Abstract

Provides insight into U.S. and Chinese involvement in aid, trade, direct investment and strategic ties in Latin American recent years, China has become the largest trading partner for more than half the countries in Latin America, and demonstrated major commitments in aid and direct investment in various parts of the region. China has also made a number of strategic commitments to countries like Nicaragua, Cuba, and Venezuela which have long-standing policies opposing U.S. influence in the region. China, the United States, and the Future of Latin America posits that this activity is a direct challenge to the role of the U.S. in Latin America and the Caribbean. Part of a three-volume series analyzing U.S.-China relations in parts of the world where neither country is dominant, this volume analyzes the interactions between the U.S., China, and Latin America. The book series has so far considered the differences in operating styles between China and the U.S. in Central Asia and Southeast Asia. This third volume unpacks the implications of competing U.S. and Chinese interests in countries such as Brazil and Argentina, and China’s commitments in Nicaragua and Venezuela. This volume draws upon a variety of policy experts, focusing on the viewpoints of South American and Caribbean scholars as well as scholars from outside states. China’s new global reach and its ambitions, as well as the U.S. response, are analyzed in detail. A nuanced examination of current complexities and future implications, China, the United States and the Future of Latin America provides readers with varied perspectives on the changing economic and strategic picture in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Abstract

»Postcolonial studies« haben in den Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften der vergangenen Jahre einen enormen Aufschwung erlebt. Bereits 1947 hat Joseph Höffner die Verdienste der spanischen Spätscholastik um einen menschenwürdigen Umgang mit den Bewohnern der kolonialisierten Gebiete in Süd- und Mittelamerika herausgearbeitet und so zu einem differenzierten Verständnis von Realpolitik und ethischer Refle-xion im 16. Jahrhundert beigetragen. Mit der Monographie »Kolonialismus und Evangelium« führt der vorliegende Band auf eindringliche Weise die Notwendigkeit von historisch sensibler Reflexion und systematischer Entschiedenheit vor Augen, derer es bedarf, wenn die christliche Rede von der »Würde des Menschen« nicht zu einer Leerformel verkommen soll.

Abstract

Zur Aufarbeitung des bewaffneten Konflikts zwischen Paramilitärs, Guerillas und Staat in Kolumbien werden seit den 2000er Jahren Maßnahmen der Vergangenheitsaufarbeitung implementiert. Unter Rückgriff auf postkoloniale Ansätze und gramscianische Perspektiven zeigt Sarah Helen Sott, wie sich im Konflikt entstandene Herrschaftsverhältnisse trotz der Formen von transitional justice weiter fortsetzen. Am Beispiel afrokolumbianischer, indigener und gewerkschaftlicher Positionen analysiert sie die Desartikulation und Exklusion subalterner Gruppen und macht sichtbar, dass eine grundlegende soziale Transformation notwendig ist, um die strukturellen Ursachen des gewaltsamen Konflikts zu überwinden. »[Die] Arbeit [überzeugt] nicht nur durch die stets stringente Argumentation, sondern auch durch das ausgewogene Verhältnis zwischen empirischer Datenerhebung, theoretischer Reflexion und kritischer Analyse.

Abstract

Prägend für das Nationsverständnis Argentiniens war das Bild, das die politisch wie literarisch einflussreiche generación del 37 von der künftigen Nation zeichnete. Doch welchen spezifischen Beitrag kann Erzählliteratur zur Konstruktion der Nation leisten? Dieser Frage widmet sich Veronika Österbauer anhand von Echeverrías El matadero (1839), Sarmientos Facundo (1845), Mitres Soledad (1847), Mármols Amalia (1855) und Alberdis Peregrinación de Luz del Día (1874). In interdisziplinärer Perspektive werden die textinternen Inszenierungen der Nation erstmals im Verhältnis zu Freiheit und Liberalismus untersucht und so für Politik-, Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft gleichermaßen geöffnet.

