In gegenwärtigen Debatten rückt das Thema Grenze, aber auch Grenzüberwindung durch Brücken, in den Mittelpunkt des öffentlichen Interesses. Zwischen einer Vernetzung durch Medien, Deterritorialisierung und Abschottungspolitik findet eine Diskussion über das Globale im Gegensatz zum Lokalen statt, über Chancen und Grenzen einer (neuen) Weltoffenheit – Aspekte, die durch die Corona-Pandemie umso mehr offenbart werden. Gerade für die Romania sind Themen, die sich mit Grenzen und Brücken beschäftigen, relevant: Ihr Gebiet verteilt sich auf unterschiedliche Sprachen, Diskursgemeinschaften und Geographien, die auf vielfältige Weise vernetzt sind. Der vorliegende Band nähert sich dies...
This interdisciplinary monograph explores the discursive manifestations of the conflict over how to remember and interpret the actions of the military during the last dictatorship in Uruguay (1973-1985). Through the exploration of the discursive ways in which this powerful group represents past events and participants, we can trace the ideological struggle over how to reconstruct a traumatic past. By looking at memory as a social and discursive practice, the analysis identifies particular semiotic practices and linguistic patterns deployed in the construction of memory. The discursive description of what is remembered, how it is remembered, and who remembers serves to explain how the institution s construction of the past is transformed and maintained to respond to outside criticism and create an institutional identity as a lawful state apparatus. This book should interest discourse analysts, historians, sociologists and researchers in the field of transitional justice.

Chilean writer Isabel Allende’s classic novel is both a richly symbolic family saga and the riveting story of an unnamed Latin American country’s turbulent history. In a triumph of magic realism, Allende constructs a spirit-ridden world and fills it with colorful and all-too-human inhabitants. The Trueba family’s passions, struggles, and secrets span three generations and a century of violent social change, culminating in a crisis that brings the proud and tyrannical patriarch and his beloved granddaughter to opposite sides of the barricades. Against a backdrop of revolution and counterrevolution, Allende brings to life a family whose private bonds of love and hatred are more complex and enduring than the political allegiances that set them at odds. The House of the Spirits not only brings another nation’s history thrillingly to life, but also makes its people’s joys and anguishes wholly our own.
