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.

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 ...

Archeologie Du Frivole
In 1746 the French philosophe Condillac published his Essay on the Origin of Human Knowledge, one of many attempts during the century to determine how we organize and validate ideas as knowledge. In investigating language, especially written language, he found not only the seriousness he sought but also a great deal of frivolity whose relation to the sober business of philosophy had to be addressed somehow. If the mind truly reflects the world, and language reflects the mind, why is there so much error and nonsense? Whence the distortions? How can they be remedied? In The Archeology of the Frivolous, Jacques Derrida recoups Condillac's enterprise, showing how it anticipated--consciously or not--many of the issues that have since stymied epistemology and linguistic philosophy. If anyone doubts that deconstruction can be a powerful analytic method, try this.
