The article analyzes the spectacularization of intimacy in the iconographies of buses in the Colombian Caribbean between 2013 and 2023, investigating whether these representations constitute power, territory, history, and cultural identity of the subjects through iconological communication. More than 1000 photographs were reviewed to select 15 iconographies and conduct interviews with bus drivers and owners. It is revealed that in some cities, cultural signs are being replaced by icons of commercial and institutional power. [Extracted from the article]

This article analyzes the constitutional implications of the future validity of the Escazú Agreement (Regional Agreement on Access to Information, Public Participation and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters in Latin America and the Caribbean) in the legal Peruvian system. Second, this article analyzes whether there is consistency between the content of this regional treaty on environmental procedural rights and what is prescribed by the Constitution of Peru. This implies analyzing a series of constitutional principles associated with the Ecological Constitution, the principle of sustainability, the fundamental right to enjoy a healthy environment and the constitutional design of state environmental tasks. Through a documentary analysis of normative, jurisprudential and doctrinal sources on environmental matters, environmental procedural rights are described and their consistency at the level of constitutional regulation with other constitutional goods, such as economic freedoms, is analyzed. Finally, Peru faces various political challenges to improve the public management of its natural resources and thereby define its own model of environmental democracy. In this sense, the Escazú Agreement represents a challenge as well as an opportunity to give greater legitimacy to the planning of public decisions on ecosystems and the use of natural resources, and thereby avoid a possible impact on the fundamental right to a healthy environment.

Thanks to the machete and stick fighting (Colombian grima), a martial art from the Afro communities of the Colombian Pacific, writer Juan Cárdenas creates in Elástico de sombra (2019) a literary work that draws on the imagination and cultural framework of the black communities of Cauca (magical thinking, fantastic stories, and the importance of orality). This novel becomes a powerful symbol of the historical resistance in the region, a resistance that encompasses political, aesthetic, racial, and gender dimensions. This essay examines how Elástico de sombra aims to re-center the black communities of the Pacific within the national narrative from which they have been excluded, while also connecting them transnationally, integrating the local context into a broader constellation that extends towards the Caribbean and beyond.

The article discusses the current challenges that society faces, such as the lack of trust in people, the increase in psychological disorders and suicides, global unemployment, and poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean. It also mentions the negative impact of the pandemic on education, especially the lack of access to connectivity and digital skills. Despite these challenges, the article emphasizes the importance of reflecting, researching, and taking action to generate positive changes in society. During a discussion session, participants expressed different views on the importance of preparing for university and life, some focused on developing as professionals with personal values and contributing to the country, while others seek to improve their economic situation. The need to frequently ask oneself this question is highlighted, as the answers can change over time, and the importance of making decisions based on truth and the common good is raised.

Specialized international organizations discuss museology on an ongoing basis. These institutions usually develop various recommendations that, despite not binding, are considered soft law norms since they influence the generation or modification of the internal law of the countries. However, the influence of these soft law norms will depend on how permeable the legal-administrative systems are. For this reason, this paper proposes to analyze the permeability of the countries of Latin America and The Caribean to global trends regarding museums based on the evaluation of four variables that reconstruct the degree of implementation of the recommendations issued by specialized international organizations. A traffic light methodology is adopted with a three-level assessment scale that describes the status of each country. The results show that the region’s countries present very different situations regarding the situation of their museums in the national system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes the differences in unemployment between immigrants from Latin America and the Caribbean and the US population - whites and African Americans - between 2019 and 2021. Descriptive statistics are observed and probability models are adjusted to identify unemployment-related aspects. We found that, although differences in the probability of being unemployed during the pandemic were associated with the population's education levels, the intersection of race, ethnicity, and sex played a central role in the disparities found. We found that for black men and women, the probability of being unemployed increased during the pandemic. Non-white Latin American immigrants were more likely to be unemployed.

