    Abstract: Infolge der Moderne schwinden absolute Erklärungsprinzipien: Man sucht Orientierung, um seine Lebenswelt und den erfahrungswissenschaftlich aufgeschlossenen Kosmos zu überschauen. Seine sich in diesem Kontext ausbildende, nie ganz bewusst gestaltete Weltanschauung artikuliert der Mensch auch in der Literatur. Antonia Bräutigam analysiert anhand von Jenseitsreisen in Werken von Autoren wie Thomas Mann, Samuel Beckett und C.S. Lewis die durch die Moderne geprägte Weltanschauung und reflektiert diese philosophisch-theologisch. Literatur erweist sich dabei als locus theologicus, als Erkenntnisort für die Theologie, das Motiv der Jenseitsreise als Daseinsmetapher von hoher theologischer Relevanz

    Abstract: Originally published in 1979. American diplomacy during Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency has received much attention, with one notable exception-the United States' relations with Latin America. Irwin Gellman's book corrects this past neglect through a perceptive analysis of FDR's "Good Neighbor" efforts in Latin America. Based on a fresh examination of State Department records and extensive manuscript sources (including an unprecedented use of Nelson Rockefeller's oral history archives), the book points out the complexities of Good Neighbor diplomacy and its intimate relationship to Roosevelt's global strategies. As background to his discussions of FDR's policies, Gellman looks first at how Latin American affairs were handled during the administrations of Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover, the three Republicans who preceded Roosevelt in office. Good Neighbor diplomacy, Gellman shows, was not a carryover from these administrations; it bore the distinctive mark of FDR's own making. He then describes how Roosevelt's policy of nonintervention worked, particularly how military force was superseded by more subtle diplomatic maneuverings. Turning to a discussion of economic relations with Latin America, Gellman focuses on how the United States' own situation-cut off from international trade by the Depression-encouraged regional expansion. And, finally, he looks at how Roosevelt parlayed the threat of war in Europe and the specter of Nazi penetration in the Americas to further solidify a hemispheric stand. Gellman's account vividly demonstrates that Good Neighbor diplomacy was as much the product of personality as it was of policy. In particular, it emerged out of the rivalries and alliances among three men: Roosevelt; his Secretary of State, Cordell Hull; and Assistant Secretary of State, Sumner Welles. Gellman (the first to have access to FBI files on Welles) characterizes FDR as an astute politician who saw an opportunity to use pan-Americanism to restore America to world prominence-yet could not handle the personality conflicts among those in his own ranks. Gellman shows how tenuous a government policy can be when so much of it depends on personal control and influence

    Abstract: Canada's centennial anniversary in 1967 coincided with a period of transformative public policymaking. This period saw the establishment of the modern welfare state, as well as significant growth in the area of cultural diversity, including multiculturalism and bilingualism. Meanwhile, the rising commitment to the protection of individual and collective rights was captured in the project of a "just society." Tracing the past, present, and future of Canadian policymaking, Policy Transformation in Canada examines the country's current and most critical challenges: the renewal of the federation, managing diversity, Canada's relations with Indigenous peoples, the environment, intergenerational equity, global economic integration, and Canada's role in the world. Scrutinizing various public policy issues through the prism of Canada's sesquicentennial, the contributors consider the transformation of policy and present an accessible portrait of how the Canadian view of policymaking has been reshaped, and where it may be heading in the next fifty years

    Series Statement: America in the Nineteenth Century
    Keywords: History of the Americas ; Indigenous peoples
    Abstract: The Spanish-American War marked the emergence of the United States as an imperial power. It was when the United States first landed troops overseas and established governments of occupation in the Philippines, Cuba, and other formerly Spanish colonies. But such actions to extend U.S. sovereignty abroad, argues Katharine Bjork, had a precedent in earlier relations with Native nations at home. In Prairie Imperialists, Bjork traces the arc of American expansion by showing how the Army's conquests of what its soldiers called "Indian Country" generated a repertoire of actions and understandings that structured encounters with the racial others of America's new island territories following the War of 1898. Prairie Imperialists follows the colonial careers of three Army officers from the domestic frontier to overseas posts in Cuba and the Philippines. The men profiled-Hugh Lenox Scott, Robert Lee Bullard, and John J. Pershing-internalized ways of behaving in Indian Country that shaped their approach to later colonial appointments abroad. Scott's ethnographic knowledge and experience with Native Americans were valorized as an asset for colonial service; Bullard and Pershing, who had commanded African American troops, were regarded as particularly suited for roles in the pacification and administration of colonial peoples overseas. After returning to the mainland, these three men played prominent roles in the "Punitive Expedition" President Woodrow Wilson sent across the southern border in 1916, during which Mexico figured as the next iteration of "Indian Country." With rich biographical detail and ambitious historical scope, Prairie Imperialists makes fundamental connections between American colonialism and the racial dimensions of domestic political and social life-during peacetime and while at war. Ultimately, Bjork contends, the concept of "Indian Country" has served as the guiding force of American imperial expansion and nation building for the past two and a half centuries and endures to this day

    Abstract: Aunque resulte tan poco conocido como enormemente olvidado, fue el libro Cuba revolucionaria quien inició una teorización marxistafeminista del trabajo doméstico. Desde La Habana, Isabel Larguía y John Dumoulin comenzaron a difundir su primer manuscrito titulado “Por un feminismo cientíco", editado en 1971 por Casa de Las Américas. Sus esfuerzos intelectuales estaban dirigidos a comprender las modalidades de explotación que atañen a las mujeres, así como las posibles alternativas emancipatorias. Su objetivo no era tanto el de agregar una nota al pie a los escritos de Karl Marx y Friedrich Engels sino poner en tensión los límites del marxismo y el feminismo a la hora de interceptar la opresión de las mujeres. La contribución de Larguía-Dumoulin constituye un modo de adentrarnos a los complejos y no siempre armoniosos vínculos entre el feminismo y marxismo, introduciéndonos histórica y políticamente en las tensiones y acercamientos que se produjeron entre feministas y otras organizaciones de izquierda en América Latina y El Caribe. Este ensayo -merecedor del Premio Fondo nacional de las Artes de Argentina- es decididamente polifónico. Está hecho de retazos de memorias, de escritura feminista que actualmente goza el estatuto de archivo, discursos historiográficos, análisis teóricos, declaraciones sociales y renovados estudios cubanos sobre las mujeres.

    Abstract: El texto alude articuladamente a la crisis mundial capitalista en curso y sus efectos nocivos sobre la naturaleza y la sociedad, lo que permite coincidir con varios autores citados en el texto para calificar al problema como una “crisis civilizatoria", evidenciando la magnitud de los problemas que se consideran en los estudios que integran el presente volumen. Por eso, los asuntos específicos de San Juan se analizan en el marco de esta crisis de la civilización contemporánea. Leyendo el conjunto de los estudios, queda claro el vínculo de lo local con lo global y viceversa, para concluir que los problemas referenciados del libro tienen que asociarse a una lectura crítica de la sociedad capitalista contemporánea

    Abstract: La educación es un derecho fundamental y una herramienta de transformación social. La escuela media en particular es un espacio que contribuye a la formación de subjetividades juveniles, es un ámbito de interpretación e integración simbólica, de estructuración de proyectos y expectativas de vida. Pero también es un espacio atravesado por lógicas excluyentes y discriminatorias. En los próximos decenios, la generación formada en las dos primeras décadas del siglo XXI enfrentará las viejas y persistentes desigualdades étnicas de clase y género, sumadas a las nuevas problemáticas que se han ido imponiendo en las sociedades periféricas (y también en las centrales), posmodernas y neocoloniales. Nuevos clivajes reúne nueve artículos de investigadoras e investigadores que integran dos espacios de trabajo académico y de redes de colaboración: el GT “Heterogeneidad estructural y desigualdad social" y la Red Internacional para el Análisis Comparado de las Desigualdades Sociales (INCASI)

    Abstract: La lucha por la implementación del Acuerdo de Paz transcurre de manera simultánea en dos sentidos. Por una parte, como necesidad de superar y derrotar en forma definitiva las resistencias de sectores que liderados por las expresiones más extremistas de la derecha política buscan desconocer la realidad histórica y concreta del Acuerdo de Paz, en cuanto posibilidad de tramitar el conflicto social y d clase por la vía exclusivamente política. Pero, al mismo tiempo, por la otra, como necesidad también de una implementación integral, de construir la legitimidad de una concepción de la paz que trascienda la visión meramente pacificadora o gatopardista, es decir, que apunte a una paz que efectivamente posea los contenidos propios de la democracia verdadera y la justicia social en camino hacias las transformaciones más profundas de la sociedad colombiana. Y, por qué no decirlo, que se encauce hacia la superación definitiva del orden social vigente; aspiración que también se encontraba tanto en los orígenes como en la larga historia de la lucha guerrillera en Colombia

    Abstract: El estudio etnográfico sobre los chichimecas jonáz, reconoce en la historia a uno de los pueblos originarios cazadores-recolectores del centro-norte de México, más denostado desde la época prehispánica por los Mexica o Aztecas, considerados como “perros sucios, inciviles", significado del término chichimeca; bárbaros-salvajes, por los conquista- dores ibéricos; holgazanes, que no trabajan y no producen nada, por algunos habitantes de San Luis de la Paz, Guanajuato. El lector encontrará cómo los chichimecas-jonáz continúan siendo una sociedad marginal al resto de la sociedad dominante, pero resistiendo ante el embate del sistema capitalista que se apropia de sus territorios y fuerza laboral mediante megaproyectos extractivistas, energéticos, parques industriales y otros, que generan enormes ganancias a los capitales transnacionales, además de la expansión de las ciudades cercanas

    Abstract: Este libro permite comprender lo sucedido en distintas dimensiones de la política boliviana entre los años 2000 y 2012, a partir de un análisis de los lenguajes, la espacialidad y el poder territorial de los principales movimientos indígenas, originarios y campesinos y la emergente estatalidad plurinacional. El libro nos traslada desde el Pachakuti -el momento de la revuelta o de transformación del orden establecido, el cual se abrió camino desde las luchas comunitarias del primer lustro de este siglo, principalmente desde formas autónomas y autorreguladas de los pueblos indígenas-, hasta el momento del Tinku, que desde 2006, pero principalmente a partir del proceso de Asamblea Constituyente, se vivió como tensión o disputa de poder entre la concreción de un Estado plurinacional y una estructura de Estado corporativa con creciente capacidad hegemónica y de cooptación sobre el gran movimiento popular comunitario autónomo

