Social Sciences
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Katherine D. McCann is acting editor for this volume. The subject categories for Volume 57 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Social Sciences Anthropology Economics Geography Government and Politics International Relations Sociology
Culture and Politics
With "race" being discredited as a rallying cry for populist movements because of the atrocities committed in its name during World War II, "culture" has been adopted by right-wing groups instead, but used in the same exclusionary manner as racism was. This volume examines the essentialism, which is implicit in racial theories and re-emerges in the ideological use of cultural identity in new rightist movements, and presents case studies from different parts of the world where researchers were confronted with racism and worked out ways of coping with it.
The Musical Iconography of Power in Seventeenth-Century Spain and Her Territories
As Spain encountered economic and political crises in the seventeenth century, the imagery of musical performance was invoked by the state to represent the power of the monarch and to denote harmony throughout the kingdom. Based on contemporary sources, Gonzalez is able to unravel the complex iconography of Spanish politics.
Diálogos y problemáticas de los movimientos indios de América Latina entre los siglos XX y XXI
A finales del pasado siglo xx, aprovechando el altavoz que supuso la tan controvertida celebración del llamado V Centenario del descubrimiento de América en el año 1992, se produjo un fenómeno paralelo de reflexiones, análisis, discursos y cambios en la academia española -en el ámbito de la Antropología americanista- que no se entiende sin la participación, presencia y voces de múltiples representantes de los pueblos indígenas que en esos años tuvieron la oportunidad de trasladar en nuestro entorno su malestar, sus reivindicaciones y el objeto y razón de sus luchas por defender sus derechos como pueblos. El Departamento de Historia de América, con su subsección de Antropologí...
Elogio de la antropología histórica
Elogio de la antropología histórica parte de una constatación primordial: que el estudio de la sociedad no se puede emprender sin considerar el peso de la historia y que las separaciones académicas entre disciplinas deberían poder ser superadas en beneficio del conocimiento. La antropología no se puede limitar a situar su objeto en su contexto inmediato, sino que su propio sujeto de estudio es la sociedad como un problema histórico. El libro muestra los complejos intentos de superar esta separación, presentando enfoques, metodologías y aplicaciones directas al estudio de las relaciones de poder y los sistemas de clasificación social, con una especial atención a la reconstrucción de las situaciones coloniales.
Music, Sensation, and Sensuality
Divided into three sections, Linda Phyllis Austern collects eighteen, cross-disciplinary essays written by some of the most important names in the field to look at this stimulating topic. The first section focuses on the cultural and scientific ways in which music and the sense of hearing work directly on the mind and body. Part Two investigates how music works on the socially constructed, representational or sexualized body as a means of healing, beautifying and maintaining a balance between the mental and physical. Finally, the book explores the action of music as it is heard and sensed by wider social units, such as the body politic, mass communication, from print to sound recording, and broadcast technologies.
