Wickham-Crowley, Timothy P. "Terror and Guerrilla Warfare in Latin America, 1956–1970." Comparative Studies in Society and History 32, no. 2 (April 1990): 201–37. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0010417500016467.
Full textAbstract:
Most of the extraordinary waves of terror which have swept many Latin American societies since 1970 have occurred in guerrilla-based insurgencies or even civil wars. Because of the massive body counts produced during these confrontations between revolutionaries and counterrevolutionaries based in or linked with a government, human rights organizations have issued a long series of reports about terror—especially that which has been carried out by incumbent regimes and death squads—and which has been supplemented by the exposés of the guerrillas themselves. Amnesty International, the Human Rights group in the Organization of American States (OAS), and Americas Watch have been the major international actors documenting the wave of terror. Many independent national groups, such as El Salvador's “Socorro Juridico” and other human rights organizations linked with church bodies have undertaken that more perilous task at home.

Full textAbstract:
Colombia is one the oldest democracies in the continent, but it holds the record for having the longest internal armed conflict in Latin America. The emergence of guerrillas, drug trafficking, and the proliferation of criminal groups, combined with the state's shortcomings, have made this territory a hotbed of conflict. Despite having a stable economy and plenty of resources the country is struggling to find long lasting peace.

Full textAbstract:
<p>After several coups assisted by US agencies since the fifties in Latin America, and deep economic crises in the eighties and the nineties in South America explained by “the rule of markets” enforced by multilateral organizations, the US leadership in the Americas has been lost, and democratic countries have turned against neoliberalism with wide popular support inside a new “South American revolution” with important projects of integration. Colombia has become the capital in South America for US leadership in economics and politics, and the only country that still has guerrillas, paramilitary armies, and internal conflict. What has been the role of the US in Colombian conflict? What is in stake with the new peace process in Colombia? How this process will affect the US leadership in Latin America? These are some questions that will be reviewed by Noam Chomsky, one of the most influential thinkers of our times.</p>

In January 2001, before the Conference on Latin American History decided to link its annual luncheon address to the recipient of its Distinguished Service Award, I had the honor of speaking at the CLAH luncheon, and in that previous talk I briefly discussed the circumstances that led to my becoming a Latin Americanist. Here I return to the theme of becoming a historian of Latin America, but this time I will be drawing not on my own rather unremarkable experience, but instead on my current research for an intellectual biography of the renowned Latin Americanist Frank Tannenbaum (1893–1969), whose path to specialization in Latin American history was considerably more remarkable.

Full textAbstract:
Venezuelan politics attracted little attention from political scientists for thirty years after the defeat of the fidelista guerrillas in the 1960s, but there has been a surge of interest in recent years. The country retained civilian, elected govern- ment through a dark period of authoritarianism in Latin America, which seemed to make it a good candidate for deriving lessons about transitions to democracy. In the 1990s, however, the democratic system entered into crisis. Venezu- ela experienced urban riots, two unsuccessful coups, removal of a president from office before completion of his term, rising electoral abstention, collapse of the traditional parties at the heart of the system, and the election of a coup leader to the presidency. Attention shifted from what went right to what went wrong. These books help us understand the limitations of the Venezuelan democratic model.

Full textAbstract:
The review focuses on the book On “El Tungsteno” by César Vallejo (Sobre “El Tungsteno” de César Vallejo) by Carlos Fernández and Valentino Gianuzzi, published in 2021 in honor of the 90th anniversary of the publication of the novel in Spain. César Vallejo at the turn of the 1920s–1930s collaborated with the USSR, and his novel El Tungsteno became one of the key texts of his creative biography, especially its Soviet page. The book reconstructs the history of the writer's work on the text, identifies possible sources of the novel’s idea, and studies the book's reception in Spain, Latin America and the USSR. The novel El Tungsteno is considered in the context of César Vallejo’s literary contacts with the Soviet Union, his activities in Spain, and interaction with publishers. The second part of the book contains reviews of the novel from Latin American, Spanish and Soviet periodicals, as well as prefaces to the Soviet and Ukrainian editions translated into Spanish. The book by C. Fernández and V. Gianuzzi makes a significant contribution to the study of the work of C. Vallejo, to the study of his Soviet literary connections, outlines further trajectories of development of César Vallejo studies and fills many gaps in Latin American literary studies in Latin America, Europe and Russia.