    Abstract: Originally published in 1958. Johnson tells the story of the Red River Campaign, which took place in Louisiana and Arkansas in the spring of 1864. In response to the demands of Union Free-Soil interests in Texas, and the need of New England textile manufacturers for cotton, an expedition was undertaken to open the way to Texas. General Nathaniel Banks conducted a combined military and naval expedition up the Red River in a campaign that lasted only from March 23 to May 20, 1864, but was one of the most destructive of the Civil War. The campaign ended in Banks's defeat at the Battle of Sabine Crossroads. This book illustrates how military operations during the Civil War were often intimately interwoven with political, economic, and ideological factors, which frequently determined the time and place of a Union offensive. The author describes the desires and opinions of the public, the press, and Lincoln's administration regarding an invasion of Texas, as well as the motivation of the officers themselves, such as Banks's aspiration for the 1864 presidential nomination. Johnson relates vividly the various battles of the expedition and the problems posed by mustering undisciplined troops, by having to procure supplies in poor country with insufficient supply lines, and by contending with bad weather and rough terrain

    Abstract: Originally published in 1962. In The Road to Normalcy, Wesley M. Bagby explains how the election of 1920 contributed to momentous shifts in American politics by detailing why the major political parties abandoned sentiments that were widely accepted several years prior to the election. Prior to World War I, two significant streams of progressivism maintained center stage in American politics-the Progressive movement and the world peace movement. The war proved not to be prohibitively distracting for the Progressive movement, which carried on well into the war years. But the war also introduced new elements into American political life, such as the restriction of free speech, popular outbursts of intolerance and hatred encouraged by war propaganda, and a belief in the necessity and efficacy of violence. Many of these elements eroded the ideals undergirding the Progressive movement. The international peace movement reflected the spirit of idealistic internationalism that characterized the tenor of American foreign policy from the beginning to the end of the war. However, the election of 1920, the first presidential election after World War I, addressed the question of whether America would resume its progressive efforts at home and abroad following the war. The election ultimately stymied both political currents, proving to be an end for both the Progressive movement and the world peace movement

    Abstract: Originally published in 1979. The idea of the "South" has its roots in Romanticism and American culture of the nineteenth century. This study by Michael O'Brien analyzes how the idea of a unique Southern consciousness endured into the twentieth century and how it affected the lives of prominent white Southern intellectuals. Individual chapters treat Howard Odum, John Donald Wade, John Crowe Ransom, Allen Tate, Frank Owsley, and Donald Davidson. The chapters trace each man's growing need for the idea of the South-how each defined it and how far each was able to sustain the idea as an element of social analysis. The Idea of the American South moves the debate over Southern identity from speculative essays about the "central theme" of Southern history and, by implication, past the restricted perception that race relations are a sufficient key to understanding the history of Southern identity

    Abstract: Originally published in 1963. Molière's plays rank among the great comic achievements in the history of the stage. Yet few attempts have been made to understand them as expressing the historical context of the author's time. Most frequently they have been interpreted from the point of view of purely literary history, while the characters have been seen as universal comic types. Lionel Gossman reappraises Molière's comedy in the light of historical experience and interprets it in terms of the conditions from which it emerged. He brings it into the mainstream of seventeenth-century French literature and shows that Molière was concerned with the same things that concerned Descartes, Corneille, Racine, or Pascal. Five comedies (Amphitryon, Dom Juan, Le Misanthrope, Le Tartuffe, and George Dandin) are studied in the first part of the book. A number of basic structures are found to be common to all of them, and these give the author his point of departure for the second part of the book. In the second part, Gossman examines Molière's position with respect to other major seventeenth-century French writers. The comic vision of Molière, Gossman argues, no less than the tragic vision of Pascal or of Racine, expresses a particular relation to the social structure of the time. The subject matter of Molière's comedy is thus, in the author's view, not universal human nature but the men and women of the society in which Molière lived. Indeed, Gossman goes on to argue that the development of society after Molière made it difficult, and in the end impossible, for later writers to see the world in the comic light that illuminated Molière's writing. Even in certain of Molière's own works, in fact, the comic vision shades into something close to Romantic irony

    Abstract: Originally published in 1965. The Supreme Court's momentous school desegregation decision of 1954 was a postmortem victory for Albion Tourgée. Just fifty-eight years earlier this once-famous carpetbagger's attack on segregation was crushed in the case of Plessy v. Ferguson. His legal defeat in 1896 typified his frustrated but prophetic career. Tourgée was an idealistic Union veteran who ventured south in 1865. As an advocate of civil rights, political equality, free schools, and penal reform, he was elected to North Carolina's Constitutional Convention of 1868. Olsen records both the fierce struggles and the impressive accomplishments that filled Tourgée's fourteen years in the South. With the collapse of the Southern experiment, Tourgée was inspired to turn to fiction to express his convictions. A Fool's Errand by One of the Fools and Bricks without Straw were classics of their day, providing absorbing accounts and defenses of radical Reconstruction. In 1879 Tourgée went north, where he renewed and extended his crusade for Negro equality by writing, lecturing, and lobbying. For many years he was the most militant and persistent advocate of racial equality in the nation. He was also a vigorous critic of the industrial age, demanding the utilization of federal power in behalf of equality, democracy, and economic justice

    Abstract: Originally published in 1973. Professor Nathans illuminates the changes wrought by Jacksonian democracy on the career of Daniel Webster, a major political figure, and on the destiny of a major political party, the Whigs. Daniel Webster was a creative anachronism in the Jacksonian era. His career illustrates the fate of a generation of American politicians, reared to rule in a traditional world of defined social classes where gentlemen led and the masses followed. With extensive research into primary sources, Nathans interprets Webster as a leader in the older political tradition, hostile to permanent organized political parties and fearful of social strife that party conflict seemed to promote. He focuses on Webster's response to the rise of entrenchment of voter-oriented partisan politics. He analyzes Webster's struggle to survive, comprehend, and finally manipulate the new politics during his early opposition to Jackson; his roles in the Bank War and the nullification crisis; and the contest for leadership within the Whig Party from 1828 to 1844. Webster and the Whigs resisted and then belatedly attempted to answer the demands of the new egalitarian mass politics. When Webster failed as an apologist for government by the elite, he became a rhapsodist of American commercial enterprise. Seeking a new power base, he adapted his public style to the standards of simplicity and humility that the voters seemed to reward. Nathans shows, however, that Webster developed a realistic vision of the common bonds of Jacksonian society-of the basis for community-that would warrant anew the trust needed for the kind of leadership he offered. The meaning of Webster's career lies in these attempts to bridge the old and new politics, but his attempt was doomed to ironic and revealing failure. Nathans studies Webster's impact on the Whig party, showing that his influence was strong enough to thwart the ambitions of his rivals Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun but not strong enough to achieve his own aspirations. Nathans argues that Webster, through his efforts to increase his authority within the party, merely revealed his true weakness as a sectional leader. His successful blocking of Clay and Calhoun brought about a deadlock that significantly hastened the transfer of power to men more committed to strong party organization and more talented at voter manipulation. Webster's dilemma was the crisis of an entire political generation reared for a traditional world and forced to function in a modern one

    Abstract: No single element of Boston's revolutionary history is of greater consequence than the reactions of the town's merchants to changing British mercantile policies. Under John Tyler's fine lens the special business interests of powerful individuals within this group are more clearly delineated and, as a consequence, their political behavior is better understood. Through ingenious research into business ledgers and insurance records John Tyler has been able to identify specific members of this elusive group for the first time and observe their political conduct for a decade and a half prior to the American Revolution. Originally published by Northeastern University Press in 1986. With a new foreword by William M. Fowler, Jr

    Abstract: En este libro se plantean dos tipos de problemas históricos. En primer término, fue notorio desde los primeros años de la década de 1990 que la periodización con que se explicaba el pasado dejaba muchos vacíos. Desde la ausencia de una fecha de fundación y otra de término de la Transición, hasta si la crisis de la democracia comenzó antes o durante el gobierno de Salvador Allende. Por ello se busca poner en cuestión la cronología de la segunda mitad del siglo XX en Chile, relevando los problemas e intentando resolverlos. En segundo término, está el problema de la desaparición de los protagonistas directos, lo que agrava el desconocimiento sobre su época. La ineficacia de las explicaciones normativas se ve acentuada, pues la autoridad que la sostenía era la de la experiencia de los protagonistas más notorios de la historia reciente. Este libro recoge seis textos previamente publicados en la revista Izquierdas, incorpora también la traducción inédita de un texto del historiador uruguayo Aldo Marchesi; y recopila una serie de columnas publicadas a propósito del cierre de la muestra "Hijos de la Libertad" del Museo Histórico Nacional en mayo de 2018. Estos escritos y estas voces coinciden aquí como expresión de la necesidad de reapropiarnos del pasado reciente de Chile y la región del cono sur, con investigaciones y reflexiones que diluyan el efecto de las lecturas normativas con las que se ha domesticado ese período

    Abstract: Comment rendre compte de l'effet « trace » de la lettre viatique - de cette trace qui, dans la correspondance, peut être lue comme « le voyage même » ? L'ambition de cet ouvrage, qui s'inscrit dans la continuité de la collection « Chemins croisés » en ouvrant des perspectives nouvelles sur l'écriture de l'ailleurs, est d'examiner les rapports entre l'écriture épistolaire et le voyage à travers les nombreuses traces que laisse la lettre viatique dans la littérature anglophone et francophone de la fin du XVIIIe siècle à nos jours. Spécialistes de littérature française, francophone et anglophone croisent ainsi leurs champs disciplinaires pour se mettre à l'écoute des lettres, réelles ou fictives, qui inscrivent leur trace dans notre connaissance, scientifique ou littéraire, du monde. L'originalité de cet ouvrage réside également dans les lettres d'écrivains qui ont été spécialement écrites pour ce volume. En tissant écrits critiques et textes d'auteurs, ce livre propose de suivre les relations qui se nouent entre l'œil et le regard, ces deux modalités du voir qui entrent en jeu dans notre approche de l'espace géographique et littéraire. Ainsi l'œil du scientifique analyse la matérialité de la lettre, suit le tracé des échanges, fait entrer en résonnance la sphère intime et l'arène publique, prend le pouls du vivant pour mieux appréhender la matière. Simultanément, le regard des écrivains nous invite à percevoir le relief du monde, à écouter l'appel du poète qui esquisse, derrière les apparences sensibles, une présence qui approfondit l'espace et qui recrée ce qu'Yves Bonnefoy appelait « la terre humaine ». À la croisée des disciplines, des époques, des territoires et des langues, cet ouvrage s'adresse non seulement aux spécialistes de l'épistolaire et de l'écriture du voyage, mais également à tous ceux curieux de saisir dans le tracé des lettres « l'usage du monde »

