Humanidades Populares by Alan Quezada Figueroa,Ismael Cáceres-Correa,Rogelio Román Martínez Pdf

La actualidad demanda cada vez más el reconocimiento del “nosotros”, ese que es otro pero a la vez soy yo mismo. Ese “nosotros” está contenido en nuestro territorio, en Latinoamérica. Esta demanda surge a partir del desconocimiento mismo, que viene dado por el discurso eurocéntrico del que somos presa día a día, a través de los medios masivos y el aparato educativo que busca cada vez más la desaparición de aquellas disciplinas que proponen caminos formativos y no instructivos, es decir, aquellas que no actúan en función de un telos práctico-económico. Es por el riesgo que supone esta pérdida que nos encaminamos hacia nuestro des-conocimiento mismo, que es el camino hacia la autodestrucción como pueblos latinoamericanos y la continuación en la lógica de la colonización de conciencias. Es por lo anterior, que vemos la necesidad de espacios como el que presentamos en este primer número de nuestra Revista de Humanidades, la presente, junto con otras publicaciones de la Academia Libre y Popular Latinoamericana de Humanidades, une esfuerzos para plasmar aquello que creemos, con el único interés de ofrecer los ideales que enmarcan un pueblo latinoamericano capaz de reconocerse y ser reconocido por su notable presencia en la historia del pensamiento, tal como da cuenta el libro El pensamiento filosófico latinoamericano del caribe y “latino” [1300-2000] de los editores: Enrique Dussel, Eduardo Mendieta y Carmen Bohórquez. Esta obra contiene un importante número, no sólo de filósofos, sino de humanistas que han contribuido al corpus del pensamiento de “nuestra América”, sin embargo, es imposible que ella sola pueda contener la inmensidad de nuestro pensamiento. Por ello es que nos damos a la tarea de conocer, a través de esta publicación, las propuestas de todos aquellos que quieren expresar sus inquietudes respecto a nuestra América Latina.

Humanidades Populares by Alan Quezada Figueroa,Ismael Cáceres-Correa,Rogelio Román Martínez Pdf

En los tiempos presentes el mundo atraviesa por una serie de situaciones críticas. La renuncia del Papa Benedicto XVI, ha dado lugar a la elección, por primera vez, de un Papa latinoamericano de nombre Jorge Mario Bergoglio de nacionalidad argentina; es ciertamente un acontecimiento importante a nivel mundial y muy notorio que se trate de alguien de Nuestra América. Sin embargo, seguido de dicha noticia podríamos reflexionar en el gran impacto que ha tenido, todo el planeta tiene la mira puesta hacia la nueva decisión del Vaticano, pero ha de pensarse más allá en un pluriverso laico, en el que las diferentes religiones fueran igualmente importantes, es decir, que tendríamos que estar al pendiente de la misma manera, de las decisiones que se toman en la religión judía, la islámica, el budismo, etc. No obstante, el catolicismo parece ser la forma religiosa que genera más adeptos o por lo menos que acapara también los medios masivos de comunicación. Ojalá la Iglesia católica, como el recinto más rico del planeta, decidiera acabar con el hambre en el mundo y diera así lugar a la que parece ser la verdadera intención de dicha religión. Por otro lado, hemos sido testigos de la lamentable noticia del fallecimiento del presidente de Venezuela, Hugo Chávez. Un personaje que sin duda ha sido muy polémico y que, sin embargo, nos demostró que sí es posible una mejor condición de vida para los latinoamericanos. Las opiniones al respecto están divididas, no obstante, es reconocible el valor de nuestro revolucionario mandatario acaecido. Chávez logró con varias de sus acciones, mejores condiciones para los venezolanos, al nacionalizar varias empresas y medios, para el bienestar de su país. Es de esta forma que, como se mencionó antes, fallece un personaje valioso, que se suma a las páginas de la historia de nuestra América Profunda y de quien saldrán muchos detractores, pero también nuevas ideas y valores de nuestros hermanos comprometidos con nuestra región, es así, que menciona Fidel Castro a los medios: “Falleció el mejor amigo que tuvo el pueblo cubano”. Concluimos esta lamentable noticia a especie de recomendación: hemos de aprender de los grandes personajes, su espíritu por hacer un mundo mejor para los demás y no detenernos en encontrar sus fallas, es menester ir siempre a favor de la vida aunque en ello se nos vaya la propia.

