La prisión del vestido
"Serious historical study of area ignored by most scholars. Combines cultural and economic factors to explain rich diversity in the evolution of styles of dress for men and women. Although beginning with colonial era, focus is on 19th century and emergence of 'traje nacional.' Much commentary deals with Colombia. Research base includes archival work and contemporary publications as well as historical monographs"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
Of Love and Other Passions
In Of Love and Other Passions Guiomar Dueñas-Vargas delves into the world of emotions among the bourgeois elite in Bogotá from the end of the colonial period to 1870. While most studies of the period focus solely on the country’s political activity, Dueñas-Vargas shows how Colombia’s social, cultural, and political changes transformed the meaning of love, which contributed to the evolution of new models of femininity and masculinity. By examining sources such as personal letters and diaries, Dueñas-Vargas presents the emotional profiles of families and couples, demonstrating how their conduct challenged the established order. As lovers insisted on choosing their own mates rather than marrying spouses selected by their parents, they undermined the patriarchal structure of Colombian society. Such decisions unveil the many functions women assumed in both public and private life and how they participated in the invention of a nation.

Pensar la cultura
La obra recoge la polémica en el área de la investigación de las ciencia sociales y humanas y, en particular, de la historia y de la sociología, entre una corriente que se identifica con las estructura y otra que lo hace con la cultura. Los autores reflexionan en sus ensayos sobre los desarrollos de esa polémica, sobre el rumbo que ha tomado el campo de la cultura y los problemas a los que se hallan enfrentados los investigadores. Este es un libro para quien se interese no sólo en los desarrollos de las ciencias sociales y humanas en Colombia y en América Latina, sino también en el problema de la cultura y en las discusiones y caminos propuestos por los nuevos estudios.