Full textAbstract:
Colombia had the longest internal armed conflict in Latin America, and its government reached a peace agreement with the FARC guerrillas in 2016. This article explores the transitional justice social representations during the signing of the peace agreement (study 1) and their implementation, during 2019-2020 (study 2). The first study analyzes the news related to the institutions created from the peace agreement during 2016. The second study explores different psychosocial variables associated with its two most controversial institutions, the Truth Commission (TC) and the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) during 2019-2020, after the beginning of its work. The findings revealed that news articles from two principal Colombian newspapers illustrate two anchoring categories of transitional justice with an emphasis on victims, while the political position of the newspaper suggests possible disagreements on what peace entails. Surveys showed that political position and victimization are crucial for the approval and support of the TC and the JEP, as well as correlated with the level of media consumption regarding these institutions.

Full textAbstract:
What role do specific geographic, political, and historical contexts play in how gendered identities and practices are mobilized to negotiate larger structures of inequality? Through innovative efforts to come to terms with the very contingent and situated nature of gender formation, four recent books reconfirm the important contributions of gender studies of Latin America to feminist studies in general. These texts apply unique methods of analysis to investigate gender's production in specific places and moments, thus producing new insights into how gender is articulated within particular translocal configurations of power. In particular, these texts ask: How does biography inform social activism against global neoliberal economic adjustments? How do discourses on sex provide the foundation for gendered forms of modern national culture and social control? How do local production strategies engender neoliberal labor in new ways? Through questions like these, the texts push us to consider gender not as a ubiquitous concept that can be taken for granted, but rather as a varied and relational process grounded in distinct material and historical conditions.

Full textAbstract:
This article offers a contemporary reading from Latin America of Discourse on Colonialism, one of Martinican writer and political leader Aimé Césaire’s most important works, which is not well known in the Latin American context, despite the great relevance that his politics have in that region. It is one of the strongest interpellations of colonialism and racism as inherent vectors of capitalism and Western modernity and even could be considered as a precursor to critiques of international development thinking and practices. The article includes a short biography of Césaire, and goes on to address how Discourse offers a non-Eurocentric reading of European history, arguing that Nazism is not an outgrowth of or an exception in European history but the ultimate effect of a civilization that justifies colonization. It then describes Césaire’s post-war aspirations for decolonization as a possible third way forward for Europe, breaking with the binarism of capitalism/communism, and outlines questions involving the tensions in the demands for equality and recognition of differences, which stemmed from his involvement in the departmentalization of Martinique in 1946, and the problems that French universalism caused for this process. Rereading Discourse today, there is a distinct blind spot in its androcentrism, and in Césaire’s ignoring of Black women thinkers who were his contemporaries. However, the text still offers original and creative proposals that subaltern groups in Latin America (racialized groups, women, LGBTQ+) can use to observe elements of reality that colonizers and dominant groups are reluctant to acknowledge.

Full textAbstract:
In this article we address the phenomenon of the spreading female leadership in Latin American politics. Stressing the overall importance of gender studies in geography, we pay special attention to theories and methodological approaches in regional and country studies with the focus on gender issues. Based on the data from international organizations, including the World Bank we discuss the general trends in gender balance in Latin America against the average background of the world and other macro-regions, and then we analyze differences among individual Latin American countries. We compare women’s representation in national parliaments, specifically focusing on the women’s proportion growth rate. Then we discuss individual biography and political course cases of the female presidents of Argentina, Chile, Brazil, and Costa-Rica as those countries can shed more light onto the overall social and political context, in which women take the highest political positions in Latin American region. Those cases demonstrate that women in all four countries have opportunities to develop a full-fledged political career and their ascendance to power is not accidental. The cases of Michelle Bachelet in Chile and Laura Chinchilla in Costa-Rica contradict patrimonial stereotypes common for Latin America’s countries in regard to women in politics being protégés of powerful male politicians. We come to the conclusion that growing women’s representation in national level legislative bodies and presidential posts reveal more profound changes in social structure and values in Latin American societies. In particular, we believe that the culture of “machismo” or masculinity gives way to the changes caused by modernization and shifts in social and economic development of Latin American countries, shifting towards semi-periphery of the world-system.

Full textAbstract:
The text aims to present the broader context and biography of Julius Nestler, an amateur archaeologist from Prague, who at the beginning of the twentieth century pursued excavations in the ruins of Tiahuanaco/Tiwanaku and brought to Prague a unique collection of about 3,600 pieces, now deposited in the Náprstek Museum in Prague. A biographical study of Nestler has revealed his wide interests. During the period of Czech-German competition in Bohemia he promoted “German science”. He cooperated with entrepreneurial groups in Germany that were trying to penetrate Latin America economically, as a Freemason actively capitalised on a transnational community of associates; and at the same time was an adherent to and propagator of occultism. All these facets of his personality shaped his activities in the recently-established field of Americanist archaeology.

