Overall, this book gives an account of the whole spectrum of religious phenomena in Latin American societies, providing a “global” interpretation that will contribute to the study of political, economic, and cultural modernities in Latin America.

Arab Worlds Beyond the Middle East and North Africa
Just like people around the world have done for generations, Arab people from the Middle East and North African (MENA) region have immigrated to various nations around the world. A number of ‘push’ factors account for why groups have left their homeland and ‘pulled’ to another nation to settle. The history and patterns of Arab migration out of the MENA illustrates the wide array of reasons for these patterns, primarily illustrating that mass emigration and settlement are highly linked to a number of factors, including social, political, economic, familial climates of each nation-state and its policies. If it is one takeaway that this edited volume brings to light, it is that the Arab...
Argentine Jews Or Jewish Argentines?
This volume is devoted to Jewish Argentines in the twentieth century, and deliberately avoids restrictive or prescriptive definitions of Jews and Judaism. Instead, it focuses on people whose identities include a Jewish component, irrespective of social class and gender, and regardless of whether they are religious or secular, Ashkenazi or Sephardic, or affiliated with the organized Jewish community.
Living Law
"In his 1935 treatise on divine sovereignty, the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber introduced the idea of an 'anarchic soul of theocracy.' A decade before, the German jurist Carl Schmitt had coined the term 'political theology' in order to designate the Christian theological foundations of modern sovereignty and legal order. In a specular and opposite gesture, Buber argued that the covenant at Sinai established YHWH as the King of the Israelites and simultaneously promulgated the principle that no human being could become sovereign over this people. In so doing, Buber offered an interpretation of Jewish theocracy that is both republican and anarchic. Republican because, by pivoting on the idea that democracy is a function of a people's fidelity to a prophetic higher law, theocracy displaces the central role of the human sovereign. Anarchic because this divine law is saturated with the messianic aim to put an end to relations of domination between peoples. In this book I show that this republican and anarchic articulation of the discourse of political theology characterises the development of Jewish political theology in the 20th century from Hermann Cohen to Hannah Arendt"--
Otredad, orientalismo e identidad
La construcción de la identidad impone al hombre la tarea de imaginar un otro, edificar las construcciones simbólicas, los valores y las formas que hacen a uno mismo y a las relaciones de alteridad. Otredad, orientalismo e identidad es un trabajo de investigación que logra identificar uno de los componentes fundamentales de la constitución de la identidad que los sectores opuestos a la complejización y diversificación étnica de la nación argentina pretendían para su patria. A través del análisis de la revista Caras y Caretas entre los años 1898 y 1918 se logran registrar las características centrales de un discurso que sucesivamente identificó lo oriental como lo otro-lejano, lo otro-incivilizado o lo otro-lejano-exótico.
Posteridades del hegelianismo
Franz Rosenzweig escribió alguna vez que Hegel era "el último filósofo" dado que sólo con él alcanzó su esplendor el sistema de la filosofía. Sin embargo, es a partir de la "escuela hegeliana" que surgen, durante los siglos XIX y XX, los neohegelianos, los parahegelianos y los antihegelianos, dejando una huella fundamental en el desarrollo de la teoría y la filosofía política. En este sentido, el propósito del libro que aquí presentamos es explorar de manera crítica, y abriendo nuevas líneas de investigación, diferentes caminos surgidos a partir de la escuela hegeliana: ya sea como continuidad y transformación, como elaboración de un sistema alternativo, como un hegelianismo crítico o, por ejemplo, más radicalmente, como antihegelianismo. Esta articulación temática tendrá siempre en vista los aportes del poshegelianismo a la filosofía, a la estética y a la teoría política contemporánea.

Argentinian Telenovelas
This work explores the way in which telenovelas (TV serial dramas) give voice to contemporary and historical Argentinian social and political issues. Telenovelas have multiple layers of socio-cultural message -- local as well as global -- and are invariably laden with appealing drama and emotion, and sometimes comedy. The discussion focuses on how telenovelas reflect society's perception of, and adjustment toward, issues of globalisation. They are a means of portraying how individuals and families rationalize and incorporate rapid social and economic changes. The book explores how telenovelas might offer a subversive interpretation of reality; or provide a channel of dialogue with the govern...
