Indigenous Experiences In Agricultural Production In Ecuador: Sustaining And Ancient Cultural Tradition Of Growing And Consuming Quinoa, Sumac Elisa Cárdenas Oleas

Elisa Cardenas

Colonialization’s racism and discrimination in Latin America have pushed many indigenous populations to poverty in isolated rural areas with limited access to resources, education, and technology, particularly as relates to agriculture, their main source of income and employment. Governments and development organizations recognize agriculture as a key channel for developmental growth in rural areas. Fundamyf, a non-governmental organization, has focused on promoting agricultural growth to increase the quality of life of small-scale indigenous producers through the production, consumption, and sale of quinoa. While quinoa is an ancient crop traditionally consumed and produced by indigenous populations in the Andes of South …

“La Modernización Y Sus Fantasmas: Violencia, Exceso Y Ritual En ‘La Gata De Mi Madre’ De Carlos Fuentes, Jose J. Alvarez

Jose Alvarez

Carlos Fuentes ha observado que la literatura mexicana entr6 en un acelerado proceso de renovaci6n durante la decada de los 50. La publicaci6n de El laberinto de la soledad de Octavio Paz marca-afirmaba Fuentes en 1971-el salto de la literatura mexicana mas alla de sus fronteras geograficas (Tiempo 85-6). Pero este novelista no es solo un te6rico de dichos cambios, sino tambien, uno de sus mas conspicuos artifices. Aludiendo a su rol en dicho proceso, Georgina Garcia-Gutierrez afirma que "en 1958, [Fuentes] y su primera novela [La region mds transparente] inauguraron una epoca literaria identificada con la modernidad ... la …

Towards Respecting Indigenous Rights In Development Policy: The Case Of A Community-Based Forest Management Project In Panama, Benjamin Goodman

Benjamin Goodman

As Latin American countries reach new heights of development, perched on the shoulders of an increasingly globalized economy, their local indigenous communities continue to be the most marginalized and impoverished people in the world. Sustainable development initiatives present themselves as a way to contribute to global economic development, while at the same time, respecting the livelihoods of rural peoples and preserving natural resources for future generations. However, unsustainable exploitation of natural resources continues to threaten the livelihoods and identities of many rural indigenous communities. As the economic, legal and political marginalization of indigenous peoples persists, the inevitable result of these …

Epigrafía Del Apócrifo. Revisión Del Juicio Colonial, Carlos M. López

Carlos M. López

The location of Latin-American pre-colonial era texts in a World-taxonomy of art is very problematic from the perspective of Western axiology. The concept of ‘literature’ was defined at the end of the 18th century by thinkers of the Enlightenment, particularly by Herder, Lessing, Kant and Hegel. They invented the paradigm that established the standard that written printed text, especially those on phonetic systems, are the highest expression of human spirit. According to this paradigm Europe, and particularly Prussia, were the ones to have reached the summit of History; ergo, European written-printed texts were defined as the true ‘literature’. On the …

The Country Bleeds With A Laugh: Social Criticism Meets Horror Genre In José Mojica Marins’S “At Midnight I’Ll Take Your Soul (1963)”, Diana Anselmo-Sequeira

Diana Anselmo-Sequeira

Focused on Brazil’s first horror film, José Mojica Marins’s low-budget production "À Meia-Noite Levarei Sua Alma" (1963), this paper explores how Marins, a marginalized Cinema Novo director, used classical horror conventions as tools for political critique. An analysis of this cinematic landmark reveals that Marins’s homegrown horror intersected with Cinema Novo’s main themes, such as cannibalism, class asymmetries, Hollywood’s influence, rightwing censorship, and national identity. Poignantly self-aware, I argue that this campy horror film in fact worked through seminal tensions besieging Brazilian culture throughout the violent dictatorship years (1964-1985), namely the conflicts between urban and rural spaces, intellectuals and illiterates, …

Understanding Imf Stand-By Arrangements From The Perspective Of International And Domestic Law: The Experience Of Venezuela In The 1990s, Gabriel Garcia

Dr Gabriel Garcia

During the 1990s, international financial institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) promoted the so-called 'Washington Consensus'. One of the premises of the consensus was that developing countries needed to embrace a market economy and build a legal system supportive of the rule of law in order to promote progress and defeat poverty. The onset of financial crises across South America and the inability of governments to deal with problems derived from this financial meltdown provided the proitious conditions for the IMF to implement its agenda of promoting a market economy and the rule of …
