Taking Risks
Taking Risks offers a creative, interdisciplinary approach to narrating the stories of activist scholarship by women. The essays are based on the textual analysis of interviews, oral histories, ethnography, video storytelling, and theater. The contributors come from many disciplinary backgrounds, including theater, history, literature, sociology, feminist studies, and cultural studies. The topics range from the underground library movement in Cuba, femicide in Juárez, community radio in Venezuela, video archives in Colombia, exiled feminists in Canada, memory activism in Argentina, sex worker activists in Brazil, rural feminists in Nicaragua, to domestic violence organizations for Latina immigrants in Texas. Each essay addresses two themes: telling stories and taking risks. The authors understand women activists across the Americas as storytellers who, along with the authors themselves, work to fill the Latin American and Caribbean studies archives with histories of resistance. In addition to sharing the activists' stories, the contributors weave in discussions of scholarly risk taking to speak to the challenges and importance of elevating the storytellers and their histories.

An international hit from New York, Paris and Edinburgh, Swing is a comedy about dancing and music and love and not se...
Argentiniens Mythos der »Großen Spaltung«
1983 kehrte Argentinien nach den traumatischen Jahren der Militärdiktatur zur Demokratie zurück. Trotz der anfangs in der Bevölkerung weit verbreiteten Aufbruchsstimmung unter Präsident Raúl Alfonsín gilt es seither als chronischer Krisenstaat. Neben sozialen, ökonomischen und politischen Spannungen ist das Land bis heute durch eine tiefe Zerrissenheit über die Bewertung der nationalen Vergangenheit geprägt. Tobias Renghart analysiert, wie Regierungen und politische Führungsfiguren unter Rückgriff auf die Geschichte emotionale Narrative schufen, um sich selbst zu legitimieren und dabei die Spaltungstendenzen innerhalb der Bevölkerung verschärften. Er eröffnet so neue Perspektiven auf die gegenwärtige gesellschaftliche Polarisierung Argentiniens.