    Abstract: Joseph Déjacque (1821-1865), ouvrier-poète parisien exilé en Angleterre puis aux États-Unis, a inventé le mot « libertaire » dans une lettre-brûlot adressée à Proudhon. C'était en 1857, à La Nouvelle-Orléans. Il avait aiguisé sa plume d'activiste et de poète depuis 1847-1848 dans des écrits révolutionnaires publiés ici pour la première fois. Sa pensée est étudiée au fil des contributions pluridisciplinaires de ce volume dans toute son amplitude antiautoritaire, anticapitaliste, féministe et antiesclavagiste. L'ensemble met en lumière le souffle transatlantique, l'intensité visionnaire et les tensions vives d'un parcours biographique, politique, intellectuel et littéraire hors norme

    Abstract: Originally published in 1968. Far from being an isolated outburst of community insanity or hysteria, the Massachusetts witchcraft trials were an accurate reflection of the scientific ethos of the seventeenth century. Witches were seldom hanged without supporting medical evidence. Professor Fox clarifies this use of scientific knowledge by examining the Scientific Revolution's impact on the witchcraft trials. He suggests that much of the scientific ineptitude and lack of sophistication that characterized the witchcraft cases is still present in our modern system of justice. In the historical context of seventeenth-century witch hunts and in an effort to stimulate those who must design and operate a just jurisprudence today, Fox asks what the proper legal role of medical science-especially psychiatry-should be in any society. The legal system of seventeenth-century Massachusetts was weakened by an uncritical reliance on scientific judgments, and the scientific assumptions upon which the colonial conception of witchcraft was based reinforced these doubtful judgments. Fox explores these assumptions, discusses the actual participation of scientists in the investigations, and indicates the importance of scientific attitudes in the trials. Disease theory, psychopathology, and autopsy procedures, he finds, all had their place in the identification of witches. The book presents a unique multidisciplinary investigation into the place of science in the life of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the seventeenth century. There, as in twentieth-century America, citizens were confronted with the necessity of accommodating both the rules of law and the facts of science to their system of justice

    Abstract: Musil présente la particularité d'être reconnu comme un grand auteur de la littérature autrichienne par les spécialistes et d'avoir connu un large succès avec L'Homme sans qualités et surtout Les désarrois de l'élève Toerless, son premier roman, dont Volker Schlöndorff a tiré un film récompensé au Festival de Cannes en 1966. L'Homme sans qualités est considéré comme une œuvre pionnière du nouveau roman, à l'égal de l'Ulysse de Joyce. Traduit en français par un traducteur éminent, Philippe Jacottet, Musil eut son heure de gloire dans les années 1970 à 1990. Évoluant délibérément sur la frontière entre les sens et la rationalité, l'écriture et le monde romanesque de Musil ont fait de lui un auteur dont le monde des lettres francophone s'est emparé avec prédilection. Du côté allemand et autrichien l'effet de mode n'a jamais été aussi marqué, après la redécouverte de Musil suscitée par la première édition de L'Homme sans qualités par Adolf Frisé dans les années 1950 ; mais l'intérêt des spécialistes pour Musil n'a jamais faibli non plus. Musil, dans la période du regain d'intérêt pour la « modernité viennoise » et le débat « modernité/post-modernité », a retenu en France l'attention d'auteurs importants : outre le travail éditorial de Jean-Pierre Cometti sur le roman inachevé L'Homme sans qualités, il faut mentionner le philosophe Jacques Bouveresse (Robert Musil. L'homme probable, le hasard, la moyenne et l'escargot de l'histoire, Éditions de l'Eclat, 1993), le germaniste Jacques Le Rider ou le comparatiste Jacques Dugast (Musil. L'Homme sans qualités, PUF, 1992). L'ouvrage de Walter Moser, par sa profonde connaissance des deux mondes scientifiques, jette non seulement un pont mais il approfondit un aspect que l'approche d'histoire culturelle évoquait toujours sans le prendre à bras le corps : l'écriture de Musil. Sur ce terrain, on en restait en gros au jugement de Thomas Mann, selon lequel Musil était le Proust (ou le Joyce) autrichien. Mais on n'apprenait pas grand-chose de plus sur cette écriture. Walter Moser comble cette lacune

    Abstract: Originally published in 1982. Despite a necessary preoccupation with the Revolutionary struggle, America's Continental Congress succeeded in establishing itself as a governing body with national-and international-authority. How the Congress acquired and maintained this power and how the delegates sought to resolve the complex theoretical problems that arose in forming a federal government are the issues confronted in Jack N. Rakove's searching reappraisal of Revolution-era politics. Avoiding the tendency to interpret the decisions of the Congress in terms of competing factions or conflicting ideologies, Rakove opts for a more pragmatic view. He reconstructs the political climate of the Revolutionary period, mapping out both the immediate problems confronting the Congress and the available alternatives as perceived by the delegates. He recreates a landscape littered with unfamiliar issues, intractable problems, unattractive choices, and partial solutions, all of which influenced congressional decisions on matters as prosaic as military logistics or as abstract as the definition of federalism

    Abstract: Originally published in 1969. In The Most Unsordid Act, Warren Kimball provides a history of the Lend-Lease idea. The genesis and development of the Lend-Lease idea, although spanning less than two years, offers a subject of the broadest significance for major questions of democratic government and society. The story begins with the United States' growing recognition of the British monetary and gold shortage and ends with the passage of the Lend-Lease Act and the American commitment that it involved. Dr. Kimball's narrative-chronological, detailed, and dramatic-includes analyses of the domestic and international concerns on both sides of the Atlantic and of the roles of the leading protagonists: President F. D. Roosevelt and Treasury Secretary Morgenthau, as well as Stimson, Hull, Churchill, and key British representatives. He also examines the possibility that Lend-Lease was designed to benefit the American economy at Britain's expense. A central question animates Kimball's account: How could a president who recognized the ultimate threat of Nazi Germany, but shared his nation's desire to avoid war, find a way to help an ally? The portrait of Roosevelt that emerges is instructive in view of revisionist histories that present him as a Machiavellian figure disingenuously leading his country to war. Kimball sees him, rather, as an essentially domestic president whose experiences and interests evolved from national concerns-as a man unschooled in international affairs, eager to avoid confrontation with his congressional opposition, wary of the British penchant for power politics, given to procrastination when faced with difficult problems, and anxious to avoid full-scale war. Yet, the administration's legislative strategy and the debate over the Lend-Lease Act clearly demonstrated that the president, his closest advisers, and the Congress were aware that the legislation would inevitably mean war with Germany. Based on such sources as the diaries of Morgenthau, the State Department Archives, Foreign Economic Administration records, the Stimson papers, and interviews with participants, this study provides insights that raise central questions about the functioning of the American system of government

Grenville Goodwin knew the Western Apache better than any other ethnographer who ever lived. And he wrote about them from the conviction that his knowledge was important—not only for specialists interested in the tribes of the Southwest, but for all anthropologists concerned with the structure and operation of primitive social systems

    Abstract: Quelles correspondances établir entre un recueil de lettres de Mme de Sévigné, le roman épistolaire de Guillerargues, la lettre d’un poilu à son fils et le modèle fonctionnel du parfait secrétaire ? De l’art épistolaire comme pratique sociale au genre de la lettre de demande comme outil d’enseignement de l’écrit, la lettre est présente à l’école depuis sa création. Tantôt objet d’admiration esthétique, tantôt modèle fonctionnel d’une rhétorique de l’efficace, tantôt objet d’étude pour une histoire de la littérature, le genre épistolaire, la lettre ou la correspondance, selon un étiquetage changeant, a pu se transformer dans ses fonctionnalités et ses modalités d’appropriation, au fil des siècles et des territoires, selon les besoins des écoles et des niveaux d’enseignement. C’est à cette histoire de l’enseignement de la lettre en Europe que cet ouvrage voudrait contribuer. Quels sont les rôles, les enjeux et les modalités d’enseignement de la lettre (correspondance ou roman épistolaire) dans les écoles d’hier et celles d’aujourd’hui, au primaire et au secondaire, dans les divers pays européens ? Quels phénomènes didactiques de transformation de ces textes et des savoirs qui leur sont attachés observe-t-on ? Méthodologiquement, ce travail s’inscrit dans la perspective historique et comparatiste des travaux de recherche du groupe HELiCE (Histoire de l’Enseignement des LIttératures, Comparaisons Européennes). Il met en évidence la valeur euristique des petites formes, génériquement identifiables, et montre l’intérêt de poser la forme textuelle comme analyseur pour décrire une histoire de l’enseignement des littératures dans divers pays européens (Belgique, France, Grèce, Italie, Pologne, Portugal et Suisse)

    Abstract: « Le voyage de Barrès, après ceux de Chateaubriand, de Lamartine, de Gautier, de Gérard de Nerval, aura été le dernier des voyages romantiques d’Orient, des voyages vers l’Orient romantique. Là encore 1914 marque la grande coupure. Cet Orient n’existe plus », écrivait Albert Thibaudet, pour qui la Grande Guerre mettait fin à une lignée de voyageurs. Cet ouvrage interroge l’influence de la guerre sur la vision et l’écriture de l’Orient chez des savants et des écrivains, notamment André Gide et Pierre Loti. À partir d’Une enquête aux pays du Levant, livre de Barrès publié en 1923, mais issu d’un voyage de 1914, il identifie plus largement les mutations du genre du récit de voyage entre le long XIXe siècle, marqué par le romantisme, motivé par la quête spirituelle, et les années d’entre-deux-guerres où se développe le genre du grand reportage, marqué par un intérêt plus politique lié à la présence coloniale française en Syrie et au Liban