Full textAbstract:
The possibility of relating Paulo Freire’s pedagogical theory, especially his work Pedagogy of the oppressed, with Liberation Theology in Latin America, from the category of social worldview, as a concept of a certain tradition of Marxism that runs from Lucien Goldmann to Michael Löwy, is studied. In this proposal, understanding Christian liberation, not only as a social movement but also as a bearer of a given social worldview, allowed to understand Paulo Freire’s work as part of a social group that constitutes a complete and coherent significant totality, with explicit characteristics. The approach of this study had an interdisciplinary character, which associated Philosophy of Education, Sociology and Religious Studies. Inspired by the methodology of the Sociology of Knowledge, it is proposed that Freire’s biography only confirms some elements of his shared ethical-critical options, which can be deepened with subversive potential.

Full textAbstract:
Rev. Fredrik Franson was the founding director of the Scandinavian Alliance Mission (now The Evangelical Alliance Mission, TEAM). The English-speaking world knows very little about the contribution to the global mission of the church by Swedish-born Fredrik Franson. He was a product of the spiritual revivals in nineteenth-century Scandinavia. Franson was a world evangelist, recruiter, teacher, and trainer of missionaries to Asia, Africa, and Latin America. He collaborated with Hudson Taylor and A. B. Simpson in sending missionaries to inland China. Franson founded sixteen mission agencies and church denominations in six nations during his ministry of 33 years. Scores of missionaries were motivated to missionary service by Fredrik Franson's incredible ministry. In this article H. Wilbert Norton uses the 858-page definitive biography, A Study of Fredrick Franson, by Edvard Paul Torjesen, to sketch a portrait of Franson's life and work.

Full textAbstract:
The article is dedicated to the history of the interaction of the Peruvian poet, writer, essayist and public figure César Vallejo with the Soviet Union, mainly after his three trips there in 1928, 1929 and 1931. Relying on the materials of the Russian archives RGALI and RGASPI, the creative and publishing plans of the writer are reconstructed. Vallejo repeatedly made attempts to return to the USSR, publish his reports and books in Russian, stage his plays Lock-out (1930) and Presidents of America (1934) on the Soviet stage. The correspondence with International Union of Revolutionary Writers (IURW) in 1933–1935 was not productive: Vallejo's Moscow correspondent F.V. Kelin did not answer the writer regularly and did not explain the reasons for his silence. The article contains fragments of diary entries by F.V. Kelin and his reports to the IURW, which indicate that the figure of Vallejo in the USSR was considered in the context of the author's social activities in Spain and work in the Union of Revolutionary Writers of Spain. Soviet literary functionaries tried to instruct the writer, expected active cooperation with the IURW, which for various reasons Vallejo could not carry out. Despite the irregular interaction, the Soviet episodes of the writer's work have become very important components of his creative biography, and his literary ties with Soviet Russia are a unique example of the cooperation of a Latin American poet with the literary institutions of the USSR in the late 1920s and early 1930s — at the stage of emergence and consolidation of contacts with writers of leftist views in Spain and Latin America. The appendix contains letters from C. Vallejo to F.V. Kelin, as well as a letter from the IURW to Vallejo (1931) and a memorandum from F. Kelin to the IURW (1931).

Full textAbstract:
The outstanding contemporary artist Fernando Botero Angulo (b. 1932) is one of the leading artists of the postmodern era, thanks to the paraphrasing and irony of his works. He is also known as a graphic artist and a sculptor. Botero’s graphic and pictorial works are kept in many museums around the world, including the Russian ones — the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg and the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow; his sculptures adorn the cities of Europe, America, Asia. This article focuses on the artist’s painting: it gives an idea of him as a master who reflected universality and at the same time national identity of his country through landscape, still life, bullfighting, dancing. Several parts of the article are devoted to: «Biography and “circular form”», «Secular and religious images», «Landscape, interior, still life», «Bullfighting, music, dancing». A significant place is given to the «circular form», since it made the artist a unique creator, who used it in many great works of art, and then created images recognizable by everyone who has ever seen Botero’s paintings. There are various genres of the master’s works, in which he acts not only as a creator of a unique form, but also as a brilliant colorist. Botero managed to raise Latin America to a high pedestal; starting from the pan-European tradition, he showed the universal through his native Colombia.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this text is to explore the main ideas and issues in the theory surrounding testimonial literature, and to analyze the discussions that brought the genre to a close; these discussions did not take into account the fact that the theoretical-methodological crisis affected the field of testimonial studies but did not affect the creation of new testimonies. Hence, the theory of testimonial literature in Latin America emerged from two works (Biography of a Runaway Slave and I, Rigoberta Menchú), is based on the Marxist concept of class struggle, and acknowledges only one type. Testimonies that do not fit this model have lost importance or been ignored. Although testimonial studies have entered a crisis, new testimonies continue to be produced. Finally, we posit the need to rekindle the debate based on different corpora and other categories of analysis.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. Mental health services have been a focus of human rights advocates and recent legal reforms in some Latin American countries, which have called for a change from the paradigm of hospitalization to one of accompanying and supporting the person with mental health issues, which make it possible to apply the Advance Directives in Psychiatry (PADs). This change will require time, as well as economic, material, and human resources, and transformations in attitudes, culture, and society, but the implementation of PADs cannot be postponed: they must be used to protect the autonomy of the persons affected, within a bioethical framework. Objective. Identify possible bioethical conditions in the prevailing conventional hospital context in Latin America that allow for an implementation of PADs. Method. A participant-observer study was carried out in two psychiatric hospital services from June to September 2022. Results. A thematic analysis found three themes: 1) clinical care, 2) patient predisposition, and 3) medical-legal questions. This study considered part of theme 2, including the following sub-themes: a) patient self-perception, b) biography/narrative versus diagnostic classification, and c) negotiation. Discussion and conclusion. Prominent among the sub-themes discussed are recognition of the values of autonomy and its elements in all of the expressions of the person with mental illness, as well as actions of the physician or health care team in synergy with supported decision-making, a distinctive feature of the anticipatory process of the PAD.

