Ideology, Politics and Demands in Spanish Language, Literature and Film
This book comprises various chapters which explore a variety of topics related to the manner in which ideological and epistemological changes in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries shaped the Spanish language, literature, and film, among other forms of expression, in both Spain and Latin America, and how these media served the purpose of spreading ideas and demands. There are articles on ideological representations of linguistic differences and sameness; linguistic changes associated with loan words and the ideas they bring in modifying our communicative landscape; the role of the Catholic religion on the construction of our dictionary; analysis of some political discourses, ideologies and social imaginaries; new visions of old literature (a return to the parody in the Middle Ages to analyze its moderness) and postmodern narrative; discussions on contemporary Spanish poetry and Central American literature; a new return to the liberation philosophy by analyzing Ellacuría´s work; and several studies about concepts such as capitalism, patriarchy, identity, masculinity, homosexuality, globalization, and the Resistence in several forms of expression.

The Church at the Grassroots in Latin America
This text assesses the impact of the liberationist Catholic Church on Latin American society and culture. Moving away from focusing on leaders, clergy and institutional elites, it analyzes the local, grassroots level and provides accounts of the reality of progressive movements within the Church.
Liquid Borders
Liquid Borders provides a timely and critical analysis of the large-scale migration of people across borders, which has sent shockwaves through the global world order in recent years. In this book, internationally recognized scholars and activists from a variety of fields analyze key issues related to diasporic movements, displacements, exiles, "illegal" migrants, border crossings, deportations, maritime ventures, and the militarization of borders from political, economic, and cultural perspectives. Ambitious in scope, with cases stretching from the Mediterranean to Australia, the US/Mexico border, Venezuela, and deterritorialized sectors in Colombia and Central America, the various contributions are unified around the notion of freedom of movement, and the recognition of the need to think differently about ideas of citizenship and sovereignty around the world. Liquid Borders will be of interest to policy makers, and to researchers across the humanities, sociology, area studies, politics, international relations, geography, and of course migration and border studies.
Estudios sobre la cultura y las identidades sociales
Este libro arroja luz sobre un sinnúmero de problemas centrales en el desarrollo de nuestros tiempos. Y en esa línea, elabora una amplia y profunda reflexión en torno a los dos grandes temas, complejos e indisociables, de su tarea como intelectual y científico social: la cultura y la identidad. Dos temas que no podrían ser más pertinentes en la época actual, en la que resulta cada vez más necesario contribuir a la discusión intelectual desde una posición seria y crítica que pueda incidir en las diversas realidades sociales, y en la que es indispensable formar personas críticas y conscientes, informadas y capaces de proponer, crear, cuestionar y transformar su entorno.
