En Colombia la economía política de la información, la comunicación y la cultura (EPICC) es una corriente teórica poco conocida dentro de los estudios en comunicación, debido a algunas particularidades socioculturales y a la influencia de la Escuela de Frankfurt y de los Estudios Culturales británicos. A partir de lecturas alternativas de esas dos escuelas, se privilegian, hasta hoy, los enfoques culturalistas, a la vez que continúa predominando, en la mayor parte de los programas de formación académica, el enfoque instrumentalista sobre los estudios de medios. En consecuencia, la EPICC no ha estado presente en los programas de formación e investigación, ni hace parte del corpus ...
Unlike a conventional war waged against a standing army, a "dirty war" is waged against individuals, groups, or ideas considered subversive. Originally associated with Argentina's military regime from 1976-1983, the term has since been applied to neighboring dictatorships during the period. Indeed, it has become a byword for state-sponsored repression anywhere in the world. The first edition of this reference illustrated the concept by describing the regimes of Argentina, Chile (1973-1990), and Uruguay (1973-1985), which tortured, murdered, and disappeared thousands of people in the name of anticommunism while thousands more were driven into exile. The second edition expands the scope to inc...
The experience of Mexican nationals who send money home from the United States forms the basis for this study. The authors identify three stages of the remittance process: the First Mile, when decisions are in the hands of the remittance sender; the Intermediary Stage, comprising systems that facilitate the cross-border transfer of funds; and the Last Mile, where the funds reach the hands of the remittance recipient. This analysis, covering the last eight years, may provide guidance for other remittance sending and receiving countries that seek to encourage formalization of the flow.

The Latin American centennial celebrations of independence (ca.1909-1925) constituted a key moment in the consolidation of national symbols and emblems, while also producing a renewed focus on transnational affinities that generated a series of discourses about continental unity. At the same time, a boom in archaeological explorations, within a general climate of scientific positivism provided Latin Americans with new information about their grandiose former civilizations, such as the Inca and the Aztec, which some argued were comparable to ancient Greek and Egyptian cultures. These discourses were at first political, before transitioning to the cultural sphere. As a result, artists and part...
