Sociologies and the discursive power of religions
This book is about the counter-intuitive, awkward influence of religion on sociology in Mexico. More generally though, this is a book about societies in different world religions that strive for secularism on the one hand, and yet on the other hand may blend their most revered scientific rationalities with not onlu their pressing moral concerns, but also their most deeply held beliefs. The books offers no prescription for disentangling these apparently incompatible ways of knowing; it instead invites readers to challenge the acepted narratives, and to rethink the taken-for-granted secularism of the social sciences.
The Non-Religious and the State
As the number of the non-affiliated and religiously indifferent is on the rise, this book adds a hitherto absent historical dimension to the field of secular studies. It shows a variety of ways in which the non-religious at large - be it organizations, networks or even committed individuals - impact upon the interface between the state and the religious or the non-religious. To what specific legal statuses have these processes led? What elements were taken into consideration when making these decisions? Who opted for a recognition of a non-confessional lifestance and why? Conversely, who opted for a wall of separation and why? Are things that clear cut? Doesn't the variety of choices and frameworks offer a more varied spectrum? What continuities and discontinuities are to be observed in the history of seculars and their organizations? These patterns, divergent and entangled, are developed and explained within the broader conception of 'multiple secularisms'.
Law, Religion, Constitution
What is the place assigned to religion in the constitutions of contemporary States? What role is religion expected to perform in the fields that are the object of constitutional regulation? Is separation of religion and politics a necessary precondition for democracy and the rule of law? These questions are addressed in this book through an analysis of the constitutional texts that are in force in different parts of the world. Constitutions are at the centre of almost all contemporary legal systems and provide the principles and values that inspire the action of the national law-makers. After a discussion of some topics that are central to the constitutional regulation of religion, the book considers a number of national systems covering countries with a variety of religious and cultural backgrounds. The final section of the book is devoted to the discussion of the constitutional regulation of some particularly controversial issues, such as religious education, the relation between freedom of speech and freedom of religion, abortion, and freedom of conscience.
Asia and the Secular
This volume looks at the secular state in the context of contemporary Asia and investigates whether there existed before modernity antecedents to the condition of secularity, understood as the differentiation of the sphere of the religious from other spheres of social life. The chapters presented in this book examine this issue in national contexts by looking at the historical formation of lexicons that defined the "secular", the "secular state," and "secularism". This approach requires paying attention to modern vernacular languages and their precedents in written traditions with often a very long tradition. This book presents three interpretive frameworks: multiple modernities, variety of secularisms, and typologies of post-colonial secular states.

La objeción de conciencia en el área de la salud en América Latina
La objeción de conciencia en la atención de la salud es un tema que ha crecido en los tipos de problemas que plantea y en su complejidad en muchos países de América Latina. En este territorio, en general, el derecho es aún incipiente con respecto a las definiciones, a las prácticas de acomodamiento, sus límites y también el marco normativo. Asimismo, han aparecido, de la mano de algunas altas cortes y de producción local, ciertos análisis renovados e interesantes. El libro se propone abordar la cuestión de la objeción de conciencia en salud desde diversas perspectivas filosóficas, éticas, constitucionales, de sociología jurídica y de derecho comparado que parten de América Latina; pero que buscan aportar y dialogar con las discusiones abiertas en otros lugares del mundo.
Laicidad, derechos humanos y sexualidad en América Latina. Una mirada desde el Sistema Interamericano de Derechos Humanos
En América Latina, las disputas en torno a lo secular y lo religioso se han polarizado en las cuestiones sexuales y reproductivas, en el marco de una fuerte movilización política y jurídica de los sectores conservadores. Ante este escenario regional marcado por un proceso de secularización fragmentado, la laicidad puede resultar una herramienta útil para contrarrestar la influencia de lo confesional en la esfera pública y argumentar en favor de la autonomía de las personas para tomar decisiones trascendentes en sus vidas. Esta veta argumentativa ha sido utilizada en el Sistema Interamericano de Derechos Humanos, que ha desarrollado en los últimos años una lectura laica y garantista...
SENTENCIAS FEMINISTAS
Este libro es una manifestación de política prefigurativa de tipo jurídico. Una forma de activismo en la que un grupo adopta las estructuras y el estilo de razonamiento que promueve, modelando los objetivos políticos y sociales que se persiguen, bajo la premisa de dejar de lado la creencia de la inevitabilidad de las estructuras existentes y emprender la experiencia de poner en práctica ideas atrevidas. La reescritura de sentencias no es la única modalidad de política prefigurativa de tipo jurídico que existe, pero es una de las que más ha llamado la atención del pensamiento feminista e igualitario en los años recientes. Esta obra constituye el primer ejercicio de este tipo en Mé...
