When Democracy Breaks
This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read on the Oxford Academic platform and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. Democracy is often described in two opposite ways, as either wonderfully resilient or dangerously fragile. Both characterizations can be correct, depending on the context. When Democracy Breaks aims to deepen our understanding of what separates democratic resilience from democratic fragility by focusing on the latter. The volume's collaborators--experts in the history and politics of the societies covered in their chapters--explore eleven episodes of democratic brea...
Haciendas and Ayllus
The existence of a Spanish and criollo landed elite and an Indian peasant mass has been the distinguishing feature of the Amerindian societies of Latin America for most of the past half-millennium. In Peru and Bolivia (colonial Alto Peru), the dominant theme in rural life was the interaction of these two groups as manifested in the relationship between the hacienda and the self-governing Indian communities (ayllus).
The Argentinian Dictatorship and its Legacy
This edited volume provides a comprehensive overview of the renewal of academic engagement in the Argentinian dictatorship in the context of the post-2001 crisis. Significant social and judicial changes and the opening of archives have led to major revisions of the research dedicated to this period. As such, the contributors offer a unique presentation to an English-speaking audience, mapping and critiquing these developments and widening the recent debates in Argentina about the legacy of the dictatorship in this long-term perspective.
Imprensa, comunicações e ditaduras na Argentina e no Brasil: narrativas de um presente sombrio e lutas por memórias públicas
O conceito de imprensa de massa é compreendido como um conjunto heterogêneo e complexo de órgãos componentes dos meios de comunicação social inseridos nos campos cultural e político. A reunião de estudos que compõem este livro objetiva contribuir, nesse sentido, para o debate e a produção de conhecimento acerca das variadas relações entre a imprensa de massa e os contextos de implantação, desenvolvimento histórico e crise transicional dos regimes ditatoriais de exceção, que se instituíram ao longo das décadas de 1960 a 1980 na Argentina e no Brasil. Busca-se, também, empreender uma abordagem de caráter multidisciplinar em torno desse tema central, reunindo e pondo em diálogo diferentes pesquisas acadêmicas, oriundas da História, da Sociologia e da Comunicação Social.
El final del silencio
Los rostros hundidos de los soldados regresando de la guerra de Malvinas, las Madres de Plaza de Mayo dando vueltas a la pirámide con sus pancartas en alto y Raúl Alfonsín hablándoles a las multitudes que colmaban las calles son las imágenes que condensan nuestras memorias y saberes sobre la última "transición a la democracia". Sin embargo, esas imágenes configuran un relato memorial que supone una selección de hechos, representaciones y actores en detrimento de otros elementos olvidados, matizados o silenciados. ¿En qué momento los derechos humanos y el reclamo por los desaparecidos y la represión comenzaron a ser nodales en el discurso público y dominante? ¿Cómo fue que ampl...
Historia de la última dictadura militar
A más de cuatro décadas del golpe de Estado que le dio inicio, la dictadura militar de 1976-1983 sigue siendo objeto de interpretaciones y controversias. ¿Por qué hubo un golpe el 24 de marzo de 1976? ¿Hasta qué punto la dictadura fue una completa anomalía en una historia jalonada por intervenciones militares? ¿De qué tipo de dictadura se trató? ¿Es posible decir que cumplió sus objetivos, que "tuvo éxito"? ¿Qué se sabía sobre el ejercicio de la represión y las violaciones a los derechos humanos? ¿Qué papel tuvieron los civiles en la gestación del golpe y en el gobierno? ¿Qué actitudes adoptaron los actores políticos, sindicales, corporativos y cómo se comportó la so...
Disappearances in Mexico
This volume presents an interdisciplinary analysis of the practice of disappearances in Mexico, from the period of the so-called ‘dirty war’ to the current crisis of disappearances associated with the country’s ‘war on drugs’, during which more than 80,000 people have disappeared. The volume brings together contributions by distinguished scholars from Mexico, Argentina and Europe, who focus their chapters on four broad axes of enquiry. In Part I, chapters examine the phenomenon of disappearances in its historical and present-day forms, and the struggles for memory around the disappeared in Mexico with reference to Argentina. Part II addresses the political dimensions of disappearan...
