Objective/Context: This text sets out a succinct overview of the sweep of the history of emotions and sentiments, from the decisive steps taken by Peter N. Stearns and Carol Z. Stearns in the 1980s up to some of the essential contributions made to the field by numerous academics from Latin America in subsequent moments. The fundamental goal of this exercise is to provide context for the contributions of the articles included in the current issue of Historia Crítica. Methodology: I will point out the main methods and approaches of numerous papers about the history of emotions and sentiments produced in North America and Europe. At the same time, I will inquire about the attention this field has received in Latin American historiography and present the articles of the dossier. Originality: The text condenses and compares a substantial set of historical viewpoints about emotions and sentiments, the pathways it opens to widening historical explanations and invites exploring them from Latinamerican historiography. Conclusions: The articles collected in this issue suggest the importance of continuing to move forward in the study of the history of emotions and sentiments in Latin America, given the authors of these texts prove that the weight of regimes and the signification of emotional experiences matter in the spectrum of causalities, in the decisions, and the agency of individuals and groups, in the formation of political loyalties, in power contests, in revolutions, and wars, in the representations of order and the manners in which to subvert it, but also in the elucidation of the deepest creases of the lives, feelings, and words of the societies of the past.

The article presents the development of an idea: American continental unity as an object of study in Latin American intellectual history of the twentieth century. To achieve this, the article is organized in three stages: the idealist, which starts with José Enrique Rodó; the confrontation between Pan-Americanism and Americanism, which rises from the opposition against imperialism and the revindication of mixed heritages (mestizaje); and the confrontation between policies to implement development and revindicate continental unity driven by the Cuban Revolution. The paper emphasizes that gray area that emerges today, marked by an open questioning of national unity as a paradigm; in other words, the paper sets forth a question regarding the political and intellectual relevance of a topic.

This paper studies a series of practices and experiences taken from massive regional infrastructure projects sponsored by the IDB (Inter-American Development Bank). In an effort to contextualize the idea of a megaproject, it describes what one is, demonstrates its importance to the community where one is built, and investigates the relationship between the community and the megaproject itself. In addition, the paper takes a deep look at regional experiences, the training required to execute large projects, and other associated needs. Furthermore, insight is given on key elements of project preparation, types of organic changes that take place in project execution, and how these changes can be anticipated. Lastly, a few brief case studies of regional experiences are given to emphasize various lessons learned. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper--part of a major research which has as objective the philosophy of legal colonialism in Latin America--is dedicated to examine the relationship between indigenism, revolutionary democracy, and counter-constitutional discourse, within the contemporary age in the Latin American context. Our main source is fictional literature, for it is an important constituent of the external legal culture. But it also takes account of the recent constitutional reforms in Bolivia and Ecuador. The methodology is exploratory and it has a critical point of view of the primary and secondary sources. For the reasons explained above, the results are partial, though they are essential to define the legal colonialism and to describe the challenges they expounded to Latin America legal culture.

The regionalization process in Colombia has several similarities with the process of regionalization in France. Based on a comparative study, the paper presents the development of the process, taking into account the origins from the colonial time, the constitutional reforms up to the LOOT. In each step, I analyze the influence of the revolutionary and Napoleonic model and the current status of the regions in France. It ends with a conclusion which remarks the long path we have yet to go through before we accomplish the real purpose of the regions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