    Abstract: La memoria de las rebeliones tiene un significado político. Cuando las reinscribimos en una narración traducible hacemos con ellas "una ofrenda de sentido, no para la repetición sino para la disrupción y para la invención", afirma Diego Tatián. Sin esa acción de memoria no sería posible el advenimiento de otra cosa, distinta de lo que hay, pero también de lo que la memoria resguarda de su pérdida. Vivimos en una región de revoluciones. La revolución ha constituido uno de los temas principales del pensamiento crítico caribeño que pretende recuperar las fuentes, las lecturas realizadas y visibilizar la trascendencia de los actos, una vez que la tórrida región es testigo de paradigmáticos procesos de su tipo. En estas islas las llamas han llegado al cielo para convertirse en sucesos, en texto esencial del mundo colonial, del Sur; procesos que después de acaecidos han forzado a Occidente a ser diferente y provocar un "giro del revés

    Abstract: What drove U.S. Catholics in their arduous quest, full of twists and turns over more than a century, to win an American saint? The absence of American names in the canon of the saints had left many of the faithful feeling spiritually unmoored. But while canonization may be fundamentally about holiness, it is never only about holiness, reveals Kathleen Sprows Cummings in this panoramic, passionate chronicle of American sanctity. Catholics had another reason for petitioning the Vatican to acknowledge an American holy hero. A home-grown saint would serve as a mediator between heaven and earth, yes, but also between Catholicism and American culture. Throughout much of U.S. history, the making of a saint was also about the ways in which the members of a minority religious group defined, defended, and celebrated their identities as Americans. Their fascinatingly diverse causes for canonization-from Kateri Tekakwitha and Elizabeth Ann Seton to many others that are failed, forgotten, or still under way-represented evolving national values as Catholics made themselves at home. Cummings's vision of American sanctity shows just how much Catholics had at stake in cultivating devotion to men and women perched at the nexus of holiness and American history-until they finally felt little need to prove that they belonged

    Abstract: Los estudios sociales en ciencia y tecnología en América Latina cuentan ya con medio siglo de desarrollo en la región. El origen del campo en los años sesenta dotó de características propias que permanecieron, a lo largo de las décadas con diferentes niveles de intensidad, en el marco de nuevos modelos y formas de pensar el desarrollo y de afrontar las condiciones de pobreza y exclusión de nuestras sociedades. Una vez recorrida la etapa de profesionalización del campo –y en diálogo con la dinámica de construcción de estos estudios en los países del norte– se retomaron desde nuevas preguntas y perspectivas aquellas reflexiones iniciadas en los años sesenta, al tiempo que se generaron esfuerzos por construir miradas originales sobre los significados sociales, económicos y políticos de la ciencia y la tecnología. Así se construyeron enfoques y perspectivas analíticas que aprovechan los aportes del campo a nivel internacional y los alimentan con perspectivas regionales. Ciencia, tecnología y sociedad en América Latina está organizado en cinco secciones variadas y heterogéneas, referidas todas ellas a América Latina, en las que se discuten problemas sociales muy diversos. El rico caudal de estas investigaciones sostiene como objetivo común la superación del atraso y de la dependencia de nuestros países, y la búsqueda de estrategias adecuadas en pos de mejorar las condiciones de vida en la región. Con una perspectiva múltiple e interdisciplinar, investigadores jóvenes del continente muestran la riqueza y la relevancia de los estudios actuales en este campo

    Abstract: La democracia es un elemento de disputa discursiva en América Latina porque existen posiciones políticas disímiles que corresponden, por lo menos, a un par de enfoques interpretativos de carácter normativo sobre esta forma de gobierno. Una postura cuestiona la democracia liberal por sus limitaciones representativas y deriva en apelaciones a la democracia participativa como una alternativa que desdeña de las mediaciones partidistas. Una mirada opuesta reclama la vigencia plena de la democracia representativa y el Estado de derecho para establecer límites a la participación popular porque la acción directa de los movimientos sociales debilita los canales institucionales de la política. La primera interpretación es anatemizada como populista, la segunda es cuestionada por socialdemócrata o liberal

    Abstract: Este libro pone en diálogo las discusiones del buen vivir con una serie de propuestas que se desplegaron entre mediados de la década de los sesenta y comienzos de la década del ochenta en América Latina. En aquél contexto, Fundación Bariloche, Oscar Varsavsky y, en buena medida la CEPAL, se ocuparon de formular alternativas al patrón de desarrollo centrado en el crecimiento económico, al tiempo que mostraron la factibilidad de esos otros estilos de desarrollo mediante el diseño de modelos matemáticos multivariados. Más recientemente, las propuestas del buen vivir, inspiradas en el Sumak Kawsay, han involucrado una profunda crítica al neoliberalismo y su modelo civilizatorio. La apuesta del libro es desestabilizar el efecto de homogeneidad y evidencia con el que suele presentarse "EL" desarrollo y mostrar que en distintas coyunturas ha sido objeto de impugnaciones y luchas

A través de 32 historias de vida de jóvenes, Solidaridad propone reconstruir la compleja trama de iniciativas y acciones solidarias que impulsan los jóvenes de las comunas de Medellín.

His letters from the field provide original source material on Western Apache beliefs and customs. They also reveal the attitudes and methods which made him so effective in his work. A dedicated and thorough ethnographer, Goodwin became familiar with every aspect of Western Apache culture. During this same period, Morris Opler was studying the Chiricahua and Mescalero Apache in New Mexico. In order to exchange information about their studies, Goodwin and Opler began corresponding. Both men were convinced that a long-overdue, systematic comparison of Apachean cultures would yield significant results

    Abstract: This book is the first monograph concerned with a feminist reading of Polish contemporary poetry to utilise tools of affective methodologies. It seeks to establish the extent to which affects contribute to the process of collective forms of existence. The book’s main thesis assumes affects to be the triggers of action, particularly of critically modifying established narratives about emotive histories of societies which include the allotment of the capacity to feel in order to coercively classify the actors and actresses of collective life. Poetry, as a very particular instance of those various affective machineries, becomes yet another version of collective memory. Poetical representations, acting in synergy with transformations of the contemporary subject, operate on three levels: firstly, by reproducing normative images of womanhood in its relations with surroundings, secondly, by disturbing the said images through an, often critical, reformulating of them, or thirdly, by becoming postulated variants of those transformations. The semantic dominants one can find in recent women’s poetry that, at the same time, constitute a portion of the broader symbolic feminine capital being a unified construct edifying the social discourses, pertain to the category of disease/illness, seeing, trauma and shame, the affective work, love, migration, and community

    Abstract: La tarea de elaborar una antología del pensamiento social crítico en Guatemala ha supuesto un esfuerzo en varios sentidos. En primer lugar, delimitar qué se entiende por pensamiento crítico, y luego, decidir qué período abarcar, cuáles autoras y autores incluir, y cuáles los textos pertinentes […]. Para acotar la búsqueda se comprendió como pensamiento social crítico al conjunto de ideas elaboradas desde perspectivas divergentes, a contracorriente de los discursos y las historias oficiales, que han sido el resultado de la investigación, análisis, sistematización y reflexión sobre la realidad de la sociedad guatemalteca, con el propósito de desentrañar las estructuras de poder que sostienen un orden desigual, de raíces coloniales, que niega derechos y limita el desarrollo humano de la mayoría de la población, particularmente de las mujeres, y los pueblos indígenas. En la antología que ahora se presenta, se incluye a treinta y cinco autoras y autores, mujeres y hombres, de diversas identidades, y generaciones. Algunos con una producción muy vasta y otros que inician sus reflexiones. Se trató de mostrar una polifonía de voces y perspectivas, y para efectos de una mejor comprensión se establecieron cuatro ejes que dan cuenta de las principales preocupaciones sociales, intelectuales y políticas que han predominado en las décadas de finales del siglo veinte e inicios del veintiuno: “Estado, política, sociedad y economía" (Eje 1); “Violencia política, movimientos sociales, memoria e historia" (Eje 2); “Etnicidad, relaciones interétnicas, racismo" (Eje 3); y, por último, “Cuerpos, género, feminismos, sexualidades, violencia" (Eje 4). […] Considero este texto como un aporte más en el conocimiento de la producción intelectual en Guatemala, una invitación a profundizar en el pensamiento social crítico, a identificar autorías, temas y problemáticas que ahora no fueron incorporadas. Una motivación para continuar indagando y construyendo la historia de los aportes intelectuales en el país, ampliando miradas y ejes de análisis, temporalidades y temáticas.

    Abstract: Celebro la publicación de este segundo volumen del “Grupo de Trabajo CLACSO Pueblos indígenas y procesos autonómicos" integrado por diez artículos, escritos por jóvenes investigadores. Este Grupo de Trabajo se ocupa en documentar las luchas y los procesos autonómicos de pueblos indígenas, y se caracteriza por su perspectiva plural, en ejercicios dialógicos y debates críticos, con proyectos de investigación situados, colaborativos y comprometidos con las luchas de los pueblos con los que trabajan. En el presente volumen un eje transversal que cruza todos los documentos es el esfuerzo por intentar puntualizar y definir el concepto de autonomía en las realidades que observan, en el ánimo de cuestionar y actualizar el concepto. Estos ejercicios ofrecen un resultado provechoso, que en su conjunto da cuenta de la polisemia del concepto, de sus múltiples sentidos, y también de su complejidad. Interrogarse sobre qué es la autonomía; cómo se argumenta; cómo se materializa; cuáles son sus avances, retos y desafíos y, sobre todo, cómo los pueblos indígenas con los que ellos trabajan construyen su autonomía; son preguntas que encuentran respuestas en cada uno de los capítulos del libro

    Abstract: Cet ouvrage propose une approche inédite de l’œuvre de Stendhal à travers une analyse des liens qui l’unissent à la musique. Quels ont été ses rapports avec la musique ? Quels étaient ses compositeurs, ses opéras préférés et pourquoi ? Ce livre montre comment la musique, et particulièrement l’opéra, a totalement imprégné l’œuvre de Stendhal : dans ses romans, ses nouvelles ou ses écrits intimes, il a cherché à transformer la musique en mots, faisant souvent référence à Mozart ou Cimarosa. Persuadé d’avoir été un musicien manqué, Stendhal a rêvé de rivaliser, en tant qu’écrivain, avec la musique et ainsi d’atteindre l’idéal romantique de la fraternité des arts