Full textAbstract:
We tend to give less attention to the process of assembling things when analysing their social life or biography. There is a preconception of things being relatively stable, fixed and inert entities. In this paper, I suggest exploring the ordinary life of things, accounting for the interweaving of the human life with nonhuman materials. The mutual becomings of various entities, both humans and nonhumans, create assemblages that emerge from the interaction between their parts. Assembling things works to conceptualize how mutual entanglements create new possible worldings among a contemporary indigenous group in low land Latin-America. Ethnographically I trace the production process of hammocks and other types of items among the Warao of the Orinoco Delta, Venezuela, and how it entangles different ‘others’ like traders, tourists, missionaries and anthropologists and how these encounters affect the process of assembling things. Assembling things draws attention to how heterogenic component parts construe temporary but stable configurations that partake in people's worldmaking efforts. I use ethnography from the Warao and how their crafts, especially hammocks, become differently as they entangle various assemblages. I investigate three fields of assemblages in order to discern how the human/nonhuman entanglements unfold, namely household, market and museum.

El tránsito desde el imperio americano de la monarquía hispánica a nación liberal se analiza a través de la dilatada biografía pública de Narciso Heredia, conde de Ofalia, entre 1801 y 1841. Caracterizado como “realista moderado”, partidario de reformas administrativas y de la preservación de la integridad del Imperio, Ofalia terminó adaptándose al tránsito hacia la monarquía parlamentaria, aceptando finalmente la emancipación de Iberoamérica. A pesar de su protagonismo durante la década absolutista y el régimen del Estatuto Real, no encabezó más que brevemente el Consejo de Ministros en 1824 y 1837-1838. Enfrentó también el expansionismo de Estados Unidos durante las primeras décadas del siglo XIX. This article analyses the transition from the Spanish monarchy’s American empire to a liberal nation by way of the extensive public biography of Narciso Heredia, Count of Ofalia, between 1801 and 1841. Characterized as a “moderate realist”, a supporter of administrative reforms and the preservation of the integrity of the Empire, Ofalia eventually adapted to the transition towards parliamentary monarchy, finally accepting the emancipation of Latin America. Despite his prominence during Ferdinand VII’s decade of absolutism and the regime of the Royal Statute that followed, he only briefly headed the Council of Ministers in 1824 and 1837–1838. He also confronted the expansionism of the United States during the early decades of the 19th century.

