Educar el nuevo príncipe: ¿asunto racial o de ciudadanía?
La escuela y la constitución de los sistemas nacionales de educación del siglo XX fueron privilegiados como estrategias para formar al ciudadano, entendido como el nuevo príncipe, un sujeto moderno distanciado de los métodos educativos tradicionales impuestos por la familia y la Iglesia. El presente libro intenta dilucidar algunos aspectos de los imaginarios nacionales en la primera mitad del siglo XX y sus expresiones en el campo de la educación, así como su incidencia en la constitución de algunas de las subjetividades contemporáneas. De esta manera, la autora pone en duda y contrasta las diferentes representaciones sociales difundidas por intelectuales pertenecientes a grupos modernos de las élites, la legitimación de la razón, la idea de raza y el desencantamiento del mundo y las sociedades modernas, fundamento inherente de los Estados-nación.
Marijuana Boom
Before Colombia became one of the world’s largest producers of cocaine in the 1980s, traffickers from the Caribbean coast partnered with American buyers in the 1970s to make the South American country the main supplier of marijuana for a booming US drug market, fueled by the US hippie counterculture. How did Colombia become central to the creation of an international drug trafficking circuit? Marijuana Boom is the story of this forgotten history. Combining deep archival research with unprecedented oral history, Lina Britto deciphers a puzzle: Why did the Colombian coffee republic, a model of Latin American representative democracy and economic modernization, transform into a drug paradise, and at what cost?
When Women Have Wings
Based on sixteen months of ethnographic field research in a working-class women's community center run by a local feminist NGO, this account provides both working- and middle-class women's perspectives on the professionalization of feminist NGOs and the process as it unfolds. The author describes the encounters between working- and middle-class women and how the women's center attempts to negotiate the pressures of feminism and professionalization. Murdock depicts the frailty and complexity of cross-class organizing and the ways that this process may be threatened by professionalized NGO styles.
Histories of Solitude
By combining chronological coverage, analytical breadth, and interdisciplinary approaches, these two volumes—Histories of Solitude and Histories of Perplexity—study the histories of Colombia over the last two centuries as illustrations of the histories of democracy across the Americas. The volumes bring together over 40 scholars based in Colombia, the United States, England, and Canada working in various disciplines to discuss how a country that has been consistently presented as a rarity in Latin America provides critical examples to re-examine major historical problems: republicanism and liberalism; export economies and agrarian modernization; populism and cultural politics of state fo...
Good Victims
In Good Victims, Roxani Krystalli investigates the politics of victimhood as a feminist question. Based on in-depth engagement in Colombia over the course of a decade, Krystalli shows how victimhood becomes a pillar of reimagining the state in the wake of war, and of bringing a vision of that state into being through bureaucratic encounters. The book also sheds light on the ethical and methodological dilemmas that arise when contemplating the legacies of transitional justice mechanisms.
Affect, Gender and Sexuality in Latin America
This book emphasizes the significance of affects, feelings and emotions in how we think about politics, gender and sexuality in Latin America. Considering the complex and even contradictory social processes that the region is experiencing today, many Latin American authors are turning to affect to find a key to understand our present situation, to revisit our history, and to imagine new possibilities for the future. This tendency has shown such a specificity and sometimes departure from northern productions that it compels us to focus more deeply on its own arguments, methods, and critical contributions. This volume features essays that explore the particularities of Latin American ways of thinking about affect and how they can shed new light into our understanding of, gender, sexuality and politics.
Memoria y formación
Producto de investigación grupal e interdisciplinar y de un proceso continuo de acumulación de conocimientos, el libro Memoria y formación: configuraciones de la subjetividad en ecologías violentas es, por si mismo, parte de esta nueva corriente de los estudios sobre la violencia en nuestro país; se nutre de ella, reinterpreta los avances teóricos y metodológicos logrados en la comprensión histórica, sociológica, política y psicológica del conflicto armado colombiano, y establece áreas en torno a las cuales su aporte es novedoso: la consolidación de la memoria del conflico armado como campo cultural, las relaciones entre obra artística, subjetividad, formación y memoria, la subjetivación y formación ético-política que emergen en la memoria de maestros y jóvenes, la enseñanza de la historia reciente sobre violencia política, y la participación de la pedagogía crítica en la configuración de una pedagogía de la memoria en contextos de violencia política.
