The paper ventures to look into the works of Bob Dylan and how his emergence from humble folk music to the contemporary pan-American ethos to encapsulating the changing tides of the time. The indignation towards the prevalent political situation, the attempt to reach to a stabilized conclusion and defy of stagnation which is overflowing in the lyrics of Dylan finds an uncanny resemblance with the philosophies laid by Jacques Derrida over the huge gamut of his works. Through this paper an attempt has been made to synchronize the different philosophical ideologies of both Derrida and Dylan into a singular unit. Their vouching for the effectiveness of visual representation, tracing back the binary usage of language to decipher the core of the structure and their almost prophetic declaration of a 'New Age' striving for a democratic space leads us to discover a certain uncanny resemblance in both their works. However distinct they might be from their origin, the core of their philosophical intellect was very much similar. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to trace U.S. imaginaries, representations, and uses made during the cycle of Latin America's centennial celebrations by a number of men of culture, diplomacy, and regional politics who played prominent roles in discussions about how the countries in the subcontinent should position themselves and act toward one another and toward the United States. By analyzing the multiple references and uses of symbols, signs, and other attributes of the Northern nation that circulated between 1910 and 1926 in a series of speeches, conferences, essays, articles, and books -largely unnoticed by the historiography on the subject-, it will be possible to observe how different images of such country were constructed and disseminated in order to promote and legitimize certain political-ideological searches and bets. Contrary to readings that have reduced the Latin American map at the time to the tension between Pan-Americanism and anti-imperialism, this article ultimately aims to make this image more complex by repositioning other uses and meanings around the United States at a particular moment of the continent's history, in which its imperialist expansion encountered a systematic search by Latin American countries to reassert their interests, positions, and national identities.

Despite being exceptionally rich in land, resources and developmental indexes, Canada has been struggling since long for establishing its due social and cultural identity. The challenge primarily comes from the engulfing influence of Canada's southern neighbor i.e. The United States of America, in the guise of Pan-Americanism or North-American continentalism. Literary authors and critics have been at the fore-front in feeling and resisting this adverse and overshadowing influence, and have launched from time to time powerful movements to assert their literary selfhood as a nation. Critically evaluating the aesthetic and literary endeavours of enlightened Canadians for this purpose, this paper focuses on the contribution made for achieving that goal during roughly the last half century. It contends that despite having distinct creative and imaginative identities, literary and artistic movements are inherently influenced by broader contexts -- social and political phenomena in particular. The contexts that have most substantially influenced the above-mentioned quest for literary selfhood include multiculturalism, Trans-Canadianism, political egalitarianism and literary liberalism.

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.

Official Development Assistance (ODA) received a new boost at the start of the 21st century, but this did not translate into a meaningful decrease in poverty and inequality on the periphery. In Latin America, under the leadership of governments called progressive or post-neoliberal, significant advances were observed to this effect, with the Movement for Socialism (MAS) in Bolivia paradigmatic in terms of socioeconomic development and the political and cultural inclusion achieved. Beginning with a critique of US ODA to Latin America, and considering the case of Bolivia, this paper seeks to open up potential ways of underpinning a theoretical line in the political praxis of development that maintains a positive sense of this notion, and which is at the same time able to break with the neoliberal perspective and dispute the scepticism of post-structuralist radicalism.

Information about several papers discussed at the first intra-hemisphere conference on Science and Man in the Americas is presented, particularly the creation of a Pan-American Association which was proposed by Glenn T. Seaborg, retiring president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The possibility that Seaborg's proposal might be followed by a global International Association for the Advancement of Science which may help in search of a scientific discovery is discussed.

Baldomero Sanín Cano is considered one of the main representatives of Contemporary Latin American thinking. Sanín was a prolific writer whose works influenced different fields of essay-writing, journalism, education, politics, and literary criticism. This paper seeks to analyse the ideology of an author who was an advocate of Latin American integration, through his constant opposition to American expansionism in the press. Based on an exploration of his personality, training and political experience, the paper discusses the manifestation of his anti-imperialism in the Spanish media and, in particular, during his time as foreign correspondent in Madrid (1922-1924) for the Argentine newspaper La Nación. It concludes with an analysis of the impact of his proposal to organize an Ibero-American congress in order to form a united front against the Genoa Conference resolutions. Baldomero Sanín Cano es, sin lugar a dudas, uno de los eruditos más relevantes de la intelectualidad latinoamericana contemporánea. Sus múltiples inquietudes hicieron que dejase una huella transversal en campos tan diversos como el ensayo, el periodismo, la crítica literaria, la educación o la política. Este artículo indaga en el ámbito ideológico del autor y, más concretamente, en su vertiente unionista continental, manifiesta en sus constantes críticas al expansionismo estadounidense. Partiendo de una prospectiva sobre la personalidad, formación y experiencia política de Sanín, el trabajo incide en lo que fue la manifestación de su antiimperialismo militante dentro de los medios españoles y, en particular, durante su corresponsalía en Madrid, de 1922 y 1924, para el diario argentino La Nación. Finalmente pasaremos a analizar el impacto que tuvo su propuesta para celebrar un congreso iberoamericano con el que aunar posturas frente a las resoluciones de la Conferencia de Génova.