Full textAbstract:
When in October 2016 I started working on my book Jorge Mario Bergoglio. An intellectual biography I did not have the slightest idea of the importance played by the figure and work of Gaston Fessard in the formation of Bergoglio’s thought. There was nothing to suggest that Gaston Fessard could be a relevant author for the intellectual formation of the future Pope. I was struck by the polar and dialectical model of thought that animated him, the possibility of harmonizing opposites, of inviting concepts to a common table that apparently could not be approached, because it places them in a higher plane in which they find their synthesis. This paradigm, of the Church and of the Society of Jesus as complexio oppositorum, finds its verification, according to Bergoglio, in the way in which the Jesuits have achieved the inculturation of the faith in the indigenous peoples of Latin America. Bergoglio rereads Ignatius in the light of a dialectical model. As he will say in one of the interviews he gave me on the occasion of the writing of my book: “In Ignatian spirituality there is always this bipolar tension”. It is certainly an original, uncommon reading of Ignatius’s thought. It is the ideal factor that allows us to explain why Bergoglio, when in 1986 he went to Frankfurt to write his doctoral thesis, chose the Guardinian essay dedicated to the polar opposition. When I concluded my volume on the intellectual biography of the future Pontiff in February 2017, one element, however, remained obscure. Where, from which author had Bergoglio drawn his polar model? Where did your antinomic reading of Ignatian spirituality come from? Not by Guardini discovered philosophically in 1986. Francis indicated the starting point of his intellectual formation. The reading of Fessard’s La dialectique des Exercices spirituels de saint Ignace de Loyola, published in 1956, is the work that “ had a great influence “ on him. It is the work that clarifies Bergoglio’s antinomian thought, his subsequent ideal encounter with Guardini’s philosophy.

Este diagnóstico situacional, enmarcado dentro de la metodología de la revisión bibliográfica, nace como parte del programa Latinoamericano de Doctorado en Educación de la Universidad de Costa Rica. En este documento se analiza dentro de un contexto sociocultural e histórico el proceso de desarrollo que ha vivido la formación docente en la región Latinoamérica, desde el inicio de los procesos independentistas en el siglo XIX, por medio de las escuelas normales, hasta la profesionalización de los maestros en el plano del nivel terciario a través de universidades e institutos pedagógicos, a mediados del siglo XX y que continúan en nuestros días. Mucha de la preocupación que se presenta en el análisis de los diferentes contextos se relaciona con la mejora de las condiciones en las que se da la formación docente. Se han implementado cambios buscando que el desempeño docente siempre esté en sintonía con los desarrollos globales característicos de las sociedades en constante auge de crecimiento. Estos cambios en el contexto sociocultural e histórico han demandado los continuos replanteamientos que influyen notoriamente en el análisis de los procesos de formación de docentes. Si bien se utiliza el marco de referencia latinoamericano, este estudio se centra en la situación que ha vivido y vive hoy en día Honduras en este tema, al tiempo que analiza los efectos socioculturales e históricos que han generado los cambios sufridos en los procesos de formación de docentes. Para la realización de esta investigación se plantea la pregunta de investigación: ¿Cómo ha sido el proceso de la formación de docentes en Honduras desde las escuelas normales hasta el nivel terciario de la educación? La estructura del documento sigue las etapas de realización e incluye una Introducción, un análisis histórico de los procesos de formación docente en América Latina, un desarrollo y las conclusiones respectivas.Palabras clave: formación Inicial, Formación docente, escuelas normales, reformas educativas, profesionalización docente, América Latina.AbstractThis situational analysis, framed within the methodology of the literature review, is part of the curriculum of the Latin American Doctoral Program in Education at the University of Costa Rica.

Full textAbstract:
The recent “Participatory Turn” in Urbanism has flourished most significantly in situations of economic turmoil, material scarcity and technical insufficiency: those circumstances have boosted creative and audacious urban processes that take advantage of such limitations as an opportunity to enhance social engagement, formal exploration and developmental experimentation. All across Europe or Latin America, multidisciplinary collectives aim to reinvent the socioeconomical conditions for urban design and construction, favoring the architectural Process rather than the Object.Experiences in Urban Acupuncture, bottom-up urbanism, activism for the public space and the claim for neighborly ties are often struggling against Top-Down urban planning and the modern articulation of the zoned city: according to some of these collectives, the Welfare State and its urban culture has been overtaken by capitalism, and the classical Ville Radieuse model has somehow become synonymous with Corporatocracy and social engineering.In this sociopolitical milieu , some of the mid twentieth century arguments against the Modern Movement have emerged again. Many scholars have linked the Occupy and Indignados movements with the events of May 68, and the urban guerrillas within both periods have been strongly biased towards a radical reformulation of the Structuralist urban parameters: in order to re-humanize the city, urban planning must give way to spontaneity, autopoiesis, dynamism and horizontal decision-making. The city is not considered a ready made object designed from scratch, but an always-evolving living entity, where perennial mutation and reconfiguration is the at the key feature. The City is a rhizome rather than a tree.The Situationist utopia of the New Babylon (as conceived by Constant Nieuwenhuys) revives as the core intellectual reference of many Participatory Urbanism experiences. Psycho-geography, détournement, the urban dweller as a homo ludens, and the harmonization of life and work are presented as the shield against the alienation, social segregation and gentrification inherent to the capitalist city and its planning instruments. The Situationist model is now enhanced with ideas of sustainability, social responsibility, gender claims, global migrations and ecology, depicting a contemporary Utopia that collapses the boundary between planners and dwellers.In this paper we´ll trace the influence of the Situationist ethos upon recent experiences in participatory urbanism: the impact of mid-twentieth century radical activism upon contemporary counter-cultural urban praxis, a trend that is pushing the Academia to reconsider its ethical foundations and methodological tools, and ultimately to reformulate the consensual ontology of the city inherited from the early Modern Movement.

