pero en otros momentos terminan consolidando géneros vernáculos en todos los elementos materiales e inmateriales de sus entornos. Mixturas en rostros, en calles, en objetos, en horizontes, en grafitis, en protestas, revelan esa condición de la urbe latinoamericana que está en permanente movimiento, que es violentamente bella pero que parece mutar sin lograr un desarrollo primermundista, tan ajeno a su cultura.

Book excerpt: Destructive patterns of Amazonian evolution are now infecting relatively untouched Northern Brazil - driven by the gold rush and demographic and economic forces from the South. The Forest Frontier assesses whether the Northern Amazonian States can avoid the same pressures and problems that affect the peoples and environments of the South. It examines the social and environmental nature of land development in Roraima, the most northerly of the Brazilian Amazonian states. Possessing most of the classic problems facing other States as well as containing a combination of political, cultural and environmental features, Roraima's development is at a frontier. Offering a critical assessment of the nature and pace of agricultural advance into Roraima, The Forest Frontier will provide a better understanding to plan for the inevitable development to come.

Download or read book At the End of the Rainbow? written by Gordon MacMillan and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the 1980s, a combination of widespread poverty and favorable gold prices encouraged hoards of wildcat miners to penetrate some of the Amazon's rainforest headwaters in search of new deposits. Now, hundreds of makeshift camps threaten the future of both the rainforest and the indigenous people who inhabit it. This book explains how gold fever came to grip the Amazon and considers the changes it has brought to the region. It contains a vivid account of the violent clash between forty thousand miners and the Yanamami Indians in the state of Roraima, as well as thoroughly researched arguments that explore the perspectives of the farmers, ranchers, natives, and others involved in this historic moment.

This book was released on 2022-07-19 with total page 669 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook presents the great contemporary challenges facing cities and urban spaces in Latin America and the Caribbean. The content of this multidisciplinary book is organized into four large sections focusing on the histories and trajectories of urban spatial development, inequality and displacement of urban populations, contemporary debates on urban policies, and the future of the city in this region. Scholars of diverse origins and specializations analyze Latin American and Caribbean cities showing that, despite their diversity, they share many characteristics and challenges and that there is value in systematizing this knowledge to both understand and explain them better and to promote increasing equity and sustainability. The contributions in this handbook enhance the theoretical, empirical and methodological study of urbanization processes and urban policies of Latin America and the Caribbean in a global context, making it an important reference for scholars across the world. The book is designed to meet the interdisciplinary study and consultation needs of undergraduate and graduate students of architecture, urban design, urban planning, sociology, anthropology, political science, public administration, and more.

This book was released on 2014-06-19 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro es un proyecto académico en el que se presentan diversos debates teóricos, reflexiones, casos de estudio y experiencias en los que se profundiza en diversos ejes de análisis sobre el fenómeno turístico, sus impactos, tensiones y prácticas sociales relacionadas con la cultura. Es un aporte al análisis y profundización de esta temática, dada su importante trascendencia en América Latina. Esperamos que los artículos, que han sido producto de la reflexión teórica o de la práctica investigativa, aporten al avance del conocimiento en la relación entre estos ejes, a partir de reflexiones teóricas, casos de estudio y análisis comparativos en relación con diversos territorios que le apuestan al turismo El libro se estructura en tres ejes de análisis. El primero, relacionado con las “Políticas públicas y el turismo cultural”; el segundo, enfocado a las “Dinámicas sociales, culturales y simbólicas en las relaciones entre turismo y cultura” y, el último, aporta a la comprensión de las “Tensiones e impactos del turismo sobre la cultura”. Con ello se espera cubrir un amplio espectro de enfoques que den cuenta de los retos a los que se deben enfrentar los hacedores de políticas públicas, los gestores, la academia y los actores locales, en relación con la implementación de proyectos y acciones en diversos territorios con múltiples dinámicas sociales asociadas a estos procesos. En este proyecto editorial se vincularon investigadores con 17 artículos que desde diversos lugares del continente aportaron su trabajo para que esta iniciativa fuera una realidad y se tejiera un collage de múltiples y variadas posturas sobre esta temática en la región. El libro aporta un sinnúmero de reflexiones e interrogantes que podrían derivar en un futuro en proyectos de investigación que permitan generar una mayor comprensión de las complejas relaciones entre cultura y turismo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultures of the City explores the cultural mediation of relationships between people and urban spaces in Latin/o America and how these mediations shape the identities of cities and their residents. Addressing a broad spectrum of phenomena and disciplinary approaches, the contributors to this volume analyze lived urban experiences and their symbolic representation in cultural texts. Individual chapters explore Havana in popular music; Mexico City in art; Buenos Aires, Recife, and Salvador in film; and Asuncion and Buenos Aires in literature. Others focus on particular events, conditions, and practices of urban life including the Havana book fair, mass transit in Bogota, the restaurant industry in Los Angeles, the media in Detroit, Andean festivals in Lima, and the photographic record of a visit by members of the Zapatista Liberation Army to Mexico City. The contributors examine identity and the sense of place and belonging that connect people to urban environments, relating these to considerations of ethnicity, social and economic class, gender, everyday life, and cultural practices. They also consider history and memory and the making of places through the iterative performance of social practices. As such, places are works in progress, a condition that is particularly evident in contemporary Latin/o American cities where the opposition between local and global influences is a prominent facet of daily life. These core issues are theorized further in an afterword by Abril Trigo, who takes the chapters as a point of departure for a discussion of the dialectics of identity in the Latin/o American global city.
