Handbook of Latin American Studies, Vol. 76
Beginning with Number 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research underway in specialized areas.

Latin American Collection Concepts
Though still hampered by some challenging obstacles, Latin American collection development is not the static, tradition-bound field many believe it to be. Latin American studies librarians have confronted these difficulties head-on and developed strategies to adapt to the field's continuous digital advancements. Presenting perspectives from several independent Latin American libraries, this collection of new essays covers the history of collecting, current strategies in collection development, collaborative collection development, buying trips, and future trends and new technologies.
Women's Studies for the Future
Established as an academic field in the 1970s, women's studies is a relatively young but rapidly growing area of study. Not only has the number of scholars working in this subject expanded exponentially, but women's studies has become institutionalized, offering graduate degrees and taking on departmental status in many colleges and universities. At the same time, this field--formed in the wake of the feminist movement--is finding itself in a precarious position in what is now often called a "post-feminist" society. This raises challenging issues for faculty, students, and administrators. How must the field adjust its goals and methods to continue to affect change in the future? Bringing tog...
Capitalismo Financiero y Comunicación
Si los procesos de financiarización de la economía son una característica dominante de la transformación socioeconómica mundial, analizar los aspectos y los cambios de la comunicación en relación a estas se torna una prioridad estratégica. En el marco contemporáneo de la globalización, entender la financiarización de la economía como proceso contribuye, desde una visión heterodoxa de la economía, a comprender las transformaciones en curso. El proceso de valorización financiera del capital ha transformado radicalmente el modelo hegemónico de comu- nicación que ahora más que nunca es liderado por el poder casi absoluto de un corporativismo financiero. No de ...
Socio-Environmental Regimes and Local Visions
This book presents oral histories, collective dialogues, and analyses of rural and indigenous livelihoods facing global socio-environmental regime change in Latin America (LA). Since the late twentieth century, rural and indigenous producers in LA, including agriculturists, coffee-growers, as well as small-scale farmers/fishers, and others, have had to resist, cope with, or adapt to a range of neoliberal socio-environmental regimes that impact their territories and associated resources, including water, production systems and ultimately their cultural traditions. In response, rural producers are using local visions and innovation niches to decide what, when, and how to resist, cope with unce...
Ciudadania, tecnologia y cultura
Toda conceptualización teórica sobre el relación “Ciudadanía - Nuevas Tecnologías de la Información” apunta, en nuestro tiempo, hacia la emergencia de un nuevo modelo de mediación social marcado por la radical singularidad creativa de sus agentes y por la nueva división internacional de trabajo. Experiencias como el movimiento del 15M en España o Yo soy 132 en México per-miten una lectura crítica del espíritu McBride en la demanda de derechos culturales por parte de las multitudes. Simultáneamente, se reconfigura el ecosistema cultural en torno a las redes de información y conocimiento. En este marco, la teoría crítica de la mediación se ve obligada a definir nuevos ancl...
Philosophy and Literature in Latin America
Philosophy and Literature in Latin America presents a unique and original view of the current state of development in Latin America of two disciplines that are at the core of the humanities. Divided into two parts, each section explores the contributions of distinguished American and Latin American experts and authors. The section on literature includes the literary activities of Latin Americans working in the United States, an area in which very little research has been demonstrated and, for that reason, will add an interesting new dimension to the field of Latin American studies.
Los dueños del periodismo
El periodismo tiene dueños y, por tanto, los periodistas, también. La famosa frase de Thomas Jefferson «Prefiero periódicos sin gobierno, a gobierno sin periódicos» suena muy atractiva pero a estas alturas de la historia no es rigurosa: detrás de los medios de comunicación no sólo está la influencia política (y más cuando se trata de alta política de Estado) sino, sobre todo, la influencia económica, unida a la financiera y a la empresarial en general. Todos los sectores productivos de relevancia quieren invertir en las empresas de comunicación que ya no son tales sino elementos de un sistema, el mercado. Jefferson vivió a caballo entre los siglos XVIII y XIX. A finales del X...