ResumenMucho se ha escrito y publicado recientemente sobre Antonio Bonet Castellana y su primacía por la modulación de los sistemas constructivos a comienzos de la década de los cincuenta. Pero en ninguno de los casos se ha desvelado en profundidad, una constante que se repite con la obra del arquitecto catalán, el contexto cultural e intelectual que nutrió dicha búsqueda. Esto es, profundizar en las circunstancias que acontecieron en su primer viaje a Europa diez años después de su estancia en Latinoamérica, en Argentina y Uruguay; un reencuentro con quienes fueran sus maestros, especialmente J.L.Sert y Le Corbusier, en el CIAM VII celebrado en Bérgamo en julio de 1949. Una relación a la que no se le ha prestado suficiente atención hasta la fecha, y que aborda luz no sólo en la biografía particular de Bonet sino también contribuye en el constructo moderno argentino de mediados de s.XX.AbstractMuch has been written and published recently about Antonio Bonet Castellana and his preference for the modulation of the constructive systems in the 50s. However, none of these publications has achieved to reveal accurately the cultural and intellectual context which nourished Sr Antonio´s search. The aim of this publication is to show which events occurred during his first travel to Europe, right after his experiences in Latin America, more precisely in Argentina and Uruguay; events such as the reencounter with his mentors, specially J.L. Sert and Le Corbusier, in the CIAM VII hold in Bergamo, in July 1949. As simple as it may seem it has not been analyzed thoroughly up to date and it brightens not only the biography of Bonet himself but also helps understand the Argentine constructions in the middle of the twentieth century.

Full textAbstract:
The popularity of Isabel Flores de Oliva, commonly known as Saint Rose of Lima, in the Latin America iconosphere has endured since the 17th century and is still spectacular. Images of this Third Order of St. Dominic member proliferated soon after her demise (1617), not only in the New World, but also in Europe, multiplied in countless cheap copies. Nevertheless, her person also inspired renowned artists as famous as Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, sevillian Juan de Valdes Leal or cordoban Antonio Palomino. Even before canonisation (1671), the fame of the Peruvian ascetic reached the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, due to the efforts of the Order of Preachers, i.a. Tomasz Tomicki O.P., who translated into Polish the Latin biography of Isabel Flores de Oliva written by Leonard Hansen O.P. Tomicki’s book, which was printed in Cracow in 1666, contains the first known Polish image of the future saint. The year of canonisation is also a date of establishing first devotional paintings for Dominican churches in the major cities of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. An oil painting attributed to Tomasz Muszyński in Warsaw St. Hyacinth’s Church presents St. Rose among other Dominicans active in the New World: Martin de Porres, John Macías and Vicente Bernedo. Paintings for an altar in St. Nicholas church in Gdańsk (“Saint Rose with the Child Jesus” and “The Vision of Saint Rose”) were made by Andreas Stech, a popular artist active in this city. Apart from that, we know quite a numerous range of anonymous devotional images of St. Rose of Lima – or at least pieces passing for her images. “The Catalogues of Art Monuments in Poland” – an inventory published by the Polish Academy of Science Institute of Art – enumerate over a dozen paintings and sculptures devoted to the ascetic from Peru, which can be found in various places within the present borders of Poland: i.a. Brześć Kujawski, Hrubieszów, Klimontów, Kraków, Kraśnik, Mokobody, Markowice, Niwiski, Piaski, Sandomierz, Staszów, Turobin, Zaręby Kościelne. However, not all art historians agree with such recognition; there are arguments that in some cases we are faced with images of St. Catherine of Siena rather than St. Rose. In spite of these doubts, it is proved that Isabel Flores de Oliva gained her own place in the iconography of Polish Dominicans and played a significant role in their efforts to promote certain forms of spirituality.

