Identity Investments
After Pinochet's dictatorship ended in Chile in 1990, the country experienced a rapid decline in poverty along with a quickly growing economy. As a result, Chile's middle class expanded dramatically, echoing trends seen across the Global South as neoliberalism took firm hold in the 1990s and the early 2000s. Identity Investments examines the politics and consumption practices of this vast and varied fraction of the Chilean population, seeking to better understand their value systems and the histories that informed them. Using participant observation, interviews, and photographs, Joel Stillerman develops a unique typology of the middle class, made up of activists, moderate Catholics, pragmati...
In Pursuit of Health Equity
Throughout Latin America, social medicine has been widely recognized for its critical perspectives on mainstream understandings of health and for its progressive policy achievements. Nevertheless, it has been an elusive subject: hard to define, with puzzling historical discontinuities and misconceptions about its origins. Drawing on a vast archive and with an ambitious narrative scope that transcends national borders, Eric D. Carter offers the first comprehensive intellectual and political history of the social medicine movement in Latin America, from the early twentieth century to the present day. While maintaining a consistent focus on health equity, social medicine has evolved with changi...

Humanities
Beginning with volume 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 more than 130 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 under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon became the editor in 2000. The subject categories for Volume 58 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Humanities Art History (including ethnohistory) Literature (including translations from the Spanish and Portuguese) Philosophy: Latin American Thought Music

Por la salud del cuerpo
Al revisar el cuidado médico del cuerpo y la intervención del Estado en el campo sanitario del Chile contemporáneo, esta compilación contribuye a entender la vinculación entre enfermedades, reproducción, formas corporales, clase social, diferencia sexual y atribuciones de género que han nutrido múltiples interpretaciones aun vivas en la cultura popular y en la cultura médica. Pero también nos introduce en la historia de una vertiente del proyecto civilizador latinoamericano que atiende, y en ocasiones se obsesiona, con la ausencia de la higiene y las campañas que la promovían, con la educación de los sentidos y los instintos, y con el papel de la conciencia y la voluntad en el dominio del cuerpo y sus apetitos.
Pandemic and Narration: Covid-19 Narratives in Latin America
'Pandemic and Narration: Covid-19 Narratives in Latin America' sheds light on how, as Covid-19 spread, infecting and killing millions across the world, life not only continued to be experienced but also continued to be narrated. By putting together this volume, we help understand what happened in the region from a perspective in which, unlike most of what we saw during the health emergency, numbers, statistics and percentages are not at the centre of the analysis. The essays gathered here foreground something else: the manifold ways Covid-19 was subjectively and collectively narrated in the news, government reports, political speeches, NGO communications, social media, literature, songs and ...
Captioning and Subtitling for d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing Audiences
Captioning and Subtitling for d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing Audiences is a comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of captioning and subtitling, a discipline that has evolved quickly in recent years. This guide is of a practical nature and contains examples and exercises at the end of each chapter. Some of the tasks stimulate reflection on the practice and reception, while others focus on particular captioning and SDH areas, such as paralinguistic features, music and sound effects. The requirements of d/Deaf and hard of hearing audiences are analysed in detail and are accompanied by linguistic and technical considerations. These considerations, though shared with generic subtitling param...

Dar a luz en chile
Quiénes, cómo y dónde eran asistidas las mujeres al momento de dar a luz en el Chile decimonónico son las preguntas centrales de este estudio. En la época, la asistencia sanitaria del parto se convirtió en una creciente preocupación social y médica que inspiró dos transformaciones paralelas y paulatinas: el aumento del control científico del parto y la reducción de la influencia de aspectos folclóricos y de prácticas médico-populares ligadas a él. Dar a Luz en Chile…explora en la historia de la medicina popular, de la medicina científica y en las relaciones de género que caracterizaron los vínculos entre parturientas, parteras, matronas y médicos y que inspiraron, más tarde, las políticas de protección médico-maternal del siglo XX. Al examinar la asistencia del parto, este estudio contribuye a la comprensión integral de un hecho social de implicancia sustantiva no sólo para la población femenina sino para la sociedad chilena en su conjunto.
