Seguridad
The book examines the governing roles of the police in Argentina, focusing on Seguridad, which conflates personal safety with state security.
The Darkening Nation
•It analyses culture during the Argentinian crisis from an interdisciplinary angle (literature, cinema, art and music). •Wide-ranging material: ‘highbrow’ art (Leonel Luna), popular culture (cumbia villera), cultural products that challenge these distinctions (César Aira, Martín Rejtman), and political art (Grupo de Arte Callejero). •The only book in English to focus comprehensively on race and nation in contemporary Argentina from a cultural studies perspective. •A broad understanding of the crisis (late 1990s to mid-2000s), which implies a more comprehensive account of this event. •Due to its analysis of white middle-class identity in Argentina, the book is also a contribution to the emerging field of whiteness studies in Latin America. •The book looks at a trend that would eventually affect the US and Europe in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis: how disaffection caused by neoliberalism triggered in people a concern with national identity which, in many cases, led to a rise of nativism and racism (e.g. Brexit, Trump’s election).

Important socioeconomic factors influencing the economics and availability of new medical treatments are co...
Nicaragua
Nicaragua, das zweitärmste Land Lateinamerikas, durchlebte in den letzten 25 Jahren zwei extreme politische Experimente: sozialistische Revolution gefolgt von radikalem Marktliberalismus. Nach gängigen Indikatoren für internationale Vergleiche von Entwicklungsniveaus ist Nicaragua sehr weit davon entfernt, die Schwelle zum Entwicklungsstadium zu überschreiten. Im Gegenteil: sogar im Vergleich zu seinen mittelamerikanischen Nachbarländern, die noch Ende der 1970er Jahre vergleichbare Ausgangsbedingungen und Entwicklungsniveaus aufwiesen, fiel Nicaragua bis heute immer mehr zurück. Auf welchem Weg befindet Nicaragua heute – 5 Jahre nach Amtsantritt Ortegas und der FSLN? Wie entwicklungs- und zukunftsfähig sind die politischen und gesellschaftlichen Strukturen? Wie stark sind die Tendenzen zurück zur autoritären und autokratischen Vergangenheit? Das Buch gibt Einblicke in die politischen Prozesse, die aktuellen und auch historischen Rahmenbedingungen dieses Entwicklungslandes und analysiert dessen Standort innerhalb der linkspopulistischen Gesamtbewegung Lateinamerikas und deren zerstörerischer Auswirkung auf Demokratie und Rechtsstaat. ??
Die koloniale Karibik
Werden nicht in der Karibik des 19. Jahrhunderts Phänomene und Prozesse vorweg-genommen, die heute erst ins Bewusstsein gelangen? Der Blick auf die kaleidoskopartige Welt der Karibik über literarische und kulturelle Transprozesse in jener Epoche erlaubt völlig neue Einsichten in die frühen Prozesse der kulturellen Globalisierung. Rassistische Diskurse, etablierte Modelle „weißer“ Abolitionisten, Erinnerungspolitiken und die bisher kaum wahrgenommene Rolle der haitianischen Revolution verbinden sich zu einem Amalgam, das unser gängiges Konzept einer genuin westlichen Moderne in Frage stellt. Migration, Zirkulation und Vernetzung zwischen verschiedensten geographischen Räumen, aber ...
Conflict, Heritage and World-Making in the Chaco
Conflict, Heritage and World-Making in the Chaco documents and interprets the physical remains and afterlives of the Chaco War (1932–35) – known as South America’s first ‘modern’ armed conflict – in what is now present-day Paraguay. It focuses not only on archaeological remains as conventionally understood, but takes an ontological approach to heterogeneous assemblages of objects, texts, practices and landscapes shaped by industrial war and people’s past and present engagements with them. These assemblages could be understood to constitute a ‘dark heritage’, the debris of a failed modernity. Yet it is clear that they are not simply dead memorials to this bloody war, but have been, and continue to be active in making, unmaking and remaking worlds – both for the participants and spectators of the war itself, as well as those who continue to occupy and live amongst the vast accretions of war matériel which persist in the present.
O direito brasileiro em evolução
Essa obra une um conjunto de artigos jurídicos produzidos pelos docentes e por bacharéis em direito da FDRP/USP que enfrentam discussões relevantes sobre a evolução recente do Direito brasileiro. Trata-se de um livro interdisciplinar com uma visão unitária do Direito e que busca refletir o ambiente da Faculdade de Direito de Ribeirão Preto da USP, entidade criada como uma proposta original e inovadora. Nas palavras de Antonio Junqueira de Azevedo, protagonista dessa instituição: "A Faculdade de Direito de Ribeirão Preto surge com o proposito de desenvolver um projeto de excelência na vasta área do conhecimento jurídico. Cientes da função do Direito de evitar conflitos e, se inevitáveis, de soluciona-los, sob inspiração constante da Justiça, e sabedores, além disso, que, nos agudos conflitos de interesses do mundo atual, as situações de tensão estão agravadas, os organizadores da nova faculdade pretendem ver concretizado em Ribeirão Preto um polo de elevado espirito publico na procura de harmonia e desenvolvimento." (Antonio Junqueira de Azevedo, "in memoriam" – Diretor "pro tempore" no período de Abril/2007 a Fevereiro/2009).
Die erinnerte Gewalt
Komplexe Prozesse und Strategien der Vergangenheitspolitik haben in Lateinamerika stark an Bedeutung gewonnen. Welche Dynamiken der Aufarbeitung von politischer Gewalt entstehen in unterschiedlichen lokalen Kontexten? Welche Konflikte um Wahrheit, Gerechtigkeit, Erinnerung und Versöhnung treten dabei auf? Anhand empirischer Forschung aus neun Ländern macht der Band die Heterogenität, Pluralität und Polyphonie dieser Diskurse und die Vielschichtigkeiten von Täter-Opfer-Beziehungen sichtbar. Die Beiträge richten dabei einen kritischen Blick auf lateinamerikanische (Post-)Konfliktprozesse und auf die globale Diskussion um »Transitional Justice«.
Decolonial Mourning and the Caring Commons
This book is the product of an endless individual and collective process of mourning. It departs from the author’s mourning for her parents, their histories and struggles in Germany as Gastarbeiter, while it also engages with the political mourning of intersectional feminist movements against feminicide inCentral and South America; the struggles against state and police misogynoir violence of #SayHerName in the United States; the resistance of refugees and migrantized people against the coloniality of migration in Germany; and the intense political grief work of families, relatives, and friends who lost their loved ones in racist attacks from the 1980s until today in Germany. Bearing witness to their stories and accounts, this book explores how mourning is shaped both by its historical context and the political labor of caring commons, while it also follows the building of a conviviality infrastructure of support against migration-coloniality necropolitics, dwelling toward transformative and reparative practices of common justice.