Humanidades Populares by Alan Quezada Figueroa,Ismael Cáceres-Correa,Rogelio Román Martínez Pdf

En esta segunda entrega, comenzamos formalmente con los trabajos que hemos recibido, mismos que nos han parecido importantes para este abordaje que pretendemos llevar a cabo en el sendero que queremos trazar, no sólo como equipo o como revista, sino como latinoamericanos. Cada uno de éstos propone una mirada distinta, como si te tratara de unas gafas con las que podemos contemplar el mundo a partir de nuestra América Latina, pero no sólo eso, pues también se trata de abrirnos al mundo como sistema de pensamiento y crear un diálogo enriquecedor con personas de distintas regiones y de distintas disciplinas. En este número tenemos la participación de dos colegas españolas, que se han sumergido en el tema de la Filosofía de la liberación, esto pone frente a nosotros una mirada global, pero a partir de la periferia. Es ahí desde donde surge un pensamiento crítico, que no fluye en función al “centro”. De este modo es, que si se piensa desde el centro, nace con un poder crítico, que permite tener acceso a aquello que el sistema hegemónico del pensamiento ha hecho invisible por siglos. Por medio de estas ideas, nos acercamos cada vez más a aquel pensamiento con pretensiones de universalidad, a aquel que reconozca las diferencias y las reconozca en algún momento como propias, ese es el reconocimiento del otro. Debido a esto, nos abrimos al diálogo con nuestros hermanos del otro continente, ya que pretendemos ser una revista incluyente, lejos de caer en esos vicios del “sistema”, que no reconoce otro tipo de pensamiento, fuera del propio, como si nunca se hubiera salido de ese helenocentrismo que caracterizó por mucho tiempo a la filosofía, deviniendo ahora en eurocentrismo y americanocentrismo.

Popular Sovereignty and Constituent Power in Latin America by Emelio Betances,Carlos Figueroa Ibarra Pdf

This book combines a bottom-up and top-down approach to the study of social movements in relationship to the development of constituent and constituted power in Latin America. The contributors to this volume argue that the radical transformation of liberal representative democracy into participative democracy is what colours these processes as revolutionary. The core themes include popular sovereignty, constituted power, constituent power, participatory democracy, free trade agreements, social citizenship, as well as redistribution and recognition issues. Unlike other collections, which provide broad coverage of social movements at the expense of depth, this book is of thematic focus and illuminates the relationships between rulers and ruled as they transform liberal democracy.

Post-Popular Cultures and Digital Capitalism in Latin America by Pablo Alabarces,Néstor García Canclini Pdf

In this book, renowned Latin American intellectuals, Pablo Alabarces and Néstor García Canclini, bring us up to date on the changes in the status and role of the popular classes in Latin American democracies over the past two decades. Building on decades-long research and experience in the field of cultural studies, the authors ask how the digitalization and economization of society are changing the reality of political participation and social inequality in Latin America and beyond, leading to new forms of economic and cultural marginalization. García Canclini focuses on the rapid digitalization of our society and economies, ruminating over the future of political participation and democracy in the coming age of algorithms, transnationalization, and social precarity for growing swaths of the population. By contrast, Alabarces focuses on the disintegration and commodification of popular cultures throughout Latin America in the last two decades and discusses the consequences on democratic projects in the region. Both pieces approach the question of how democratic projects on a local, regional, national, and transnational level can deal with galloping social disintegration and accelerating political discontent as an increasing number of people within the course of this digital revolution gain voice: all this against the authoritarian or technocratic alternatives that have been gaining ground again. The introduction by Sarah Corona contextualizes the contributions and their authors in the academic and political debate. She connects their focus on popular cultures to broader questions regarding the future of nation-states and democracies facing multiple crises in the region and beyond. Post-Popular Cultures and Digital Capitalism in Latin America will be of interest to researchers and postgraduate students in political science, sociology, and cultural studies looking to freshen their views as well as develop an understanding of the Global South’s perspective on current global issues.

From Popular to Insurgent Intellectuals by Leigh Binford Pdf

From Popular to Insurgent Intellectuals explains how a group of Catholic lay catechists educated in liberation theology came to take up arms and participate on the side of the rebel FMLN during El Salvador’s revolutionary war (1980-92). In the process they became transformed from popular intellectuals to insurgent intellectuals who put their organizational and cognitive skills at the service of a collective effort to create a more egalitarian and democratic society. The book highlights the key roles that peasant catechists in northern Morazán played in disseminating liberation theology before the war and supporting the FMLN during it—as quartermasters, political activists, and musicians, among other roles. Throughout, From Popular to Insurgent Intellectuals highlights the dialectical nature of relations between Catholic priests and urban revolutionaries, among others, in which the latter learned from the former and vice-versa. Peasant catechists proved capable at making independent decisions based on assessment of their needs and did not simply follow the dictates of those with superior authority, and played an important role for the duration of the twelve-year military conflict.

