Narratives of Vulnerability in Mexico's War on Drugs
This book explores the current human rights crisis created by the War on Drugs in Mexico. It focuses on three vulnerable communities that have felt the impacts of this war firsthand: undocumented Central American migrants in transit to the United States, journalists who report on violence in highly dangerous regions, and the mourning relatives of victims of severe crimes, who take collective action by participating in human rights investigations and searching for their missing loved ones. Analyzing contemporary novels, journalistic chronicles, testimonial works, and documentaries, the book reveals the political potential of these communities’ vulnerability and victimization portrayed in these fictional and non-fictional representations. Violence against migrants, journalists, and activists reveals an array of human rights violations affecting the right to safe transit across borders, freedom of expression, the right to information, and the right to truth and justice.
Mobile and Entangled America(s)
A superb combination of focused case studies and high level conceptual thinking, this volume is an important monument in the ongoing development of Inter-American studies The articles gathered here closely examine a wide variety of cultural phenomena implicated in the 'entanglements' which have defined the history of the Americas. From religious networks to music and dance, and across a range of literary and artistic works, the mobility of people, objects, and ideas in the Americas is expertly mapped. At the same time, the book represents a serious enterprise of theory-building. Drawing on the histories of postcolonial thought, mobility studies, and work on human migration, Mobile and Entangled America(s) clearly establishes a new interdisciplinary field attentive both to the complexities of cultural form and the pervasiveness of power relations. Each article stands as a significant piece of scholarship on its own, but all are in dialogue with each other. The result is a richly satisfying and important volume of cultural scholarship.
La universidad humanista en un mundo globalizado
“La universidad humanista en un mundo globalizado es un libro escrito con la intención de reivindicar la necesidad de recuperar la universidad humanista. La universidad en su verdad esencial. Aquella que surgió para enseñar a pensar y a trasladar lo pensado de la forma mejor, más bella y más clara. Aquella universidad en la que la retórica era una asignatura esencial al igual que la música y las artes. Aquella universidad cuya misión era formar y no sólo informar. Mucho tiempo ha pasado desde ese momento y la universidad se ha diversificado para adaptarse a los tiempos modernos y a los conocimientos que precisan ser analizados y enseñados. Esta adaptación es sin duda necesaria p...

The Good Conscience
The Good Conscience is Carlos Fuentes's second novel. The scene is Guanajuato, a provincial capital in Central Mexico, once one of the world's richest mining centers. The Ceballos family has been reinstated to power, and adolescent Jaime Ceballos, its only heir, is torn between the practical reality of his family's life and the idealism of his youth and his Catholic education. His father is a good man but weak; his uncle is powerful, yet his actions are inconsistent with his professed beliefs. Jaime's struggle to emerge as a man with a "good conscience" forms the theme of the book: can a rebel correct the evils of an established system and at the same time retain the integrity of his principles?
Candidaturas Apartidárias na Constituição Cidadã
O instituto das candidaturas apartidárias atravessa a história política brasileira desde os primeiros períodos coloniais até a posterior Declaração de Independência, desde as épocas imperiais até a Proclamação da República, de intervalos de estabilidade democrática a hiatos de governos autoritários. Apesar de o constituinte de 1987-1988 ter optado por alçar a filiação partidária à condição de elegibilidade da República Federativa do Brasil (art. 14, §3º, V, CF), recentes discussões hermenêuticas e propostas de emenda à Constituição têm aventado a possibilidade de o âmbito de abrangência dessa exigência ser mitigado por não consagrar uma adequada concepção de sufrágio universal (art. 14, caput, CF). Porquanto o preceito do art. 14, §3º, V é de inquestionável constitucionalidade em razão da sua gênese originária, o livro examina se a amplitude exegética que tem sido atribuída ao dispositivo desde 1988 - de vedação às candidaturas apartidárias - mantém-se harmônica, contemporaneamente, aos fundamentos da República, aos direitos fundamentais da Constituição e às normas internacionais de Direitos Humanos.
