Abuse in the Latin American Church
This book addresses the crisis of sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church in Latin America, the region of the world with the highest percentage of Catholics. Bringing together research from across the continent, it demonstrates that abuse within the Church is indeed a global phenomenon, though abuses have taken different forms according to varying sociocultural contexts. With attention to abuses committed against children, women and vulnerable adults – by both men and women – within the settings of parishes, new religious movements and international religious organizations, it also raises questions of justice, asking how to assess the suffering of victims, how to deal with abusers and how to prevent abuses. It will therefore be of interest to scholars of religious studies, sociology, Latin American studies, criminology, theology, and religious leaders with interests in the abuses and scandals that have been revealed in the worldwide Church.

Situaciones
Situaciones resume parte del trabajo desarrollado por la oficina de arquitectura y diseño República Portátil entre los años 2003 y 2018. Las siete obras que forman parte de este libro son definidas como cuerpos “débiles”, temporales; instalaciones de diferentes escalas que se posicionan en el espacio público para interactuar e intervenir en el cotidiano urbano. Concepción, Arauco, Valparaíso y Chillán han sido el contexto para estas construcciones, generando diversas formas de ocupar e interactuar en los espacios públicos. Así, en estas páginas, las obras se transforman en un relato que busca dar cuenta de las relaciones, conexiones y cambios que una instalación arquitectónica puede provocar en el espacio urbano.
