Reflexiones y acercamientos a los modos de ver
Los autores discuten sobre las representaciones de la realidad con las que las comunidades de interpretación han construido los regímenes escópicos (lo escópico trata sobre construir con la mirada). Cada autor planteo un tema específico y lo discutió a la sombra de la teoría de los estudios visuales bajo su propia mirada. Cada quien puede hacer interpretaciones y desarrollar representaciones. Como un caleidoscopio, que en las manos de cada persona y bajo cada mirada, los cristales y piedritas reflejadas a través de la magia de los espejos nos da la ilusión de figuras simétricas que cada quien interpretar. Los caleidoscopios son instrumentos que permiten construir con la mirada, y e...
Experiencias juveniles y territorios de paz
El libro, fruto de la investigación “Experiencias juveniles y territorios de paz: configuración política de jóvenes universitarios y aprendizajes para la paz”, indaga por las prácticas y los contenidos educativos dirigidos a la construcción de la paz, así como por las acciones, propuestas e intereses juveniles de los estudiantes en este mismo campo. En tal sentido, se propone develar cómo la formación integral institucional y los espacios de estas experiencias favorecen o no una acción política responsable frente a la construcción de la paz en la sociedad contemporánea. Por ello, se busca comprender cómo los jóvenes se vinculan y participan en experiencias de acción política que logran instituir dinámicas de construcción de paz, a partir de acontecimientos socio-históricos y políticos significativos en la actualidad.

Identity and Religion in Peace Processes
This book examines the complex role identity and religion play in global peace processes. Based on multiple case studies, this book unveils the complex role identity and religion play in peace processes across the globe. It demonstrates that the success and sustainability of a peace process depends on the systemic application of the BRIDGE model that is introduced here. This model describes five major strategies (Bonding, Reassuring, Involving, Determining Guides, and Equalizing) and numerous tactics for how peace processes and accords can deal with the central issues as well as important common challenges that run through identity-based ethnonational or religious conflicts. This represents ...

Human Rights Museums
Human Rights Museums presents case studies that trace how calls for historical and social justice, and the commensurate rise of a rights regime have led to the emergence of a new museological genre: the human rights museum. Presenting innovative field research conducted in new and emerging human rights museums across Asia and Latin America, the book adopts a broad museological approach. It does so by including national and community museums, as well as public and private museological initiatives, within its purview. Drawing on in-depth case studies about museums in Taiwan, Japan, Paraguay and Colombia – all discussed within their political and cultural contexts – the book examines the pa...
Anthropological Perspectives on Global Challenges
This volume offers a snapshot of anthropological perspectives on global challenges. Whilst it could not hope to represent the full scope of anthropological perspectives, those that are presented highlight some of the critical flaws embedded in such an all-encompassing notion. The contributors reveal the possibilities of reimagining the ways in which ‘challenges’ are understood and addressed and demonstrate how a combination of deep understanding of the past and collaboration, cooperation and inclusive dialogue about the future, can improve the chances of positive action. The collection thus not only shows us that perspectives must change, but also how that change might be realised. Whils...
The Politics of Extraction
"In the face of new extraction, communities in Latin America's hydrocarbon and mining regions use participatory institutions powerfully. In some cases, communities act within the formal participatory spaces, while in others, they organized "around" or "in reaction to" the institutions, using participatory procedures as focal points for escalating conflict. Communities select their strategies in response to the participatory challenges they confront. Those challenges are associated with contestation over the boundaries that determine access to participatory institutions. Contestation over the line between subnational authority vis-à-vis central-state jurisdictions heightens communities' chal...
Between the Plough and the Pick
y global social, agrarian and political changes, whilst underlining the roles that local social political-historical contexts play in shaping mineral extractive processes and practices. It shows that the people who are engaged in these mining practices are often the poorest and most exploited labourers-erstwhile peasants caught in the vortex of global change, who perform the most insecure and dangerous tasks. Although these people are located at the margins of mainstream economic life, they collectively produce enormous amounts of diverse material commodities and find a livelihood (and often a pathway out of oppressive poverty). The contributions to this book bring these people to the forefr...
Participating in Peace
What role does dialogue play in peacebuilding? How can community-based activities contribute to broader peace processes? What can participatory research methods add to local efforts to build peace? In this book, the authors examine these questions through their work with two different Colombian communities who have pursued dialogue amidst ongoing violence, environmental injustice and socio-economic challenges. By reflecting on what people in these contrasting places have achieved through participatory peacebuilding, the authors explore different forms of local agency, the prospects for non-extractive academic engagement, and practical and theoretical lessons for participating in peace in other conflict-affected settings.
