This essay outlines the three articles in this dossier, “Latin American Studies and the Humanities: Past, Present, Future.” The authors, working in different disciplines, contribute to debates about how to reconceptualize area studies. Each article considers how area studies might be enriched by considering different spatial scales and incorporating methodologies drawn from ethnic studies disciplines. Our introduction explains how each essay contributes to our understanding of five key issues in Latin American studies: (1) the relationship between the field’s regionally bound framework and emerging conceptual paradigms like the global South; (2) the potential for interdisciplinary, rather than multidisciplinary, research; (3) how to place Latin American studies in dialogue with ethnic studies; (4) how to rethink the origins of Latin American studies by tracing the long history of Latin America–generated knowledge about the region; and (5) how recent indigenous studies approaches might decolonize the field of Latin American studies. El presente ensayo ofrece un resumen de los tres artículos, escritos por investigadores de diversas áreas académicas, incluidos en el dossier “Latin American Studies and the Humanities: Past, Present, Future” (Estudios latinoamericanos y las humanidades: Pasado, presente, futuro). En su conjunto y desde sus particulares perspectivas disciplinarias los ensayos contribuyen a notables debates actuales en los estudios latinoamericanos, planteando así cómo podemos enriquecer nuestras investigaciones a través de diferentes escalas espaciales-temporales y con diferentes métodos, incluyendo varias metodologías derivadas de los estudios étnicos. El presente ensayo introductorio explica cómo los tres ensayos contribuyen a nuestro conocimiento de cinco temas claves en los estudios latinoamericanos, incluyendo: (1) la relación entre las tradicionales demarcaciones geográficas de los estudios latinoamericanos y nuevos paradigmas conceptuales, entre ellos el Sur Global; (2) la posibilidad de mayores investigaciones interdisciplinarias en vez de trabajos multidisciplinarios; (3) los vínculos entre los estudios latinoamericanos y los estudios étnicos; (4) cómo una nueva historia de los saberes latinoamericanos, así generados en la región, nos ayudará repensar los orígenes de los estudios latinoamericanos; (5) cómo nuevos matices en los estudios indígenas podrán descolonizar los estudios latinoamericanos.

CATÁLOGO 19 FESTCURTAS BH, 2017

O cinema de não ficção latino-americano, que surge no final da década de cinquenta e cobre grande parte das décadas seguintes, mantém um compromisso com o pano de fundo de uma realidade social e política inquieta. Em termos de um horizonte histórico, encontram-se tematizados os grandes assuntos da crítica de uma geração que viu agitados por seus contextos o desejo histórico de uma revolução anticolonial e anti-imperialista, que deve fazer frente a contextos contra insurrecionais ou abertamente golpistas, próprios das areias movediças da história de nosso continente durante a segunda metade do século XX. Tal como Silvio Tendler nos faz recordar no documentário Utopia e barbárie (2008), ciclo sem fim de um século onde " sonhamos utopia, vivemos barbárie... ". Marcadamente, acompanhando esses processos em todo o continente, particularmente em Cuba, Brasil, Argentina, Chi-le, Venezuela, Colômbia, Uruguai e Bolívia, há o surgimento de um cinema de ruptura, militante e experimental que se abre a diferentes linhas de exploração, sendo impossível uni-las em uma única corrente estética, senão a de uma vocação explora-tória em dimensões líricas, subversivas e políticas. A mostra Radicales Libres, realizada para o FESTCURTASBH por Jorge Yglesias, de maneira heterodoxa e livre, é um panorama sólido de linhas de trabalho estabelecidas por distintas cinematografias, que vão desde horizontes nacionais a trans-nacionais, de olhares de autor ao cinema de coletivos, do cinema testemunho a vídeo-experimental, do documentário poético ao cinema contracultura.

Latin American Research Review, 2019

This essay introduces the three essays in this collection, “Latin American Studies and the Humanities: One Year Later.” This collection follows our first dossier, “Latin American Studies and the Humanities: Past, Present, Future,” which was published in September 2018 (https://doi.org/10.25222/larr.521). The essays here—all written by historians—address current questions in humanistic research in Latin American and ethnic/area studies, including object-centered analysis, comparative methodologies, and archival formation and practices. Our introduction situates the essays in the dossier within three critical contexts, suggesting how new work in Latin American studies can engage with diverse scholarly paradigms, frameworks, and methodological approaches, specifically oceanic worlds and science studies, ethnic and area studies, and Latinx studies. / El presente ensayo proporciona un panorama de los tres artículos históricos que forman este dossier, “Latin American Studies and the Humanities: One Year Later” (Estudios latinoamericanos y las humanidades: Un año después). Los trabajos de la presente colección contestan en cierta manera el dossier que publicamos en septiembre del año pasado bajo el título “Latin American Studies and the Humanities: Past, Present, Future” (Estudios latinoamericanos y las humanidades: Pasado, presente, futuro, disponible en https://doi.org/10.25222/larr.521). Los ensayos del presente dossier, a igual que los de la colección anterior, contribuyen a varios temas actuales en los estudios latinoamericanos, entre ellos el análisis de los objetos, metodologías comparadas y prácticas de archivo. Nuestro ensayo introductorio pretende situar los ensayos dentro de tres contextos críticos, así mostrando cómo diversos abordajes humanísticos y marcos teóricos nos ayudarán entender los vínculos entre los estudios latinoamericanos y tres campos particulares: los paradigmas océanos y los estudios de la historia de la ciencia y tecnología; los estudios de área y etnicidades; los estudios Latinx.

