The Business of Leisure
The Business of Leisure critically surveys a wide selection of travel practices, places, and time periods in considering the development of the hospitality industry in Latin America and the Caribbean. Considering tourism from early sojourners to contemporary dark tourism thrill seekers, contributors to The Business of Leisure examine key economic, political, social, and environmental issues. A number of eminent scholars in the field draw on original research focusing on Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, and Peru. In addition to describing key aspects of industry development in a variety of settings, contributors also consider diverse ways in which histories of travel relate to larger political and cultural questions.
The Everyday Atlantic
Rethinks the concepts of nation, imperialism, and globalization by examining the everyday writing of the newspaper chronicle and blog in Spain and Latin America. In The Everyday Atlantic, Tania Gentic offers a new understanding of the ways in which individuals and communities perceive themselves in the twentieth-century Atlantic world. She grounds her study in first-time comparative readings of daily newspaper texts, written in Spanish, Portuguese, and Catalan. Known as chronicles, these everyday literary writings are a precursor to the blog and reveal the ephemerality of identity as it is represented and received daily. Throughout the text Gentic offers fresh readings of well-known and less...
Public Pages
Public reading programs are flourishing in many Latin American cities in the new millennium. They defy the conception of reading as solitary and private by literally taking literature to the streets to create new communities of readers. From institutional and official to informal and spontaneous, the reading programs all use public space, distribute creative writing to a mass public, foster collective rather than individual reading, and provide access to literature in unconventional arenas. The first international study of contemporary print culture in the Americas, Public Pages reveals how recent cultural policy and collective literary reading intervene in public space to promote social int...
Los cercos del debate sobre restitución de tierras
La Ley 1448 o Ley de Víctimas y Restitución de Tierras, aprobada en junio de 2011, es una de las banderas del presidente colombiano Juan Manuel Santos. Tiene como fin resarcir a las víctimas del conflicto armado y promover la paz desde un enfoque agrario y de justicia transicional, cuando el país se proyecta hacia el posconflicto. Con una novedosa metodología que cruza el análisis de encuadre y el análisis retórico, Maryluz Vallejo Mejía y Catalina Montoya Londoño reconstruyen la trayectoria del debate público sobre la Ley 1448 desde que entró en vigencia, en 2012. Mediante el estudio de más de mil quinientas piezas de siete periódicos nacionales y regionales, las autoras demue...
Histories of Perplexity
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 past 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...
Estrictamente confidencial
Esta experiencia lectora, rica en fuentes archivísticas y documentales, busca ofrecer un marco comprensivo de la historia nacional, especialmente entre las décadas del treinta y del cincuenta cuando están fechadas la mayoría de las cartas del doctor Eduardo Santos, abogado, expresidente de la República (1938-1942), político, periodista y humanista.Su interés es el de mostrar al periodista en su "casa de cristal" —metáfora acuñada por Santos en alusión a la transparencia que debería rodear su misión pública—, al político insobornable y escrupuloso que en estos escritos deja lecciones de honradez y discreción; al intelectual de hondura humanística, polímata como pocos, que sin ambicionarlo se convirtió en el propietario del periódico más exitoso del siglo XX en Colombia, y al ser humano, magnánimo y sensible, que cultivaba la soledad tanto como sus amistades selectas.
Shaping Peacebuilding in Colombia
During the second half of the 20th century, Colombia suffered extreme levels of political violence. This book explores the involvement of the international community in peacebuilding efforts in Colombia since 2016. In particular, it examines how interventions were framed in order to promote and sustain their involvement and questions whether these frames reflected reality within Colombia. The book focuses on key donors, including the US, the EU, Canada, Sweden and the UK, as well as multinational actors, such as the UN and the World Bank, to demonstrate how their framing of local issues for national and international consumption can have real world implications for peacebuilding efforts on the ground.
Una historia todavia verde
El voluminoso caudal que ofrece la historia del periodismo en Colombia para omprender el país desde otras orillas ideológicas y disciplinares se enriquece con la historia de sus afluentes: las especialidades periodísticas que se caracterizan por la calidad de sus fuentes. De este modo, el periodismo ambiental abreva en las ciencias naturales y de allí el origen de sus padres fundadores, como el botánico de sotana Enrique Pérez Arbeláez, quien hizo de su columna de El Tiempo un púlpito para la defensa del ambiente desde finales de los años treinta hasta su muerte en 1972, año de la primera cumbre de la tierra de Estocolmo
The Politics of Taste
In The Politics of Taste Ana María Reyes examines the works of Colombian artist Beatriz González and Argentine-born art critic, Marta Traba, who championed González's art during Colombia's National Front coalition government (1958–74). During this critical period in Latin American art, artistic practice, art criticism, and institutional objectives came into strenuous yet productive tension. While González’s triumphant debut excited critics who wanted to cast Colombian art as modern, sophisticated, and universal, her turn to urban lowbrow culture proved deeply unsettling. Traba praised González's cursi (tacky) recycling aesthetic as daringly subversive and her strategic localism as r...
