Esta obra responde a los actuales desafíos teóricos, epistemológicos, metodológicos y políticos que enfrenta la sociología cultural con una primera ronda de contribuciones que discuten casos empíricos de la agenda latinoamericana. Esta obra entiende que la sociología cultural está llamada a lidiar de forma mucho más directa con la diferencia cultural; que debe ser capaz de ofrecer conocimiento relevante e influir sobre la dinámica social, y que tiene que desarrollar un ethos y una epistemología con un fuerte componente de intervención social. En este marco, este libro ofrece un giro latinoamericano en la trayectoria del programa fuerte de la sociología cultural.

El libro, Acercamientos Multidisciplinarios a las Emociones, es el resultado de un trabajo conjunto de colegas provenientes de distintos campos disciplinarios interesados en el estudio de las emociones. Este tema requiere hoy en día —como la mayor parte de los distintos temas de investigación— ser analizado considerando lo que han aportado las diferentes disciplinas, enfoques conceptuales y metodológicos, aproximaciones cuantitativas y cualitativas, y las evidencias empíricas arrojadas por todos ellos en su análisis. El objetivo central del libro es presentar esa variedad de miradas y resultados con el fin de tener una mayor comprensión sobre la naturaleza de las emociones, sus diferentes aspectos y sus condicionantes sociales y culturales.

This book rethinks gubernatorial effects on national politics using the case of the Argentine Senate. Simultaneously analyzing senatorial behavior in committees and on the floor, Kikuchi argues that senators strategically change their actions according to stages in the legislative process, and that longstanding governors may influence national politics, causing their senators to shelve unwanted presidential bills at the committee stage. He explains senatorial behavior focusing on varieties in the combinations of principals, whose preferences senators must take into account, and shows that legislators under the same electoral system do not necessarily behave in the same way. He also demonstrates that this argument can be applied to cases from other federal countries, such as Brazil and Mexico. Based on rich qualitative evidence and quantitative data, the book offers a theoretical framework for understanding how some governors may influence national politics.
