The Geography of Central America and Mexico
Connecting the massive landscapes of North and South America are Mexico and Central America. An area of fascination and study for geographers and scholars from around the world, for millennia these lands and people have played important roles in the discoveries and distributions of civilizations, resources, and nations. These regions have stimulated a large amount of research and publications across the sub-disciplines of geography. The Geography of Central America and Mexico: A Scholarly Guide and Bibliography by Thomas A. Rumney collects, organizes, and presents as many of these publications as possible to encourage efforts in the teaching, study, and continuing scholarship of the geograph...

Citizens of Fear
Citizens in Latin American cities live in constant fear, amidst some of the most dangerous conditions on earth. In that vast region, 140 thousand people die violently each year, and one out of three citizens have been directly or indirectly victimized by violence. Citizens of Fear, in part, assembles survey results of social scientists who document the pervasiveness of violence. But the numbers tell only part of the story.
The Routledge Handbook to the Culture and Media of the Americas
Exploring the culture and media of the Americas, this handbook places particular emphasis on collective and intertwined experiences and focuses on the transnational or hemispheric dimensions of cultural flows and geocultural imaginaries that shape the literature, arts, media and other cultural expressions in the Americas.

Online Activism in Latin America
Online Activism in Latin America examines the innovative ways in which Latin American citizens, and Latin@s in the U.S., use the Internet to advocate for causes that they consider just. The contributions to the volume analyze citizen-launched websites, interactive platforms, postings, and group initiatives that support a wide variety of causes, ranging from human rights to disability issues, indigenous groups’ struggles, environmental protection, art, poetry and activism, migrancy, and citizen participation in electoral and political processes. This collection bears witness to the early stages of a very unique and groundbreaking form of civil activism culture now growing in Latin America.
Territories of the Visual in Spain and Spanish America
While studying the theory and contemporary impact of ‘embodied’ viewing, this book celebrates the emergence and development of Visual Studies as a major subject of research and teaching in the field of Hispanic Studies within the UK over the last thirty years. By exploring current routes of investigation, as well as analysing future pathways for study in the field, seven highly distinguished Spanish and Latin American scholars examine their own entry into Visual Studies, and discuss the major trends and changes which occurred in the field as matters of the visual gradually became embedded in higher-education curricula and research trajectories. Each scholar also lays out a current resear...
¿Cómo se sostiene la democracia? La resiliencia democrática en México
¿De qué depende que la democracia perdure? Una pregunta como ésta no sólo reviste un interés abstracto o puramente intelectual. Hoy en día es una pregunta clave para entender los desafíos que enfrenta la democracia en numerosos países, México entre ellos. El propósito de los estudios reunidos en esta obra es analizar, precisamente, la capacidad de resistencia de la democracia mexicana ante la transformación política promovida por el gobierno de Andrés Manuel López Obrador. La premisa compartida es que el régimen político enfrenta la amenaza más real e inmediata de retroceso autoritario en al menos tres décadas. ¿De qué depende que la subversión democrática progrese, se ...
TVMorfosis 2
Pantallas, ecosistema de medios, TV, redes sociales, convergencia, transmedia, meta-medio, culturas participativas, nube, experiencias, consumo, ciudadanía, audiencias, usuarios y dispositivos móviles, entre otros elementos, constituyen la atmósfera de la era digital en la que se desenvuelve este libro. Auscultando el presente, oteando el pasado, vislumbrando el futuro, los autores de esta obra analizan la metamorfosis de la TV en el nuevo escenario comunicacional. Las reflexiones, en su conjunto, se alejan de posiciones tecnofílicas y tecnofóbicas. Ahora bien, retomando una de las preguntas que plantea Carlos Scolari, ¿Podemos seguir definiendo estas prácticas de consumo audiovisual como "ver televisión"? No hay respuestas definitivas ni certezas absolutas, en todo caso, este libro ofrece una serie de coordenadas desde donde pensar la condición comunicacional contemporánea. Lo convergente, afirma Guillermo Orozco, como tendencia y fenómeno contemporáneo distingue y a la vez define mucha de la interacción que todos tenemos con los diferentes dispositivos tecnológicos a nuestro alcance.