Resumen Este artículo analiza los encuadres mediáticos desde los cuales la National Geographic Magazine -NGM- (1903-1926) contribuyó a la construcción de la identidad de los colombianos a comienzos del siglo XX. El argumento central del artículo es que los encuadres mediáticos encontrados están soportados por las ideologías del Destino manifiesto y del positivismo. A través de la estrategia retórica de la apropiación, los encuadres encontrados promueven dos valores asociados al Destino manifiesto: la virtud de las instituciones de Estados Unidos y la misión de transformar el mundo de acuerdo con los valores profesados por este país. En relación con la ideología del positivismo, los encuadres mediáticos la reproducen a través de la estrategia retórica de la clasificación, ya que los reportajes observan la identidad de los colombianos a través del lente de la teoría científica del darwinismo. Abstract This article analyzes the media framings from which National Geographic Magazine -NGM- (1903-1926) contributed to the construction of the identity of Colombians at the beginning of the 20th century. The main argument of this paper defends the idea that the media framings found are directly supported by the ideologies of Manifest Destiny and Positivism. By means of the rhetoric strategy of appropriation, the framings found promote two values associated with the Manifest Destiny: the virtue of the institutions of the United States and the mission to transform the world in accordance with the values professed by this country. Regarding the ideology of positivism, the media framings reproduce this ideology through the rhetorical strategy of classification, given that the reports observe the identity of Colombians through the lens of the scientific theory of Darwinism.

Tropical Town and Other Poems (1918) es el único poemario de Salomón de la Selva publicado en inglés, en el contexto de la Gran Guerra. Se le considera una obra de coyuntura entre dos culturas y tradiciones literarias. Este trabajo plantea la importancia de considerar su estudio en el ámbito de las letras hispánicas, entre otras razones, por su evidente relación con la tradición poética hispanoamericana. A partir del análisis crítico de los poemas, se evidencia la expresión de un discurso ideológico fundamentado en los ideales del panamericanismo, postura de implicaciones políticas que fue definitiva en la vida y obra del autor. Se analiza dicho discurso como una de las directrices temáticas que estructura y da unidad a la obra. Asimismo, se expone la calidad estética del poemario, a partir del análisis de algunos recursos poéticos.Tropical Town and Other Poems (1918) is the only collection of poems by Salomón de la Selva published in English, in the context of the Great War. It is considered a book that joins two cultures and two literary traditions. In this paper I underline the importance of studying De la Selva’s work inside of the Hispanic Literature because, among other reasons, it has an evident relationship with Hispanic American poetical tradition. Through the critical analysis of the poems, it is possible to perceive the expression of an ideological discourse based in the pan Americanism ideals—a doctrine that defined De la Selva’s work and life—. This paper studies such a discourse as one of the topics that structures and unites the author’s writing. At the same time, it analyses some of the poetical strategies, to show the aesthetic quality inherent to this collection of poems.