Much of current musicological scholarship is producing compelling, regionally based studies of musical trends. In his recent work Pensar la música desde América Latina, Juan Pablo González Rodríguez also takes a regional approach to Latin American musicology, examining twentieth-century Chilean music. The emphasis in this

The relationship that Spain has with its ancient colonies in Latin America is a complex one. Unlike the relationship that the United States has with Australia and United Kingdom, for instance, Spain is not a military ally of any of the big Latin American countries. Commercial exchanges are perceived by the common citizen as an affair of the economical elites and the presence of Spanish banks and corporations are seen suspiciously as a neocolonial activity. Asymmetrical economic relations make that immigrants from Latin American countries to are mostly unqualified workers while Spaniards travelling to the Americas do so in search of exoticism or commercial advantages […] Independently of the above considerations, the fact of sharing a common language has facilitated the consumption of cultural products such as literature, music, cinema and television series on both sides without regard to their provenance. Only the characteristics of the product and the entertainment or satisfaction value they offer counts. We have a situation where a web of complex and paradoxical relationships oscillates between the recognition of a common culture and the need of asserting historical differences. It is in this unstable scenario that the diffusion, reception and consumption of Spanish urban popular music takes place. Perhaps for this reason many songs produced in Spain have not been really understood in Ibero-America. Nevertheless some of them have been cultural and vital landmarks for thousands of individuals. They have been a defining element in the mechanisms of construction of the identity and the subjectivity of successive generations in sundry social groups. They are an integral part of the private life of many individuals and of the history of Latin American music. In this article I shall examine some facets of this complex relationship. I will emphasize above all, the processes and types of transnationalism of Spanish music in Latin America in cases that go from the reproduction of stereotypes of Spanish culture to the constitution of real transnational musical scenes lacking any marks of national culture and sharing a mental imagery and worlds of signification.

Latin-American Cultural Studies arise under the Britain and North-American model, but as substratum they enclose an extensive tradition of critical, historiographic and technical studies on culture, as well as a different and very complex cultural reality, which provide its own specificity. I dedicate this article to formulated theories in the vast space of Latin America that arise from the necessity to theorize its own reality.

Routledge History of Latin American Culture, 2018

While editing this book and translating many of its chapters, I was reminded of the radical difference between how Latin Americans and U.S. Latinxs 1 have traditionally viewed race, and in many regards, culture. Fortunately, that difference is beginning to erode. The United States has become a temporary and permanent destination for Latin Ameri-cans. Ideas, trends, expressions, and knowledge travel back and forth at a dizzying pace. It has also been at the crossroads of a changing identity among Latin Americans and a source of inspiration for new ways of viewing race. In the United States there is more cultural intersection and understanding between mestizos and American Indian groups. In fact, because of the debilitating effects of anti-immigrant racism in the United States, it becomes clear to us that we are, in fact, Black or indigenous, or more simply put, not white. There is no more pretense of fitting into a racial category when you are clearly rejected. This has facilitated the process of decolonization during the Chicano/a Movement by proclaiming the outright acceptance of our indigenous selves. The Chicano/a Movement partly came about as a defense mechanism: somos ni de aqui ni de alla. We were rejected for being too gringo and not gringo enough. Instead of suffering the effects of rejection because of our skin color, and therefore being traumatized, we rejected shame. We made peace with the idea of not being white. Culturally, we invested in our indigenous ancestry. And as César E. Chávez reminded the world: " Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot un-educate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore. " 2 Chicanismo represented a cultural shift; it lifted a demoralized people out of the dregs; it healed our trauma and made us confident enough to pursue our dreams. It also created a path for future generations of migrantes to follow. It is with this combative passion of change that I position the concept of Latin Ameri-can culture and chose the essays included in this volume. There are many perspectives on culture and many opinions on what it should or should not represent. Culture in Latin America, and among the Latinx population in the United States, has often been produced out of struggle. In many ways, this is a book that explores how colonialism has affected culture. The quest for identity and autonomy, the defiance of borders and homogeneity, the fight for equal rights and the rise of social movements, and the evolution of feminism and sexuality may seem politically driven but they have also contributed profoundly to culture in Latin America and among Latinxs in the United States. Even if we speak of the great works of art and literature in Latin America, they are often inspired by conflict. However, in this increasingly globalized world, Latinxs are learning from one another. We have more shared experiences now and it is possible for Latinxs from all parts of the Americas to sit down and map out commonalities, analyze differences, and reveal to one
