Homophobic Violence in Armed Conflict and Political Transition
This book argues that homophobia plays a fundamental role in disputes for hegemony between antagonists during political transitions. Examining countries not often connected in the same research—Colombia and South Africa—the book asserts that homophobia, as a form of gender and sexual violence, contributes to the transformation of gender and sexual orders required by warfare and deployed by armed groups. Anti-homosexual violence also reinforces the creation of consensus around these projects of change. The book considers the perspective of individuals and their organizations, for whom such hatreds are part of the embodied experience of violence caused by protracted conflicts and social inequalities. Resistance to that violence are reason to mobilize and become political actors. This book contributes to the increasing interest in South-South comparative analyses and the need of theory building based on case-study analyses, offering systematic research useful for grass root organizations, practitioners, and policy makers.
Shopping with Allah
Shopping with Allah illustrates the ways in which religion is mobilised in package tourism and how spiritual, economic and gendered practices are combined in a form of tourism where the goal is not purely leisure but also ethical and spiritual cultivation. Focusing on the intersection of gender and Islam, Viola Thimm shows how this intersection develops and changes in a pilgrimage-tourism nexus as part of capitalist and halal consumer markets. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates and Oman, Thimm sheds light on how Islam and gender frame Malaysian religious tourism and pilgrimage to the Arabian Peninsula, but she raises many issues that are of great ...
Contemporary Global Thinking from Latin American Women
The book brings to the English-speaking public outstanding texts of prominent Latin American & Caribbean women thinkers translated for the first time into English. All the authors address contemporary issues in the field of social sciences, humanities, literature and translation adopting a theoretical point of view. The book offers a wide-ranging discussion of the contribution of the selected thinkers to show how their contribution moves beyond ‘regional/area’ studies. It shows how the theoretical and methodological innovations found in the writings of these intellectuals are essential for the establishment of a truly global perspective in the social sciences, literature, translation and political philosophy.
Decolonial Pluriversalism
Decolonial Pluriversalism offers a unique, powerful, and crucial perspective on decolonial theories, political thoughts, aesthetics, and activisms. In going beyond a postcolonial critique of eurocentrism, it provides some of the most original interventions in the field of decolonial theory. Drawing from the Francophone worlds, Latin American and Caribbean philosophies, it explores concepts of creolization, racialization, Afropean aesthetics, arts and cultural productions, feminisms, fashion, education, and architecture. Contributors: Zahra Ali, Luis Martínez Andrade, Sonia Dayan-Herzbrun, Jane Anna Gordon, Mariem Guellouz, Léopold Lambert, Alanna Lockward, Fátima Hurtado López, Olivier Marboeuf, Donna Edmonds Mitchell, Corinna Mullin, Marine Bachelot Nguyen, Minh-Ha T. Pham, Françoise Vergès, Patrice Yengo
After the Decolonial
After the Decolonial examines the sources of Latin American decolonial thought, its reading of precursors like Fanon and Levinas and its historical interpretations. In extended treatments of the anthropology of ethnicity, law and religion and of the region’s modern culture, Lehmann sets out the bases of a more grounded interpretation, drawing inspiration from Mexico, Brazil, Bolivia and Chile, and from a lifelong engagement with issues of development, religion and race. The decolonial places race at the centre of its interpretation of injustice and, together with the multiple other exclusions dividing Latin American societies, traces it to European colonialism. But it has not fully absorbe...

Género y poder
En un proyecto de descolonización del género plural y de largo alcance dentro de los feminismos, este libro es una conversación entre América del Sur (Abya Yala) y el sur de Europa (territorio español) que busca contribuir, en un contexto revuelto, al continuo camino de reconstrucción de la resistencia y política feministas frente a una matriz colonial-moderna gobernada para ser "sana, competente y feliz". Aquí, esta matriz se vincula con la regulación y fabricación de alterizaciones y minorizaciones naturalizadas sometidas a violencias estructurales a partir de un ideal blanco de género, nación y raza. Género y poder: exploraciones situadas en el sistema colonial-moderno es un ejercicio parcial y plural, en términos de lugares de enunciación, que abre el diálogo y presenta fragmentos de insurrección de nuevas prácticas feministas de vulnerabilidad y resistencia, de transformación subjetiva y social y de agenciamientos y libertad.
Feministische Theorie aus Afrika, Asien und Lateinamerika
Ziel dieser Einführung ist es, mit feministischen Strömungen außerhalb Europas vertraut zu machen. Nachgezeichnet werden Debatten zu Feminismus und Gendergerechtigkeit in Afrika, Asien und Lateinamerika der letzten Jahrzehnte sowie der rege Austausch über regionale, nationale und auch kulturell-religiöse oder Sprachgrenzen hinweg. Der Band enthält sowohl Kapitel mit regionalem als auch Kapitel mit themenzentriertem Fokus, wie dem postkolonialen Feminismus, Feminismen im Islam oder dem Ökofeminismus. Er stellt so eine Einladung an europäische feministische Perspektiven dar, sich zu öffnen und weiterzudenken.

Estados mórbidos
«Vivir a destiempo, como Soila, muestra cómo llegar tarde o tomarse su tiempo son estrategias que permiten enfrentarse a las temporalidades institucionalizadas por el mundo del rendimiento; rechazar el contacto corporal, como hace Mariana, le permite darse la distancia, proteger su espacio, demasiadas veces relegado o invadido por la dedicación al cuidado, las migrañas de Agostina son impugnaciones a la expectativa de eficiencia que atraviesa trabajo, vida familiar y ocio. Sus testimonios son una expresión de esas vidas abandonadas a la extenuación, que Jasbir Puar ha sabido expresar como "derecho a mutilar", en las que al imperativo morbopolítico de "echar p'alante" se opone la rebeldía sorda de "quedarse atrás"». Melania Moscoso «Estamos frente a una autora valiente que se atreve a crear sus propios conceptos para indagar críticamente desde una perspectiva bastante inédita sobre la pregunta: ¿cómo sobrevivir al mundo neoliberal cuando tenemos un cuerpo herido, enfermo, culturalmente construido/destruido desde las estructuras estatales en convergencia con el capitalismo neoliberal?» Sayak Valencia
