This paper proposes the idea that the Peruvian mestizo historian and first American intellectual, El Inca Garcilaso de la Vega (1539-1616), can be characterized as a political thinker and, in order to grasp the specificity and importance of El Inca Garcilaso's contributions to political thought, his masterpiece, the Comentarios Reales (1609-1617), must be explored through both the European and indigenous Andean contexts from which it emerges. The Comentarios Reales inaugurates a dual and heterogeneous mode of colonial discourse constructed from European and indigenous resources which forwards mutliculturism and intercultural education as the key to social harmony and political reform in colonial Peru. El Inca Garcilaso uses indigenous political concepts as well as European discourse to both justify and criticize the Spanish conquest, at he same time that he initiates an insurrectionary and revolutionary discourse against the Spanish viceroyalty in the service of an independent Peruvian mestizo polity. The paper also discusses El Inca Garcilaso's recommendations for political reform, particularly how he assesses Jesuit missionary practices in order to urge his diverse Peruvian compatriots to pursue social transformation through intercultural education. Finally, the paper argues that the ideas present in the Comentarios are relevant to the current socio-political situation in the Andean countries and could be employed as a means of resolving many of the conflicts that have prevented development in the region.

This paper considers the notion of "gambiarra", a feature of Brazilian and Latin American culture, as a literary element in two short stories of the Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano. In this sense, some theoretical-critical approaches will be proposed for possible meanings to "gambiarra," not only as a materially objectified element, but also as a process, an action and a production method. I present as hypotheses some of the socio-historical determinations that enable "gambiarra" as a social phenomenon as well as its categorization as a concrete expression of a certain ontological human tendency. The analysis of the short stories, after brief considerations about the author and his work, seeks to understand how the articulation of the "gambiarra" manifests itself in the narratives, allowing also dialectical glimpses about its social dynamics.

This paper analyzes the press control practices used by the provincial political powers of Entre Ríos between 1862 and 1870. This period was characterized by an increasing political dispute and the deepening of public debate. An indication of this process is the increase in the number of newspapers and the diversity of their political positions. Most of the newspapers were Federalists and supporters of Urquiza, but they maintained a space of discursive autonomy and what was published did not always go along the lines of the caudillo's interest. Also, there were Unitary and dissident Federal newspapers which were very critical of the provincial government and the figure of Urquiza. Respect for press freedom as a legitimating principle of the exercise of power prevented the development of legislation restricting that freedom and discouraged the practice of filing law suits for libel against publishers or journalist among provincial officials. Hence, the way in which political power managed to limit opinion was dominated by informal practices of political control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Using data from the SAHWA Youth Survey 2016 (2017), this paper presents a study of the degree and types of political and religious participation - as well as the links that connect one to the other - among the youth of five Arab Mediterranean countries (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt and Lebanon). In politics, four types of participation are distinguished: official, everyday, community and protest. Between 5% and 17% of those surveyed could be considered hyperactivists, in that they participate in three or four of these types; in around a third, there was no participation at all. On the other hand, the majority of the young people considered themselves to be highly religious and, in three of the countries, a third attended the mosque at least three times a week. But the levels of religiosity did not influence political participation, as even the majority of the highly religious supported separating politics from religion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the case of Latin America, discussions of this kind on the political economy of academic research soon acquire a linguistic connotation. Many Latin American scholars regard English as a colonial or neocolonial language engaged in a permanent struggle with Spanish. This is an interesting point because in Latin America Spanish is itself a „„colonial" language that for more than 500 years has dominated a host of indigenous languages. In this paper discussion is rendered more complicated by the fact that those fostering progressive political aims have reverted to the nineteenthcentury ultranationalist view of English and Anglo-Saxon culture as a directthreat totheir (superior)Hispanicculture.

This paper presents a critical analysis of the last 250 years of Cuban political history, from a perspective of its integration in the Spanish Caribbean. We discuss how the traditional Cuban political and ideological intolerance has contributed to the creation of an inefficient model of regime succession that has taken the country to its current stage. We present and examine several national and international conditions that we believe are necessary to achieve a peaceful transition toward an open and pluralistic system. We analyze and compare the transitions in Brazil, Mexico and Spain. And we draw several conclusions that may be applicable to the Cuban case. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The establishment of the Brazilian republic triggered political agents within the religious sphere to analyze the 1891 Constitution. The Protestant political insertion increased and one may trace the catalyzing elements of its political activities, even though most segments kept aloof from politics. They merely manifested themselves when religious issues on religious freedom were involved. The 1950 political context brought to the fore new concerns on the religious polarization. Foregrounded on the conflict theory of Lewis Coser, current paper discusses the construction of these two subjects that heralded the social and religious projects of the republican period.

This paper analyses the articles written by Enrique Pichon-Rivière and Ana Pampliega de Quiroga for the magazine Primera Plana, between 1966 and 1967. We have specially focused on the articles that try to situate the subjective effects of socio-economic and cultural modernization of the moment. In this regard, we have been interested in showing that these writings reflect the tension of a time in which the traditional ways of living and thinking coexisted with discourses and practices that questioned them. Furthermore, and considering the political situation of the moment in which these works were published, we went through some articles on this topic. We notice a stand in favour of the validity of the democratic system. This standpoint confronted with the media campaign led by the magazine itself, which sought to create the necessary consensus for the military coup of June 1966. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A central element in Michel Foucault' s thought is the complex relationship between history and politics. On earlier works as The Archeology of knowledge Foucault highlights the "espistemologicall mutation" which allowed a practice of histografy close to scansions and discontinuities. This practice or historical perspective shocked up the the Philosophy of History on which traditional History stands. Thus, usual notions inside this field such as continuity, regularity, totality and subject' s sovereingty are inquired and reformulated along with an important political factor: the idea of "becoming aware" set as a condition of revolution. On his late works Foucault focus on the analysis of self-construction and the breakthrough of subjectification process. The practice of liberty and creation of autonomy opposite the forms of domination -drawn by disciplinary and security societies- led the french thinker to retrieve the "attitude" (éthos) of Enlightenment' s philosophy. This movement implies the introduction of modern components (freedom, autonomy) and, as a consequence, the actualization of a kind of subject conception familiar in somehow to the one was critized in the works of his first and second periods. This paper will try to answer the followings questions: a) In which way the late research of Foucault doesn´t impliy a turn to the sovereignty of subject and, as a result, to Philosophy of History? b) How can be comprehend the breakthrough subjectification process if is not throughout "becoming aware"?; and c) Which status has the knowledge of history in the context of this issue?

This paper deals with some beliefs and attitudes produced by the victorious groups of the coup d'état that took place in October 1820. We attempt to show that after these violent political episodes, centralist sectors displayed a conciliatory rhetoric that can be traced in periodicals and in the messages announced by men with political and military power in the province. Such a rhetoric was accompanied by measures taken by the provincial executive power and they were intended to integrate some federal sectors recently defeated. This statement allows to question the idea that October winners started an intense revenge over defeated groups, which could be noticed in the new military reforms where no former revolutionary would be included.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the similarities in terms of historical conceptions between Hannah Arendt and Arthur Danto. On the basis of those similarities, and m view of the fact that the works of Arendt related to this subject were published before those of Dante- middle and late 50s- we will try to show how this authoress anticipated, m a certain way, the general approach of historical narrativism that began with Dante's publication in 1965 of his book Filosofia analítica de la historia en We also consider that, unlike Dante. Arendt deals not only with the epistemological issues of History but also with the relationship between History and Politics This particular aspect in Arendt's approach, that we will call the political dimension of History, plays a key role In the strengthening o1 the public sphere [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
