Pablo Alabarces Pospopulares: Las culturas populares después de la hibridación

The book offers an in depth balance of the debates that have organized the studies on Latin American popular cultures for the last thirty years. Simultaneously, it proposes new perspectives in times of crisis for the category: the central question is what does the popular mean today? The relationship between popular cultures and mass culture has changed radically in this century, in a way not foreseeable by classical texts.

León Enrique Avila Romero: Alternativas al colapso socioambiental desde América Latina

Latin America is facing a serious environmental crisis, which is leading the subcontinent to a collapse, understood as a shift in society and in the current way of living. This ecological crisis has been intensified by the entrenchment of the neo-liberal economic model and neo-extractivism, which has led to a dispute over common goods.

Olaf Kaltmeier: Refeudalización

In contemporary societies we observe a state of social inequality as in the Ancien Régime, the concentration of wealth in the "1 percent", billionaires as presidents, the increase of luxury consumption and the emergence of a culture of distinction as well as the concentration of land and spatial segregation. In order to understand these phenomena in a coherent interpretative framework, this essay proposes the hypothesis that we are living in the early 21st century a new conjuncture of re-feudalization.

Mesa redonda «La academia en la mira: La violencia contra lxs investigadorxs en América Latina»

En los últimos años, el trabajo académico se ha convertido cada vez más en una actividad de riesgo. Vivir situaciones de riesgo y amenazas ya no es una excepción en el desempeño del trabajo académico crítico en América Latina, sino que más bien, se está convirtiendo en la regla. Lxs académicxs también constituyen un grupo en riesgo, expuesto a ser víctima de amenazas y hostigamientos que van desde la difamación pública en la prensa, las amenazas verbales y físicas, los registros en las oficinas y la confiscación de equipo hasta el arresto, el secuestro o el asesinato en casos extremos.