This article presents a methodological approach for studying the press in the Caribbean region of Costa Rica between 1884 and 1950. It emphasizes the importance of considering the communicative circuit of newspapers, from their production to their arrival to the reader. It is mentioned that the Atlantic region of Costa Rica was multiethnic and multicultural, with a predominantly Afro-descendant population in 1900. There were several attempts to establish newspapers in the area, but the only successful one was La Voz del Atlántico, which was in circulation from 1934 to 1946. The study proposes a methodology for analyzing the history of the press in the Costa Rican Caribbean, considering the social, political, economic, and technological context. The importance of regional media in the construction of identities and the development of the region is highlighted. [Extracted from the article]

Based on China's multilevel engagement strategy in Latin America and the Caribbean, this paper seeks to investigate Argentina's subnational strategies towards the Asian giant in terms of energy transition in two areas: the production of renewable energies and the production of lithium as a storage medium. The perspectives of asymmetric interdependence and structuralism are used to explain the pattern of links between the two countries; and studies of paradiplomacy are used to understand the international actions of Argentina's provinces. The analysis focuses on energy initiatives between 2014 and 2023, using a qualitative methodology with case studies. The initial argument maintains that the development of clean energy is a complementary interest between the Argentine provinces and China, as the Asian country builds its leadership in the field of energy transition, and the provinces diversify their local production matrices.

This article analyses the role played by privateer companies in the Caribbean Sea in the 18th century. Through the actions of their companies, we can appreciate the articulation of regional Caribbean trade in a scenario of imperial struggles and conflicts for the control of American trade. We analyze Spanish corsair actions after the decline of the Commercial Monopoly following the signing of the Treaty of Utrecht. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article focuses on exploring visual strategies in data journalism and presents the main findings of a research based on interviews with journalists from Latin America and the Caribbean. Data journalism, a branch of investigative journalism, utilizes digital technologies to gather, process, and analyze large volumes of data with the aim of producing news and information. A distinctive feature of this practice is the inclusion of visual representations that not only appeal aesthetically but also facilitate public access, comprehension, and interpretation of data. This study aims to contribute to the development of the professional and academic field related to data journalism and its visual dimensions by exploring how these strategies can be used more effectively to communicate complex information to broader audiences.

Introduction: The Caribbean is the second most polluted sea by debris in the world. Urban waste from this region goes to open dumps and 85% of its wastewater is not treated, arriving a great proportion to the beaches. The Guanahacabibes National Park is Biosphere Reserve and the sea turtles that nest on its beaches are on the Red List of threatened species, also there are fish associated with the coral reef and seabirds in the area. Objective: To determine the risk of ecological impact of debris that end on the "El Holandés" beach of the Guanahacabibes National Park on animal biota. Materials and Methods: The collected debris was quantified and classified by type, possible origin and color. The risk of its ecological impact on animal biota was determined. Results and Discussion: The areas to the east of the camp are more contaminated with the presence of marine debris. White and blue plastic predominated (mainly lids and containers); the number of fragments whose function cannot be identified is large. There is a risk that the plastic material may be swallowed by sea turtles, birds and fish by being confused with food or hinder their normal behavior. The presence of sargassum in large quantities is a source of entry of marine debris. Conclusions: The importance of carrying out the systematic collection of marine debris is corroborated, since it is risky for the life of sea turtles, fish and birds. There is a base line for a longitudinal study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This text aims to make visible the situations of violence experienced by Haitian women in Chile regarding biases between professionals working in health and legal services on the economic situation in Haiti and the "detachment" that these women would have from their childhoods. To this end, I begin with an overview of the situation of Afro-descendants in Latin America and the Caribbean, and then dwell on the specific situation of women in these territories. Finally, I present cases of extreme violence against Haitian women that occurred in Chile, between 2017 and 2021, data collected in fieldwork. The conclusions point to the need to understand the human rights of the Afro-descendant population and Haitian women from the rights of peoples, understanding motherhood and the reproduction of life as cultural and deeply communal issues.

Higher education of the future, relevant and internationalized, as a public good and universal right, the support of public policies and the commitment to equity and quality for the benefit of society and the Sustainable Development Goals is a very topical topic. The concepts, principles, roadmaps, vision, and thematic axes that are defined in the World Conferences on Higher Education, the Regional Conferences that precede it, demand contextualization to each region, country, territory, and institution. The objective of this paper is to reflect on the background and future impact of higher education, internationalization from the regional perspective of Latin America and the Caribbean, and the necessary integration of higher education systems to face the poor positioning of most universities and its impact on the levels of development in the region.
