Civilité et politique
Pour nous inviter à comprendre comment une certaine idée de nation argentine s'est construite à Buenos Aires au XIXe siècle, l'auteur nous montre en quoi les formes de sociabilité associative, tissées dans le cadre de manifestations socio-culturelles particulières, se sont imposées aux élites de la ville comme étant les plus aptes à promouvoir le projet politique de nation. Courtoises, policées et pacifiées, ces relations se sont inscrites dans des pratiques diversifiées qui ont permis à ces élites d'appréhender progressivement la société civile et la nation comme communauté d'appartenance. Pilar Gonzalez Bemaldo de Quiros met ainsi en lumière une configuration de l'imaginaire national dans le Rio de la Plata post-colonial. Elle dévoile, dans le même temps, comment la notion de " sociabilité ", comprise comme l'expression d'une société policée, s'est enracinée dans l'idée civique de nation, idée qui sera prise comme modèle par les jeunes républiques hispano-américaines.
Civilidad y política en los orígenes de la nación Argentina
Trascendiendo los habituales an lisis socioecon micos que dominaron largo tiempo los estudios hist ricos, la autora opta por una visi n m s moderna al introducir el criterio de sociabilidad, entendido como pr ctica relacional, Para poder aprehender el proceso de construcci n de la naci n en Argentina. Dentro de su an lisis, otro elemento innovador, la cartograf a experimental, se vuelve indispensable.
Histories of Solitude
By combining chronological coverage, analytical breadth, and interdisciplinary approaches, these two volumes—Histories of Solitude and Histories of Perplexity—study the histories of Colombia over the last two centuries as illustrations of the histories of democracy across the Americas. The volumes bring together over 40 scholars based in Colombia, the United States, England, and Canada working in various disciplines to discuss how a country that has been consistently presented as a rarity in Latin America provides critical examples to re-examine major historical problems: republicanism and liberalism; export economies and agrarian modernization; populism and cultural politics of state fo...
Park, Tenement, Slaughterhouse
Welche Wahrnehmungen und Vorstellungen von ihrer Stadt hatte die Oberschicht im späten 19. Jahrhundert? Antonio Carbone zeigt dies exemplarisch am Beispiel von Buenos Aires, wo sich – an einem Wendepunkt der Geschichte des modernen Argentinien und der globalen Stadtgeschichte – nach dramatischen Cholera- und Gelbfieberepidemien eine breite Diskussion um die »Krise des Urbanen« entzündete, die zu einer partiellen Umgestaltung der Stadt führte. In seiner Kultur-, Sozial-, Global- und Umweltgeschichte nimmt er besonders drei urbane Brennpunkte in den Blick: die industriellen Schlachthöfe, die von Migrant_innen bewohnten Mietshäuser und einen Park im Stadtteil Palermo.
The Cambridge Companion to Tango
Tango music rapidly became a global phenomenon as early as the beginning of the twentieth century, with about 30% of gramophone records made between 1903 and 1910 devoted to it. Its popularity declined between the 1950s and the 1980s but has since risen to new heights. This Companion offers twenty chapters from varying perspectives around music, dance, poetry, and interdisciplinary studies, including numerous visual and audio illustrations in print and on the accompanying webpages. Its multidisciplinary approach demonstrates how different disciplines intersect through performative, historical, ethnographic, sociological, political, and anthropological perspectives. These thematic continuities illuminate diverse international perspectives and highlight how the art form flourished in Argentina, Uruguay and abroad, while tracing its international and cultural impact over the last century. This book is an innovative resource for scholars and students of tango music, particularly those seeking a diverse international perspective on the subject.
Independencias iberoamericanas
Como consecuencia de los festejos por el bicentenario de la Revolución Francesa y de las transiciones democráticas en América Latina, a comienzos de la década de 1990 resurge el interés tanto en las interpretaciones de la revolución como en la historia política e institucional de los países latinoamericanos. Esto da lugar a una extraordinaria renovación historiográfica vinculada al debate sobre las rupturas revolucionarias de independencia en Iberoamérica. Los trabajos reunidos en este volumen, presentados en un coloquio sobre las perspectivas históricas y los debates contemporáneos en torno a las independencias iberoamericanas, realizado en 2009 en la Universidad París Diderot...
Transnational Perspectives on Latin America
Latin America is a region made up of multiple states with a diversity of races, ethnicities, and cultures. In 'Transnational Perspectives on Latin America', Luis Roniger argues that a regional perspective is significant for understanding this part of the Western hemisphere. He claims that geopolitical, sociological, and cultural trends molded a contiguity of influences, shaping a transnational arena of connected histories, cross-border interactions, and shared visions, complementing the process of separate nation-state formation.--
Exile and Nation-State Formation in Argentina and Chile, 1810–1862
This book traces the impact of exile in the formation of independent republics in Chile and the Río de la Plata in the decades after independence. Exile was central to state and nation formation, playing a role in the emergence of territorial borders and Romantic notions of national difference, while creating a transnational political culture that spanned the new independent nations. Analyzing the mobility of a large cohort of largely elite political émigrés from Chile and the Río de la Plata across much of South America before 1862, Edward Blumenthal reinterprets the political thought of well-known figures in a transnational context of exile. As Blumenthal shows, exile was part of a reflexive process in which elites imagined the nation from abroad while gaining experience building the same state and civil society institutions they considered integral to their republican nation-building projects.
Cycles of Conflict, Centuries of Change
This important collection explores how Mexico’s tumultuous past informs its uncertain present and future. Cycles of crisis and reform, of conflict and change, have marked Mexico’s modern history. The final decades of the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries each brought efforts to integrate Mexico into globalizing economies, pressures on the country’s diverse peoples, and attempts at reform. The crises of the late eighteenth century and the late nineteenth led to revolutionary mobilizations and violent regime changes. The wars for independence that began in 1810 triggered conflicts that endured for decades; the national revolution that began in 1910 shaped Mexico for most of...