Abstract

El presente volumen está dedicado al estudio del complejo tema de la traducción, con especial énfasis en el contexto europeo-latinoamericano. Partiendo de la base de que tanto los textos como los códigos lingüísticos son portadores de procesos de intercambio cultural, reúne a investigadores de diferentes disciplinas filológicas con el propósito de integrar la teoría literaria con la lingüística. Uno de sus objetivos es sondear los límites del concepto de traducción entre los polos de una interpretación más restringida, concentrada en la transferencia de un códigos lingüístico a otro, y de una interpretación más abarcadora, que entiende la traducción, en un sentido muy general, como un proceso multidimensional de apropiación y transformación de textos y de lenguas. Los catorce estudios aquí recopilados examinan múltiples situaciones de contacto entre América y Europa desde la época moderna temprana con sus reflejos en las estructuras y las prácticas lingüísticas, así como en sus escenificaciones en textos literarios y en otras formas mediales. De esta manera, revelan multifacéticos procesos de apropiación y difusión, interacciones e interdependencias entre la lengua y el lenguaje, las tradiciones escritas y los discursos, las corrientes literarias y -sobre todo en las últimas décadas- los mecanismos editoriales y de mercado.

Abstract

Ab den 1950er Jahren griff im Westen die Angst vor einer ›Bevölkerungsexplosion‹ in den sogenannten unterentwickelten Ländern um sich. Eine rasant ansteigende Zahl an Bevölkerungsexperten sollte der vermeintlichen Gefahr mittels Familienplanung, neuer Verhütungsmittel und sexueller Aufklärung begegnen. Teresa Huhle zeigt, wie in Kolumbien im Zuge dieser Anstrengungen soziologische, demografische und medizinische Wissensbestände geschaffen wurden, die gesellschaftliche Debatten um Familie, Gender, Sexualität und Gesundheit maßgeblich formten - Debatten, die nichts Geringeres verhandelten als den Entwurf eines modernen und entwickelten Landes mit eigenverantwortlichen Staatsbürgerinnen und -bürgern. »Eine beeindruckende Publikation, die dem Leser viele Anregungen geben kann: zu Bevölkerungswissenschaften und zur Wissensproduktion sowie deren Verbreitung - weit über dieses eine Beispiel hinaus.« Ursula Thiemer-Sachse, Amerindian Research, 13/1 (2018) Besprochen in: http://www.frauensolidaritaet.org, 12 (2017) Historia Y Espacio, 50/14 (2018), Sven Schuster Journal of Global South Studies, 37/1 (2020), Kathryn Gallien

Abstract

"This book provides new perspectives into a subject that historians have largely overlooked. The contributors use fresh archival research from Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Bolivia, Mexico, and the Philippines to examine the lives of slaves and farmworkers as well as self-serving magistrates, bishops, and traders in contraband. The authors show that corruption was a powerful discourse in the Atlantic world. Investigative judges could dismiss culprits, jail them, or, sometimes, have them 'garroted and their corpses publicly displayed'"...Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Violence in Latin America and the Caribbean is no longer perpetrated primarily by states against their citizens, but by a variety of state and non-state actors struggling to control resources, territories, and populations. This book examines violence at the subnational level to illuminate how practices of violence are embedded within subnational configurations of space and clientelistic networks. In societies shaped by centuries of violence and exclusion, inequality and marginalization prevail at the same time that democratization and neoliberalism have decentralized power to regional and local levels, where democratic and authoritarian practices coexist. Within subnational arenas, unique configurations - of historical legacies, economic structures, identities, institutions, actors, and clientelistic networks - result in particular patterns of violence and vulnerability that are often strikingly different from what is portrayed by aggregate national-level statistics. The chapters of this book examine critical cases from across the region, drawing on new primary data collected in the field to analyze how a range of political actors and institutions shape people's lives and to connect structural and physical forms of violence.