O presente trabalho trata do estabelecimento de escritórios do Instituto de Antropologia Social da Smithsonian Institution (SI) no México e no Brasil. A presença da SI dependia de acordos diplomáticos que requeriam aceitação pelos países hospedeiros. O trabalho focaliza documentos, tais como entrevistas e registros institucionais, analisados segundo a relação entre discursos e práticas envolvidos na resposta antropológica ao esforço de guerra. Tal análise pressupõe um entendimento de conceitos empregados na época como "antropologia aplicada", "estudos de área", "estudos de comunidade" e definições usadas especificamente por antropólogos da SI, como "bem limitado" e "choque cultural". O método comparativo mostra-se relevante para entender o que se passava nos dois países. No México, negociações políticas e outros fatores retardaram a criação do Instituto. No Brasil, o processo envolveu disputas interinstitucionais. O exame dessas interações leva à análise da maneira hierárquica como o Instituto era apresentado.This paper examines the establishment of offices of the Smithsonian Institute of Social Anthropology (ISA) in Mexico and Brazil. The Smithsonian's presence depended on diplomatic agreements that required acceptance from the host countries. The article analyzes written documents such as interviews and institutional records to explore the relationship between the discourses and practices involved in the anthropological contribution to the US war effort. This analysis presumes a basic understanding of concepts used at the time, such as 'applied anthropology,' 'area studies' and 'community studies,' as well as definitions specifically used by the Smithsonian's anthropologists, such as 'limited good' and 'culture shock.' The comparative method is relevant to understanding what happened in the two countries. In Mexico, political negotiations and other factors delayed its implantation. In Brazil the process involved inter-institutional disputes. A closer look at these interactions leads to an analysis of the hierarchic interrelationships involved in the creation of the Institute.

The article looks at Latin American responses to the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, with a particular focus on national politics and international relations. According to the author, Latin American governments and citizens attempted to use the crisis to alter U.S. policy towards Cuba and towards their own countries. The author notes that responses to the crisis varied considerably from country to country despite the unified appearance presented by a 1962 emergency resolution of the Council of the Organization of American States (OAS). It is suggested that Latin American responses to the crisis illustrate the Cold War political dynamics of the region. Topics discussed include nationalism, pan-Latin Americanism, imperialism, and insurgency.

William Eleroy Curtis was central to the creation of the Pan-American movement in the United States. As a lobbyist and bureaucrat, he helped organize the first Inter-American Conference in 1889–1890. As a journalist he became a leading “expert” on Latin America. This article uses Curtis to explore the relationship between Pan-Americanism and empire. Before 1898, Curtis sought only expanded trade, not territory for the United States. However, to explain why the country would “naturally” come to dominate Latin American markets, he depicted Latin Americans as backward yet capable of uplift through the infusion of U.S. knowledge and capital. He thus justified hemispheric control and helped U.S. Americans envision empire as a tutelary imperative. When Curtis supported territorial expansion in 1898 he did so in the language of civilizing mission rather than market aggrandizement. In combining narratives of difference and equality, Pan-Americanism served Curtis as a transitional imperial ideology. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

PAN-Americanism ,AMERICAN composers ,MUSIC history ,MUSICOLOGY - Abstract
Perhaps more than any other US composer, Aaron Copland is associated with Pan Americanism, a contradictory mad often unbalanced set of practices promoting North-South economic mad affective ties since the nineteenth century. Copland visited Latin America on behalf of the US government four times over the course of his career. He also befriended and taught Latin American composers, wrote about Latin American music, and composed several Latin- American-themed works, including the well-known El salón México. Focusing on one such encounter--Copland's three visits to Argentina (1941, 1947, 1963)--this article examines in detail Latin American opinion on Copland's cultural diplomacy, thus challenging the prevalent one-sided and largely US perspective. My analysis of these Spanish-language sources yields new biographical data on Copland while questioning recent assessments of his Latin American experience. I also illuminate the composer's conflicted approach to modernism, intimately connected to his desire to communicate with a broad public and to assert national identity. The crisis of modernism not only played itself out in some surprising ways in Argentina but also informed Copland's profoundly antimodernist vision of Latin American music, one rooted in essentialism and folkloric nationalism and which ultimately prevailed in the United States throughout the late twentieth century.

Interama, Miami’s legendary hemispheric center, is remembered as the overly ambitious exposition that never materialized. The Pan-American world’s fair designs explored over its long history were in many instances superficially conceived. In the mid-1960s, however, a team consisting of Louis Kahn and others elevated Interama into a nuanced hemispheric model; surprisingly, their design proposal remains unexplored. This essay examines how, as these architects crafted this tropical fair, they carefully resolved an imposed imperious program by envisioning their design as a model for the perfect city center. Consequently, they innovatively recast a New World discourse that had been repeatedly misappropriated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article considers Juana Manso (1819-1875) as a crucial nation maker in nineteenth-century Argentina. Usually studied as a novelist, Manso was important beyond her literary production. As the first woman to be appointed to a government position and arguably the most radical feminist in nineteenth-century Argentina, Manso's story informs us about Argentine feminism and education, and illustrates how a woman, who lived in Uruguay, Brazil, United States and Cuba, became a crucial transmitter of ideas about emerging nations and a living example of the interconnectedness of the Americas.

