Comunicación y cultura popular en América Latina
Este libro propone problematizar la politicidad de lo popular en el cuestionamiento del actual momento de los procesos de modernización latinoamericanos. En este desafío insertamos buscamos encontrar elementos que permitan avanzar en la generación de un pensamiento crítico a partir de insumos provenientes de casos y experiencias de diversos países de la región. Hablamos, por lo tanto, de una aproximación académica, teórica e histórica, orientada hacia la generación de conocimiento con sentido político; esto es, de investigaciones sobre el lugar de la cultura en las disputas de poder. El hilo conductor que une los trabajos aquí expuestos es el carácter interpelador de la cultura popular. Es decir, que el estudio de la cultura popular siempre nos lleva a otras discusiones, como la de las políticas públicas de comunicación y cultura, el rol de la academia en el reconocimiento de la cultura popular, la idealización agonística de lo popular desde la política o el debate sobre la autenticidad de parte de quienes se afirman identitariamente como personas, colectivos, movimientos o clases populares.

Feminists have long debated the meanings of sexual difference: is it an underlying truth of nature or the result of changing social belief? Are women the same asor different from men? Feminism and History argues that sexual difference, indeed that all forms of social differentation, cannot be understood apart from history. It brings together the best critical articles available to analyze the ways in which differences among women and men have been produced. The articles range across many countries and time periods (from the Middle Ages to the present) and they ...
