Crianza de imperios. Clase, blanquitud y la economía moral del privilegio en América Latina
Este libro, una etnografía realizada a lo largo de más de seis años, desarrolla una fuerte crítica a las prácticas contemporáneas de crianza de las élites latinoamericanas que, de forma intencional o no, consolidan la desigualdad y las jerarquías sociales a nivel nacional y global. Estas prácticas no son peculiaridades familiares o idiosincrasias benignas, sino transmutaciones del imperio y control estadounidenses y de alianzas ideológicas entre las élites a lo largo del hemisferio, que ahora buscan formas de control que tengan bases morales.
(Anti-)racismo y republicanismo negro en Cuba
Este libro aborda desde diferentes perspectivas la complejidad y la relevancia que ha tenido para la sociedad cubana el tema racial, desde la etapa colonial hasta la actualidad. Sus capítulos muestran la vigencia de un pensamiento afrodescendiente crítico, radical y humanista que se consolida en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX en relación con el republicanismo popular a partir de un reclamo profundo del principio de igualdad.
Políticas, afectos e identidades en América Latina
This new volume of the CLACSO-CALAS collection focuses on the articulation between politics, affects and identities. The contributions that integrate it reflect on the affective as a constitutive but not immutable component of human bonds and individual and collective identities.

"Pulsión de vida” y potencialidades de la paz: reflexiones sobre epistemologías y estéticas de paz desde la literatura en México
Un concepto de paz que no esté formulado de manera heterónoma, es decir, que no dependa de la violencia, necesita una crítica tajante de la ontoteología, entendida como las éticas occidentales incuestionables y la negatividad que fundan las nociones de política y biopolítica. Debido a la violencia en la historia de la humanidad, encontramos en la estética literaria tanto el desobramiento de la violencia como signos de pulsión de vida que emergen en medio de esta, los cuales permiten experimentar las potencialidades del vivir y el convivir. Con respecto al siglo XXI en México, estéticas y na
Bordar, cantar y cultivar espacios de dignidad: ecologías del duelo y mujeres atrateñas
This book presents a compelling mix of personal memories and stories of black women that makes visible armed and structural violence, racism and resilience. Personal and collective narratives, threaded with a critical anthropological and feminist look at the armed conflict and its impacts in Chocó, are joined by the productions of black women academics on this territory.
De guerrilleros, subversivos y terroristas: Discursos sobre la violencia en el Juicio a las Juntas (Argentina, 1985)
This working paper seeks to contribute to the reflection on the meaning of the Judgment and at the same time to contribute to the social and political history of language in Argentina
Ciclos de violencia y género: los momentos de conflicto en América Latina como generadores de identidad de género
This study suggests that correct female behavior was a type of public discourse in Latin America; thus, when women broke with these traditional norms, they provoked "moments of anxiety".
Las caravanas centroamericanas. Guerras inciviles, migración y crisis del estatuto de refugiado
Images of the caravans of Central American migrants crossing the continent to reach the U.S. shocked media audiences around the globe. Associations were inevitable with the war in Syria and other countries that have provoked comparable displacements of people. The migrants' testimonies stated that they were fleeing violence, lack of employment, government corruption, a social crisis akin to a state of war.

Producción de conocimientos en tiempos de crisis: dialogando desde la horizontalidad
¿Cómo generamos conocimiento para afrontar los problemas que hoy nos aquejan? Para responder esta pregunta, este libro explora elementos dialógicos como la escucha, el reconocimiento mutuo, la participación igualitaria en las comunidades científicas o la representación del otro, sus voces y las nuestras. Se reúnen diez contribuciones que formaron parte del congreso que titula a este libro, el cual fue un punto de encuentro entre jóvenes investigadores e investigadores consolidados y de cuyos diálogos pretenden servir como guía para trazar nuevas rutas.
Etnicidad y autonomía en Cherán K'eri: una reflexión horizontal
In 2011, the inhabitants of the town of Cherán (Michoacán), tired of the dispossessions they suffered at the hands of organized crime, spontaneously initiated not only a process of self-defense, but also an unprecedented political project for their self-determination as an original and autonomous P'urhépecha community. This case raises the question that guides this paper: How to understand Cherán's autonomous political project from an ethnic perspective?

FIAR Vol. 15.2 (Dec. 2022) Struggles over Mining and Territory in Latin America
The nexus between extractivist activities, mining conflicts and territory has become increasingly visible and discussed both in social movements and local struggles as well as in academic debates, especially in Latin America (Göbel y Ulloa 15).
Violencias y resistencias. América Latina entre la historia y la memoria
Historical studies of violent pasts in Latin America are intrinsically connected to memory studies and, more broadly, to memory politics and memorial cultures. Struggles to explain the construction of the present reflect how societies constantly seek to reinterpret their past, leading to strong political debates and conflicts. The question of how to deal with traumatic past experiences, often related to political violence, has become an issue of great social relevance in many Latin American countries.
La horizontalidad en las instituciones de producción de conocimiento: ¿Perspectiva o paradoja?
Every knowledge producer linked to an institution has experienced the imperatives that, through rules and hierarchies, channel the production of knowledge and limit the results generated there.
Figuraciones de la violencia. Sociología de novelas latinoamericanas
The relationship between sociology and literature has always been characterized by conflicts and complementarities. Since the end of the 19th century, a new episteme on the knowledge of reality and the unrealities that configure it has been consolidated. Whether as a challenge to understand the "human comedy" or as a way of discovering the unconscious, commodity fetishism or the enigma of modernity, sociology and literature have walked the crossroads of the sociological imagination.
La guerra en Ucrania. Miradas desde América Latina
The escalation of the conflict in Eastern Europe following the invasion of Russian troops into Ukrainian territory on February 24, 2022 has immediately become a crisis of global dimensions and consequences. Although Latin America and the Caribbean are supposedly far from the war, they are not exempt from the impacts and political or economic repercussions.
Corona in Lateinamerika
This volume analyzes the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic and the policy measures related to its containment in Latin America and the Caribbean. The contributions highlight the consequences of the pandemic in terms of social inequalities, gender relations, violence against women, migration, democracy, human rights, protest mobilization and environmental policy.
(Post-)colonial Archipelagos: Comparing the Legacies of Spanish Colonialism in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines
The Puerto Rican debt crisis, the challenges of social, political, and economic transition in Cuba, and the populist politics of Duterte in the Philippines—these topics are typically seen as disparate experiences of social reality. Though these island territories were colonized by the same two colonial powers—by the Spanish Empire and, after 1898, by the United States—research in the fields of history and the social sciences rarely draws links between these three contexts.
¿Latinoamérica y Paz? Propuestas para pensar y afrontar la crisis de la violencia
Peace is a concept that is not usually associated with Latin America. Rather, various forms of violence, whether criminal, state, economic or cultural, are commonly associated with the region. The studies gathered here emphasize that, although the subcontinent is historically affected by these serious crises, it is also characterized by important attempts to confront them and seek forms of peaceful coexistence. The analytical perspective developed here understands peace as always intertwined with violence and proposes it as a continuous effort of resistance.