    Abstract: Fuir avant demain est un roman de l’écrivaine américaine Kay Boyle paru en 1932. Le lecteur est entrainé dans le récit aussi émouvant que lumineux d’une escapade tumultueuse et désespérée dans l’arrière-pays grassois, au milieu des années 20. Cette fiction autobiographique témoigne d’une époque littéraire façonnée par l’expérience de l’exil et tourmentée par le sentiment de sa finitude. Paru en français pour la première fois en 1937, le roman est réédité ici dans une nouvelle traduction, proposée par Anne Reynès-Delobel, qui permet d’apprécier toute l’intensité et l’élégance de la prose poétique de Boyle, romancière moderniste unique, amoureuse des mots et de la vie. Femme aux multiples visages, architecte, écrivain, mère de six enfants, mariée à trois reprises, Kay Boyle (1902-1992) est un personnage hors du commun. Son œuvre considérable connut un très grand succès aux États-Unis. Le Cheval aveugle (The Crazy Hunter, 1940) a fait l’objet d’une traduction en 2008

    Abstract: What drove U.S. Catholics in their arduous quest, full of twists and turns over more than a century, to win an American saint? The absence of American names in the canon of the saints had left many of the faithful feeling spiritually unmoored. But while canonization may be fundamentally about holiness, it is never only about holiness, reveals Kathleen Sprows Cummings in this panoramic, passionate chronicle of American sanctity. Catholics had another reason for petitioning the Vatican to acknowledge an American holy hero. A home-grown saint would serve as a mediator between heaven and earth, yes, but also between Catholicism and American culture. Throughout much of U.S. history, the making of a saint was also about the ways in which the members of a minority religious group defined, defended, and celebrated their identities as Americans. Their fascinatingly diverse causes for canonization—from Kateri Tekakwitha and Elizabeth Ann Seton to many others that are failed, forgotten, or still under way—represented evolving national values as Catholics made themselves at home. Cummings's vision of American sanctity shows just how much Catholics had at stake in cultivating devotion to men and women perched at the nexus of holiness and American history—until they finally felt little need to prove that they belonged

    Abstract: En tiempos de golpes de Estado y de mercado, de guerras jurídicas y persecuciones a lideres políticos y sociales resulta indispensable construir alternativas de gobierno capaces de defender las conquistas sociales, la soberanía regional y la vida en democracia. Este libro ofrece un balance de los logros alcanzados por los gobiernos progresistas, nacionales y populares durante la primera década del siglo XXI, e identifica los aprendizajes que dejaron aquellas experiencias haciendo foco en tres grandes áreas temáticas: la económica-productiva-financiera, la agenda social y de ampliación de derechos –teniendo especialmente en cuenta la agenda de género– y la construcción del entramado de cooperación política e integración regional. Las sendas abiertas en América Latina reúne las clases dictadas por grandes referentes del campo político y académico que participaron de la Especialización en Procesos Políticos Latinoamericanos del Siglo XXI organizado conjuntamente por CLACSO, el Instituto Gino Germani de la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad de Buenos Aires y la Universidad Metropolitana para la Educación y el Trabajo, bajo la coordinación de Daniel Filmus y Lucila Rosso

    Abstract: Este libro comenzó a escribirse en 2010 y fue finalizado en la primavera de 2019, cuando en distintos países de América Latina, miles y miles de manifestantes colmaban las calles para expresar su disconformidad y hartazgo con el accionar de gobiernos conservadores y cuando, en Uruguay, el Frente Amplio (FA) enfrentaba su hora electoral más difícil en las últimas dos décadas. Estas páginas no fueron escritas de un tirón, sino de a pedazos, en numerosos artículos académicos, columnas de opinión y conferencias dictadas sobre los gobiernos de izquierda en la región. En 2009 fui elegida Senadora de la República por el FA, en el marco de un amplio movimiento que llevó a José Mujica al triunfo. Cinco años más tarde, en 2014, renové mi banca parlamentaria a través de otro movimiento: el que confluyó en la fundación de un nuevo grupo político dentro del FA: el sector Casa Grande. En estos quince de administraciones frenteamplistas en Uruguay hubo una ola de gobiernos de izquierda latinoamericanos de diversa procedencia y conformación que tuve el privilegio de conocer de cerca. De la interacción con estos partidos y movimientos me nutrí como política y como politóloga experimentando en carne propia lo que Álvaro García Linera denominara “una década de oro" en América Latina. Jamás imaginé que se pudiera hacer tanto en tan poco tiempo. Este libro honra el espíritu de esos tiempos donde se recorren las experiencias de los países que protagonizaron el llamado “giro a la izquierda" o “giro progresista"en el subcontinente y, en particular, deja un registro de lo que sucedió en el casouruguayo. Ello, desde la mirada de alguien que lo vivió por dentro. Constanza Moreira

    Abstract: Esta antología recopila estudios en perspectiva crítica, para aportar a una interpretación racional y objetiva de la realidad de Honduras los últimos cincuenta años. Los trabajos aquí reunidos han sido formulados desde muy diversos enfoques, con un denominador común: diferenciarse de aquella interpretación convencional de los fenómenos y procesos que cumple funciones de justificación del statu quo y suele circunscribirse al discurso oficial. Se han antologado veintidós trabajos, agrupados como una pluralidad de discursos cuestionadores y propositivos. Los trabajos no están presentados en un orden cronológico, sino en uno sistemático. Se han agrupado en tres secciones: Dinámica del poder, Sociedad, economía y desarrollo, y Pensar la nación. Los textos de la primera sección hacen referencia tanto a la crisis centroamericana y el inicio de la transición democrática, como al momento presente. La segunda sección incluye trabajos de los años sesenta y setenta del siglo anterior, junto con aportes actuales. En la sección tercera, cuyo objeto de estudio es la nación, los textos tienen una temporalidad más amplia, yendo del siglo XX al XXI

    Abstract: La cooperación Sur-Sur puede definirse como un entramado de relaciones e intercambios cooperativos y complementarios con objetivos de desarrollo entre actores del Sur. Estas prácticas gestaron un proceso que impulsó la colaboración como estrategia para resituar a los países del Sur en el tablero internacional. Su mayor desarrollo tuvo lugar a principios del siglo XXI, al integrarse a las políticas exteriores de un conjunto de países que, en paralelo, impulsaban en la agenda política y económica internacional reformas de gobernanza global, reconfiguración de alianzas regionales y coaliciones interregionales. El actual contexto latinoamericano es un momento crucial para reflexionar sobre el futuro de aquellas acciones que habilitaron el rico y valioso entramado que da nombre a este libro. En estas páginas, el foco fue puesto en un paso previo y fundamental de revisión y balance de una década de Cooperación entre los países del sur. Es esencial revisar hoy las estrategias, tanto en el plano regional como en los ámbitos nacionales. Es fundamental conocer los avances y los desafíos a los que se han enfrentado cada uno de estos países en la tentativa de promover el desarrollo y la integración regional. Y también es necesario sostener una premisa: los países del Sur pueden y deben continuar cooperando entre sí

    Abstract: Originally published in 1986. Political machines, and the bosses who ran them, are largely a relic of the nineteenth century. A prominent feature in nineteenth-century urban politics, political machines mobilized urban voters by providing services in exchange for voters' support of a party or candidate. Allswang examines four machines and five urban bosses over the course of a century. He argues that efforts to extract a meaningful general theory from the American experience of political machines are difficult given the particularity of each city's history. A city's composition largely determined the character of its political machines. Furthermore, while political machines are often regarded as nondemocratic and corrupt, Allswang discusses the strengths of the urban machine approach-chief among those being its ability to organize voters around specific issues

    Abstract: Originally published in 1978. When compared with socialist and communist systems in other nations, the impact of radicalism on American society seems almost nonexistent. David DeLeon challenges this position, however, by presenting a historical and theoretical perspective for understanding the scope and significance of dissent in America. From Anne Hutchinson in colonial New England to the New Left of the 1960s, DeLeon underscores a tradition of radical protest that has endured in American history-a tradition of native anarchism that is fundamentally different from the radicalism of Europe, the Soviet Union, or nations of the Third World. DeLeon shows that a profound resistance to authority lies at the very heart of the American value system.The first part of the book examines how Protestant belief, capitalism, and even the American landscape itself contributed to the unique character of American dissent. DeLeon then looks at the actions and ideologies of all major forms of American radicalism, both individualists and communitarians, from laissez-faire liberals to anarcho-capitalists, from advocates of community control to syndicalists. In the book's final part, DeLeon argues against measuring the American experience by the standards of communism and other political systems. Instead he contends that American culture is far more radical than that of any socialist state and the implications of American radicalism are far more revolutionary than forms of Marxism-Leninism

    Abstract: Originally published in 1982. Trade and Aid outlines the transition of U.S. foreign policy during the Eisenhower administration. In the years leading up to Eisenhower's election, America's predominant foreign economic program was based on the concept of "trade not aid," which deemphasized foreign aid and relied instead on liberalized world trade and the encouragement of private foreign investment to assure world economic growth. When Eisenhower took office in 1953, he embraced this doctrine. However, as problems in the Third World worsened, it became clear to Eisenhower and other architects of American foreign policy that trade and private investment were insufficient solutions to the economic woes of developing nations. In 1954 Eisenhower began to embrace economic aid as a core axis of his foreign economic policy. Burton I. Kaufman contextualizes Eisenhower's foreign policy leadership in the ongoing historical evaluation of Eisenhower's leadership prowess. He evaluates the outcomes of the Eisenhower administration's trade and aid program, arguing that developing countries were worse off by the time Eisenhower left office

    Abstract: Originally published in 1994. In this pathbreaking book Alan Tully offers an unprecedented comparative study of colonial political life and a rethinking of the foundations of American political culture. Tully chooses for his comparison the two colonies that arguably had the most profound impact on American political history-New York and Pennsylvania, the rich and varied colonies at the geographical and ideological center of British colonial America.Fundamental to the book is Tully's argument that out of Anglo-American influences and the cumulative character of each colonial experience, New York and Pennsylvania developed their own distinctive but complementary characteristics. In making this case Tully enters-from a new perspective-the prominent argument between the "classical republican" and "liberal" views of early American public thought. He contends that the radical Whig element of classical republicanism was far less influential than historians have believed and that the political experience of New York and Pennsylvania led to their role as innovators of liberal political concepts and discourse. In a conclusion that pursues his insights into the revolutionary and early republican years, Tully underlines a paradox in American political development: not only were the pathbreaking liberal politicians of New York and Pennsylvania the least inclined towards revolutionary fervor, but their political language and concepts-integral to an emerging liberal democratic order-were rooted in oligarchical political practice."A momentous contribution to the burgeoning literature on the middle Atlantic region, and to the vexed question of whether it constitutes a coherent cultural configuration. Tully argues persuasively that it does, and his arguments will have to be reckoned with like few that have gone before, even as he develops an array of differences between the two colonies more subtle and penetrating than any of his predecessors has ever put forth."-Michael Zuckerman, University of Pennsylvania

