En este libro se presentan los resultados del análisis de las representaciones sociales y la patrimonialización del registro arqueológico del pasado indígena en el Área de Ventania de la provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina. La investigación se caracteriza por su transdisciplinariedad, dentro de la cual dialogan perspectivas teóricas y metodológicas propias de la Comunicación, los Estudios Culturales, la Antropología y la Arqueología. Un objetivo central del libro es analizar las representaciones sociales construidas por instituciones oficiales, museos y agentes del campo cultural, considerando las prácticas que relacionan a la comunidad con el registro arqueológico de las poblaciones cazadoras recolectoras que habitaron la región desde hace aproximadamente 6.000 años. La investigación permitió explicar las relaciones de poder que operan en el vínculo entre presente y pasado, enmarcadas en las interacciones comunicativas entre los sujetos, su pasado y el patrimonio arqueológico. Asimismo, aportó elementos para la elaboración de políticas de distinción, divulgación y preservación del registro arqueológico

"On the Other Shore explores the social history of Italian communities in South America and the transnational networks in which they were situated during and after World War I. From 1915 to 1921 Italy's conflict against Austria-Hungary and its aftermath shook Italian immigrants and their children in the metropolitan areas of Buenos Aires, Montevideo, and São Paulo. The war led portions of these communities to mobilize resources-patriotic support, young men who could enlist in the Italian army, goods like wool from Argentina and limes from Brazil, and lots of money-to support Italy in the face of "total war." Yet other portions of these communities simultaneously organized a strident movement against the war, inspired especially by anarchism and revolutionary socialism. Both of these factions sought to extend their influence and ambitions into the immediate post-war period.On the Other Shore demonstrates patterns of social cohesion and division within the Italian communities of South America; reconstructs varying transatlantic and inter-American networks of interaction, exchange, and mobility in an "Italian Atlantic"; interrogates how authorities in Italy viewed their South American "colonies"; and uncovers ways that Italians in Latin America balanced and blended relationships and loyalties to their countries of residence and origin. On the Other Shore's position at the intersection of Latin American history, Atlantic history, and the histories of World War I and Italian immigration thereby engages with and informs each of these subject areas in distinctive ways. "-- "John Starosta Galante explores the presence, pull, and rejection of Italian nationalism and italianità (or Italianness) in Buenos Aires, Montevideo, and São Paulo during World War I"--

This open access regional reader examines emerging issues around new migration patterns in South America and their relationship with changing migration policies over the last twenty years. The first part of the book looks at conceptual discussions on mixed and survival migration, the link between migration and extractivism, and the specific character of transit migration. A second part examines how these debates have led to transformations in state policies, and the shift in government policies from a human rights-based approach towards more restrictive ones. Finally, the third section revisits the relationship between racism, xenophobia and colonialism in contemporary migrations. As such this book makes an interesting read to students, academics, policy makers and all those working in the field.

""The Fabric of Resistance" documents the impact of Spanish colonial institutions of labor on identity and social cohesion in Peru. Through archaeological and historical lines of evidence, it examines the long-term social conditions that enabled the large-scale rebellions in the late Spanish colonial period in Peru (1780s-1820s). Hu argues that, despite the Spanish government's emphasis on divide-and-control, workers of diverse backgrounds actively resisted proscriptions against intercaste mixing. This cultural mixing underpinned the coordinated nature of late colonial rebellions. Archaeological perspectives are lacking on what were the largest and most cosmopolitan indigenous-led rebellions of the Americas, so this book fills an important gap and provides fresh perspectives and arguments on a perennially important subject"--

En Guyane, pendant des décennies — et aujourd'hui encore à Saint-Georges-de-l'Oyapock —, des enfants de différentes communautés autochtones ont grandi dans des " homes indiens ", pensionnats tenus par des congrégations catholiques. La politique d'assimilation forcée ainsi menée par l'Etat français avec l'appui du clergé atteste des persistances coloniales dans ce jeune département d'outre-mer. Dans une enquête approfondie mêlant archives et témoignages, Hélène Ferrarini lève le voile sur une histoire jusqu'alors ignorée

Moche murals of northern Peru represent one of the great, yet still largely unknown, artistic traditions of the ancient Americas. Created in an era without written scripts, these murals are key to understandings of Moche history, society, and culture. In this first comprehensive study on the subject, Lisa Trever develops an interdisciplinary methodology of “archaeo art history” to examine how ancient histories of art can be written without texts, boldly inverting the typical relationship of art to archaeology. Trever argues that early coastal artistic traditions cannot be reduced uncritically to interpretations based in much later Inca histories of the Andean highlands. Instead, the author seeks the origins of Moche mural art, and its emphasis on figuration, in the deep past of the Pacific coast of South America. Image Encounters shows how formal transformations in Moche mural art, before and after the seventh century, were part of broader changes to the work that images were made to perform at Huacas de Moche, El Brujo, Pañamarca, and elsewhere in an increasingly complex social and political world. In doing so, this book reveals alternative evidentiary foundations for histories of art and visual experience.

"The Pacific Coast of the Americas linked Pre-Columbian complex societies from Mexico to Peru, facilitating exploration, communication, and transportation in a way that terrestrial routes could not match. Yet West Mexico, the Isthmo-Colombian Area, and Ecuador, with their great stretches of coastline, were marginalized by the definition of the Mesoamerican and Andean culture areas in the 1940s. Waves of Influence seeks to renew the inquiry into Pacific coastal contacts and bring fresh attention to connections between regions often seen as isolated from one another. This volume reassesses the evidence for Pre-Columbian maritime contacts along the Pacific Coast, from western Mexico to northwestern South America. The authors draw upon recent models of globalization, technological style, and ritual commensality alongside methods such as computer simulation, iconographic analysis, skeletal studies, and operational chains. No single model can characterize the coastal network over 4,000 km of coastline and over 4,000 years of interaction, and authors present individual case studies to demonstrate how each region participated in its own distinct networks. Essays address the difficulty of maritime movement, the transfer of crops, technology, and knowledge, the identification of different modalities of contact, and the detection of important nodes and social actors within the coastal network"--
