Políticas de juventudes y participación política
Este libro reúne experiencias de diferentes latitudes, que apelan a distintas perspectivas y que abordan temáticas diversas, pero a la vez puede ser leído desde una clave común: un conjunto de trabajos preocupados por dar cuenta de las múltiples aristas que conforman la condición juvenil contemporánea. De esta forma, brinda un panorama para comprender diferentes procesos y el lugar de los jóvenes en ellos, indagando tanto la esfera estatal en la producción del sujeto joven desde las políticas públicas, como en las prácticas políticas que se entrelazan en agrupaciones y movimientos con determinadas representaciones sobre la juventud, muchas veces en disputa con los propios jóven...
La buena voluntad : el vínculo de jóvenes argentinxs con la política, entre dos paradigmas de Estado
Desde la pulverización de una generación revolucionaria, pasando por Malvinas y Cromañón, así como la cotidianeidad de persecución, hostigamiento y asesinato por la bala policial, la muerte ha recorrido y recorre la experiencia de las juventudes argentinas. También la recorre la vida. Estas páginas se suben a ese vuelo de tantas y tantos jóvenes que día tras día sueñan y construyen un país Eros. Entonces, la investigación y la escritura coral se vuelven potencia e invitan a seguir creando.Es posible que cuando pasen los años y miremos y nos miremos en retrospectiva nos parezca imposible asumir que pudimos hacer tanto aún en la excepcionalidad pandémica. Este proyecto colectivo es, entonces, la muestra de que somos capaces de tejer luz aún en tiempos oscuros, probándonos que el aislamiento social preventivo que soportamos por varios meses del 2020 no confinó nuestros deseos y pasiones. Del Prólogo de Andrea Bonvillani.
Ecuador : debates, balances y desafíos post-progresistas
Los progresismos nacieron en medio de, o como el resultado de la devastación provocada por el neoliberalismo y caminaron sobre el cascajo de los partidos tradicionales. En Ecuador, el gobierno de la denominada "Revoluvión Ciudadana" fue un intenso fenómeno político de más de una década que cultivó varios éxitos electorales y sociales. Su promesa emergió en medio de una crisis profunda que había quebrado la hegemonía política de las élites y desgastado los engranajes del sistema político representativo.Las páginas de este libro, fruto de un extraordinario esfuerzo colectivo, ensayan una explicación sobre los significados y herencias de los gobiernos progresistas con un énfasi...
Representations of Youth
Representations of Youth examines the various constructions of 'youth' and 'adolescence' in recent British and North American research. Mainstream and radical approaches have presented a series of 'crises' about young people in relation to, among other things, unemployment, 'teenage pregnancy' and 'delinquency'. This book considers research in psychology, sociology, education, criminology and cultural studies in order to assess these accounts. The author offers a critical review of a wide range of findings about young people in areas as diverse as education and training, leisure, family life and sexuality. She shows that whilst youth research texts do not reflect young people's experiences i...
(Not) Getting Paid to Do What You Love
An illuminating investigation into a class of enterprising women aspiring to “make it” in the social media economy but often finding only unpaid work Profound transformations in our digital society have brought many enterprising women to social media platforms—from blogs to YouTube to Instagram—in hopes of channeling their talents into fulfilling careers. In this eye-opening book, Brooke Erin Duffy draws much-needed attention to the gap between the handful who find lucrative careers and the rest, whose “passion projects” amount to free work for corporate brands. Drawing on interviews and fieldwork, Duffy offers fascinating insights into the work and lives of fashion bloggers, beauty vloggers, and designers. She connects the activities of these women to larger shifts in unpaid and gendered labor, offering a lens through which to understand, anticipate, and critique broader transformations in the creative economy. At a moment when social media offer the rousing assurance that anyone can “make it”—and stand out among freelancers, temps, and gig workers—Duffy asks us all to consider the stakes of not getting paid to do what you love.
Partisan Publics
During the 1980s and 1990s, Brazil struggled to rebuild its democracy after twenty years of military dictatorship, experiencing financial crises, corruption scandals, political protest, and intense electoral contention. In the midst of this turmoil, Ann Mische argues in this remarkable book, youth activists of various stripes played a vital and unrecognized role, contributing new forms of political talk and action to Brazil's emerging democracy. Drawing upon extensive and rich ethnography as well as formal network analysis, Mische tracks the lives of young activists through intersecting political networks, including student movements, church-based activism, political parties, nongovernmental...
Religion and Social Problems
Although students and scholars of social problems have often acknowledged the role of religion, no thorough examinations of the relation between the two have emerged. This book fills this gap by providing a definitive work on the impact of religion on social problems, religion as a solution to social problems, and religion as a social problem in itself.
Affect, Gender and Sexuality in Latin America
This book emphasizes the significance of affects, feelings and emotions in how we think about politics, gender and sexuality in Latin America. Considering the complex and even contradictory social processes that the region is experiencing today, many Latin American authors are turning to affect to find a key to understand our present situation, to revisit our history, and to imagine new possibilities for the future. This tendency has shown such a specificity and sometimes departure from northern productions that it compels us to focus more deeply on its own arguments, methods, and critical contributions. This volume features essays that explore the particularities of Latin American ways of thinking about affect and how they can shed new light into our understanding of, gender, sexuality and politics.
The Film Archipelago
How do the islands and archipelagos of the New World figure in Latin American cinema? Comprising 15 essays and a critical introduction, The Film Archipelago: Islands in Latin American Cinema addresses this question by examining a series of intersections between insular spaces and filmmaking in Latin America. The volume brings together international scholars and filmmakers to consider a diverse corpus of films about islands, films that take place on islands, films produced in islands, and films that problematise islands. The book explores a diverse range of films that extend from the Chilean documentaries of Patricio Guzmán to work on the Malvinas/Falkland Islands, and films by Argentine dir...