The Inter-American Court of Human Rights has elaborated a significant body of human rights jurisprudence through interpretation of regional human rights conventions and the adaptation of European and global precedents and global soft law. The Inter-American Court has also aspired to influence outside its region by offering innovative interpretations of human rights and by identifying norms as jus cogens. The Court's methodology in recent years has appeared to give insufficient consideration to the consent of the regional community of states as a factor in the evolutive interpretation of a human rights treaty. The article illustrates and criticizes that trend, and contends that greater attention to indicia of regional consent could improve the acceptance and effectiveness of the inter- American human rights system.

This paper examines how two Caribbean islands, Puerto Rico and Jamaica, developed ideas of national identity while negotiating political emancipation within two distinct, yet allied Anglophone empires. We can see this process through the Olympic movement and referred to here as “colonial Olympism.” Both Puerto Rico and Jamaica participated as colonies of the United States and Great Britain at international sporting events from 1930 to the 1950s. More than a benevolent gesture by the U.S. or Great Britain, Puerto Rico and Jamaica’s participation was intended to foster international goodwill through sport, including crucial notions of Pan-Americanism. Comparing these two islands, and the metropolises they represented, offers a good way to understand the commonalities and differences in U.S. and Great Britain’s geopolitical interests in Latin America. However, the Olympic and the Pan-American Games, gave both colonies the perfect scenario to perform as separate nations and fed a sense of distinct peoplehood. Sport leaders from both islands negotiated their way into nationhood by the very fact of participating in the Olympic movement, albeit as non-sovereign states. In turn, having Olympic nationhood became another important tool in both islands’ quest for decolonization, contributing an important angle to better understand twentieth-century international politics and decolonization processes.

A partir de una exploración de las ideas y las carreras de tres políticos e intelectuales argentinos como Vicente Gregorio Quesada, Roque Sáenz Peña y Manuel Ugarte, el artículo analiza la emergencia de un imaginario cultural, diplomático y legal antiestadounidense en Argentina entre finales del siglo XIX y comienzos del siglo XX, en el contexto de emergencia del panamericanismo y de los Estados Unidos como un poder hegemónico en América. El propósito del artículo es reexaminar los orígenes ideológicos del antiimperialismo latinoamericano, revisando el supuesto según el cual el imaginario antiestadounidense en Argentina estuvo dominado por una crítica culturalista e idealista de los Estados Unidos y ante todo enfatizando la importancia que tuvo en la formación de dicho imaginario el discurso del derecho internacional y la historia diplomática propuestos por la elite intelectual y política patricia. Asimismo, se explora la influencia que tuvo este discurso legal que se deriva de los escritos y la práctica diplomática de la elite patricia en la formación del antiimperialismo latinoamericano moderno que se conformó de manera sólida hacia comienzos del siglo XX, particularmente luego del proceso de la Reforma Universitaria en América Latina y que tuvo a Manuel Ugarte como una de sus figuras más emblemáticas. On the basis of an exploration of the ideas and careers of three Argentine politicians and intellectuals, such as Gregorio Vicente Quesada, Roque Sáenz Peña and Manuel Ugarte, the article analyzes the emergence of an cultural diplomatic and legal anti-U.S. imaginary in Argentina by the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century, in the context of the rise of Pan-Americanism and the United States as a hegemonic power in the Americas. The purpose of the paper is to re-examine the ideological origins of Latin American anti-imperialism, revising the assumption according to which the latter was dominated by a cultural and idealistic critique of the United States, and above all emphasizing the importance that the specific discourse of international law and diplomatic history as proposed by the intellectual and political patrician elite had in the formation of such ideology. It also explores the influence of this legal discourse derived from the writings and diplomatic practice of the patrician elite in the formation of Latin American modern anti-imperialism, which was solidly established by the early twentieth century, particularly after the University Reform in Latin America and had in Manuel Ugarte one of its most emblematic figures.