Desde sua chegada ao Brasil, em 1964, ela tem-se dedicado à teologia e à pastoral litúrgica. O presente estudo consta de duas partes: a primeira se ocupa de uma breve biografia de Ione Buyst; a segunda, de sua teologia litúrgica. Aqui, em grandes linhas, serão destacadas a importância dessa teóloga liturgista em sua incansável busca por uma ciência litúrgica para o Brasil e América Latina. Nessa abordagem, serão tecidas algumas considerações relacionadas ao âmbito metodológico desenvolvido por ela, ou seja, a implementação de uma ciência litúrgica que se apreende a partir da experiência/vivência ritual. Abstract: In view of the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the “Constitution for the Sacred Liturgy Sacrosanctum Concilium” and the recently published “Apostolic Letter Desiderio Desideravi on the liturgical formation of the people of God”, by Pope Francis, the text presents some notes on the life and work of the renowned liturgical theologian Ione Buyst. Since her arrival in Brazil in 1964, she has dedicated herself to theology and liturgical pastoral care. This study consists of two parts: the first will deal with a brief biography of Ione Buyst; the second, intends to offer considerations about her liturgical theology. In broad terms, the importance of this liturgical theologian in her tireless search for a liturgical science for Brazil and Latin America will be highlighted. In this approach, some considerations will be made related to the methodological scope developed by her, i.e., the implementation of a liturgical science that is learned from ritual experience.

Ahisheva, Kseniia. "Three Preludes for piano by G. Gershwin in the context of the composer’s instrumental creativity." Aspects of Historical Musicology 19, no. 19 (February 7, 2020): 449–65. http://dx.doi.org/10.34064/khnum2-19.26.
Full textAbstract:
Background. George Gershwin is often considered as a composer who wrote mainly songs and musicals, but this is a misconception: beside the pieces of so-called “light” genres, among the composer’ works – two operas, as well as a number of outstanding instrumental compositions (“Cuban Overture” for a symphony orchestra, two Rhapsodies, Variations for piano and orchestra and Piano Concerto etc.). Gershwin had a natural pianistic talent, and there was almost not a single piece of his own that he did not perform on the piano, and most of them were born in improvisation (Ewen, 1989). The basis for the creation of this study was the desire to increase interest in the work of Gershwin as a “serious” composer and to draw the attention of domestic academic pianists to the value of his piano works, presented not only the “Rhapsody in Blue”, which has been mostly played lately. The purpose of our research is to prove the relevance of the performance of Gershwin’s instrumental works in the academic concert environment as the music of the classical tradition, tracing the formation of specific features of the composer’s instrumental creativity and their reflection in the cycle of “Three Preludes for Piano” in 1926. Studies of the life and work of G. Gershwin, illuminating a special path in music and the unusual genius of an outstanding musician, were created mainly in the 50–70s of the XX century. D. Ewen – the author of the most detailed biography of the composer (first published in 1956, the Russian translation – in 1989) – was personally acquainted with the great musician and his family, took numerous interviews from the composer’s relatives, friends and teachers, had access to his archives (Ewen, 1989: 3–4). The author of the book enters into the details of the life and creative work of the genius and creates a portrait of the composer as a person “in relationships” – as a son, brother, friend. A separate chapter devoted to the music of Gershwin is in the fundamental work of V. Konen (1965) “The Ways of American Music”, an extremely useful study of the folklore origins and musical foundations of jazz. Cognitive is the “popular monograph” by V. Volynskiy (1988) about Gershwin, carefully structured chronologically and thematically. The Internet-pages of A. Tikhomirov (2006–2020) on the resource “Classic Music News.ru” are also very valuable, in particular, thanks to retrospective photographs and audio recordings posted there. From the point of view we have chosen, the piano Preludes by G. Gershwin have not yet been considered by domestic researchers. Research methodology is based on comparative analysis and then synthesizing, generalization and abstraction when using data from biographical literature, and tested musicological approaches when considering musical samples and audio recordings of various versions of the Preludes (including the author’s playing). The results of reseaching. G. Gershwin, despite his Jewish-Slavic family roots (his parents emigrated to America from the Russian Empire at the end of the 19th century), is undoubtedly a representative of American culture. Outstanding artists have almost always turned to the folklore of their country. In Gershwin, this trait manifested itself in a special way, since American folklore, due to historical and political circumstances, is a very motley phenomenon. Indian, English, German, French, Jewish, African, Latin American melodies surrounded Gershwin everywhere. Their rhythms and intonations, compositional schemes were melted, transformed in professional music (Konen, 1965: 231–246). The first musical teacher of Gershwin was the sound atmosphere of New York streets. This is the main reason that the style of his musical works is inextricably linked with jazz: Gershwin did not encounter this purely American phenomenon, he grew up in it. Among the numerous other teachers of Gershwin who significantly influenced on the formation of his music style, one should definitely name the pianist and composer Charles Hambitzer, who introduced his student to the music of Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Debussy, Ravel (Ewen, 1989: 30–32). The most part of Gershwin’s creativity consisted of working on musicals, a typically American genre. The work with the musicals gave the composer the basis for writing his first jazz opera “Blue Monday“, 1922 (other name – “135th Street”), which became the predecessor of the famous pearl of the new genre, “Porgy and Bess” (1935). Following the production of “Blue Monday”, Gershwin began collaborating with the Paul Whiteman Orchestra, who was impressed by the piece. On the initiative of the latter, Gershwin created his masterpiece, “Rhapsody in Blue” (1924), which still remains a unique musical phenomenon, since the composer brought jazz to the big stage, giving it the status of professional music (Ewen, 1989: 79–85; Volynskiy, 1988: part 4). V. Konen (1965: 264–265) believes that Gershwin is a representative of symphonic Europeanized jazz, since he uses it in musical forms and genres of the European tradition. However, we cannot agree that Gershwin “used” jazz. For him, jazz was organic, inseparable from the author’s style, and this is what makes his music so attractive to representatives of both classical and pop traditions. For Gershwin, due to life circumstances, turning to jazz is not an attempt at stylization, but a natural way of expression. “Three Preludes for Piano” are significant in the composer’s work, because it is the only known concertо work for solo piano published during his lifetime. At first, Gershwin planned to create a cycle of 24 Preludes, but only seven were created in the manuscript, then the author reduced the number of works to five. A year after the creation of the Piano Concerto, in 1926, Gershwin presented this new opus. The pieces performed by the author himself sound impeccably technically and even austerely-strictly (audio recording has been preserved, see ‘Gershvin plays Gershvin 3 Preludes’, video on You Tube, published on 2 Aug. 2011). It can be noted that Gershwin is close to the European pianistic style with its attention to the accuracy of each note. The cycle is built on the principle of contrasting comparison: the first and third Preludes are performed at a fast pace, the second – at a slow pace (blues-like). The analysis of the cycle, carried out by the author of the article, proves that “Three Preludes” for piano reflect the main features of Gershwin’s creative manner: capriciousness of syncopated rhythms, subtle modulation play, improvisational development. Breathing breadth, volumetric texture, effective highlighting of climaxes bring the cycle closer to the composer’s symphonic works. Jazz themes are laid out at a high professional level, using traditional European notation and terminology. Thus, although Gershwin was a brilliant improviser, he made it possible for both jazz pianists and academic performers to master his works. Conclusions. The peculiarities of Gershwin’s development as an artist determined the combination of the jazz basis of his works with the compositional technique of European academic music. The versatility and musical appeal of the Preludes are the key to their long stage life. Plays are well received both in cycles and singly. Their perception is also improved by the fact that the original musical speech is combined in them with the established forms of academic music. The mastery of the Preludes by pianists stimulates the development of technical skill, acquaints with jazz style, sets interesting rhythmic problems. The pieces are bright and winning for concert performance. Thus, the presence of the composer’s piano pieces and other his instrumental works in the programs of classical concerts seems appropriate, useful and desirable.