Popular Contention, Regime, and Transition by Eitan Y. Alimi,Avraham Sela,Mario Sznajder Pdf

Although episodes of resistance and contention in authoritarian and authoritarian-like regimes constitute the majority of mass political movements worldwide, the theories and models of popular contention have been developed on liberal-democratic assumptions. Prompted by the recent revolutionary waves in the Middle East and North Africa, Popular Contention, Regime, and Transition offers a deeper understanding of the complex and indeterminate linkages between popular protest, regime type, and transitions in democratic and authoritarian regimes alike. Through a diverse array of case studies from countries around the world, this volume places the Arab Spring uprisings in comparative perspective, demonstrating the similarities and parallels between contentious events in democratic and authoritarian-like regimes. Leading scholars in the fields of political science, sociologoy, and international studies discuss topics such as the set of initial conditions involved in the protest, prospects of contention, and forms of protest, as well as the role of historical legacies, regime responses, the military, social polarization, and external factors in the divergent outcomes of protest. By situating the study of contention in authoritarian and semi-authoritarian regimes in comparative perspective, Popular Contention, Regime, and Transition generates powerful insights into the impetus, dynamics, and consequences of contention in all contexts.

Protest, Popular Culture and Tradition in Modern and Contemporary Western Europe by Ilaria Favretto,Xabier Itcaina Pdf

Mock funerals, effigy parading, smearing with eggs and tomatoes, pot-banging and Carnival street theatre, arson and ransacking: all these seemingly archaic forms of action have been regular features of modern European protest, from the 19th to the 21st century. In a wide chronological and geographical framework, this book analyses the uses, meanings, functions and reactivations of folk imagery, behaviour and language in modern collective action. The authors examine the role of protest actors as diverse as peasants, liberal movements, nationalist and separatist parties, anarchists, workers, students, right-wing activists and the global justice movement. So-called traditional repertoires have long been described as residual and obsolete. This book challenges the conventional distinction between pre-industrial and post-1789 forms of collective action, which continues to operate as a powerful dichotomy in the understanding of protest, and casts new light on rituals and symbolic performances that, albeit poorly understood and deciphered, are integral to our protest repertoire.

Evidentiality and Epistemological Stance by Ilana Mushin Pdf

This book explores the discourse pragmatics of reportive evidentiality in Macedonian, Japanese and English through an empirical study of evidential strategies in narrative retelling. The patterns of evidential use (and non-use) found in these languages are attributed to contextual, cultural and grammatical factors that motivate the adoption of an 'epistemological stance' - a concept that owes much to recent trends in Cognitive Linguistics. The patterns of evidential strategies found in the three languages provide a fine illustration of the balancing act between speakers' expressions of their own subjectivity, their motivations to tell a coherent and exciting story, and their motivations to be faithful retellers of someone elses' story. These pressures are further complicated by the grammatical and pragmatic conventions that are particular to each language. Evidentiality and Epistemological Stance: narrative retelling will appeal to those interested in evidentiality, grammar and pragmatics, cross-linguistics discourse analysis, linguistic subjectivity and narrative.

A History of Popular Education by Sjaak Braster,Frank Simon,Ian Grosvenor Pdf

Popular Education is a concept with many meanings. With the rise of national systems of education at the beginning of the nineteenth-century, it was related to the socially inclusive concept of citizenship coined by privileged members with vested interests in the urban society that could only be achieved by educating the common people, or in other words, the uncontrollable masses that had nothing to lose. In the twentieth-century, Popular Education became another word for initiatives taken by religious and socialist groups for educating working-class adults, and women. However, in the course of the twentieth-century, the meaning of the term shifted towards empowerment and the education of the oppressed. This book explores the several ways in which Popular Education has been theoretically and empirically defined, in several regions of the world, over the last three centuries. It is the result of work by scholars from Europe and the Americas during the 31st session of the International Standing Conference on the History of Education (ISCHE) that was organised at Utrecht University, the Netherlands in August 2009. This book was originally published as a special issue of Paedagogica Historica.

Indigenous and Popular Thinking in América by Rodolfo Kusch Pdf

Originally published in Mexico in 1970, Indigenous and Popular Thinking in América is the first book by the Argentine philosopher Rodolfo Kusch (1922–79) to be translated into English. At its core is a binary created by colonization and the devaluation of indigenous practices and cosmologies: an opposition between the technologies and rationalities of European modernity and the popular mode of thinking, which is deeply tied to Indian ways of knowing and being. Arguing that this binary cuts through América, Kusch seeks to identify and recover the indigenous and popular way of thinking, which he contends is dismissed or misunderstood by many urban Argentines, including leftist intellectuals. Indigenous and Popular Thinking in América is a record of Kusch's attempt to immerse himself in the indigenous ways of knowing and being. At first glance, his methodology resembles ethnography. He speaks with and observes indigenous people and mestizos in Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina. He questions them about their agricultural practices and economic decisions; he observes rituals; he asks women in the market the meaning of indigenous talismans; he interviews shamans; he describes the spatial arrangement and the contents of shrines, altars, and temples; and he reproduces diagrams of archaeological sites, which he then interprets at length. Yet he does not present a "them" to a putative "us." Instead, he offers an inroad to a way of thinking and being that does not follow the logic or fit into the categories of Western social science and philosophy. In his introduction, Walter D. Mignolo discusses Kusch's work and its relation to that of other twentieth-century intellectuals, Argentine history, and contemporary scholarship on the subaltern and decoloniality.
