Espacios de transculturación en América Latina
Los artículos que componen este libro provienen de algunas de las mejores ponencias presentadas en las V Jornadas de Estudiantes de Postgrado en Humanidades, Artes y Ciencias Sociales, realizadas entre el 19 y el 21 de enero del 2004 en la Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades de la Universidad de Chile. En esa ocasión, el tema a partir del cual invitamos a pensar y discutir aspectos de la realidad cultural latinoamericana fue el concepto de transculturación, el cual implica, en el contexto de las regiones de hegemonía entre culturas, un proceso en el cual la cultura hegemonizada pierde ciertos elementos, a la vez que actúa y/o reacciona creativamente generando rasgos nuevos. De esta for...
Mito y Modernidad en la obra de Rosamel del Valle
La siguiente investigación aborda la relación entre mito y modernidad en la obra literaria (poemas, cuentos, novelas y crónicas) del autor chileno Rosamel del Valle (Curacaví, 1901 – Santiago de Chile, 1965). En sus distintos textos existe una tensión entre un proyecto poético basado en una visión mítica del mundo y un contexto histórico que privilegia posturas más racionalistas, relegando lo poético y lo mítico. Ya en el siglo XIX la modernidad y los fenómenos asociados de la modernización producen el desplazamiento de la poesía como discurso y del poeta como persona a una situación deficitaria dentro de la sociedad, lo que se extiende en el siglo XX. Debido a este conflic...

Memory and Punishment
This book examines the criminalisation of denials of genocide and of other mass atrocities in Europe and discusses the implications of protecting institutional historical memory through criminal law. The analysis highlights the tensions with free speech, investigating the relationship between criminal law and historical memory. The book paves the way for a broader discussion about fake news, ‘post-truth’ scenarios, and free expression in a digital world. The author underscores the need to protect well-founded factual records from the dangers of misinformation. Historical denialism and the related jurisprudence represent a key step in exploring this complex field. The book combines an int...
Painting a New World
"The little-known story of viceregal Mexico is told by an international team of scholars whose work was previously available only piecemeal or not at all in English. Much of their research was undertaken especially for this volume."--BOOK JACKET.
Occupational Science
Occupational Science: Society, Inclusion, Participation is the must have resource for occupational therapists, occupational scientists, students and researchers. The book begins with a comprehensive review of the current literature and the knowledge generated to date. Reasons for the field's limited impact are proposed, including its focus on individuals rather than groups and communities, its psychological view of occupation, and its narrow focus on socially approved occupations. Global realities such as poverty, anti-social behaviour and ageing populations are discussed and implications for action are considered. The second section of the books comprises a series of chapters that address t...
