El estudio se dedica a representaciones historiográficas, literarias y fílmicas del Descubrimiento y de la Conquista de América. A través de apropiaciones variadas de los mismos acontecimientos históricos, los respectivos representantes artísticos se vinculan intertextual o intermedialmente. Las imágenes de ficción crean una realidad, de ahí el título La Conquista imaginaria, que alude a la concepción de la nación como imagined community de Benedict Anderson (1983). Las narraciones ficcionales crean a la vez historia, puesto que influyen en el imaginario colectivo y operan como un dispositivo ideológico y memorístico. El objetivo es desenredar estas relaciones transtextuales y reconstruir las visiones singulares de la Conquista y su función.

Transculturality is a new way of viewing culture that sees cultures not as separate islands that are easily differentiated from one another, but as connected and interacting webs of meaning and practice. The Americas in particular offer many examples of transcultural identities that do not fit easily into one national or ethnic mold: Chicanos, Franco-Ontarians, Creoles, and second and third generation immigrants. From Quebec to Argentina, this volume explores these identities which create themselves in a space between sameness and difference.

Oil wealth and Federal Conflict in American Petrofederations documents the critical relationship between oil rents and federal conflicts by illustrating key concepts with six representative cross-regional case studies. Each case study discusses encompasses qualitative, quantitative and comparative elements under a common structure. With each petrofederation ranging in conflict types and modalities, the work as a whole identifies key differences including oil rent decentralization (in terms of resource property, sector management and distribution of revenues), sectoral importance (considered at national and subnational levels), and federation redistribution policy (in terms of fiscal federal imbalance, fiscal equalization, and oil rent use for regional equity).Collectively, the book generalizes a consistent theory of causality between oil rents and federal conflicts that take into account systemic variables. The book's conclusions will serve as a guide for researchers and policymakers seeking pathways to translate oil rents into development and stability.