    Abstract: Originally published in 1975. This is a history of southern political life since the New Deal and World War II, encompassing a crucial epoch: an attempted Second Reconstruction of the South. The authors focus on the electoral response to candidates and issues. The authors contend that, despite the nationalizing and homogenizing forces that eroded much of the South's distinctiveness during the postwar years, the region's historical legacy perpetuated its distinctive patterns of cultural and political life. Further, the authors contend that despite the virtual destruction of the South's four inherited institutions of political sectionalism during the years of the Second Reconstruction-disenfranchisement, malapportionment, a one-party system, and de jure racial segregation-the new southern politics maintained a deep racial division that has militated against class coalitions, especially across racial lines, and has permitted government by relatively insulated elites

    Abstract: The conquest and colonization of the Americas marked the beginning of a social, economic, and cultural change of global scale. Most of what we know about how colonial actors understood and theorized this complex historical transformation comes from Spanish sources. This makes the few texts penned by Indigenous intellectuals in colonial times so important: they allow us to see how some of those who inhabited the colonial world in a disadvantaged position thought and felt about it. This book shines light on Indigenous perspectives through a novel interpretation of the works of the two most important Amerindian intellectuals in the Andes, Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala and Garcilaso de la Vega, el Inca. Building on but also departing from the predominant scholarly position that views Indigenous-Spanish relations as the clash of two distinct cultures, Gonzalo Lamana argues that Guaman Poma and Garcilaso were the first Indigenous activist intellectuals and that they developed post-racial imaginaries four hundred years ago. Their texts not only highlighted Native peoples' achievements, denounced injustice, and demanded colonial reform, but they also exposed the emerging Spanish thinking and feeling on race that was at the core of colonial forms of discrimination. These authors aimed to alter the way colonial actors saw each other and, as a result, to change the world in which they lived

    Abstract: Au cours du xviiie siècle, l’émergence d’une nouvelle forme de héros marque une étape cruciale dans l’histoire de la tragédie et du drame, entre la représentation de l’homme de guerre féodal au début du Grand Siècle et celle du bandit révolté dans le théâtre romantique du xixe siècle. Le héros plébéien des Lumières s’éveille dans les textes et sur la scène tout en se distinguant nettement du « grand homme », l’autre grande figure du théâtre des philosophes. Il s’illustre, non pas par sa naissance et sa fortune, mais uniquement par son mérite personnel et une puissance de contestation ardente et brusque jusqu’à la fureur. Par ses diverses incarnations sur la scène, il donne ainsi une première forme visible au désir d’émancipation sociale sans idéalisme et témoigne du passage déterminant en littérature d’un ordre symbolique hiérarchique à un ordre symbolique égalitaire. Cet ouvrage identifie les formes originelles du héros et de l’héroïne populaires au début du xviiie siècle, à travers une galerie de personnages qui appartiennent au tiers état (esclave, soldat de fortune, mercenaire, précepteur, officier, avocat, courtisane), avant de saisir leurs multiples mutations dans la seconde moitié du siècle, depuis Spartacus de Bernard-Joseph Saurin (1760) jusqu’à Épicharis et Néron de Gabriel Legouvé (1794), en passant par les œuvres des plus grands auteurs du temps (Voltaire, Marie-Joseph Chénier)

Bayor's study details how the relative tranquility among the city's four major ethnic groups was disturbed by economic depression, political divisions arising out of ties with the Old Country, and factional strife stirred up by local politicians seeking ethnic votes. Also evaluated are the effects of such emotional and political issues such as Nazism and Fascism upon the allegiances of Germans and Italians; the rift in the ethnic community caused by the communist scare; and the influence of such figures such as Franklin D. Roosevelt, Father Charles Coughlin, and Fiorello La Guardia

    Abstract: Otiginally published in 1975. At the time that Louis Galambos published The Public Image of Big Business in America in 1975, America had matured into a bureaucratic state. The expression of the military-industrial complex and big business grew so pervasive that the postwar United States was defined in large part by its citizens' participation in large-scale organizational structures. Noticing this development, Galambos maintains that the "single most significant phenomenon in modern American history is the emergence of giant, complex organizations." Today, bureaucratic organizations influence the day-to-day lives of most Americans-they gather taxes, regulate businesses, provide services, administer welfare, provide education, and on and on. These organizations are defined by their hierarchical structure in which the power of decision-making is allotted according to abstract rules that create impersonal scenarios. Bureaucracies have developed as a result of technological changes in the second half of the nineteenth century. Based on the premise that these structures had a stronger influence on modern America than any other single phenomenon, this book explores the public's response to the growth of the power and influence of bureaucracy from the years 1880 through 1930. What results is an examination of the social perception of bureaucracy and the development of bureaucratic culture

    Abstract: Originally published 1982. Bodnar's central concern in Workers' World is with the working people of Pennsylvania prior to World War II. He examines how ordinary people throughout the state navigated the changing set of industrial relations that fanned out across the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Since workers could not rely on unionism or government-sponsored safety nets, workers in Pennsylvania relied on kinship ties, job structures, and community relationships. In the past, Bodnar contends, American labor historians have focused mainly on the history of strikes, the rise of unionism, and the struggle for control over the workplace. In an effort to mitigate historians' flattening of workers into the two-dimensional plane of politics and protest, Bodnar revives workers and the world in which they lived by conducting oral interviews with textile workers, coal miners, steelworkers, and others in Pennsylvania

    Abstract: ''Although practices of editing and mentoring are part of an author's daily activities, they have previously been largely neglected by the literary studies. The bilingual volume therefore assembles players from the fields of literary production and theories of authorship and the writing process, who discuss the development towards an opening up of the creative writing process. Their contributions encompass not only reports of experiences made by authors, editors, and mentors and insights into teaching methods applied in creative writing classes at higher education institutions in different European countries. They also explore theoretical approaches to an intersubjective literary practice as well as suggestions for the definition of a dialogic notion of literature in the age of online publishing

    Abstract: A narrative is more than story it is a window into the world it narrates. Sebastian Meixner's book explores the juncture between narrative and world in his study of Goethe's early works. In three different constellations he investigates relationships of exchange between literature and science that Goethe used to ground the modern narrative

    Abstract: Whitman se feuillette et s'effeuille. Page à page, brin à brin. Celui dont on célèbre cette année le bicentenaire de la naissance lançait déjà au lecteur, au moment de disséminer sa semence poétique au vent d'une postérité fragile : « Ces feuilles, entre vos mains, vous les parcourez à votre propre péril, jamais vous ne les comprendrez. Voyez, je vous échappe déjà. » Rien ne sert, donc, de vouloir saisir la parole cosmique du poète-prophète d'une Amérique toujours à venir, ni de circonscrire les contradictions du « je » whitmanien, tout à la fois solaire et mélancolique, barbare et grec, à jamais excentrique et pourtant solitaire, lui-même absolument, bien que toujours un autre. Ce recueil fait le pari d'accueillir Whitman dans sa singulière pluralité, de le lire feuille à feuille, au risque du microscopique et à l'aune de sa démesure

    Abstract: He was twice the winner of the Pulitzer Prize in fiction: in 1919 for The Magnificent Ambersons and in 1922 for Alice Adams. His play Clarence launched Alfred Lunt on his distinguished career and provided Helen Hayes with an early successful role. His Penrod books continued the American boy-story tradition which started with the works of Mark Twain. Early in this century, through his novel The Turmoil, he warned of sacrificing the environment to industrial growth. Yet, since his death in 1946, Booth Tarkington-this writer from the Midwest who accomplished so much-has faded from the memory of the reading public, and many of his works are out of print. But his memory is fresh and vivid in the mind of his grandniece Susanah Mayberry, and her recollections of him leap from the pages of her book. She recalls that as a small child, before she was aware of her uncle's fame as a writer, he emerged as the one figure whose outline was clear among the blur of forms that made up her large family. "No one who met Booth Tarkington ever forgot him," says his great-niece. So, she introduces the reader to this multifaceted individual: the young man-about-town, the prankster, the writer of humorous letters (who drew caricatures in the margins), the bereaved father, the inspiration of the affection of three women (simultaneously), and the lover and collector of art objects and portraits. The author of this volume draws primarily upon her own personal experiences, family lore, and letters (some never published before) to portray her amiable uncle. She tells of the pleasure it gave him to entertain his young nephews and nieces at his Tudor-style winter home in Indianapolis - where they played a spirited form of charades. She recalls vacations which she, as a college student, spent at his light-filled summer home in Kennebunkport, Maine - where she met his famous neighbors. During all of those times, Uncle Booth was the keen observer of youth, who created Penrod and friends from his observations, and the teacher o f youth, who transmitted his own love of art to his young relations. While recapturing memories of the unforgettable Tarkington, Mayberry recreates an era of elegant and leisurely living, when on the dining table "in the fingerbowls . . . were nosegays of sweet peas and lemon verbena or geranium leaves." Susanah Mayberry shares with the reader a treasure of family photographs including Tarkington at various ages; interiors and exteriors of his homes; her father and uncles as children (the models of Penrod); the writer's indomitable sister who championed his early work; and his devoted second wife, a "gentle dragon," who kept his day-to-day life running smoothly. Indiana residents will feel "at home" with the frequent references to the state and its people. Indianapolis of the late nineteenth through the mid-twentieth centuries influenced Tarkington and his work. The city was his birthplace and his death place. He spent a year at Purdue University where he met such "brilliancies" as George Ade and John McCutcheon. Other famous and not-so-famous Hoosiers became a part of Tarkington's life, and they-along with international literary, theatrical, and political luminaries-reappear in Susanah Mayberry's recollections of her amiable uncle

    Abstract: Dave Ross (1871-1943) and George Ade (1866-1944) were trustees, distinguished alumni and benefactors of Purdue University. Their friendship began in 1922 and led to their giving land and money for the 1924 construction of Ross-Ade Stadium, now a 70,000 seat athletic landmark on the West Lafayette campus. Their life stories date to 1883 Purdue and involve their separate student experiences and eventual fame. Their lives crossed paths with U.S. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, Henry Ford, Amelia Earhart, and Will Rogers among others. Gifts or ideas from Ross or Ade led to creation of the Purdue Research Foundation, Purdue Airport, Ross Hills Park, and Ross Engineering Camp. They helped Purdue Theater, the Harlequin Club and more. Ade, renowned author and playwright, did butt heads with Purdue administrators at times long ago, but remains a revered figure. Ross's ingenious mechanical inventions of gears still steer millions of motorized vehicles, boats, tractors, even golf carts the world over

    Abstract: Drawing on extensive primary sources, including ward tax assessors' Taking Books, church records, census records, birth and marriage records, newspaper accounts, and town directories, Jacqueline Barbara Carr brings to life Boston's remarkable rebirth as a flourishing cosmopolitan city at the dawn of the nineteenth century. She examines this watershed period in the city's social and cultural history from the perspective of the town's ordinary men and women, both white and African American, recreating the determined community of laborers, artisans, tradesmen, mechanics, and seamen who demonstrated an incredible perseverance in reshaping their shattered town and lives.

