Las Ambigüedades De La Autenticidad en La América Latina
Este artículo sostiene que en América Latina, las afirmaciones del nacionalismo sobre la unidad y autenticidad se basan en nociones ambiguas de exclusión y jerarquía civilizadora. El artículo traza los vínculos entre el establecimiento de la novela Doña Bárbara de Rómulo Gallegos en 1929 como un documento mítico del proyecto populista-nacionalista en Venezuela, y el contexto de la producción y la recepción temprana de la novela. ntegrando la Ilus…

Anthrohistory
Stretching back to the 1950s, interdisciplinary work between anthropology and history has taken diverse expressions. Yet it has developed with more coherence since the 1980s, largely in response to the declining promise of global modernity and the rise of poststructuralism and deconstructionism.

Development policy is analyzed by liberal models in terms of bargaining transactions between interest-maximizing actors and by the dependency perspective in terms of the internalized requirements of worldwide capital accumulation. Both approaches assume the working of capitalist rationality in dependent nations. In contrast, a focus on productive relations, class alliances, and political coalitions reveals the constraints on developmental policie…