Full textAbstract:
The last two decades have witnessed an impressive expansion in the analysis of the causes, dynamics and legacies of internal armed conflicts. However, two relevant limitations persist. First, standard conflict datasets suffer from selection bias. And second, most available data lack a temporal approach that facilitates the analysis of insurgent lifecycles from the inception until the demobilization of non-state armed groups. To partially fill this gap, this article presents a novel dataset on revolutionary socialist insurgencies that were created in Latin America (LA) between 1950 and 2016. The Latin American Guerrillas Dataset (LAGD) covers the actions of 90 guerrilla organizations in 19 countries in the region, including annual level data on a variety of variables, such as level of success, political wings, rebel diplomacy, rebel governance, or number of combatants, among others. The LAGD represents one of the first systematic efforts for collecting comparative evidence on insurgencies operating in LA and should facilitate rigorous analyses on the divergent pathways of armed groups from a processual perspective, while dealing with extant issues of selection bias.

Full textAbstract:
This Afterword considers the articles in this special issue of Radical Americas. Reflecting on how a biographical lens can illuminate the past, it draws out some of the key findings of the special issue articles and interrogates their significance for understanding militancy in Latin America in the late twentieth century. Specifically, it explores what life histories can tell us about space and scale, and the opportunities and the costs of militancy during the Cold War in Latin America. It contends that there is more to learn and gain from thinking through a biographical lens going forward.

Che, morethan anyone, including Fidel, guided the transformation of the rag-tag band that survived the Granma landing at Playa las Coloradas and the subsequent massacre at Alegría del Pío in late November 1956, into "the most accomplished guerrilla army in 20th century Latin America." It was Che who led the guerrillas' victorious two-year campaign against 40,000 U.S.-equipped troops supported by formidable air and naval power.