    Abstract: From the food uprisings in the early 1700s to the notorious anti-busing riots in the mid-1970s, incidents of communal social violence have played a significant role in Boston's history. This vivid portrait of an ever-changing community over time provides a revealing glimpse into peoples' anger, aspirations, and frustrations. It sheds new light on why groups are provoked to take unlawful action in response to unjust conditions, and it opens a fresh vista on the social history of Boston.

    Abstract: Depuis la fin du xxe siècle, un pan de la critique universitaire s'est montré soucieux d'offrir aux études francophones un soubassement épistémologique capable d'asseoir leur légitimité. Le présent ouvrage se situe résolument dans ce sillage. Son originalité tient sans doute à la contribution d'écrivains et d'étudiants conviés à participer à cet effort réflexif. Adoptant une composition polygraphe qui mêle articles scientifiques, essais et entretiens, ce livre esquisse un inventaire des concepts, pratiques et méthodes permettant d'appréhender les écritures francophones du xxie siècle commençant. Il fait ainsi surgir ou resurgir quelques grandes questions et met en relief certaines nécessités : reconsidérer le concept même de francophonie, inclure la variété de ses espaces et de ses corpus, mais aussi sortir les études francophones de leur confinement. Plus globalement, il s'agit d'élaborer de nouveaux cadres théoriques pour repenser l'espace, le temps et l'histoire littéraire

    Abstract: George Ade, one of the most beloved writers of his day, carried on a lively correspondence with the most colorful of great and near-great. George M. Cohan, William Howard Taft, Theodore Roosevelt, John T. McCutcheon, James Whitcomb Riley, Finley Peter Dunne, Hamlin Garland all received letters from the Hoosier humorist. Ade's keen observation, compact and straight-forward style, and understated humor mark his correspondence as well as his immensely popular newspaper columns, books, and plays. As Paul Fatout writes in his foreword: "The charm of George Ade lies in his good-natured contemplation of our species, which delineates, not with malice or with condescension, but with the gusty enjoyment of a spectator entertained by a continuous variety show." Ade traveled the world over many times, but always returned to the home he never really left-Indiana. His companions and correspondents included presidents, senators, Hollywood moguls, and Broadway stars, but his first allegiance was to the farmlands and small towns of mid-America. From Hazelden Farm, near Brook, he kept in close touch with politicians from the precincts to the governor's mansion. He wrote to educators, editors, and executives, and took an active part in the life and growth of his alma mater, Purdue University. Characteristically, the man who succeeded as a writer by setting down familiar situations sent some of his most interesting letters to ordinary citizens all over the state. Ade's friendships were so diversified that his correspondence forms a patchwork of popular history, literature, politics, and entertainment. His interchange of ideas about people and events shaping the twentieth century as well as his own life will provide insights for students of varied aspects of American culture. This volume presents 182 of the most interesting and informative letters from the thousands of extant pieces of his correspondence in scores of collections scattered throughout the United States. The letters are arranged chronologically annotated with explanatory material and with sources. A foreword, introduction and Ade's biography are included. Photographs, sketches, handwriting samples, and other illustrations which evoke the man and his times are interspersed with the text

    Abstract: This biography details Hovde's life and times from his birth at Erie, Pennsylvania, through his boyhood at Devils Lake, North Dakota, and includes his student days at the University of Minnesota and in England and Europe as a Rhodes scholar. In addition, it outlines his career from the time he returned to the United States from England in 1932, as well as when he went back again in 1941 as the United States secretary for American-British scientific research and development exchange efforts. Principally, it covers his twenty-five years as president of Purdue University, his impact on higher education generally, and his retirement in 1971. The book depicts Hovde the president and Hovde the man. It focuses on the growth of Purdue University from the post-World War II years through the tumultuous times of the late 1960s and Hovde's own comments on those periods

    Abstract: A bustling commercial center and favorite tourist attraction on Boston's historic waterfront, Quincy Market, the popular name for Faneuil Hall Marketplace, draws throngs of visitors to the magnificent granite buildings and cobblestone concourses that house the area's specialty shops, restaurants, boutiques, pushcarts, and food stalls. Yet few are aware of the history of this legendary public place and its importance in the history of Boston and the nation. In this elegantly written and lavishly illustrated work, John Quincy, Jr., tells the absorbing story of the Market's unique evolution over the centuries. Beginning with John Winthrop's landing at the Great Cove on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1630, Quincy weaves together a remarkable tapestry of the district's rise, fall, and rebirth.

    Abstract: Machine de guerre au service des anciens, lancée au plus fort de la que­relle, instrument d'une christianisation des pratiques littéraires, Les caractères stupéfient par ce qui fut à leur époque considéré comme « une manière d'écrire toute nouvelle », utilisant l'écriture discontinue pour s'interroger sur l'intelligi­bilité des comportements humains. Cette œuvre ouverte permet d'inventer un mode d'investigation à même de restituer le processus par lequel s'élabore un savoir en perpétuelle réflexion sur lui-même, et rend sensible la force d'indi­gnation et d'inquiétude qui perce derrière l'humour, l'ironie et la comédie. Une hygiène de la pensée est nécessaire à celui qui entend résister à la puissance de falsification de l'égocentrisme. Elle est aussi condition d'efficacité du discours moral : le lecteur ne deviendra pas « raisonnable et plus proche de devenir chrétien » en demeurant passif, mais en entrant dans la dynamique cognitive du livre de morale, et en faisant pour son propre compte le parcours intellec­tuel déjà effectué par l'écrivain

    Abstract: Tiré de dix années d'oubli par Verlaine, rival posthume de Laforgue, salué par Tzara et Breton, Corbière n'est pas seulement le « poète maudit » ni « moderniste » qu'une certaine histoire littéraire a construit. Son œuvre, traversée par une puissance de dérision féroce, propose un recommencement du lyrisme à partir d'une esthétique polyphonique qui mêle dissonance antiromantique et consonance primitiviste. Son « ironie lyrique » (Bakhtine) perpétuelle ne peut plus être une quête de soi, mais une quête du vrai qui se fera aussi recueil de voix. Où l'on découvrira un « Maître-philosophe cynique » qui nous apprend à mourir de rire, qui «joue du couteau » contre une certaine tradition, romantique, contre le présent, parnassien, mais aussi contre la domination grapho-centrique, et donc pour l'inscription du corps dans la langue : « Si ce n'est pas vrai - Que je crève ! »

Este libro entrega lo que me quedó de muchas horas de conversaciones que hice con Luis Alberto Mansilla, las quedaron dispersas en el tiempo.

    Abstract: Originally published in 1995. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was paralyzed from the waist down, but he concealed the extent of his disability from a public that was never permitted to see him in a wheelchair. FDR's Secretary of State was old and frail, debilitated by a highly contagious and usually fatal disease that was as closely guarded a state secret as his wife's Jewish ancestry. The undersecretary was a pompous and aloof man who married three times but, when intoxicated, preferred sex with railroad porters, shoeshine boys, and cabdrivers. These three legendary figures-Franklin Roosevelt, Cordell Hull, and Sumner Welles-not only concealed such secrets for more than a decade but did so while directing United States foreign policy during some of the most perilous events in the nation's history. Irwin Gellman brings to light startling new information about the intrigues, deceptions, and behind-the-scenes power struggles that influenced America's role in World War II and left their mark on world events, for good or ill, in the half-century that followed. Gellman had unprecedented access to previously unavailable documents, including Hull's confidential medical records, unpublished manuscripts of Drew Pearson and R. Walton Moore, and Sumner Welles's FBI file. Gellman concludes that while Roosevelt, Hull, and Welles usually agreed on foreign policy matters, the events that molded each man's character remained a mystery to the others. Their failure to cope with their secret affairs-to subordinate their personal concerns to the higher good of the nation-eventually destroyed much of what they hoped would be their legacy. Roosevelt never explained his objectives to his vice president, Harry Truman, or to anyone else. Hull never groomed a successor, and Welles kept his foreign assignations as classified as his sexual orientation. Gellman tells the dramatic story of how three Americans-despite private demons and bitter animosities-could work together to lead their nation to victory against fascism

    Abstract: Building the American Republic combines centuries of perspectives and voices into a fluid narrative of the United States. Throughout their respective volumes, Harry L. Watson and Jane Dailey take care to integrate varied scholarly perspectives and work to engage a diverse readership by addressing what we all share: membership in a democratic republic, with joint claims on its self-governing tradition. It will be one of the first peer-reviewed American history textbooks to be offered completely free in digital form. Visit buildingtheamericanrepublic.org for more information. Volume 1 starts at sea and ends on the battlefield. Beginning with the earliest Americans and the arrival of strangers on the eastern shore, it then moves through colonial society to the fight for independence and the construction of a federalist republic. From there, it explains the renegotiations and refinements that took place as a new nation found its footing, and it traces the actions that eventually rippled into the Civil War. This volume goes beyond famous names and battles to incorporate politics, economics, science, arts, and culture. And it shows that issues that resonate today—immigration, race, labor, gender roles, and the power of technology—have been part of the American fabric since the very beginning

En él se recupera una valiosa tradición académica latinoamericana, en el sentido de dar visibilidad a los problemas de la exclusión, la marginalidad y las desigualdades no sólo con el fin de describirlos y explicarlos, sino también para poner en debate académico, social y político el alcance de las políticas de desarrollo vigentes. Más allá de que los datos generados, disponibles en acceso abierto, pueden servir para investigaciones muy variadas, desde un amplio abanico de enfoques teóricos, el sentido epistemológico, teórico y político de la información recogida se nutre de una perspectiva crítica de las actuales condiciones socioeconómicas estructurales que atraviesan a nuestra sociedad

