Social Movements and Latin American Philosophy
Social Movements and Latin American Philosophy: From Ciudad Juarez to Ayotzinapa provides a historical and theoretical analysis of the Ayotzinapa social movement from the perspective of Latin American philosophy to provide a deeper understanding of the challenges that social movements face in the context of extreme violence. Luis Rubén Díaz Cepeda analyzes the complete cycle of mobilization appertaining to Ciudad Juárez, the Movement for Peace with Justice and Dignity, and the Ayotzinapa social movement. Guided by the theories of Enrique Dussel, Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Ernesto Laclau, and Santiago Castro-Gomez, Díaz Cepeda addresses questions of how a social movement is born, how the distinct social movement organizations should articulate to form a movement of movements, what (if at all) the limits and extent of these organizations should be. In raising and addressing such questions, Díaz Cepeda argues in favor of a soft articulation and the perennial need for social movement organizations. Scholars of Latin American studies, philosophy, history, and sociology will find this book particularly useful.
Forms of Disappointment
Analyzes parallel developments in post–Cold War literature and film from Cuba and Angola to trace a shared history of revolutionary enthusiasm, disappointment, and solidarity. In Forms of Disappointment, Lanie Millar traces the legacies of anti-imperial solidarity in Cuban and Angolan novels and films after 1989. Cuba’s intervention in Angola’s post-independence civil war from 1976 to 1991 was its longest and most engaged internationalist project and left a profound mark on the culture of both nations. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Millar argues, Cuban and Angolan writers and filmmakers responded to this collective history and adapted to new postsocialist realities in analogous wa...
At the Crossroads of Music and Social Justice
Music is powerful and transformational, but can it spur actual social change? A strong collection of essays, At the Crossroads of Music and Social Justice studies the meaning of music within a community to investigate the intersections of sound and race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and differing abilities. Ethnographic work from a range of theoretical frameworks uncovers and analyzes the successes and limitations of music's efficacies in resolving conflicts, easing tensions, reconciling groups, promoting unity, and healing communities. This volume is rooted in the Crossroads Section for Difference and Representation of the Society for Ethnomusicology, whose mandate is to address issues of diversity, difference, and underrepresentation in the society and its members' professional spheres. Activist scholars who contribute to this volume illuminate possible pathways and directions to support musical diversity and representation. At the Crossroads of Music and Social Justice is an excellent resource for readers interested in real-world examples of how folklore, ethnomusicology, and activism can, together, create a more just and inclusive world.
La crítica en el margen
Para mantener la lógica de su sistema social y económico, la Modernidad alimenta una zona oscura, una sombra que hace posible la imposición de modelos, de instituciones y conceptos; es decir, reproduce la colonialidad. Desde diferentes puntos de análisis, los autores aquí reunidos exigen la recuperación de la pluralidad; hacen del margen es decir, de todo aquello que fue marginado, relegado un observatorio para cuestionar el autoproclamado «centro». En esta dirección, el conocimiento por el que se pronuncia el presente libro efectúa un deslinde con respecto del actual estado de las cosas; no sólo de ciertos planteamientos, sino de aquello que comprende lo social. Conviven en él visiones que dan vuelta a los mapas, que invierten la geografía del conocimiento para enfrentar los problemas desde el Sur y reposicionar, de manera urgente, la Independencia de Haití la primera en América, la négritude o el feminismo decolonial, entre otros, para suscitar una lectura distinta de la genealogía y del pensamiento latinoamericano.