O presente trabalho trata do estabelecimento de escritórios do Instituto de Antropologia Social da Smithsonian Institution (SI) no México e no Brasil. A presença da SI dependia de acordos diplomáticos que requeriam aceitação pelos países hospedeiros. O trabalho focaliza documentos, tais como entrevistas e registros institucionais, analisados segundo a relação entre discursos e práticas envolvidos na resposta antropológica ao esforço de guerra. Tal análise pressupõe um entendimento de conceitos empregados na época como "antropologia aplicada", "estudos de área", "estudos de comunidade" e definições usadas especificamente por antropólogos da SI, como "bem limitado" e "choque cultural". O método comparativo mostra-se relevante para entender o que se passava nos dois países. No México, negociações políticas e outros fatores retardaram a criação do Instituto. No Brasil, o processo envolveu disputas interinstitucionais. O exame dessas interações leva à análise da maneira hierárquica como o Instituto era apresentado. This paper examines the establishment of offices of the Smithsonian Institute of Social Anthropology (ISA) in Mexico and Brazil. The Smithsonian's presence depended on diplomatic agreements that required acceptance from the host countries. The article analyzes written documents such as interviews and institutional records to explore the relationship between the discourses and practices involved in the anthropological contribution to the US war effort. This analysis presumes a basic understanding of concepts used at the time, such as 'applied anthropology,' 'area studies' and 'community studies,' as well as definitions specifically used by the Smithsonian's anthropologists, such as 'limited good' and 'culture shock.' The comparative method is relevant to understanding what happened in the two countries. In Mexico, political negotiations and other factors delayed its implantation. In Brazil the process involved inter-institutional disputes. A closer look at these interactions leads to an analysis of the hierarchic interrelationships involved in the creation of the Institute.

El objeto de este trabajo es analizar y reconstruir la participación argentina en los proyectos documentales científicos internacionales desarrollados a finales del siglo XIX y comienzos del XX. En él se presta especial atención a la creación de la Oficina Bibliográfica Nacional Argentina, ligada al Instituto Internacional de Bibliografía de Bruselas. El trabajo forma parte de un amplio proyecto destinado a explorar la incorporación latinoamericana a los desarrollos de la ciencia contemporánea a través de su participación en las redes de comunicación científica creadas en la época. Dicha participación no puede entenderse únicamente como producto de las necesidades documentales de las comunidades científicas o de la difusión del pensamiento positivo sino que debe ponerse en relación, así mismo, con el fenómeno del nacionalismo y los procesos de construcción de la identidad nacional. Además de aspectos locales, la participación argentina en dichos proyectos estuvo mediatizada por los movimientos latinoamericanista y panamericanista., The aim of this paper is to analyse and reconstruct Argentinian participation in early twentieth-century scientific documentation projects. Particular attention is paid to the attempts to establish a National Bibliographic Bureau connected to the International Bibliography Institute in Brussels. This article is part of a wider study that aspires to offer an overview of the involvement of Latin America in world science through its participation in the main contemporary networks of scientific communication. Participation in such projects and networks not only corresponds to local scientists' needs and the spread of positivism but it must be linked to nationalistic concerns and the process of construction of collective identity. In addition to local factors, Latin Americanism and Pan Americanism became both relevant trends in the development of scientific documentation initiatives in Argentina at that time.

SINCE the United States is now waking up to the importance of establishing true Pan American understanding and to the significance of student exchanges, it might not be amiss to add a few personal observations which I was privileged to make this past summer. The state of New Mexico, due to its fortunate border location, has naturally taken a leading part in advocating proper Latin American appreciation. The New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts has tried to do its share under the far-sighted leadership of its president, Col. Hugh Milton, who appointed a standing committee on Latin American Relations. Unique is the feature that this body of five has two Mexican members. Together they planned the ever-increasing Sarabia Memorial Library of Latin American History and Literature last year, the annual Christmas excursion to Mexico, and best of all, the student exchanges. Our opportunities for Latin American students exhibit several unique features. In the first place, our scholarships are for twelve months, a period long enough for the theoretical benefits to become actual. Scholarships for a shorter period often have a discouraging effect. The foreign visitor has neither the time to learn English nor to adjust himself to our points of view, and he often goes home with many misconceptions and even ill-feeling. In the second place our school grants a room, board, and tuition "scholarship" which has to be earned by working for the college a certain number of hours per month. Psychologically and economically this arrangement should prove more salutary than the traditional concept of Uncle Sam, alias Santa Claus. It increases the student's self-reliance and places him on the same basis with the native sons. He is proud to learn his living here just as so many of our own students have to do. The type of work required proves to be a source of mutual pleasure and benefit. Conducting Spanish conversation tables in the dining hall and lecturing now and then to classes and clubs delights the foreigner and increases his self-respect. Assisting with the correction of papers and journalistic efforts in Spanish opens up to him new understanding of the linguistic difficulties of his own tongue. Contrary to the common practice of awarding scholarships to Liberal Arts students, our college this year chose one student of agriculture and one in engineering. Opportunities for study in these fields are rather limited in