Los autores pertenecen al equipo de este proyecto salvo el caso de Marcela Toro, articulista invitada. El objetivo del proyecto POLAME fue detectar las expresiones lingüísticas usadas en la prensa de cuatro países indo/latinoamericanos (Brasil, Argentina, Colombia y México), palabras, vocabulario, nociones, conceptos, atributos sobre la pobreza y sus representaciones, partiendo del supuesto de que, como formadora de opinión, la prensa hegemónica reproduce concepciones, creencias e ideologías sobre la pobreza

En nuestro continente, además de los casos mencionados, también hubo grandes luchas estudiantiles en Argentina, Colombia y Chile, que aparecen en este volumen, y en Bolivia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Perú y Venezuela, que lamentablemente no cuentan con capítulos específicos en nuestro libro. Se trata de un libro verdaderamente colectivo, porque reunimos investigaciones con perspectivas teóricas y metodológicas diversas, sobre varios de los ciclos de movilización estudiantil más trascendentes de seis países latinoamericanos hacia fines de los ’60 y principios de los ’70, procesos a los que llamamos “los ‘68". Compartimos artículos realizados con el marco conceptual del marxismo y otros escritos desde las teorías de la acción colectiva; investigaciones que utilizaron como fuente principal los testimonios orales y otras que privilegiaron el registro hemerográfico, escritos de una densidad descriptiva notable y reflexiones conceptuales originales. En todos los casos textos metódicamente construidos, que brindan nueva información o nuevos enfoques sobre la política, la cultura y la universidad latinoamericana en los años ’60 y ’70. Del Prólogo de Mariano Millán

    Abstract: La masacre de 1937 es un hecho horripilante y vergonzoso de la historia dominicana. Es un crimen contra la humanidad, una matanza hecha no por un país o un pueblo, no matanza hecha no por un país o un pueblo, no realizada en una guerra ni como acto de defensa o supervivencia, sino una de las tantas decisiones inhumanas de la tiranía trujillista, tomadas —en primer lugar— en contra el propio pueblo dominicano, para subyugarlo y doblegarlo. La Nación dominicana necesita salir de la negación o de la deformación de la Historia, necesita salir de la aceptación o validación de los mitos tiránicos, de sus silencios y acuerdos impuestos. Necesita dejar de venerar a falsos héroes y tomar como epopeyas hechos deleznables. Necesita reconocerse, reconciliarse consigo misma y reconstituir su ética de vida. Para ello, es preciso apoyarse en las tres columnas de la reconciliación: memoria, verdad y justicia histórica, que contribuyan a zanjar las heridas abiertas, a superar culturalmente esas marcas e impedir que se sigan replicando hechos de similar brutalidad, en cualquier modalidad que se presente

    Abstract: La presente antología contiene un amplio conjunto de textos que Fernando Martínez Heredia elaboró en función de los problemas sociales y retos que la práctica política socialista latinoamericana demandó al pensamiento con el objetivo de ir más allá de lo posible. Materiales vivos que nos incitan a pensar en tiempo de revolución para que, según dijera un humilde habanero que entregó su vida a esa empresa, los sueños de hoy se conviertan en la ley del mañana

    Abstract: Este libro es, como dice su autor, el resultado de más de treinta años de trabajo, envueltos en la reflexión crítica de la práctica, la investigación y la acción formadora de dirigentes y docentes. Hermosa, útil y esclarecedora cosecha que hoy se plasma en esta obra que el Dr. Rafael Lucio Gil, nicaragüense y español, ofrece a las comunidades educativas de nuestra región, y, principalmente, a la comunidad educativa de nuestro país, que tanto necesita de libros que contribuyan al mejoramiento substancial de nuestra educación. Aplicando la metodología que se resume en el binomio investigación-acción, inicialmente propuesta por el eminente sociólogo colombiano Orlando Fals Borda, el Dr. Lucio Gil nos entrega el fruto de su trabajo en los sustanciosos veinte capítulos que comprende el libro y que ofrecen, puedo afirmarlo con seguridad, el más completo panorama de la problemática de la formación docente, analizada con rigor científico y desde el doble propósito de contemplar, a la vez, horizontes y rutas de innovación.

    Abstract: Jamestown, the Lost Colony of Roanoke, and Plymouth Rock are central to America's mythic origin stories. Then, we are told, the main characters-the "friendly" Native Americans who met the settlers-disappeared. But the history of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina demands that we tell a different story. As the largest tribe east of the Mississippi and one of the largest in the country, the Lumbees have survived in their original homelands, maintaining a distinct identity as Indians in a biracial South. In this passionately written, sweeping work of history, Malinda Maynor Lowery narrates the Lumbees' extraordinary story as never before. The Lumbees' journey as a people sheds new light on America's defining moments, from the first encounters with Europeans to the present day. How and why did the Lumbees both fight to establish the United States and resist the encroachments of its government? How have they not just survived, but thrived, through Civil War, Jim Crow, the civil rights movement, and the war on drugs, to ultimately establish their own constitutional government in the twenty-first century? Their fight for full federal acknowledgment continues to this day, while the Lumbee people's struggle for justice and self-determination continues to transform our view of the American experience. Readers of this book will never see Native American history the same way

    Abstract: More than 150 years after its end, we still struggle to understand the full extent of the human toll of the Civil War and the psychological crisis it created. In Aberration of Mind, Diane Miller Sommerville offers the first book-length treatment of suicide in the South during the Civil War era, giving us insight into both white and black communities, Confederate soldiers and their families, as well as the enslaved and newly freed. With a thorough examination of the dynamics of both racial and gendered dimensions of psychological distress, Sommerville reveals how the suffering experienced by Southerners living in a war zone generated trauma that, in extreme cases, led some Southerners to contemplate or act on suicidal thoughts. Sommerville recovers previously hidden stories of individuals exhibiting suicidal activity or aberrant psychological behavior she links to the war and its aftermath. This work adds crucial nuance to our understanding of how personal suffering shaped the way southerners viewed themselves in the Civil War era and underscores the full human costs of war

    Abstract: Desde hace más de una década, el Grupo de Trabajo "Estudios sobre Estados Unidos" se ha caracterizado por concentrar su análisis crítico en el devenir de las transformaciones de la sociedad estadounidense, tanto en su dinámica interna como en su interacción con otros actores de la comunidad internacional, y especialmente de América Latina y el Caribe. Debido a la volatilidad e imprevisibilidad de las decisiones y acciones llevadas a cabo por Donald Trump desde que llegó al poder en Washington, consideramos urgente y necesario presentar esta nueva publicación, que se concentra en su primer año y medio en la Casa Blanca

    Abstract: Suele decirse que la primera víctima de una guerra es la verdad. De hecho, en una guerra en sentido estricto o en una guerra política, el asesinato de la verdad y la ocultación de los hechos ocurren profusamente. En Brasil no es diferente. La primera víctima del golpe parlamentario de 2016 no fue sólo la democracia. Fue también la verdad. Antes del golpe, y para justificarlo, las fuerzas antipopulares y antinacionales difundieron, hasta el cansancio, una serie de mentiras sobre los gobiernos del Partido de los Trabajadores (PT). Las fuerzas golpistas que asaltaron Brasil quieren hacer tábula rasa de este legado, ocultando los hechos a la población y destruyendo las extraordinarias realizaciones de este período histórico virtuoso. Por lo tanto, este trabajo es un esbozo para revelar y analizar este legado. No sólo para mostrar lo que se hizo en el pasado, sino fundamentalmente para revelar lo que puede hacerse en el futuro. Estamos convencidos de que si Brasil supera el golpe, la desestructuración del Estado y del mundo del trabajo, sus medidas extremadamente regresivas y promueve un nuevo ciclo de desarrollo, la base para tal superación debe estar basada en el legado de los gobiernos del PT.

Mira la gavia, ve, el pequeño Gaviero va mirando hacia Amberes y de sus ojos brotan Coello y Cocora

    Abstract: La obra de Andrés Caicedo ha sido analizada desde muchas ópticas, y desde todas esas aproximaciones su figura tutelar se ha robustecido con el mito de su muerte. Este análisis de la última carta que Caicedo escribió a Patricia Restrepo, constituye una radiografía del tormento que padecía el genio juvenil, pero también de un relato amoroso particular que debemos, cuando menos, mirar con sospecha

    Abstract: La primera impresión fue de piedra negra sobre cielo gris, y desde entonces se acabaron los colores. Era la ciudad de México en 1971, en 1972, y así sería siempre. Es una lástima porque las ardillas relucen sus extraños colores en Chapultepec, y el chile esplende rojo contra los tacos de lengua y ojos. Pero para mí ya no habría otros colores, además de esa sensación de salir corriendo, de escapar, de ver el azul del mar y olvidarse de estas montañas de erotismo volcánico. Mi hotel era el Montecarlo, en la calle Uruguay, sitio de encuentro con el espíritu de D. H. Lawrence y sus mañanas en México. El hotel hervía de escritores jóvenes como yo, de pintores alucinados por el yagé y las pirámides, de beatniks atolondrados entre el mezcal y la marihuana, de ángeles subterráneos empantanados de sexo y poesía

    Abstract: Babson recounts Detroit's odyssey from a bulwark of the "open shop" to the nation's foremost "union town." Through words and pictures, Working Detroit documents the events in the city's ongoing struggle to build an industrial society that is both prosperous and humane.Babson begins his account in 1848 when Detroit has just entered the industrial era. He weaves the broader historical realties, such as Red Scare, World War, and economic depression into his account, tracing the ebb and flow of the working class activity and organization in Detroit - from the rise of the Knights of Labor and the American Federation of Labor in the 19th century, through the Congress of Industrial Organizations and the sitdown strike of the 1930s, to the civil rights and women's movements of the 1960s and 1970s. The book concludes with an examination of the present day crisis facing the labor movement

    Abstract: Qué mejor introducción para referirnos al tema de ciudad en la obra de Andrés Caicedo que este inicio de su cuento Infección, el cual permite abrir las puertas a una concepción de ciudad que se dibuja en las palabras del autor. Además, mencionar un mediodía en la ciudad de Cali, sentado en el par-que y solo mirando, es un referente cercano para los caleños. El escenario común, estar sentados en medio de un sol caldeante mirando pasar a los caminantes. El escenario que se perfila de manera diferente y le da un matiz especial a esa misma ciudad "Por ser Cali y por ser extraña, y por ser a pesar de todo una ciudad ramera"
